    Exclamation Data Works After Service Shut Off!!!

    hahaha?!?! so my sprint service is disconnected RIGHT NOW....and yet I am posting this from my #777 connection!!!
    YES its TRUE....when SPRINT disconnects your phone(for lack of payment) they apparently only disable those features that CHARGE $$ to your bill!! I have been disconnected for over a month now...but my #777 is working fine!!
    I have been using this service for 2 years, like at least 8 hours a day, and have even TOLD the provider I am doing it....they cant tell....whoever says there is a penalty....WORKS FOR SPRINT AND IS LYING!!! they hate to have thier data stream tied up....but thier back end sofware is not aware of this feature....(if you ERASE your password in the dialup screen) I have used a N400-and a A620...speeds up to 100kbps(until you try downloading)....the first second of data bursts at high speed...for simple browsing this is great...but if your connection is a download....the KBPS slows by the second....down to about 10kbps...anyone who needs data in thier car.....just add a phone to your plan(or clone one of your own lines) and DATA AWAY FOR FREE!!!

    I am kinda the UNOFFICIAL spokesperson for this feature (over 100 of my friends abuse this service for free)hahaha....
    I travel the country in a rv....glasscrafting at festivals....and this servise works great on the move....ANYWHERE you get a signal...the data is FAST!!

    DO NOT USE ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER THE DATA FEES ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!!
    AND UNDOUBTABLY IT STOPS WORKING WHEN THE PHONE GOES DEAD!!

    I have been using my bluetooth enabled Sprint phone with my bluetooth enabled Pocket PC and have had no issues at all. I use the bluetooth manager built into Windows and set up my phone as a dail-up network modem and I dial #777 (like it says in the phone's manual). I don't use it excessively though. I have no real need to use it unless I happen to be away from home and work and have no access to another computer with internet capabilities. Mostly I just check message boards and email while on the go.

    Sprint has not said anything or charged me any extra for doing this. I do have the Unlimited service. After reading this thread I did look up Sprints Terms & Conditions and saw that it was against their policy. I would suggest to anyone that does this to use it in moderation and don't try to download large files.
    Just because I haven't posted alot doesn't mean I haven't searched and know what I am talking about!

    Average connection speed

    My phone connected to Vision at 246k/s I tried to download MSN messenger and was downloading at 20k which slowed to 14k after a minute. Is this typical for everyone?

    I asked about this at our local sprint store and I was informed that Sprint has a new offering for people who desire to use their phone as a modem however the data plan was costly, I believe 20mb/mth was another $20 on top of your regular Vision service. Anyone have that plan?

    ***I would like to know the steps to connect to the internet using the bluetooth ability of the LG 325??? Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think that I can buy an adapter for bluetooth ability to plug into my USB port on my laptop. So I would not have to buy a cable. Right? So then what do I actually do to get the connection? I do have a Vision plan.
    If someone could please help????

    1. Install the PCS connection manager software (Need the drivers from it)

    3. Setup a new dial-up connection using the modem you just installed and set it to dial #777 with no username or password.

    Thats it, just dont abuse it as it is against the user agreement.
    Actually, I called sprint a long time ago. They said they don't care and have nothing they can do to stop you since it's nothing more than using Wireless Web for a long time.

    The user/pass for that is: web/web.

    I've been using this for like 4 years with my laptop.
