Minstrel S

I have a question about the Minstrel S. Does it have to use someones wireless service to work? Does it have any use with local internet access like my own dial-up? HandanGo.com has them for $49.00. I would get it if I can use it to dial up to my current ISP and access my mail that way.

Thanks.

Yes, as with any wireless device, you need service through a provider that supports the Minstrel.
