GPRS Questions
I have a Laptop and a T-Mobile Motorola V600. I know I can use the V600 as a modem to call my Internet Service Provider (ISP) and only use up my air time but the speed is rather slow (about 10 kbps).
I've been told that to access T-Mobile GPRS network I have to dial *99#. Do I just use air time to use GPRS or do I have to sign up for some data plan? How fast is GPRS? Also, what carrier has the access code of *99***3#.
Thank you very much for any response.

I'm a Cingular guy myself but I'll try to favor an answer:
When you use GPRS you do not use airtime.
You need to have some sort of GPRS data package, not sure what T-Mo offers.
GPRS Speed is comparable to 56K modem (perhaps a tad slower)
Dialing *99****3# is not dialing a carrier, it's instructing the phone to connect to the carrier that is defined in your phone settings (how that works I've not figured out)
