Cell Phones and PDA's ... using the internet

[deftron]

Quick question about using a PDA (Pocket PC) with a cell phone (PCS).


If you hook them up together to get online..

Do you have to call an ISP on the Cell phone or

would you be able to browse on the PDA just by

using the online function on the phone ?

I know sprint has a data number, # something or other that you can dial. If you have Sprint and their Wireless Web, you can call CS and ask them what the number is.

I think you just use the WAP function on the phone. My company previewed a Verizon getup with a Palm and a Qualcomm phone, and I think the PDA basically just acted as a monitor/keyboard for the phone.

That's how I'm posting this message...

Sprint has a special number, #2932, that you use. Log in using 'web' and password is 'web.'

Using Sprint supplied Bluetooth drivers the connection is about 28.8 in speed.

I have a Sony CLIE and a StarTAC with Sprint. I just use my dial-up account from the palm so basically the phone acts as a modem. I get a whooping 14.4. Not bad for messaging and WAP. Just another one of the little "novelties" my friends know me for. I figure for the >$40 i spent on cables its worth it.

They are rolling them out sometime this year in the UK

GPRS is already out.

Something like £4.99 a month which includes 1mb and then 2p for 1kb of data. Its cost per 1kb of data. You can pay something like £15 and get 15mb and then 0.5p per 1kb or something like that. Etc etc

You get up to dial up speeds.
