I also use T mobiles gprs, and it s great for the price, but painfully
slow. Attachments of 1 or 2 megs take long periods of time to download.
I have also noticed, for whatever reason, when the reception indicators
is at 3 bars, vs 5 bars, it is faster! who knows why. IN southern
california its 29.99 for unlimited use. Good price for emergency needs.
