I'm thinking about buying the Bluetooth version of Motorola Phone tools but
have a question I need answered. The literature says: "Use your Motorola
phone as a modem to connect your laptop to the internet." I presently use a
dsl line to connect my laptop to the internet and don't want to pay for
another service to use with the phone. Would I have to pay for another
interent service that would wokr with my cell phone? Any help appreciated.

There is no special version for BT, the program supports both BT and
USB. As for connecting to a dial up provider, yes, you would need an
account with a dial up ISP. Perhaps your DSL provider offers dial up
too. I know that with Roadrunner Cable Modem service I also have a dial
up number I can use on the road and they don't charge me extra for that.

You don't need an Internet connection to use Mobile Phone Tools. You
can use MPT with the 551 either via cable or bluetooth.
Additionally, only if you wanted to, using bluetooth you could access
the Internet through the 551. I think they were trying to explain
available features, not requirements.

Thats correct, you can use bluetooth or a cable to connect to the internet
with your notebook. I use Verizon and #777 for 144kbs connection with the
charges against my plan (minutes), not mb's downloaded. Their is no
registration or signup required. I don't have a cable so I use bluetooth.
Its great when you are away from your DSL!
