Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / September 2005tethered EDGE phone?
I've recently been told (by Samsung customer support) that the Samsung SGH-p207 will not work for Cingular data when tethered to a laptop. My old USB 1.0 laptop does not have Bluetooth & I can't use IrDA because of where I must place the phone during sessions. Do you know of a phone that will work for Cingular EDGE when tethered? My experience with Nokia & Motorola serial connectors has been that they are a weak point in the system. Perhaps someone knows how to make the SGH-p207 work? Is there an LG phone that'll work in tethered mode? Dave My Motorola V551 will work with a USB cable and blue tooth and the phone is EDGE capable. > I've recently been told (by Samsung customer support) that the Samsung > SGH-p207 will not work for Cingular data when tethered to a laptop.

I don't see why they would take the feature of tethering away on this newer model. What have you tried to do with the usb data cable? Or did you even get one yet? They have them really cheap on eBay. Get that far and post back on how to set it up. You can use the Samsung software but you have to change a setting or two.

The way I look at it, this notebook user needs unlimited data. I could get by for less, but not much less. How about a second sim for data in a pc card, and no voice plan on the data line. PC cards are free or close to it with a contract. Off and on users should look at eBay. I like the 6230 for the phone and my ThinkPad have IR and Bluetooth. For $40, you notebook could use a Bluetooth dongle. Set up is a pain, and officially Cingular data does not support Bluetooth. I've used generic and genuine Nokia cables; both work fine for me. A data connected phone puts my calls to voicemail. So to get a voice line and a data line, I got two lines. The cost is about equal; no data plan on the voice line and no voice plan on the data line. My complaint? Edge is not fast enough for video. Time should fix that. Or maybe Verizon data will. Good luck. > I've recently been told (by Samsung customer support) that the Samsung > SGH-p207 will not work for Cingular data when tethered to a laptop. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Dave |
