Tether it to a laptop.

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.

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.
