I bourght a nokia 6230 which to use as a modem to connect my laptop to the

My question is --can I use my current TPG dial up account or do I need
another providor.

If you have enough money to use minutes on a cell phone as your modem - my
suggestion to you is to get a true modem or a PCMCIA wireless modem card -
where you actually have a PCMCIA card that is a wireless modem and uses your
minutes like that and in the right areas gives you phenominal speed.
