As far as I know they're two different animals.

Only the Palm VII uses mobitex.  For the Palm VII, all you need to do is check
their coverage map at http://www.palm.net/coverage/index.html for your area.
You don't have to deal with an ISP or anything other than Palm.

If you've got a minstel modem, you want to ask about CDPD service.  CDPD
(as I understand it) rides on top of conventional cellular phone networks.  Lots
of people offer CDPD service.
