i dropped by metro pcs the other day.
i was intrigued by a sign that said: "unlimited talk and text-- $25 per month".. i went inside and one of the very, very young sales girls showed me a 4g phone metro has on sale until december 31st for $79.
they also have a 4g plan for unlimited talk, text and date for $30 per month, if you walk into one of their stores.
Data is data. Anytime you access the internet on your phone it's going to use your quota. Web browsing isn't terrible but any sort of media, including youtube and video chatting will suck that down.
You really need to decide if you want to really 'get off the internet' or not. You say you do but you keep asking about what stuff will really hit your quota. Just get a cheap DSL or cable connection and use the internet like a normal human being.

I did see T-Mobile had a pretty decent deal on unlimited text/web w/1000 minutes for 30 a month. That's a pretty good deal and it has a 5GB cap. You could also score DSL or cable for 30-40 a month if you get a good promo or deal. That's like 70 a month which is extremely reasonable all around.

Yup. With all mobile carriers you have either a quota. For example, with AT&T you might have, say, a 4GB quota. When you hit that, you'll get INSANE overage charges. Carriers like Sprint and T-Mobile will throttle your internet speeds when you hit a cap. For example, with T-Mobile 4G plans, when you hit a cap which can be anywhere from 100MB to 5GB, you get throttled down to 2G speeds. That's pretty slow and worthless for even web browsing.
What I'm trying to say is that using your cell for your primary internet access isn't a good idea if you plan on using it for any sort of media (Netflix, Pandora, etc)

I'm looking at these T-Mobile plans, and while cheap, they have super low caps. The highest cap is 5GB. That's not really a lot. You're talking a few movies on Netflix.

Yeah you can use a phone normally while the hotspot thing is on. Like I said though, if that's going to be your primary internet connection, you will burn through any cap quick, or if you're on an unlimited, get throttled easily.
Also I looked up that magic jack thing, and you still need a regular broadband internet connection,as the magic jack plugs into your router.
People ask me about these sort of setups all the time (tethering only), and for long term use, it's just a bad idea. If you want to save money, ditch your landline, ditch cable, go prepaid. Just use the cheapest DSL or cable internet available to you.

MetroPCS is CDMA based, so if your Sprint service was bad, you have a 99% chance of the same thing with Metro PCS. The data might be unlimited but they'll throttle. The data speeds may also be garbage so even if you used a phone as a hotspot, it would most likely be too slow for streaming stuff (plus you'll get throttled pretty quickly). You also mentioned magic jack. You'd have to have a PC with an internet connection for that to work anyway, so that's not really helping.
If you want a contract free thing, try T-Mobile. They have pretty good pricing assuming you get coverage where you live. They have a pretty small 4G footprint, but that's changing as they are changing over to the same frequencies AT&T uses.
I know you're trying to save money and somehow cut down on your internet usage, but in this case you can't have your cake and eat it too.
