Wireless Data

I know the question of how to use your phone as a modem for your PDA has come up several times, but I still can't make it happen. Between searching the internet or talking to Cingular or Dell, I've spent hours upon hours and still can't come up with a solution. Everyone says it should work, but nobody knows how. Dell says the PDA is fine, its Cingular. And Cingular Data support says its a voice issue (because it involves dialing a phone number) and Cingular Voice says its a data issue (because it does involve data transfer). I couldn't even get a clear answer on whether or not I would be charged by air time minutes or by data volume. I have a Dell Axim X30 and have tried connecting it to my Nokia 6230 and Motorola v3 razr. The PDA wil...

I need to know how to use voice command for the bluetooth and also how do i use the speakerphone. Both of these requests are for the sgh-d500. Thanks

I have a nokia 6230 and use it with my G4 powerbook and lately I have noticed increase in speeds while at home. I have Cingular in Tennessee and Tonight I have have had the highest d/l speed I have ever experienced with my phone of almost 200kps at a sustained rate. I used to get about 80-120 throughtout the summer then the I could not use for about a month due to "repairs on the system" according to the CS, then the speed went up to about an average of 120kps when I was able to connect to the internet again at home. Why is this? Is Cingular updating towers for more EDGE speed or does the impending overlay for HSDPA and WCDMA have somehting to do with this? Also I know the 6230 is class 10 EDGE for up to 8 slots, what phone for America ...

I hadn't for a few weeks used PC Suite 6.6 but when I went to use it today I could not get it to work for the life of me. What is the passcode?? 0000? or shouldnt I need that if I already paired it with my computer even if I unpaired it.

Anyway, I am unable to pair, so I looked to reinstall PC Suite, saw 6.7 and it went on, but does not work. When I connect, which I can do now, I either get a big box with an error, or when I click explore under the phone browser, nothing opens, or if I hit file manager, it says no supported phone attached. FUNNY. This is my phone that had worked. Could it be because I had swapped 6600 phone with a friend of mine and kept his battery? I did not think that batter...

Hey all,

Currently I am using the Treo 650 from Verizion Wireless. I found myself recently using the custom features of the T650 less and less. As it so happens, I have a chance to pick up a LG VX-9800 for cheap (not dirt cheap, but cheapER). So I have a few questions:

1) Can the LG VX-9800 sync with my Mac's contacts in anyway?
2) Can I access multiple pop3 email accounts with this unit?
3) What is web surfing like on this unit?
4) What is signal strength like on this unit?
5) IM software? Free or download?

Overall, those of you who have this unit, do you like it? Was it worth it? If you're a Mac user, can you sync it easily?

Thanks,

I have a LG 6100, my brother has a LG 6000. When we use a Cell Phone-USB Cable to hook up to our laptops, the internet speed is very very SLOW. The connection speed shows as 115 kbps but the actual speed is much much slower than my 56K dial up Desktop!!!!
Does anyone know why my actual speed is so slow AND what can I do to increase the speed. I believe that a cell hook-up should be FAST!!!!!
PLEASE reply w/ advice / info.
Thanks.

If I use a Mini SD WiFi reciever card in an LG vx9800.......will it work for internet browsing or does it have to be with a windows mobile phone?

I see they have deals on these three currently:
Sprint PCS Connection Card™ (PC-5740), Sprint PCS Connection Card™ by Novatel Wireless™ (Merlin S620™), and Sprint PCS Connection Card™ by Sierra Wireless™ (AirCard® 580).

Thanks.

I used to surf the web with my old v60 motorola and my laptop with Verizon. Can you do the same thing with the VX9800 with a laptop and Verizon as well? There must be a way! HELP.

Cingular launches 3G in 16 US cities

Cingular Wireless, the largest US mobile carrier, launched its 3G network in 16 cities on Tuesday, becoming the first mobile network operator in the world to deploy a 3G network based on HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology.

