Wireless data plan for WM 6 Classic

I really need some help....

I just purchased a HP 210 IPAQ. I'm looking for a data plan to use with this
so that I can get internet and email when I travel.

As an alternative I have a LG VX8700 cell phone with Bluetooth capabilities.
I tried to pair the two and use my cell phone to access the internet on my
ipaq. No luck. When I pair, and try to access the internet I get a "page not
found" error. I have my wireless plan through Verizon who says that they
don't support using this phone as a modem.

I've asked several wireless data plan providers about a plan for my ipaq and
can't find one that says that they can support it.

I would appreciate any help that you can offer in finding a wireless
provider that will support my ipaq 210 and/or what I need to do to get to
the internet using my LG VX8700 cell phone.

I'm frustrated and really need your help.

Thank you so much
Edie

You do know that the 210 only has WiFi and BT right? No cellular data
capability. Your only option is to tether it to a data capable cell phone,
or get a Wife Hotspot plan/use free Hotspots. Yes, Verizon is a bit stingy
with their tethering. I thought they would permit it with some phones and
some plans. Are you willing to switch carriers? Both AT&TO and TO-Mobile
would provide such a service, but you would need a phone with a data plan
that supports tethering.

Okay, so you have a PDA (pda doesn't do voice) and a cell phone (that model
usually doesn't do data), but you also have no internet provider for
mail/news... You can browse the internet with the wifi, or do email AND
browse the internet via the BT/cell, however, if you want to save email, you
will most likely need a mail server somewhere (there used to be lots of free
mail sending services, but due to spammers, those are very hard to find
nowadays)...

What provider do you use for your cellphone?

Do you want to do it cheap/free or just make it work?

wireless yes and no I have a acer 3020 laptop with internal Broadcom 802.11g Network card, I believe I might have made a change somewhere to cause the light button on the front to go out, the icon under network connections shows a red cross over it, says also not connected.

New to wireless I've just gotten my Axim X51v how much more there is to wireless than I realized. In taking a quick look I see reference to b, g etc then there are several methods of connection where I had thought it was going to be wifi or bluetooth
