One option you may want to consider is to get an AMPS account in a
different locale. You can get really cheap rates in metropolitan areas
with lower costs-of-living. I pay 90c per minute (or something equally
outrageous) during peak times here in SF. A friend of mine from
Nashville pays 35c (or something) in ROAMING charges when he's here. If
you could get a similar deal and keep usage down to 30 mins a day (or
only hookup at night, which might be cheaper still), AMPS might be
livably inexpensive.
