That's interesting. You were enabled for Laptop Connect, pay as you go,
and then when MediaNet was enabled, you were disabled from inadvertently
using Laptop Connect.

Are you using a card or a tethered phone?
How were you enabled for Laptop Connect originally?
How did you sign up for MediaNet?
Did you change the login you were using in the "dialup modem"?
ISP@Cingular would be Laptop Connect, WAP@Cingular would be MediaNet.

The details are earlier in this thread.

I had Media Net Pay Per Use, added Data Connect, dropped Data
Connect, and the phone no longer showed a "G" for GPRS service.
I called and they said they re-enabled GPRS and the G would show
up next time my phone was in range. Didn't happen.
Since cell phone companies treat their customers somewhat worse
than airlines do, perhaps they should take a cue and make money by
selling "First Class" service - ie, decent service at a high price.
My time on hold, getting false information, trying to get something
to work right, etc, is worth something to me.

The GPRS should have remained. That shows up for either MediaNet or
DataConnect.

Maybe you could do it yourself from the Cingular page
https://secure.mouse2mobile.com/clie...guredevice.asp
and then follow the steps to connect to WAP@cingular noted in this thread.

Cheap Internet *is* possible with care and persistence:
* Recheck your configuration
* Verify that your handset can connect with GPRS
* Try again

They screwed up. Keep calling back until GPRS is working.

They tried that, and it didn't fly -- the vast majority of the market wants
the cheapest possible price.
