so I am using my Samsung d900 as a modem (thru USB)

Trying to use dial up (ATT)

Found few local numbers and can connect.

Problem is I am connecting at 9.6Kbps and it takes 5 mins to load google.com

ANY ideas? Can I bump it up to 56K?

You need to find a faster way to connect. Dial Up through cell phones are severely limited. 9600 is the best you will get.

PS. I get same speed thru bluetooth

GregDro555

I thought I can hit 56K speeds

I don't believe you can hit 56 with a cell phone, NOT WITH DIAL UP.

If you use a GPRS connection (I think that MIGHT give you 56 K, but it might be less), or EDGE or EVDO, you can get higher.

Some links http://www.gsmworld.com/technology/gprs/index.shtml

and this one.http://navasgrp.home.att.net/tech/cingular/gsm_data.htm

Notice the limitation for CSD, what you are using.

Yeah, the D900 is an Edge phone... You should be able to get at least 100K from it... if you configure it correctly....

I would suggest you go to www.howardforums.com... they have a lot of information on there regarding GPRS/Edge setup..

G'luck,

If you plan on using your cell phone as a modem do not expect anything faster than 14.4K.

Now if you take advantage of your wireless provider's web, then depending on what technology they are using, you will see faster speeds.
