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
