Is anyone using the hayes compatible modem mode to connect to a modem pool?
I am trying to dial up a modem and log in, and I get a message after some time that it cannot connect. If I put in the wrong username/pwd it gives me an error message that the username/pwd is wrong, and ends the call faster. I think I may need Cingular to add some service to my account, but I'm not sure. Right now, I'm using cingular pda connect unlimited for blackberry connect, and I no longer have access to isp.cingular. Is the dialup service something that has to be enabled on the account?
NOTE: I am not talking about tethering, I'm dialing up a modem pool directly from my 8525, no laptop involved....
thanks,
Wes

I do not have internet now but I have unlimited GPRS , how can I use it on my PC ?
same question
or can i use a laptop or pc for display, because the screen of wizard is too samll...
what can modem link and csd line type do????
or you can user your wizard as a modem for your PC, thats more comfortable ; )
But how to set it up ??
And where??
in start->programs you have a modem program, start this and select usb. connect the wizard with your notebook, install the wizard as "HTC Modem" with the driver supplied on one of the CDs (or take it from ftp). then you can create a new modem connection to your gprs number. or you can use the HTC Dialer program, it is also on the ftp (bundled with the driver)
My problem is that I have unlimited GPRS from mobile, but I can't use it as modem (hand held GPRS option). When I am trying to use my HTC Wizard as modem I need to put in telephone number, but I do not have any. When I am connecting to GPRS from wizard I do not need any number just login and pass. Any ideas??
With T-Mobile, the number you have to enter (where it says phone number on the computer) is *99# I do not use a user name or password ( it is not needed for t-mobile) but I am assuming for you they would be the same as what you use on the handheld. I also use bluetooth DUN profile, not the USB link, but it should be exactly the same I believe. I do not know which carrier you are using, but try this.
Thanks for the number. I'm going to try that number as soon as I will come back home. The only thing, which worries me, is can tmobile detect am I using my phone or computer and phone as a modem.
Can the 8525 dial in to my internet providers access number and access the internet via dial up networking?
Thanks
Ok, here is what I am doing.
Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Connections-->add new modem connection.
My Connection - Name
Cellular Line - Select a Modem
Enter number for my dial up service
Enter Username
Enter Password
Leave Domain Blank
(no changes to the advanced section)
Click Finish
When I select the new profile "My Connection" and tell it to connect, I am again prompted for my password. I enter my password and press OK
It says connecting to "My Connection" and Connecting using Cellular Line.
This flashes up twice then I get the message:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edit:
one other thing that I tried was putting in my home phone number as the number to dial. When I try to connect, it doesn't seem to even be dialing the number because my home phone did not ring or anything.
Seems that Cingular does not allow this according to this thread
That really sux!
Lantern20,
I'm using a HTC Tytn in Sweden that is Operator free. I then use the chip from my company's subscription to Vodafone (Telenor). Everything works fine, including GPRS, but I get the same message as you do when trying a dial-up connection.
And, same as you, it doesn't seem to dial at all. The message comes too quick. If I manually dial the dial-up number, the modem answers in the other end, so the number is okay.
I haven't checked if Vodafone still allow CSD in their network (according to the thread you pointed out), but I do believe they do, since I already used the same chip in a Sony-Ericsson phone to dial-up. So, it seems that dial-up works with my chip.
Anybody comment???
I'm having the same problem. The strange thing is that I tried dialing manually on my phone to the ISP and I can hear the modem pick up on the other end. Any insights?
Dial-up Connection
I can get mine to connect but I am unable go load browser pages.
I had a 8125 that worked great.
The information I have found instructing the use of the Cingular 8525 as a wireless modem is HERE, but I do not want to use my data plan. I want to use my home dial-up ISP to connect to the internet on my 8525... and/or use it as a wireless modem tethered to my laptop. I have entered the correct dial up number, user ID and password. My phone attempts to connect to the dial-up service, but at the end it simply says the "The remote party has ended this connection."
Any ideas or am I just dreaming?
Thanks

Man, I hope I don't get flamed here, but I have checked using the advanced google search, ect and couldn't fnd my problem, so here it is
My ISP (Telus) gives me 10 hours of dialup a month.I want to be able to use my 8525 to connect to dialup so I can check email ect from the different cities I end up.
I added a new modem connection and used the Hayes cmpatible on Com1, added the dialup number, login and password. It dials the number, waits, then gives me the cannot connect screen.
I've triple checked the settings, login and password...and still can't connect
If you know how to make it go, please share the info, I would greatly appreciate it!

