#7912, "I finally figured out how to stick it to Cingular"
Back in August I picked up a Blue Angel (PDA/phone) and I was reading around that it was possible to use it for internet access via USB. Last year I tried to figure it out but the drivers were messed up or something so I gave up.
Last night I decided to give it another try and I got it to work! It's slow as all hell, like 60kbts with a really bad ping of 600-800 average, but it's GPRS so what do you expect... At least now I am able to stick it to them and make use of my unlimited GPRS data plan.
Anyone else using their cell phone for internet access?

oh oh. Can you send me the WAP/ GPRS settings you got to work. I can't get any to work on my Moto E680I (running Linux) and of course cingular gives me the run around- "blah blah that phone is not supported."

With Motorola Phone Tools silly
I can plug the phone into the laptop via bluetooth (or usb) and use phone tools to connect with the razr's modem. I forget what I connected at....like 11Kbps or something but it loaded 2gnt and I was browsing around no problem
I only use it when I can't steal someone elses connection though

Yup, I use Cingular too and have unlimited GPRS usage as well. I use a SE P910. Great for surfing on the go, can also connect to a pc/laptop thru bluetooth/usb. I was surfing at speeds around 115kbps when I connected my phone to the laptop. The settings ^^^ up there seem to be correct AFAIK.

Most of the Cingular reps that you speak to are brain dead. I hated working there. Check www.howardforums.com and see if someone else has already done it. Otherwise, I can send you all the phone setup info you need. I still have a few contacts that work for Cingular that have a pulse.

Thanks. I am a regular over at howardforums as well as at motorolafans.com and motomodders.net
I might pm you a screen shot and see if you can help me figure out what info i need to plug in to the phone to get SMS messages working as well as the internet settings working. Thanks.
