1. This is very expensive. Verizon, Cingular and Sprint offer these PC cards. They will cost $50 with a 2-year agreement. If you want to do it without a contract, then it will be $200 for the PC Card. As for the plans, for unlimited data, it is about $80 - $100. I don't think the limited data is worth it, unless you do not plan to use it much. In addition, recently in press release, Cingular is getting UMTS (3.5G technology) set-up by January 2007. You will be able to get 3.5Mbps speed from GTOption's PC Card.
2. i had sprint service before. make sure you have simple web capabilities on your phone. go to ebay and purchase a usb data cable that fits your phone. they usually also have the software to download the drivers and software to your computer. connect the phone and change the settings on your computer to use the new modem (your cell phone) and the software should do the rest.
