Hi everybody,
Do you know any cellphone can be used as a modem to dial up internet and
send fax?
Please recommend it.
Thanks.

Re: any cellphone can be used as a modem?
most cellphone these days have modem/fax function. try get the one with IR
or bluetooth for wireless connection else you'll need to purchase cable as
well, depend on you price range...
nokia 8210, 8250 are cheaper older one
nokia 8910, 8910i are more expesive with bluetooth
ericsson t68i, t39m cheaper one with bluetooth
ericsson t610 nice large colour screen newer one with blue tooth
i have owned all these once, they all perfectly good all, only one complaint
t39m got a large antena sticking out.

The only ones that will work to do what you suggest are AMPS, and even
then not very well. GSM and CDMA provide data transmission services,
but they are NOT modems. They take the data you present at the RS232
interface, and substitute it for the voice payload.
A modem takes the data, converts it to a phase modulated carrier that
is demodulated at the other end, and there is in the rub. Because the
phase relatoinships among the components in voice carry no
information, none of the vocoders make any effort to preserve them,
i.e. the phase relationships are lost, and in modems faster then 600
bits per second, the data is carried in the phase relationships!!
Ergo, connect up a modem to a AMPS phone, and you may be able to use
dial up to about 9600bps, perhaps more if conditions are very very
good. Try that with a D-AMPS, CDMA or GSM phone, and you will get
nothing but a bill for the air time.

Actually, many phones emulate a modem, and the data gets converted to modem
tones at the connection to the phone network and gets about 9600 - 14400
bps. However, your cell company has to support the service.
