QUOTE(munimk @ Oct 30 2006, 09:19 PM)  this is the way i basically connect to the internet.. 115kbps is pretty slow but its not bad for browsing.. the thing is its cheap (Rs 100 a week in bangalore india for unlimited usage) and i can use it wherever i want to.. but there are a few problems: 1. i can accept any calls if data transfer is going on. 2. connectivity is not always good.. some cell towers don't even support edge 3. phone must be charged.. i use while charging in my room but i can't do that on the move 115kbps is very very fast here  and expencive . i think 100 kb gprs up/down bout dollar little less..but mobile provider when starts this service it was free a 2 months . hehe it was gold 2 months

I won't say that this is pretty good when you are using at your home as it is, nothing can beat broadband of wifi. But if you want net connectivity on your laptop when you are travelling or temporarily maybe because you might not have access to broadband for a couple of days due to some reason.
Well, I am using my 6630 GPRS-enabled phone right now as a modem, and I've been doing it since the past month as my Mom won't allow me to use broadband till the 21st of March as my board exams are nearing and she is not willing to take a chance and get me distracted. The speed 115.2 kbps is still considered good enough in my city, here people aren't that tech savvy, and well, but I still miss my 512 kbps broadband.  The main problems that I have, can't really use it with the AC on, well I can but due to the weak network strenght the speed is very slow and surfing deviantART is a headache then. The phone has to be charged as many people already said, when I am using the data cable, I can't use the charger, but when I connect my cell with Bluetooth, I can charge it. It costs around 210 INR per month for me, which is like around 5 USD. When it comes to downloading big files, well over a 100 MB, then I use Bluetooth instead of the data-cable, put the charger on and then keep the PC running for the whole night and the next morning, everything gets downloaded. I get like 10 kbps downloading speed without any download accelerators and around 16-20 kbps with FlashGet which I guess isn't that bad either. |

3G phones supposedly have datarates upto 2Mbps . So they should be a much better option to normal GPRS connection. I have used GPRS based pphone but the connection was unstable and download speeds a maximum of 4 KB/s. It was a horrible experience but it did provide me internet when there was no other option . But it was costly too.

I'm trying to configure mine, but just when it's about to connect, I get the error message "The PPP link control protocol was terminated". I'm rather new to this stuff, could someone tell me what I doing wrong?
Also, I'm not sure I have it configured right to begin with, because I can't find my APN to change it. I'm using Windows XP Professional, could someone with similar OS tell me where to find it? And, my phone's settings for GPRS doesn't actually say "Proxy". Could you tell me what's supposed to go where?

I use my mobile phone as a modem with 3G network and connect it to my laptop, I have a nokia N73 and its work fine, sometimes I even forget that its a dial-up because the speed is not that bad at all, I guess its depending on your location...
