Hi Alia. Yes, you may connect your computer, like laptops, to the internet through your cellphone. The cellphone must be compatible with a cell service provider. It must be web enabled and capable of auto switching from digital to analog data. This is called Dual Mode. But, new cellphone nowadays have built-in modems. This information is already available in your phone user guide. But, if your cellphone has no built-in modem, you should have a data port.

In order for you to set up your cellphone as a modem, you should connect it to your laptop with a USB data cable. This item is already available from most service providers or electronic stores.

A cellphone modem connects in the internet at a dial up speed. So,it is considerably slowe if you are downloading a large file or data. But, if you're just sending emails or messages, it's quite not noticeable or problematic.