Gawd even in Australia i dont think there is many using Dial-up and we have the slowest internet in the world! only 10 hours you think with the amount they will get from you using your mobile and dialup they would just give you unlimited
thats just on top of my adsl. I guess its for those who roam alot.
Still no answer to as what I am doing wronng tho, anybody???
Dialup using your 8525
Hi,
I had the same problem. To be able to connect with the 8525 you need to switch your signal to GSM and it will let you dialup. To do this I got a software called BandSwitch from Daniel Herrero Rey at www.commmprpro.com.
Good Luck,
Luis
i am also trying to use dialup on this device. I live in Canada and out data plans SUCK ASS! I have some dial up access from my ISP (bell sympatico) and i want to dial up but everytime i try to connect, it fails!
thanx for the link, I will try it now
can't seem to get it to stick to GSM mode. It switches back to auto mode right away
nonsense, bandswitch is not what he need!
some think too complicated when trying to anser such really basic question:
Create a new connection (settings/connections) and chose mobileconnection as modem (dont choose haiescompatible modem or 3g modem). then add username + passw. + dial in tel.number (which depend on your serviceprovider, if you dont know then ask him). thats all.
each time you connect to the net you will use GSM network.
If you want to use UMTS connection again you must select (switch back) to ISP connection by hand (settings/connection).
Hi,
I have an application that connects to the Bluetooth DUN service of my mobile phone. By using the hyperterminal and the windows console application that I have done using C language, I am able to dial out to a fixed line.
However, when I switch to the GPRS mode using +CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN", I will get the NO CARRIER error after I dial *99#. My service provider has verified that the *99# is the correct number to dial.
Please do advice me on how I can proceed.
Thanks and regards,
PS
I might be a little bit off in my explanations and assumptions here, but my understanding of the way it works is that GPRS is your data connection. When you dial the access number you are establishing your data connection. If I am reading into your purpose correctly, you are wanting to use your phone as a modem to call into an ISP or to a dialup server. If that is the case, you would just dial the number without switching to gprs first.
This is probably a bad example, but consider your gprs connection like an ethernet lan connection at your home or work. If you wanted to use your home computer that is connected to the ethernet, to call an ISP or dialup server, you would need to use a telephone line plugged into the modem port, not try to dial over the ethernet (VOIP excluded). Does that help explain things, or make it all clear as mud.
Hi Steve,
Thank you for the advice.
I have tried to dial the number provided by my ISP without switching to GPRS first. The number I dial is the generic *99#. I guess that once I make this call, the telephone operator, which is also my ISP, would know that I am trying to connect a dial up.
But after I make the dial by sending ATDT*99#, I get a respond "CONNECT" then some unreadable characters follows for a while. After sometimes, the "NO CARRIER" respond will appear and the unreadable characters stop. Are these characters the PPP packets for a dial up? I am also not prompted to enter any password or login at all.
Are there any thing else that I should change?
Thanks and regards,

Again, I may be wrong here, but if you are trying to connect to a remote computer using DUN, then you are trying to have your computer use your phone as a dial up modem. I believe that the ATDT*99# is the setting to connect your phone to your GPRS service. Once you connect to GPRS, the only thing the GPRS network is going to understand is an IP address, not a phone number.
I think, if I understand you correctly, that you are tethering your phone to your computer with bluetooth and then attempting to make a call to a DUN host using a phone number (not the ATDT*99#), but a real 7 - 10 digit number.
Tethering is typically where you connect your computer to your phone via usb bluetooth etc, and use the devices data service (GPRS, UTMS, etc) to browse the internet, pull email, etc. You can't dial a number over this service as you are connected to the internet, not the public switched phone network.
Check this post for tethering instructions.

You are actually trying to use your mobile phone as an analog modem, but your phone has no hardware inside it to respond to the answering modem when you call your ISP or remote host via a phone call.
There is a way to do this, but it involves some work. You have to build a small adapter that will convert your mike and earphone connections into a 2 wire that will plug into your computers analog modem. There are problems with this type of data service. It is slow, doesn't support cell changes, and may be disallowed by your carrier. Check this post to see what I am talking about.

Let me know if this sheds any light on the subject, or if I just really don't understand what you are trying to do.
Thanks,
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply. I always thought that *99# was the number for me to dial up to the ISP but now I guess I have to find out more about it.
I was using the ATcommand: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN" to set up my phone to use GPRS network and then ATDT*99#. I thought that by issuing these 2 commands to the phone, I would be able to instruct it to connect to my ISP and set up the PPP link between my phone and the laptop.
Do you mean that the number to dial is wrong?
If I were to succeed in dialing to my ISP, are there any things (commands or code) that I need to set up the PPP link on my WinXP laptop?
Thanks and regards,
