As long you surf mobile optimised sites the cost is cheap - out of bundle - 1mb for the cost of 3 sms's - in bundle much cheaper. The samsung B130 only costs about $30 (R269) (including starter pack) - that appears to have GPRS and a WAP browser A Nokia 1680 costs about $60 (R598)(including starter pack) - that has a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser.
