I Have No Data Plan, Can I Connect via USB and use the Internet from my Computer?

[kness]

I have the Telus Pearl 8130 CDMA without Wifi.

All the threads I've read tell us how to tether a phone so that our laptop can use our phone's internet. I want to do the reverse.

I have no data plan and don't want to pay for data, yet I want to install some apps. If I connect my phone to my computer via USB or bluetooth, can the phone use my home network's internet?

I saw this link here: [hubpages .com/hub/How-to-Connect-to-Internet-with-Your-BlackBerry-without-Paying-For-Data-Plan]How to Connect to Internet with Your BlackBerry without Paying For Data Plan[/url] but frankly it doesn't make any sense. I don't see how it would allow me to surf without data charges.

Can someone with some expertise please comment?

You might be able to install some apps or themes using Desktop Manager on your PC. Lecture 9: How To Install and Manage Third Party Software Applications On Your BlackBerry | CrackBerry.com

You cannot "reverse tether" and use your PC as a hotspot for your BlackBerry. Wi-Fi would be necessary, and your device does not have Wi-Fi capability.
