Access Gmail from Tracfone?

[billhansen]

Yeah, I know - "Tracfone" labels me as an old guy. So be it.

I've switched from my very expensive Verizon "smart" phone, back to a
Tracfone, which of course uses a different cell network. The Tracfone
will do most of what the Verizon phone would do, aside from the GPS
related things. The one thing I miss is that while I can surf the web
with Tracfone, I can't access Gmail or my Google calendar with it. I
notice that AOL mail, Yahoo mail, and Hotmail are all easy to reach
from the Tracfone system. (Google itself, as a search engine, comes up
just fine.)

Does anyone know of a work-around to make my Gmail available through
the Tracfone network - short of routing all my Gmail through IMAP and
Roadrunner?
