any carrier have something like this? I'm looking to get a deal by getting wireless internet card and an unlimited or very high minute cell phone in one package?

No.

The national carriers have the hight speed data networks.

The smaller carriers have cheap/unlimited minutes.

It sucks I know, but that's how it is.

How is it? I don't really understand what you just said.

I'm trying to get both a cell phone with alot of minutes or unlimited

and a wireless broadband

All I want to know is the best combination reccomendations or packages if possible to get those two things. Sorry for not being more specific.

he means that no one has a good package deal on both internet and phone.

i've got a cingular 8525 with unlimited internet (PDA Connect Unlimited) and 2000 anytime minutes/month (comes with unlimited nights and weekends and mobile to mobile)

this + my txt messaging package + various other feathers like PTT comes to around $170 a month with my discount for being a state employee.

you also don't need a wireless card, i can tether my phone to my macbook via bluetooth and get online anywhere via my phone's 3g connection.

^^holy crap, $170/mo for a cell phone bill?

6/22/2007 6:14:10 PM

^^rofl, if for no other reason, bluetooth is more convenient. plus, it's no faster: the USB still creates a virtual serial port, so it's the same as bluetooth.

and i've used almost a gigabyte in a month, and they didn't say shit to me.
