His phone reported an "EDGE" connection and successfully, albeit > SLOWLY, displayed web pages. You are using your pre-paid SIM in this phone correct? Was it an older feature-phone type device? If so, then I suspect the phone is using the WAP browser, not a regular internet connection. That is what WAP gateway is for, to convert regular HTML web pages into an 'optimized' binary format on slow (think 10 years ago) networks. > > So this suggests to me that the SIM can do IP and not just WAP.

Unfortunately US carriers don't really understand that it is useful to have actual data allowances on prepaid plans ;) Regards, -Denis _______________________________________________ ofono mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono
