I would be interested in this as well.

Let me get this right you buy a phone + prepayed sim card and you have internet correct? Then you just keep puting cheap phone cards on it to keep it activated correct?

If so info me.

Yeah, that's right.

What I would do is just buy the $100 card just right off the bat, it gets you to Gold Rewards status, and doesn't run out for 365 days. After that year, just add $10 card to it and you should be fine for another year.

Peace,

Rafster

Alright, I have been following you guys the last couple of days, and am not quite sure how all of this works. For every prepaid minute you buy, you can use the #99 trick to use those minutes on the internet? I saw the post a little while back about getting a tmobile phone to connect as a modem, and was hoping to use this to connect my carpc to the internet wherever there is tmobile service.

As far as I know, this does not use your included minute. It uses GPRS time, which I guess is free because I don't see anything where it says that they carge you.

Plus, they don't have an address or anything to send you a bill.

I need to know a cheap phone that this would work for. Could any one recomend one? Also has any one done a speed test at dsl reports or tost?

So the only thing that you really have to worry about is the minutes on the card expiring?

I think so

Yuriy · 08-23-2005, 05:47 AM

Holy fricken crapamoli, it works on prepaid!! Amazing

I still think my $5 a month is cheaper than $100 a year

But this way anyone without T-Mobile subscription can get this, awesome!

Yuriy · 08-23-2005, 05:50 AM

The title of this thread should now include keywords such as "prepaid, no subscription, free unlimited internet". Hell yeah!

hcker2000 · 08-23-2005, 07:25 AM

Ok people start listing cheap phones that this will work on and have usb or blue tooth

kameleon · 08-23-2005, 12:58 PM

yes please. I will be putting my carputer in here real soon but am trying to get everything working before I put it in the car.

dmurray14 · 08-23-2005, 01:18 PM

Score, so do I get some kind of idea award?

Figured it would work, just wasn't positive. Now I need to find a nice GPRS modem that isn't PC Card...

kameleon · 08-23-2005, 01:49 PM

What about this? http://cgi.ebay.com/AudioVox-RTM-800...QQcmdZViewItem

If I have a cf card reader on the carputer would that work?
