T610 GPRS Dialup Settings

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.fido (More info?)

I'm trying to get my Sony Ericsson T610 configured as a bluetooth modem so
I can access my dialup ISP. Sometimes I'm stuck without a landline or
wireless network and want to be able to use the T610 instead. My laptop
has bluetooth and synchronization with Outlook works. The bluetooth modem
seems to be working and it dials but can't login on my dialup account. Can
someone help me to get this working?

Unfortunately, the protocol to dial up an ISP is no longer available from
most cellular carriers. You have to use their GPRS offerings instead but
they are usually pricey.

I had Fido turn on GPRS data service for me and got it working at 3 cents
per kilobyte.

I don't see any way to get this phone to work for dialup. I don't think
the phone is even dialing when I try this.

OK thanks, I thought it was just the phone I was using had the modem
disabled. I guess I'll forget about dialup then.
