For the past years cell phones have boomed, but i have adamantlty shuned them. I hate phones. I don't call people for fun, and dont talk for long. I see no need for them... untill now. I just bought a Clie UX50 PDA, and i need data services now. Heres my dilemma.

1.) I need unlimited data, or an insane ammount of data, per month
2.) I dont need any voice, if voice is required, ill only need the BARE minimum.
3.) Bluetooth phone included in the plan is preferable, but i will take a cheapo phone for now and buy a blue tooth phone later if needed.
4.) id like to only spend 40$ a month, or at the max 60$ a month
5.) 2 year contracts are ok.

Who will be able to meet these requirements? I live in Greenville, SC if that is any help. Thank you for your advice, as i am a total newb in this area.

I was going to suggest the sidekick you could get unlimited data only plan for 29.99$ but T-Mobile doesn't have any or poor coverage in your area.

That Cingular PDA plan sounds great! Is it something like they give you a BT phone and a data plan, and no voice? If so, thats almost PERFECT!

I ended up going with Sprint, and i got the LG 325 to use as a DUN modem basically. The guy said if i dialed to my ISP it would only use minutes? Is this true? If so, how do i do this

you cel phone will dial a number and connect to the server

to do it in that manner instead of plugging your modem into a wall jack you connect it to your cel...you will need a data cable...

be advised tho... a connection in this manner will be painfully slow due to line noise
