Revol internet access for laptop

I've purchased the data kit for the KX13. Has anyone been able to get
to the internet using the data kit for your phone with Revol? Anyone
know the access number/username/password?

Thanks,

I used Revol the year they launched (back then, as Northcoast PCS). Do they
even *offer* data services on their network? They sure didn't then, or
anytime in the couple years following.

Actually I've been using the web on my phone since about November, then
get this - yesterday THAT stops working too. They are launching a new
web service with ringtone & game downloads etc but you must take your
phone in for a software upgrade. GRRRRR! I already had to take my
phone in once when Revol expanded to Youngstown, Columbus, Dayton,
Pittsburgh etc. for a PRL update. I've *****ed at them many times
about how all the other companies have OTA PRL updates and internet
access. They are ever so slowly updating, I don't know if I'll last
with them. I do love the unlimited minutes, the great coverage in
youngstown, the unlimited SMS and picture messages which also work with
Sprint PCS, Verizon, and Alltel.

The incompetence is to be expected. I don't know if they own Revol, but
Northcoast PCS was launched by the Dolan family. They own Cablevision, the
most incompetent American cable company in existence. I winced when Chuck
Dolan bought the Indians.

I left them because they had a network meltdown a year after they launched.
Can you imagine calls failing *in Cleveland*, on one of the freeways?!
Happened to me on I-90 between Cleveland and Lakewood.
