What am I missing?
 
Have Nokia 6230 and Cingular voice & unlimited data package. Would like to  
use phone as a wireless modem.
 
When using Nokia PC Suite 6.5, attempts to connect to internet resulted in a  
"Subscribe to GPRS first"
message. Manual and the phone "Connectivity" menu mention access points. How  
do I "Subscribe",
what  are access points ?
 
In the ideal world I would like to access my (several) ISP accounts using my  
phone as a wireless modem.
 
tnx for any info,
 
jeffp

Cingular has to activate your phone specifically for data to get data
service.  Sometimes this gets overlooked - it happened to a coworker of
mine.  Double check with Cingular that your phone is activated for the
data plan.
 
I use Cingular's Connection Manager or Sony Ericsson's Wireless Manager
for my cellular data connection software.  You can download these from
their prospective websites for free.  I can track down the links if you
can't find them.
 
You may have to set up a profile (or profiles) depending on the
software you  are using.  I found the profile settings at the following
