cellphone configuration as pc modem

am connecting my cellphone as modem for winxp and queried the phone
but got a response that the phone is not interacting to the pc's sent
message.
i believe the cable from pc to phone is okay.
one thing for sure, i don't know the initialization command for the
configuration.
can anyone provide me with one?
could there be any issues? i used 9600 bps for max speed. could this
also be the problem?
thanks

Could be lots of issues depending on the phone. You used to be abel
to use any phone at 9600 without having to pay for a data connection.
That went away with analog cell service. At least on my phone anyway,
there is only one way to get cell data, and that is through a plan or
costly per mb charges. It doesn't work like a modem either, you
connect directly to the phone network for internet, rather than
dialing your isp.
