Which feature phones (non-smart phones) can be hacked for their data?

I would like to buy a feature phone because I have no use for a smart phone; however, I would like to use my phone as a modem for my laptop once or twice a month.

Has anyone been successful with tethering their feature phone to their laptop while using their current AT&T data plan?

If so, which phones can do this? I can either buy new from att.com or used.

I don't believe there are any non smartphones out there that have mobile hotspot or tethering. I could be wrong.

Most 3G feature phones can be utilized for tethering to a laptop or other compatible device. You'll just have to buy a separate data plan, like you would for a USB 3g data stick modem.

If you want to be able to use your phone as as wireless router (modem, etc) you will need a smartphone. non-smartphones are not capable of this, and they would hammer you for abusing the TOS of dumbphone data plans, I would wager.
