Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / May 2005Cingular CSD
Does Cingular still provide the CSD option? I was wanting to use some of my unlimited weekend minutes to dialup my ISP and surf slowly with my laptop. STill possible? Last I knew they charge $4/mo. for CSD. It is slow and policy doesn't let you use "free" minutes. (enforcement appears to be lax). Also I've heard they don't allow CSD on roaming partner's towers. See HowardForums.com for more info or call Cingular. Dav e > Last I knew they charge $4/mo. for CSD. It is slow and policy doesn't > let you use "free" minutes. (enforcement appears to be lax).

I've never had a problem using CSD at those times--comes out of whatever pool a voice call at that time would come out of.  SignatureJud Dallas TX USA Do I need to call Cingular and have CDS activated? Will they do that or require some additonal package? > "Free" as in free nights and weekends?

I've got a GAIT account and CSD was included in that without having to request it. On TDMA you had to have a wap data package apx $5/mo. I think people have reported lately that they couldn't get it at all on pure GSM accounts but that may be a case of the CSR's just not knowing about anything but the GPRS data packages. SignatureJud Dallas TX USA I activated CSD on my phone myself from using the account log-in screen from www.cingular.com After logging on to your account, You click on My Features on the left Then click Available features Then you select to add "Wireless Internet" to your account for $3.99 a month. Note that it is "Wireless Internet" and not "Wireless Internet Express" I have called up the isp and have never incurred additional charges beyond the 3.99 a month. > Do I need to call Cingular and have CDS activated?
