If you want to use a phone as a modem, then my only recommendation is that you avoid Motorola phones, as most Motorola phones have a bug in their GSM modem interface which prevents them from sending any SMS messages that includes a user data header (UDH). And the port information is encoded in the user data header.

If you have to use a phone as a modem, most SonyEricsson and Nokia phones support a GSM modem interface ... however most of the newer Nokia phones can be used for sending only (not receiving).
