Does anyone have this? I'm looking for unlimited minutes for cheap. Pls review whatever service you have though, even if it's by the minute.

Cingular's plan is around 80$/month for unlimited data (voice plan sold separately.) Alternately you can buy a treo or other i-net enabled phone from sprint, and get unlimited Vision (their data network)+a voice plan for about half the price. If you go the latter route you'll have to spring for a cable and some software that let's you use the phone as a modem for your laptop. Bottom line: Cingular is slicker, Sprint is cheaper.

TMobile has it too. I think it's about the same price as Cingular.

Last I heard TMobile execs publicly said that they do not plan to increase the speed of their networks for another year or two, making them the worst possible choice for cell-based internet.
