Using T637 as dial-up modem

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: mbass

Hopefully someone is able to help me out with my problem.

I have an iPAQ 2210 and a Sony Ericsson T637, both are bluetooth enabled. I am trying to access my dial-up ISP from the PDA.

The reason I have chosen to go this route is because I have unlimited weekend minutes, so airtime isn't a concern, nor is speed a concern since I'd be using it to access my e-mail and the occasional movie theatre showtimes.

I have created a partnership between my phone and PDA, and configured the dial-up application included in Windows Mobile 2003 to dial my ISP. However, when my phone recieves the request from my PDA to dial the number, it will say "dialing...", but about a second later, it will hang up, before the connection is made. The PDA then says "No modem exists at this number." This leads me to believe that the phone does not know how to handle the dial-up modem tones, and that perhaps additional hardware is required?

Has anyone successfully created a dial-up connection through a cell? How is it done, and what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

you have to use bluetooth setting instead of my ISP
new-connect to internet via phone-
then you can put the dialup information
I configure dial-up setting for GPRS, but no difference from regular (CSD)

I am having the same problem. I am using an AXIM 30 .

I did not understand the answer to this one--could someone clarify?

Thanks

the provider do not support CSD?!
but I know Cingular does
make sure you use bluetooth setting instead of work or my isp
I never tried CSD (I use GPRS all the time), but the configuration of CSD is same as GPRS, just put the dial-up number, but you have to add dialing rules, if necessary, instead of using *99#

Ok here are my settings (I have Bluetooth setting, not ISP as you suggested)

I have 3 dialups available to me, one that is ATT, one Verizon, one a university server. All are similar to the one following:

Name for connection: ATT
select modem: Bluetooth dialup modem
number: 7178920000
Dialing rules: off
User name and password: set correctly to my own, no domain name

Advanced: baud rate 19200

wait for dial tone --unchecked
cancellation time:unchecked
Port settings Connection preferences: 8, none,1, hardware
terminal use terminal before--checked
use terminal after--checked
enter dialing commands manually--unchecked

TCP/IP: server assigned, use software compression, use IP header compression
Servers: use server assigned addresses

With the ATT as above I can connect, but the pre dialing terminal stays on the screen. and it does not pick up e-mail or allow IE to connect, it just runs.

Any suggestions??

Having the same problems with T39m. Seems everywhere you look no-one seems to have come across a solution to fix this problem.

Has anyone found a solution yet for using the T-637 as a dial-up modem? I can connect to Cingular's GPRS without a problem but I'd rather use my free dial-up account (even if it is slower.) I get the exact same results as those above.

I'm still not having any luck. When talking to our service provider the other day (Cityfone on Rogers), he tells me "that's because we don't support data on our network". I told him that's precisly why I was trying to use my modem to connect to my ISP's (Telus) dial-up phone line, I wasn't trying to use WAP or GPRS. He said "well it still won't work because we don't support data". I replied I didn't think it mattered as I was making an analog dial-up connection and it the phone's modem detects a carrier it should negotiate a connection.

Seems strange that there does not appear to be a solution posted anywhere on the net for this yet so many people are having the same problem with many different models.

I agree. Rogers has told me that the only way to do this is to subscribe to a data package, and they are geared towards businesses; so needlessly to say, that they are expensive.

No kidding! I read another post elsewhere where it cost the guy about $100.00 a month to check his email twice a day. A bunch of people dumped on him telling him if he's too poor or cheap to pay what's required to check his email then he should quit whining and cancel the service. I agree he should cancel the service, but for a different reason, if enough people did the same the rates would have to be a little more reasonable. Seems like a situation analagous to the early days of ADSL wherein high speed cost double what it does now.
