Which handset for my laptop?

I am working in a rural area at the moment and will be for the next year which has no phone line (and is no option), and I have recently purchased a laptop. I am hoping to try and hook my laptop up with a handset that will allow me to access the net.

I am wanting to know what handsets will allow me to do this and is there an ISP for that mobile I can use to access the internet on a cheap rate or even better a pay-monthly subscription dial-up 0800.

I'm aware most ISP's for mobiles call 0845 or 0870 numbers which are charged at normally 10p/40p per min. If anyone has any idea's to help me hook up to the net I would be very much appreciated. As no doubt I would be hooked up for long periods and obviously at 10p per min would be very expensive never mind 40p per min.

Thanks in advance for any replies!
 
Use a Nokia 7250i via GPRS with my laptop. Pretty fast, a doddle to set up and cost effective on the Orange access pack I use. Any GPRS capable phone should do the trick, although I'm having huge problems trying to coax O2 into activating GPRS on my bosses phone. They seem to be unable to turn GPRS on without breaking MMS and vice-versa? :shrug:

It's tied into an access pack that includes MMS, so I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll have a look on the bill when I get home
 
GPRS can be expensive. I suggest you have a look at vodafones 3G card or if you want a phone then get a nokia 7600 or 6600 becuase they both have bluetooth.
