Its called tethering to use your phone as a modem. Do a search for tether and you'll be good to go.

Just beware when using this with AT&T. I've heard stories of them catching on to people that tether phones to laptops and giving them outrageous charges as a result. I've done it before with other phones like the Tilt and SE W810i, but I haven't seen where this can be done with the branded Bold yet, for Mac users.

I work for AT&T. You have to download communication manager from the At&t website and get AT&T to add the tethering package. You get free wifi at hotspots and it cost $60 bucks a month. Once you do that you can connect just like a laptop card. It will not connect without that unless you can find someone to bypass that with settings on your computer. I know that can be done with the curve 2

use instructions i just posted they work for the bold and you get about 1.2 mps of speed downlaod

you dont need the laptop 60 plan
you can use the bb plan

Spectackler, thanks communication manager thats what i was looking for, i used this with my tilt but i couldn't remember what it was called. Thanks to every one else who tried to help without being a smart !#$

thats funny, I called at&t twice and they quoted me $15/month. perhaps because I have the BES?
If it is $60, why in the world would anyone do that when you could just get a broadband card for $60/month and no hastle tying up the phone lol.

It's 50 for BIS with unlimited data and texting.

60 is the same thing just with tethering added.
