In the near future I intend to connect a cell phone to a laptop as a
modem.  I actually did this at a Cingular store and was about to buy
new phones and a new contract until they said it would cost a penny
per Kbyte ($10/M), or no extra charge, or some other charge -- I did
not properly record the third persons answer.

Verizon and T-Mobile say no extra charge.

Sprint said they would cancel the account of anyone who did it.

Anyone have any experience with this?  Note, this has nothing to do
with a dedicated plugin modem and ISP service, this is a cell phone,
connected by cable or IR to a PC, serving as a standard modem to do
all the things a land line modem does.  Modern phones have this
capability.
