    ABSOLUTELY IT DOES!!!!!!!

    Its called TETHERING. You may have an Unlimited Email and Browser feature/bundle on your price plan, but that doesn’t mean you can use your phone as a modem.

    If you do then those would be considered data charges and will be billed accordingly.

    Believe you me, coz I work for a cell phone company.

    If you need to use your phone as a modem then make sure you have the right DATA PLAN FIRST by calling customer service *611

    Then you will create a DUN Connection …

    Follow these steps …
    Add A New Internet Connection

    on your computer Start -> Connect To -> Show all connections -> Create a new connection.

    1. Click Next

    2. Select “Connect To The Internet” then Next

    3. Select “Set up my connection manually” then Next

    4. Select “Connect using a dial-up modem” then Next.

    5. Check only the Standard Modem (if prompted).

    6. Give the connection a name such as “BlackBerry Modem”, then Next.

    7. On the next screen, pick one of the following phone numbers, depending on your carrier:
    ….If you use GSM/Cingular/AT&T/TMobile: Enter phone number *99#
    ….If you use iDEN/Nextel/Telus: Enter phone number S=2
    ….If you use CDMA/Verizon/Sprint/Bell Canada: Enter phone number #777

    8. Click Next.
