Im looking into buying a phone with an 802.11b wireless card, will it read my linksys wireless g router?

I ask this because I know that a wireless g receiver can read b because they are both on a 2.4ghz frequency.

    no, it needs to be 802.12b

    It should work. Most routers are b/g. Check the make/model and/or check the manual/manufacturer website.

    In June 2003, a third modulation standard was ratified: 802.11g. This flavour works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but operates at a maximum raw data rate of 54 Mbps, or about 24.7 Mbps net throughput like 802.11a. 802.11g hardware will work with 802.11b hardware. Details of making b and g work well together occupied much of the lingering technical process. In older networks, however, the presence of an 802.11b participant significantly reduces the speed of an 802.11g network. The modulation scheme used in 802.11g is orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) for the data rates of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps.
