CSD no longer available?

I have media net unlimited, and the csr on the phone says I cannot add CSD
to my account because they do not offer it anymore.

Is this true? I hate to have to keep calling these csr's and explaining
what CSD and GSM data (billed by the minute) is compared to GPRS (billed by
the KB)

Thanks,
James

If consistency counts, yes.
I called to say that my V551 with Mobile Phone Tools would not send a fax.
After some mumblefoo, they said that feature wasn't offered any more.
When I specifically mentioned CSD, they said it wasn't offered any more.

Fax and CSD are different -- I have CSD here in San Francisco, but fax no
longer works.

I asked about fax first, and there was obviously some offline consultation
before I got my answer. The answer was faster when I specifically
mentioned CSD... too fast, perhaps. Maybe I should try again, not mention
fax, and just ask for CSD.

I recently checked and CSD is no longer listed as an option that can be
added to my account. I don't know if this change in optins varies by
location.

Frankly, I haven't missed it as GPRS works everywhere I've any GSM
coverage ( and GSM's all I have or can get).

But CSD is voice minutes, of which I have a surplus. GPRS data is
expensive by comparison.
