Hi Cindy, KC, and List, As you may know, I have been struggling with the same problem, getting my cell phone to connect and communicate with my BN via bluetooth. This may not help you if you have no GPRS service, but it's worth a try. My cell phone provider is Cingular. In the phone number field in the connection configuration for the cell phone, I typed
*99# This is the only way in which I have been able to get the BN to dial and connect with the cell phone. Let me know how this works.

I have a different ISP but it is dialup also and I could never get it to work.
