From my understanding is yes, but i would double check on the cost of the pay per use for internet access. here is the info posted on Cingular:

MEdia Net Pay-Per-Use $0.00 per month 0 MB $0.01 per KB

Edit, these prices seem to cover teh regular phones, but since the Treo is a PDA it might not be available to be used on medianet. My guess is yes, but I would double check on htis with one of teh Cingular stores or by calling there ccustomer service department

Those are the correct prices. For the PAYG it is $0.01 per KB you can add the MEdia Net Packages to the PYP. You will have to sign up with a regular phone, but once that is done you can switch the SIM to the Treo and change the settings.
