Twenty bucks??....heck....you'd be lucky to find a full data plan for under $30. Also, to answer your question, no, there isn't anybody out there currently who provides what your looking for for the price you are willing to pay....sorry.

dude everyone charges at least 20 bucks for data plan

For years now I've wanted a bluetooth phone if it can do one simple thing for me. I want to be able to use it as in internet access point, just like the router in my home. I want to pull out my laptop or my PDA and have it "just work," an internet connection I can use to do whatever I want to.

I don't really want to surf the web on the phone itself. I don't want to walk around with a headset permanently stuck on my ear or have it talk to my car. I just want to be able to transfer modest amounts of data through it.

I also don't want to be able to do this all that often, so I don't want to pay for a full-fledged data plan, but I could tolerate $5-10 per month.

Does any US carrier offer a phone/plan combo that lets me do this? This is always what I thought the attraction of bluetooth was, but from my reading this seems either really hard or impossible.

Thanks!
