using V551 to connect to the internet

Hello,

Question 1: Laptop on the internet with V551 dial-up.

I installed the modem, via bluetooth.
Appears in Device Manager, "query modem" works OK.
When I dial out from the computer, from the Dial-up connections, it opens up
the call dialog on the phone(calling my dial up number), but it disapears
after 2-3 seconds. If i call the number manually from the v551, (redial by
buttons), it connects as i can hear all the familiar dial-up sounds in the
speaker. What am i doing wrong? Anybody managed to fix that? I noticed some
users got their palm to access the net like this.

Question 2: V551 on the internet with broadband?

Can I surf the net with my V551 via laptop? The laptop is on cable.
I noticed a bluetooth network icon under my network connections. Can it bo
done?
The phone is all default, no editing or anything. Bluetooth connection only,
no cable. (i'll buy it if I can accomplish one of the above).

Thx in advance.

It took me two weeks to find this until I finally talked to Victoria
at Cingular, the only person there who knew what she was talking
about.

Put a + at the beginning of your phone number. That turns on the CSD.
You have to have a CSD subscription (about $3.50/month)

It's only 9600 baud but it works.

I just called Cingular and talked to two different people. Both said they never heard of CSD and it wasn't on their list.
What are my options? Should I be asking for something else that they may have a different term for?

called rogers, my service provider.
they only deal with wap and gprs.
they heard of CSD, but they told me to call motorola.
i know that some people did it, i just want to know how..

i even called motorola to confirm that there is no setting to work with on
the phone.
i also asked that maybe it is a hidden feature or a feature enabled on a
newer firmware, well, there is no firmaware but the one that came wit the
phone.
pretty strange anyway.
these people i have been reading about, it is either they lie or they use
gprs.
nobody seems to know about this CSD or any way to use the phone as a regural
modem.

You're just not talking to the right person, I guess. CSD is alive and
well and about $3.50/month. I know they prefer to sell you their
service at $1.00/kb or whatever the hell it is. I talked to at least
10 people at Cingular until I found the one fella that said "Oh,
that's simple".

Maybe, instead of using "CSD", you told them you want to make data
calls using your phone as a modem, that might help.

I finally got hold of someone they told me it now takes a manager to authorize CSD.
Now that I know I can do it, what is the proceedure to use it?
Do I just set up as a normal modem and add a + to the front of the number?

you are using a v551?
what did you tell them to enable this data function? it is something in the
phone? or in the network that they have to enable?
nobody seems to know here.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I told them I wanted to be able to dial my own isp and just use the minutes instead of data. I had to get to tech support before finding someone who could help.
It is in the set up at their location, not the phone. Certain ports have to be opened or so I was told.

I still have to find out how to use it. That's my next quest.

Yes I have a v551.

i called rogers, talked to them for like 30 mins, to 3 diff departments,
nopes, "you must purchase a data plan, otherwise it will not work.". "oh
yes, it will if you give me access!". "no sir, it will not."...oh, i forgot,
i need a cable as well!!....sorry, i use bluetooth. .....no, you need
cable...after explaining them what i need , all of them say "let me get
somebody for you that will help you with your problem"
well, after a very loong time, i got my answer: CSD is no supported by
Rogers AT&T Canada

so much bull****. i went gprs, 17kb/$.85 WTF
digital age my ass.

If you have CSD enabled (a subscription issue), just connect with your
Palm or laptop via bluetooth and tell it to dial the number
(+1-217-555-1234) with the +.
