Can you use a smart phone as a WiFi card for your PC?

Is there anyway that you can use a smartphone for WiFi for my laptop instead of a WiFi card? id rather pay only 30 dollars a month for unlimited access instead of 60 for limited.

It's called tethering. Verizon has phones and plans for tethering.

[Paynetrayne16]

Yes, it cost extra. You plug your cellphone into your laptop. The plans are listed above under "Plans."

As a former Alltel customer, I think it is a down right SHAME verizon is charging extra to use mobilebroad band.  This was FREE to alltel customers.  Like a fool, I listened to Verizon Customer Rep and asked if this serice was included and was told yes.  Today, I found out there is an additional charge of $20.00.  I will be saying goodbye to Verizon after  my contracts expire (maybe even before)!!
