I have Cingular's $3.99/mo data plan, with Motorola V180 and V400 phones. Got Susteen Data Pilot USB cables (1 for each phone) and software from Susteen.com. I have a Toshiba laptop, XP Home. Just got it going. Works OK through Compuserve, my ISP. Susteen's tech people talked me through setup. I'm using it just to test, until I see how much it's going to cost.
It's gonna cost a whole lot !!!
If you're using GPRS at 2 cents per page, this page alone at approx 50k just cost you a dollar to load one time (and there really aren't even any graphics on this page). I suppose if your using CSD you are only using minutes, but you may want to verify your phone setup to be sure.
If you're gonna use your computer you almost have to go to the unlimited plan. Otherwise it will cost you a small fortune. I've heard horror stories with people getting bills in excess of 2000 dollars.
Be careful...
