Continuing my last questions, I thought I could get this usb 3g modem which supports UMTS 2100/1900/850 - http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-E1556-U...6311667&sr=8-1

Can I get a SIM card from AT&T, stick it in my phone for voice calls, and when I need to use the internet, put it in this USB modem which supports 850MHZ in 3g, and browse with my laptop?

Is this even possible, Using a regular SIM card with this type of modem?

Can AT&T deny data usage if I try to use the SIM card with a modem and not with a phone?
