[Cialug] low speed cellphone data plan

[Nathan C. Smith]

You can get a data-capable phone from boost-mobile and get low speed internet on it.  I'm not sure which phones support it any more so Google is your friend.

I had GPRS (pron: Jeepers) on my T-Mobile Treo 600 a few years ago. It 
wasn't really very cheap, but it certainly was low-speed. I don't know 
if any of the US GSM carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T), still offer GPRS.
