Set up a Cingular T637 as a Bluetooth modem
Is it possible to use the phone to dial out to an ISP if you don't have the data plan?
I believe so
They'll charge you based on bandwidth used. I'd check their site for the rates before doing this. On another site (can't remember where) I saw different logins based on whether or not your contract has a data plan. I'm currently using the login (see comment above) for a contract without a data plan, but my bill shows no charges for data usage.

I don't believe so.

Yes, you can use most GSM phones as either 9600bps analog modems or as GPRS tethers.
The setup is mostly the same. In the ppp setup menu you enter the phone number you want to dial rather than the GPRS CID number as described in the parent article. When connecting, the phone will initiate an outbound call to the number rather than going directly on-line like it would for GPRS. Note that using your phone as an analog modem will count against the voice minutes in your plan, though not usually against the bandwidth limits. It is also slower than doing GPRS tethering. There is a webage which explains the differences.

I just got a t637. Which script works if I don't want to use the GPRS, just the analog GSM at whatever slow speed I can get? |
