I read something and it made me curious.

If I get a PDA/Phone and then buy a PC card off of Ebay is it possible to
swap the Sim card between the PDA Phone & PC Card to get double duty from
it?

I wouldn't mind paying $45 a month for the PDA Data plan, but another $80
for the Laptop plan is just too much.

Is this possible?

Thanks 8-)

Here is what I have seen. A sim for a PC card with data package used
in a PDA phone without changing or adding any other data package.
Also the PC card SIM put into a Motorola V551 phone, data cable and
the V551 became a cellular modem. I believe that Cingular data
packages (whichever is cheapest) can switch between devices. Check
with customer service before changing plans and of course they will
push you toward the more expensive.

Yes, you can do this. You can also just connect your phone and your
laptop so that the phone functions as a modem.
