I am looking at this Straight Talk and it may very well be the answer, but only if you can get 3G speeds, which means hooking up to EV-DO, rather than CDMA, which is too slow. The phone which might do it is the Finesse R810C.
Now I am confused, because I have read that Straight Talk does not allow tethering, except to swap files between cellphone and laptop.
My business is internet based travel. I take care of the back end part of the operation, web development, database integration, systems admin etc..
