Not any longer. It seems that the only game in town
(go-america) no longer supports the All Points card on
the Newt. I used one for years with Wynd and DTS, but
now that Go America has purchased both of them, there
is nothing that works with the Newt. And even if it
did, you would go broke using it! Go-America charges a
minimum of $0.10/kb (on the unlimited plan) and up to
$0.56/kb on a pay as you go! And this doesn't even
include the monthly! (Imagine paying $560 for a 1mb
file!)
The only thing I have seen that works is connection
through your Cell phone or the Ricochette network (as
long as you are in one of the three places on the
planet earth that has coverage)
Sorry to sound so negative, but this issue was hashed
out here quite throughly a few months back and it
seems that all Newt wireless avenues have disappeared!
Sorry.
