T-Mobile's Data Plan

[sushi]

I just bought a Samsung V205 from T-Mobile. I like to go online with iPAQ using my phone but the data plan is so expensive ($19.95/month). Anyone getting better deal?

Actually, that doesn't sound bad at all. What type of service is it? Most of the GSM/GPRS carriers charge per MB. If your plan is for unlimited usage, I'd say stick with it!

I just called T-Mobile customer service. The CSR told me I don't need T-Zone or T-Mobile Internet for dial up internet. If I use my phone to dial up an ISP it will just use my regular minutes. The problem is that I don't have any dial up account. Any FREE ISP available?

If you have a nationwide plan with t-mobile, long distance is free (right?), so you can use www.freedialup.org

This is an isp with #'s in mass, new hampshire, and rhode island.

They have no email, but it is totally free, no client to load, use any username and password.

I tried it out on my e740 connected via bluetooth to my t68i (on t-mobile) and it worked fine to surf and check my web based email acct.

I am waiting for my next bill to see if I have any wierd charges before I go using it regularly (I have a t-zones plan which is supposedly only good for surfing wap on the phone - NOT using the phone as a modem)

Good luck!
