I think the lastest technology is called EDGE.
If the phone does not support edge then it's old tech

**Goddess of Whatever** · 15-02-2006, 06:37 PM

You are right (again), Thetyim. Both Nokia I reckon support EDGE.

Its a pity, as they had the best marketing in Thailand. Just dont know what went wrong.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 15-02-2006, 07:12 PM

If you are in BKK, Hutch is the best choice, I reckon.

**aging one** · 15-02-2006, 07:21 PM

So people should have a phone with two bands, or two phones. One for your everday phone and one for your internet connection. That is very limited coverage for a phone company GOW. But as a fast provider of internet in BKK they are great, they have the newest digital technology its a pity they may go under.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 15-02-2006, 07:24 PM

Tonight, I'll try to call to my phone while it's connecting internet. Let's see what happen but my friend said it's still connected.

no its not that, it's just that generally the thais aint very good with computer stuff, hell the first time i tried to teach was for the thai police, trouble is at that time i didnt realise they wanted to be taught how to turn their pcs on, I obviously gave up on that venture, my son is great with software and shite, hell in some areas he is way beyond me, there is even some thai guy that posts on one of the hackers forums that is way beyond me, its just that it is extrememly rare that thais have hi tech skills.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 15-02-2006, 09:36 PM

^^

I'll take it as a compliment. ;-)

**Goddess of Whatever** · 15-02-2006, 09:55 PM

Alright.. it's a show time.

When I connect usb cable with my phone. This picture will show up on your desktop.

Click on the green green globe icon (Mobilelife GPRS).

This window will show up the next.

Then this one,

So, you got the connection.

:-D

**Goddess of Whatever** · 15-02-2006, 09:56 PM

Righto!!!

I'll try to call to my phone which it's connected now.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 15-02-2006, 09:58 PM

Oh.. it says my phone is turned off.

**laoshi** · 17-02-2006, 04:23 PM

Is this a pay as you go phone or a contract Goddess?

Am I right in thinking I can just put a simcard in my mobile buy some time and wi-fi wit me laptop? Sounds great...

**Goddess of Whatever** · 17-02-2006, 04:39 PM

You are right, those packages I told you, they all are available for AIS GSM (contract) and 1-2-call (pre-paid).

;-)

**laoshi** · 17-02-2006, 07:00 PM

I'm always amazed by new technology me.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 23-02-2006, 11:25 PM

I just played with the modem configuration of a phone and yeah.. I can choose connection speed.

Here is my speed at the moment.

That's cool, isn't it?

**in4zip** · 24-02-2006, 07:43 AM

Weekends I spend at a house I have out in the bangkokian sticks; I have not put a phone in yet* and, the price to connect via a mobile+pc, quoted by GoW @ 500 Baht for 200 hrs (12Call, is that correct?), sounds appealing!

*(TOT does have lines running into some of my neighbours houses but.. it appears that there aren't any numbers available at the present time.. veritable BS in this day and age since switchboxes aren't electromechanical anymore but.. TiT, and I'll bet that some minor palm greasing would find me a number sharpish

)

All the above - that is getting online via mobile phone - is very interesting, but.. I would like to know the reality of how fast it all really is and the consistancy of it all (TRUE isn't consistant at all, fastish in the early a.m., shite by noon throughout most of the afternoon and semishite in the evening).
Where things, on TRUE dsl at least, start really getting dragged out timewise, is when uploading files of about 5-10 MB. Here I hit the upload button and walkaway.. and do something else to absorb time!

So, kindly GoW or anybody else with this type of computer/mobile/internet combo, please do tell us what is the reality while uploading/dowloading files and not just "simply" used for surfing around the Net?

ps I've also checked with IPStar for one of their packages+satellitedish; the sales pitch sounded good, but customer satisfaction on the lower end packages at least - seems to suck big time! Ipstar high end SME packages are great (people upcountry are running entire internet caffes off them!) but 7k-8k baht/mo seems a tad pricy

As nice as it sounds but I'm sorry to tell you that this is only the speed between your computer and the mobile phone

To find out the real speed of your internet connection go to http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and post the results here, I would love to know how fast your GPRS really is

**Goddess of Whatever** · 24-02-2006, 08:47 AM

Ok, Xzyte. I'll do it tonight.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 24-02-2006, 08:49 AM

I'm at work at the moment and we have "LAN" 100 Mbps and this is the result.

Last Result:
Download Speed: 1754 kbps (219.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 358 kbps (44.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
