We use Squareup and love it.

I purchased an LG Ally android phone from eBay for $150. I made sure it had
a clean ESN (check via kittywireless.com or other Verizon reseller). I then
signed up at pagepluscellular.com for a new number on the $29.95 a month
plan.
This plan gives me 1200 minutes a month, 1200 texts and 50MB of data. I
setup with square and it worked great. The Squareup transactions took about
66 KB. I could run over 700 Squareup transactions with 50MB/month.

Since we go to 2 markets in the summer, I then bought another LG Ally from
eBay. (love this phone :-) My wife has a pay as you go plan on Page Plus.
Data is not included on her plan, its $0.0012/KB. We setup her phone to use
the same Squareup account and requested another reader from Squareup (They
are free, and they shipped another quickly).

We then ran some test transactions using her phone, and paying for the data
straight out. It cost about 8 cents per Squareup transaction. We thought
we would have to move her phone to a $29.95/month plan for the data, but at
8 cents, there's no need to.

We're VERY happy with this arrangement.

>Desperately trying to step into the new century as the very last person
in the world without a cell phone and dial-up internet.
Some of you mentioned you are using Square up to be able to accept credit
cards at market with your cell phones. What cell phones are you using for
this? What service provider/plan are you using that is not prohibitively
expensive. Are any of you using mobile broadband for your internet
access? Are the limitations on usage reasonable?
Many thanks Sora at Paradise Valley Organics N.Id
