Well, for Cingular which Kevin is talking about below, it might, depending on what was set up on your account by Cingular when you enabled your service with them. For, in my case if memory serves, at least some of the data/internet things were set up on a pay per use plan. But, as those can get really costly, you might not want to use that type of a setup very often. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 7:00 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Series 60 as a modem
