I tried to go online from my laptop using the bluetooth features in my laptop and my cell phone. However, I have problems dialing into NetZero from my bluetooth enabled cell phone. Does anyone know if any ISP which accepts signals from cell phones?

You need to buy a data plan from your mobile phone service provider. Then you dial into their network. TMo's runs $20/month unlimited.

Which provider do you use? Most major providers have some form of mobile internet access. I use Verizon Wireless and their ExpressNetwork plan. This allows me to connect to the internet (BlueTooth via v710) and operates at speeds around 40-70kbs.
You really don't want to use a regular ISP when dialing with your cellphone. It will work, but very slowly. Most celllular networks are limited to 14.4kbs when straight dialing an ISP...not conducive for anything except reading e-mail. Also, those calls come out of your minutes. Most data offerings by wireless carriers are seperate plans, so you use a seperate batch of minutes/data as opposed to what's used for your voice plan.
