Question Connect to the internet w/o cell phone as modem

Hi!
I was wondering if there is another way to connect my Axim X50V to the internet without having to use my cell phone as the modem. I usually use the cell as a modem when I'm out where there is no wireless service, but my cell phone can get out and works as a modem.

I guess I'm tired of paying T-mobile 20.00 a month for a service that I use only once in a while. However, I can't drop it cause they have discontinued the service but grandfathered me in.

Also if its not possible to do it with a PDA can it be done with a laptop?

Thanks for any help.

You may not have to necessarily drop the t-mobile internet service...

If you do a little bit of research (aka google), people have found ways to use the $5.99 to access full internet for their pda/laptop.

P.s. - dont bother calling tmobile about how to use the $5.99 plan for internet. As far as they are concerned...this method is "unknown" to them. They just force you to buy the full internet plans which are now like $30.

Thank you, I will definately do some digging. When I called Tmobile they did have the same response about the $5.99 plan as you said.

I'm wondering how or what I should try my search with?

Thx

It is possible to get a CF gprs wireless card, that you can insert a SIM card into and use your data plen with, it is pretty hard to avoid an ISP if it is even Gprs, there are many suppliers that let you use dial up without a plan, and the price is phenomenal

So it seems as tho in order for me to access the web with my pda in areas where there are no wifi, then I still need to go thru my cell phone as a modem?

I too use my Cingular Motorola Razr modem for internet access with my x50v when wifi is not available for $17.99 per month. It is a cheap price for me considering I am on the web browsing approximately 5-8 hrs daily.
