Hi Vicky and Don,
Ah yes, I was wondering about that. I guess I'd better go shopping for a
data plan. I'd like one that offers unlimited access and a decent speed at
a reasonable price, if such a plan exists. I'd rather not have to worry
about connect time, even though it's not likely that I'll spend hours and
hours browsing and such.
What connection speeds are offered? Is there a high-speed offering, one
that approaches DSL speed?
Where can I read about data plans on the Cingular web site? Would I get a
better deal through letstalk.com? Just curious.
BTW, it made no difference whether I had activeStink set to bluetooth or
not; I got the same failure to connect.
Tom

Hi Tom,
Maybe you're not doing anything wrong. For, when I tried using my SBC
dial-up number with my cell phone and BN and Cingular service awhile back,
I
wasn't able to use my phone that way--well, at least not until I got a
data
plan. Best I can tell, when I got the data plan, they added CSD and data
connect to my account, then I could use the phone as a modem both with my
SBC dial-up number, as well as with the GPRS data plan. The dial-up
number,
when used, went against my cell phone air time minutes, while using the
settings and dialing string for the GPRS went against my data plan usage.

Subject: [Braillenote] Still Can't Connect
Hi,
I followed the procedure to set up an Internet connection, using my BN
MPower with my Nokia 6682 as a modem. I can pair the BN and the 6682 and
as
far as I know, I have all the parameters for the dialup connection set up
properly. When I attempt to connect, the 6682 asks me to accept the
connection with the BN, to which I reply yes. The BN says "dialing", and
then I hear a series of beep tones repeated three times. This series of
tones is exactly like what you'd hear if you dialed a disconnected number.
The BN then says "no carrier".
I don't have a Cingular data plan just yet, so until then I want to do an
ordinary dialup connection using an SBC access point that's known to
work.
I tried it with the BN and its internal modem and logged on successfully.
This one's got me puzzled. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Tom
