I know this isn't even close to what you're looking for, but I figured
I'd pipe up anyway.  I occasionally tether my phone using bluetooth
using t-mobile's $5.99 "t-mobile web" package.  It allows pop, imap, and
smtp.  Everything else is blocked except for their http proxy.

I don't use it very heavily, but it works in a pinch and they haven't
yelled at me yet.  I imagine I am violating the TOS, but I don't think
I've actually read them :p.
