T-Mobile?
Authored by: mithras on Jul 23, '03 11:05:30AM

I have used both the ISP dialup and GPRS connections, with my Nokia 3650 and T-Mobile.

The ISP dialup is slow - around 9600bps. But it works fine, uses only regular voice minutes, and can work in a pinch if you need to connect to the network.

The GPRS connection is faster, but not amazing; I get around 28-35kbps (i.e., files download at ~4.5 kilobytes per second). You'd better sign up for the unlimited plan at $20/month if you want to use it more than once.

To set up GPRS, just enable the Bluetooth Modem Adapter in the Network prefpane, and set the PPP telephone number to *99#. Also, select a vaguely appropriate modem script in the Modem tab. (I use the Nokia Infrared script with no ill effect.)
