I am probably going to get the N900. I am shackled to Sprint for the next 8 months or so, and can't afford to just add on another monthly charge, so I am going to use the N900 only when WiFi is available, mainly in my house.

But I would like to be able to make occasional phone calls from my N900, and not even carry my Centro with me.

So, basically I would like to use my N900 like a Tracfone or something similar.

What's the cheapest plan that would allow me to do that?

I'm in the US, in the Los Angeles area.

Sorry if this duplicates some discussion. I looked and didn't find.

If your not prepared to pay for internet, then dont buy an internet tablet?

I wouldn't even bother with a plan if your use is going to be that little. Buy a sim card from T-mobile for $7 and use pay as you go.

That's a VERY clever response. Are you suggesting that I throw out the N800 and N810 I already own?

ye or get a job

Ack, the vandals are among us! You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!

How do you know he doesn't have a job already? What if he can't find a job (or an additional job, or a better job?). Especially in CA where they're being hit hard by the recession right now.

People with jobs can afford £5/$10 a month for an internet plan.

As I said, I'm already paying Sprint a monthly fee. Does everyone have plenty of money to pay for several cell phone accounts at the same time?

Where do I find the $10 a month internet plan that doesn't involve switching to another carrier while I have to continue paying for the one I'm on now?