After some initial confusion over what data cards they were REALLY offering (the website showing the Novatel U730 available last week...then suddenly withdrawn this week without explanation) I called a local Chicago Cingular store, and they said that they had Ai...

Has anyone had any luck getting -consistant- speeds of 900kbps-1.2mbps by means of optimization tools?

With T-Mobile Internet and a Sony Ericsson GC83, I have been connecting successfully at EDGE speeds (avg 100+ kbps) in Chicago for months now. This past week was the first time I tried it in a non T-Mobile area.

I was in an eastern Ohio area which does not have a native T-Mo network, so I was roaming on Cingular. Voice connection (and T-Mo Web) worked fine on my cell phone. But when trying to connect to T-Mobile Internet with my data card, the Cingular network was not allowing a connection, even though T-Mo has roaming agreements with Cingular for data as well as voice.

After a call to T-Mo tech support, and a conversation with an engineer, I was told that the T-Mo engineers would have to contact the Cingular engineers to sort out netw...

Carrier prepping 18 markets for Nov. 1 launch

By Dan Meyer
Oct 14, 2005

Cingular Wireless L.L.C. appears set to make good on its claims to launch high-speed UMTS/HSDPA services in more than a dozen markets by the end of the year. The carrier released initial UMTS/HSDPA launch plans on an internal Web site that shows the carrier preparing to cover 18 markets with the high-speed network beginning Nov. 1. The markets covered in the initial launch plans include Dallas, Houston and Austin, Texas; Chicago; Detroit; Baltimore; Boston; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; Las Vegas; Phoenix; Portland, Ore.; Salt Lake City; San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif.; and Seattle and Tacoma, Wash.

This will probably turn out to be more of a tease, but...

I just called Cingular to ask when the HSDPA broadband data service would be available in Chicago. After being switched from the sales rep (who knew nothing about it) to a customer service rep (who had to spend 10 mins researching), I was told that HSDPA will be available in Chicago beginning THIS FRIDAY, Nov. 18!!

I then asked if the local stores would actually be able to sign people up for that service by then, and was told "Yes".

My guess is that, if you walked into a store this Friday, even if you were able to find a salesperson who knew how to register you for that service, you would probably not be able to buy an HSDPA enabled data card there.

If you already ...

My carrier, Verizon, tells me I absolutely CAN, simply by using the USB cable connector (Nokia 6015i), but when I talk to Brother (the fax machine I'm looking at purchasing is a Brother) they say their machine will not work with a cell phone because it requires an analog signal. Verizon says as long as fax machine has a USB port (which it does) it should be able to talk to the phone fine. Before I blow $200 on the fax machine (model 2820), does anyone know for sure if it will work??

I just want to be able to dial long distance fax numbers through my cell, since my cell gets free LD.

Thank you for any help!!

I was just wondering what bluetooth headset was everyones favorite and why?

I'm looking into buying a bluetooth car kit to use with my pm-325.

Does anyone know if the call ID features work with the car kits. The Parrot CK3100 will display the Caller ID if the phone allows and the motorola IHF100 will announce the caller ID if the phone allows. Does any one have any experience with the PM-325 and either of these car kits?

After reading a post about a couple who got major sticker shock from a T-Mobile bill for roaming internet while on vacation, I double checked the T-Mo website. Here is what I found.

Roaming outside of T-Mobile's markets:

If you use t-zones and T-Mobile Internet service outside of the T-Mobile network, roaming charges of $10.00 per megabyte will apply.

$10.00 per megabyte!!

Even at EDGE speeds, it is pretty easy to rack up 10 megabytes in a 1 hour internet session. So if I happened to be roaming on a Cingular network, for example, presumably I would be charged $100 for that 1 hour session!!!

Can anyone confirm this from personal experience?

Sounds like T-Mo Internet goes from being a relative barg...

Hey, We're creating a new system to remote send photos using Blue tooth between laptop/pda and phone for dailing. we were offered Nextel's i605 or Sprint pm325.

Which one is going to tranfer data faster? Is any one using either to send large emails, or other data?
