Internet with EDGE possible?

[bulls96]

I am quite disappointed that my Cingular network does not have GPRS data network but only EDGE. Is it still possible with EDGE? or is GPRS really still available? :)

Think of it this way, the EDGE speeds will only be slowed down a little due to the BT data transfer but you will get EDGE speeds because of that is the DATA plan you have on your phone.

Hi there JAmerican...

thank you for the the response but i dont think it answers my question though :) will my LD be able to take advantage of EDGE? If so how? :)

THanks for the reply! :)

If you have the data plan on a phone with Bluetooth, then you can can connect to your phone via BT from your LD. Then use Blazer to access the web. As for how to do it, there are many ways. It depends on your phone, and carrier. Look at http://www.howardforums.com/ to see if there is any info on how to do it there or give us your phone make and someone here might be able to help you.

I have a Sony Ericsson w300i on Cingular. on my phone Data Comms menu though, there's only EDGE and GSM. No GPRS.

Hope someone could guide me how to do EDGE :)
