    Hi all,

    I have gotten my V180 phone connected/installed on my laptop thanks to all of the wonderful help here :) Thank you!

    Now...when I try to use it as a modem to dial into work it wont let me connect. The Mobile Phone Tools shows Transmission disabled, and Reception disabled when my phone is connected.

    I do not have GPRS data plan or anything like that from cingular (my carrier) - is that the issue?

    Is there anything I can do to just use the phone as a analog dialup modem? Will "unlocking" the phone do this for me?

    Thanks in advance for any help I can get!

    Lothlor

    Ok - Figured out what I needed to do and figured I should share it so it may help others:

    1 - The V180 does not support analog modem mode (to dial into what number you want) appearently
    2 - My plan does include "ad-hoc" internet access via GPRS (@ .04/KB I think) - your may be different...
    3 - The default dialup connection to cingular GPRS that gets setup by the Mobil Phone Tools is for something else (not sure what)
    4 - Finally, to connect via GPRS I had to use the following:
    Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
    Password: CINGULAR1

    Also - I got this info from here (and there are a lot of other connection settings in here as well): http://www.discusswireless.com/foru...orum_F51/Cingular_Carrier_Data_Settings_P838/

    Hope that all helps someone else!

    THanks,

    Lothlor
