Cell phones in action: Use a 3G AT&T cell phone as a wireless modem for a Mac

We hear a lot about 3G cell phones and all the services they have to offer. We wanted to see just how well it would work if we paired a 3G cell phone with a Mac via Bluetooth and used it as a wireless modem. So we took a Samsung SGH-A737 cell phone, signed up for an unlimited data plan, paired it with a Bluetooth-enabled MacBook Pro, and put it to the test. Check out the results below, and if you want to try this at home, see our How-To on the topic.

Note: Although we used a Samsung SGH-A737 cell phone in the video, it’s best to use a 3G HSPA smartphone.

Does this still work? Does At&t charge you additional for this since they have data plans for dataconnect? I'd hate to get hit by a big bill without knowing it. Thanks for your help!
