Did anyoneTX connect to internet through mobile phone?

[ccw]

I tried to connect to internet with TX through SE K800 but failed.
My SE K800 can connect to internet.

Anyone succeeded in connecting to internet by TX through mobile phone?
Please share your experience and let me know the setting.
thank you.

I used to do this all the time when I fried my WiFi (I've fixed this since then). I have the old legacy AT&T Wireless, with a SONY Ericsson w810i.

I merely paired the two, and then answered yes when it asked if I would like to set up my phone for internet and e-mail access. Works great. :-D

I chose SONY E for the phone manufacturer and Other for the phone model.

Try Mobile High Speed, select any Sony-Ericsson model like 320i, 510i etc.

There are many documents about it, but only russian:

It seems to me english versions exist in Internet too.

Yes, it is definitely possible, however there can be obstacles both in the communication between your TX and mobile phone, and once that is solved, there may be problems at the phone service end. Some cell phone providers block use of the phone as modem within the firmware of the phone or at their end. Firstly, are you able to connect to your phone using Bluetooth or IR? If so, do you have a data plan set up with your cell phone provider. Even though you are able to connect to the internet with your phone, a data plan is a separate feature (and cost!). There are a number of resources available on the internet, such as forums devoted to the manufacturer of your phone as well as whatever your cell phone might be. These are helpful as usually, someone else has been down the same road already.

Thank you for your advice.
I can type SMS on my TX and send through my mobile. I think they can communicate. I have subscribed to an unlimited plan of GPRS service. The service provider provides me the proper setting for my mobile. But the guideline for the palm to connect internet through mobile seems not working at my case. I tried to search on net but I did not see identical combination of pda and mobile as mine. You mentioned there are some forums or resources available on internet. I suppose you know where they are. Do you mind posting the link here?
Thanks.

howardforums.com is a good general resource. If you can wait until after the weekend I can help more - I'm heading out camping right now!

On SE (menu entries might differ since my UI is on dutch):
settings --> connections (most right one) --> datacomm --> select the proper account --> more --> account info...
now, remember the nember at "External ID", let's call this X.




On TX:
create network service with your plone. The phone-number to dial should be:
*99***X#
(fill in the same number for X as found in "external ID" in the phone


USe the following script:
AT+CGDCONT=1."IP".
"<name of your provider>"
send CR
ATD *99**X# (where X is the "external ID")
send CR
END

Seems like this worked since you did not react on my suggestion.
also, this only works with SE and TX... don;t ask me how to do so with other brands.
