Re: But you don't want one

Re: But you don't want one

Ok, I see where your going, but I never am able to get 56K with my phone connected via USB. The best that I get is 9600 bps.

Re: But you don't want one

Because it all depends on your phone (modem speed) and connection. Maybe you have limited USB connection or simply your cell is set at that speed. Older Sony Ericson also don't give full 56k speed. My V600 does.

Connecting at 9600 is a Circuit Switched Data connection, not GPRS/EDGE. Typically if you connect with ATD and a normal phone number you will get a CSD call. You connect to GPRS with the command "ATD*99***1#", where the "1" refers to the CGDCONT table entry that defines your network GPRS service (different for each different cell carrier)

You need to use GPRS, not dial into your ISP.
