It depends on the service and the phone, and how you want to connect (bluetooth, physical cable) but here's a generic guide... http://mobileoffice.about.com/od/typesofaccessavailable/ht/bluetoothphone.htm

you need to have a data plan with your service provider. make sure to find out if you have to pay per byte or if you have "unlimited" access.
once you have the service, you plug your phone into your computer via a cable. for me, one end of the cable plugs into my phone and the other end plugs into a usb port on my laptop. to connect you need software that configures your phone as a modem.
please note that using your cel phone as a modem is not reliable or fast. i drop connection all the time and the limit of cel phone bandwidth means you will get speeds slower than that of normal dialup.
it's ok for checking mail or a quick online search, but trying to use it as a reliable connection will only end in frustration.
it's a quick-fix solution, not something to rely on.
