SprintPCS doesnt support it, states it against the TOS, but apparently
allows it in moderation (up to 5 Gig a month) for its "Vision" customers.

Do you have any details in writing? They claim not to have any of this?

Jason-
When you are differentiating between dial-in and non dial-in, what do you
mean? When I go in a set up a GPRS connection through Mobile PhoneTools, it
sets up what looks like a dialup connection. It even has a number that is
dialed during the connection process (something like *99***1# if I remember
correctly). In connecting in this way, is this what you are referring to as
the GPRS connection or am I using my minutes connecting like this in your
understanding??

TIA-

JP
