What am I missing?

Have Nokia 6230 and Cingular voice & unlimited data package. Would like to
use phone as a wireless modem.

When using Nokia PC Suite 6.5, attempts to connect to internet resulted in a
"Subscribe to GPRS first"
message. Manual and the phone "Connectivity" menu mention access points. How
do I "Subscribe",
what are access points ?

In the ideal world I would like to access my (several) ISP accounts using my
phone as a wireless modem.

tnx for any info,

jeffp

Cingular has to activate your phone specifically for data to get data
service. Sometimes this gets overlooked - it happened to a coworker of
mine. Double check with Cingular that your phone is activated for the
data plan.

I use Cingular's Connection Manager or Sony Ericsson's Wireless Manager
for my cellular data connection software. You can download these from
their prospective websites for free. I can track down the links if you
can't find them.

You may have to set up a profile (or profiles) depending on the
software you are using. I found the profile settings at the following
