Talk to Verizon, they have the most advanced network. But the modules 
allowed are limited.
Google "cellphone modems" and ask the one you like if he works with 
Verizon. 18 months
ago the lease rate ran about $100/mo. Can drop data right into an email 
account or FTP account.

Warning: the neatest, least expensive modems are not quite compatible 
with US / CA cellphone
networks, and are allowed only on an "experimental" basis.
