Thanks Ted and other posters.

This sounds promising but it would be good to know if the same data
plan can be used for both.

I'm planning on pre-ordering the Galaxy S for availability later this
Fall, but I want to grab the 6G/$30 plan before its unavailable after
Thursday.  So my idea is to get the plan on my Rogers cell phone
account, buy a CS-18 off the Internet somewhere, and use the stick
with the plan until I get the Galaxy.
