    Hi,

    I currently use the phone on Orange PAYG which gives me 9.6k data
    also, which I use (via a bluetooth connection) with a Toshiba E800 PDA
    to get normal internet access. It works pretty well at the 640x480
    resolution, but is very slow.

    I heard there is some way to get 14.4k in the basic data mode on these
    phones. Does anyone know how?

    I know about HSCSD and GPRS but they are very expensive for my
    occassional use and I need something that works abroad also.


    Peter.

    HSD isn't available on PAYG, AFAIK.

    I think 9600 is the fastest you're going to get.

    AFAIK, Orange support 14.4, perhaps try 156, I think thats the data line.

    HSCSD is 28.8Kbps

    GPRS is 115Kbps (I think) and is billed for data transferred, so it
    shouldn't be expensive for occasional use - unless they bung on a monthly
    fee.

    Oh, GPRS is not available on PAYG, dunno about HSCSD.

    GPRS is, but HSD isn't.

    Well, not so fast, it depends on where you are:

    GPRS is available (as of last year) on PAYG on:

    Movistar ES Activa
    Orange UK PAYG
    Orange NL PAYG

    albeit, in some cases at, well, *elevated* charges.

    Orange FR does not nor does SFR FR offer GPRS on PAYG. That strikes me
    as predatory. If you have the bucks to pay for a service, and the
    service exists, why should you be coerced into signing a contract.

    But whatevah, they don't get my business.

    Cheers, Andy
