Pre-Paid Cell Phone (w/ internet?)

[bvassmer]

So, I have gotten rid of my cell phone as of a few months ago, and I do not want to sign another contract to just have a phone/internet for the chase season. Does anyone know if any of the pre-paid services will let you tether your phone and use your minutes for internet data? Just seems like for the times I get to chase, and the few times I need data and don't have a wifi nearby, this would be a cheap option.

Thanks!

You can go with Cingular and do not have to sighn a contract. Just bring your own phone ! You may not get M2M mins depending on the rep you talk with .

i use boost mobile (nextel prepaid) they have a variety of plans. and you can add unlimited text and web. im not sure about the internet connections for these phones but the higher model ones may work. on web its www.boostmobile.com

The coverage for the Cingular Prepaid service isnt very good:

Ive looked at T-mobile as there prepaid service has a good coverage range, but from what I have read you arnt able to access all webpages etc.

Any other ideas??
