I am able to get this:

500 mb data-only plan for $20. Good deal?

 

[Costa]

Not at all; call back and argue until they offer something reasonable, like 20 dollars for 5 gb maybe.

 

[JugglingReferee]

What is the cheapest data-only plan available?

 

[Costa]

Sorry, i think i misunderstood.

You're looking for a data only, with no voice? Than $20 might be reasonable for a basic plan, but it's still not a good deal. You could probably get a plan with voice for that much.

I've asked through different venues: the cheapest with both is $45. I don't want to spend $25 a month to make maybe 5 minutes of cell call.

And I've asked the Robellus three.

20 dollars for 5 gb maybe.

5GB would be at least $30, even on a fantastic promo or retentions offer.

For a data only, non-promotional plan from the big 3, $20 for 500 mb is reasonable.

Agreed with TorontoColin.

While the carriers did offer 6GB of data for $30 a few months ago, that was mostly due to the launch of the iPhone 4 (and in previous years, Rogers did so with the iPhone 3G & 3GS launches as well). I doubt we'll see these plans again until the next version of the iPhone.

Guys, please keep in mind that the OP is looking for data only plans, meaning the kind you use in a rocketstick with a laptop. Data add-ons to voice plans are not relevant here.

I have removed off topic and misleading posts that don't deal with the OP's question.

$20 is good, i got offered $30 for the flex data plan when i inquired about the dell streak with just the data (no voice).
