in our plan, i can add the wireless network connectivity to my plan for $25 a month for unlimited use. it picks up the signal off the cell phone towers, however, it is nowhere near as fast as cable, DSL, or satellite. your laptop has to have the wireless network card, which most newer ones already have them installed. if not, you can purchase one at any computer store or even walmart, etc. you plug your phone into the laptop/computer via USB and it uses your phone's modem to dial out and into their system. in my plan, it does not take away from my mobile minutes, but you can't receive calls if using your phone. they all go straight to voice mail on mine. you also have to purchase the initial setup/software which i think ran about $80.

I live in a very rural area--no cable and no high speed where I live. I had used dialup for the longest time but now use my cellphone for high speed. I do not technically have the "highest" speed because it is dependent on the signal you are getting on your phone. If I had better signal where I live I would have an even higher speed than I do now. It has worked very well so far and I am happy with it. The software was $60 which includes the disk for setup and two types of cables. I have an older phone so I am not able to use the cable that has a slot for an antenna to be connected.
Anone MTers use wireless connection for MT work such as Alltel sm
