if you use GPRS to connect you don't need any ISP account as the
mobile phone provider does that bit for you.

that would be something to ask your SP or in uk.telecom.mobile and
it'll help if you say what mobile service you're on.

AFAIK Voda PAYG accounts have GPRS via vodafone live and I suspect
most have GPRS for multimedia messaging / WAP but I don't know which
do "real" internet access. Virign don't from what I've read.

http://www.mobileshop.org/usertech/gprssettings.htm gives some clues
