Question Least Inexpensive Internet Access

I'm looking for information on the least inexpensive way of getting internet access for my Dell Axim X5 400 mhz handheld.

I do have a wi-fi card, but I want the ability to access internet when I am unable to find a wifi hotspot.

Thx guys..

Least inexpensive or least expensive? By all means Starbucks would be the least inexpensive, at $6.00 per day or $30.00 per month.

Seriously, I would guess that something like Juno would be about as cheap as you'll find

If you are in a town without a starbucks, you might be in trouble with WiFi. ;) Try your local coffee shops and bars. They usually have something.

I bought the wi-fi card because I have an access point here at work, and also I will be getting one for at home so I can relax wherever I am in the house.

So, any ideas on the other equipment/service?

The only problem with things like that is that they arent inexpensive, heh.

I think I might invest in a CF Digital Phonecard and use it with my Motorola V60 and use my t-mobile minutes when I really need internet on the go, but for now I'm content with my Wifi on the couch, because here in NM there is wifi like nowhere. :D

Very expensive, but I tested a friends out a couple weeks ago. Pretty slick. If you want access everywhere, its the only way to go....
