In the US the primary GSM carriers are AT&T (Cingular) and T-Mobile. They both offer "unlimited" data add-ons for voice service for about $30, standalone unlimited data for $35-$40. I have unlimited data with T-Mobile on the no-longer-offered 'internet3 VPN' add-on plan, $20 for unlimited. I've gone a week before routing my home network across EDGE when my DSL was down, never hit a consumption limit yet. (though I don't doubt there is one, at least for regular usage as opposed to very intermittent as mine is - until my Freerunner arrived I probably averaged 2mb per month the past two years, with no usage some months and occasional 10-20mb) AT&T's 'PDA Personal' unlimited is $30 add-on, $35 standalone. T-Mobile's 'Total Internet' is (IIRC) $30 add-on, $40 standalone. j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
