If data costs that much, then any internet-based solution over the
cell phone netowrk is clearly going to be expensive. You might try
borrowing free wifi networks and doing VoIP/email over those. That
should be close to free (though you might need to buy a coffee at the
local shoppe). The combination of VoIP and WiFi might also drain
batteries fast. Not sure.
