I think she's going to do a speed test tonight. Jai yen mate.

Well I am off down to the High Street to make my own enquiries today. Will let you know what they say.

Right. Today I have been all over Central Ladproa or what ever its called and no one, in any of the shops that I enquired in, was able to tell me anything about connecting to the net using my mobile as a modem.
Is it possible that Gow might post were she purchased the card or the disc to enable it.
Thanking you in advance in anticipation of a concise and informed response.

First of all,

What model is your mobile phone?

Looking for your mobile phone information if there's modem inside and how fast it is and find the software and cable.

Or just call your phone provider and ask them if your phone can connect internet.

Not as easy getting things done in the LOS as it is in OZ eh Cappy??

Maybe it's just about the comunication, AO.

Cain't unnerstn' 'em ozzies when the try 'n speak English, Thai's gotta be a fun one!

Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Check the menu of your mobile for internet connection settings. If they are there your phone is ok.

Now you need a link between your computer and the phone, it can be a USB-cable, a serial cable or BlueTooth, and can be bought from a good phone or cumputer shop.

Finally you need some subscriber data to enter under the phones internet connection tab, you will get them from AIS or DTAC or wjatever you have.

Thanks lom and welcome btw. I have an internet capable phone (Nokia 7250 i) along with the software (Marmite loaded it some weeks ago) and the data cable. I am good to go but just need the card or connection data. If I cant get the info I need I am gonna get the dsl switched to this gaff tomorrow. I would have preferred to do it through my GPRS phone as the dsl connection is a contract for a year and I will only be here at Chez Kanniff for another 4 weeks.

If you use 1-2-Call, call 1175 NOW!

Cheers Gow. Isnt it ironic that now it doesnt matter anymore. :thanks:

Ohh dear..

I just did a speed test (bear in mind I'm downloading at 70kbps and uoloading at 40kbps on BitComet)...

Down = 356 kbps

Up = 38 kbps

Sorry to piss on your fireworks fellows but the fastest DL speed you can get with GPRS is 40 KBPS

That figure is from the MobileLife website here :

Thank you for that. I got some useful knowlagde from that site.
