Are you using the Rumor Touch with Sprint or Virgin Mobile? You can find the drivers here:

If you are using the Touch with Sprint, I don't think you will be able to get it to work... Sprint Blocks "Tethering" unless you have a SmartPhone... I would check with your carrier to be sure.

Good Luck.

The "Product Pro" is correct. You can not use this device as a modem. You would need to use a "Smart Phone" to tether to a computer for internet (at a price of $29.99 a month). If you are on an "Everything Unlimited" plan i recommend just getting an aircard or mifi and add that for a discounted $50 a month. Hope this helps.

It really all depends on the carrier and if they offer that service but most phones are capable of doing this feature. Sprint no longer offers that to promote their aircards
