It depends on whether you subscribe to a data plan. Some US carriers,
like T-Mobile USA, allow dial-up connections that use voice minutes
instead of data kilobytes. These dial-up connections are limited to
9.6kbps. However, for someone who only occasionally connects to check e-
mail, it's good enugh, and essentially "free" if you have enough left
over voice minutes, or call using free night or weekend minutes.

I assumed this was the type of connection the OP meant. At least
partly because I don't use the other kind, and thus a bit biased in my
interpretation of questions. I would have interpreted the original
question differently if it had said something about high speed and/or
one of the acronyms for such connections and/or something about data
plan.

Thanks for the clarifications. Apparently I'm also a bit biased,
because I could have sworn that the OP had asked about GPRS, but
obviously he didn't.
