I'm on with AT&T and pretty happy with the service. How does it compare to verizon/sprint? I get 4 bars quite a lot. Magicjack use is great, and sometimes I can even fax through it. I'm going to get an antenna/amp system to help out with that. If the better half will let me.

Sprint charges $30 extra a month for tethering, but I know ways to get around that.

Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,

Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt.

You may find free internet access as some of the independant truck stops, like Truck World in Hubbard, OH. A number of the KWIK TRIP truck stops in WI also have free access.

Well since I already have the Sprint Everything plan on my BlackBerry Pearl I am hoping to get set up with the work around that matcat is using.
I will await his PM and hope that it works!

I tether one of my PDAs to my laptop and it doesn't cost me any extra at all. I have an unlimited data plan that costs me $129. a month for both of my PDAs/cell phones.

I use Verizon service. United/Mayflower has a corporate discount (I found out when I was at the Verizon store). I got my card for free.
The service works 99.99% of the time, but keep in mind I roll all 48 states and Canada. Canada use will weigh your bill DOWN, so I suggest not using it there.
The service can be very fast sometimes, but sometimes its kind of slow depending where I'm at. It also kicks me off a lot, so I have to click "connect" again. Sometimes it is twice an hour, sometimes it is 3-4 times in 10 minutes. I pay 60/mo, and am fairly happy with it.
