Wireless Connection through existing cell phone number?

Hi,

I am going to purchase a laptop for a friend and the laptop already has a Wireless 1350 Internal Wireless (802.11b/g, 54Mbps) card in it. Is it possible to connect to a (or use with a) cell phone number over this device? If not, if it is possible, what does one need. The person gets around a lot, and needs to connect to the net quite pften. Any help greatly appreciated.

He needs a special cable that he can buy from his cell phone supplier.
They are specific to cell phone in use..so it depends upon the type of phone he
has
It connects from the USB port on a laptop to a connection under the screen on
mine and uses the cell internet.
Of course he has to sign up for such a plan ..$$$$

Hi, wireless, aka infrared, you'll require a USB, bluetooth adaptor....
