Paul, Actually, you might want to find out if you are using a gprs network on Verison and if so, you can probably connect using that on your cell phone and at least read your email and possibly send as well. If you do have gprs or something similar, you should have no trouble browsing the net using the cell phone. We have at&t wireless and they do charge extra for internet access. The charge depends on how much you wish to download, so you may want to check with Verison to be sure of your limit keeping in mind that the amount of download includes data from web pages.
It can be almost as much a hassle keeping track of all this as it is trying to track your minutes used. <smile> Don On Sun, 21 Dec 2003 17:26:49 -0800, Paul Henrichsen wrote: Thanks, Don. I might just take you up on your offer of help<grin>. I am with verison for my cell phone and sbc for my internet. I probably wouldn't use it for e-mail. I don't think there would be a way to do that unless sbc had a dial up number. I suppose that is how you would get your e-mail. I need to call them and ask. I guess my first step would be to call them and ask if they have a direct dial number for those of us who use dsl at home.
