Saw a devise at a computer shop at the Central Airport (Chiang Mai). You insert your SIM into that devise and plug it into a USB port on your notebook. There are several payment packages to choose from. Sorry - not really sure what it's called.

It's called a modem.

As I understand it, you have a mobile that connects to the internet and you want to use it as a modem?

If you have one of the mobiles that work as a modem, you won't need any software other than what comes with the phone. I have an Omnia and use it for that. It's a shit phone but adequate for the internet.

When the phone is connected via usb, switch on the modem function and, assuming you have a mobile internet connection, you'll get the pop up message on the PC saying the network is connected. It's just like plugging in a LAN cable.

It may, however, require software from Samsung. I only have experience with Nokia, which also runs Symbian S60 like many Samsung phones. In Nokia's case, you double-click the icon in the Nokia PC Suite, choose your proivder (AIS, DTAC) and click connect. That simple.

Samsung, I know, has some desktop software to go with its smart phones. If you don't have it, check the box for a CD or their website.
