2G doesn't necessarily mean modem emulation.  It's simply less bandwidth 
that can still be used for IP.  That modem service required the carrier 
to convert the data to standard modem tones, before placing it on the 
POTS network.  My previous phone a Motorola V180 could be used as a 
modem, provided I paid for the service.  I don't think that service is 
currently available.
