Sony Ericsson S710a
S710a, Modem via MMODE
All-
Just purchased the S710a; I am on the ATT GSM Side- I added the MMODE Unlimited Plan for 24.99/month. So far- I find it sucks: too slow and not sure if this is phone or gprs or both.
My question is this: can I use this phone and mmode plan as a modem? Or do I need to be on the Cingular side with an EDGE plan? The Cingular Rep told me I would have to switch to Cingular side with an EDGE plan.
What do you think? I am not so far impressed with GPRS/MMode.
Thanks

I too have a Sony Ericsson s710a from Cingular and my provider is AT&T. I was able to add GPRS using this link from Cingular. It will add the GPRS settings.
