Has Anyone used a Wireless INternet Card to connect your Mac to your
cell phone service?

I am using the old singular now AT&T with a Mac Book Pro...

Cell phones don't work in this way. It is possible to use the cell phone's bluetooth to access the Internet from your Mac, but I don't know of any cell phones that will share their Internet connection to wireless.
 
Actually I have heard of something... a card one can insert in the MAc that will connect your Mac to the cell service internet. I know there is a Verizon card that works on PC's.

Yeah... you'd have to talk to AT&T about it. The card you're talking about connects to the side of a PC laptop via a CardBus/PCMCIA slot. G4 and most G3 laptops had these, and the new MacBook Pros have a faster, smaller variation of this technology. iMacs, MacBooks, and Mac Minis have no way of using these cards, as far as I know.
 
PowerBooks can use some CardBus adapters, MacBooks can use some ExpressCard adapters, and all should be able to use the USB modem, but do your homework before you buy.
