Nope, grin, just tried again the way you and Sarah are doing it with no success. Now, I can do it the long way I described before, so I do have the access with just a bit more work before each data call. I have their five MB data connect plan, and the person from Cingular tech support went through the data connect and modem initialization string settings with me. I later also called back and purchased their two MB media net plan for using the internet/checking email from the phone itself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusty Perez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 12:22 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Internet on your cell phone with BN
I've had great success with the settings similar to what Sarah mentioned earlier. The user name and password don't seem to matter, but the number is *99# Nothing should go in the modem string section. You want to have the "log on to network" set to yes. You don't need to wait for a dial tone. Everything else should be ok.

For, to get mine to work at all, I spent many hours trying and several calls to Cingular tech support. But, even though I can get my phone to work with the BN now, I'm certainly not able to do it the simple way Sarah does, at least not to be able to use the GPRS. For, every time I want to use my phone that way with the BN, I have to go into the GPRS settings on the phone and tell it which access point to use. Maybe it has something to do with the configuration set up by Cingular, as well as the particular type of data plan purchased, I don't know. For, with the settings I have, I can get my PAC Mate to connect every time without having to enter that access point info into the phone, as the PAC Mate will accept the initialization string I'm entering. Then, too, with either the PM or BN, although I don't know that Cingular is offering this anymore, I can use the much slower connection that just takes my air time minutes without having to go into the phone and entering the access point info. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
