Default BB Torch as wireless usb adapter?

Hello all cb users, First time poster long time follower.

I have a simple request but one i cant seem to shed any light on myself. Basically i have an internet connection on my computer, but no wireless card/capabilities. I was wondering if it was possible to use my BB torch 9800 as a usb wireless adapater or wireless device on my network, via plugging it into my pc? If anyone could help at all even if such help is telling me i am retarded i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance Ben

Yes, it's called tethering. Lot's and lot's of threads on this. I tether by USB and by Bluetooth.

If you mean as a moblie hotspot, No.

Check with your carrier to see if your plan covers tethering. Tethering may incur additional data costs.

Honestly, USB Wireless adapters are dirt cheap these days. You're better off just getting one and not rely on your phone.
