Do any of the prepaid phone services in the US and Canada offer the possibility of pairing an N770 with one of their phones for occasional Internet access?

Basically, I want to be able to pick up email while traveling but I don't want a full service plan as I only need to do this occasionally.

Thx.

Don.

If it is for infrequent use, perhaps it would be easier to get a phone that does e-mail itself...

It's so easy to find a hotspot, even if it costs you a cup of coffee...

I have connected to my ISP using a Prepaid Wireless phone as data call . It is it works good just that it is very slow . 14.4 it's like being in 1981 on a bbs .

But it aleast works .

I have callplus wireless prepaid it works off verizon network and works with any verizon phone . better prices than verizon prepaid as verizon will hit you with a day fee for each day you use the phone . Not the case with this service and you are still on verizon even if you call 611 it is verzion and a verizon nimber . http://ecallplus.com/cellular/locus-cdma.html


I have also tried to use 1x network but it I just can't seem to get it to connect . I will have to do more testing on that with this prepaid service .

I am useing my roadrunner backup dialup account for my isp.

The phone is an ebay deal i got for $4.99 A V710 this phone works great at DUN is already turned out of the box.

Hope this helps others that may have prepaid servies and just needs to check the email real fast or lookup something.

especially if you're travelling on trains, they tend to have free wireless access!
