[QUOTE="october, post: 96237"] I work for a cellphone company, and actually I was looking at buying a powerbook or a ibook and was checking to see if using a bluetooth phone with the pb would work for internet. Since I get unlimited internet usage for free, this is always a plus. Most providers (att, cingular, t-mobile) use GPRS, or EDGE. But they will charge you the same for both. You are charged the same wether its used through bluetooth or usb. I know at my work they charge 3c per kb, or 1c per kb if you have a package (7.99 for 1mb) I believe Verison and possible Sprint use just wifi, and I have heard people abusing sprint by paying just the 10 or 20 dollars for unlimited internet usage.
