Doubtful, because the current Speakout phones are rather crippled. I am currently using an AirCard 775, which works well. $20 on ebay. I am looking around for a USB version now.

If you pay for a data plan, $7 teaser, then eventually $10, you can then do "unlimited" browsing, It is not real Internet though, just browsing through a proxy server. Probably needed, because the pipe is a bit slow, and the proxy optimizes the data, such as re-compressing images to smaller sizes on the fly.

With the AirCard 775, you could also use the speakout sim as a data modem, and pay by the minute. It is pretty slow though, about 1/3 the speed of a 56k modem. You pay by the minute, like you do with voice calls. You do not need to pay for a data plan, but you probably have to pay a dialup ISP, so you are really no further ahead.

Is it possible and practical to connect a notebook or laptop to the internet using a speakout phone. Can one simply run a cable between the devices?

Will the charges be the same as placing a voice call or is the data transfer up and down free?
thank you
