Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / April 2006Is CSD gone in Dallas?
I've been able to use CSD on my GAIT plan since I got the plan and the Nokia 6340i--don't use it very much but it's nice to have for checking email on the road via IR with a pda (dialing my normal ISP). Since the last time I used it, probably a month ago, and now it seems to be *gone*. Now getting a "no carrier detected" message on the pda. Has anybody else lost it or is it just me (gotta collect some ammunition before trying to get to a CSR that even knows what it is much less knowing that it was included in the old plan)?  SignatureJud Dallas TX USA You have to call them up and ask for CSD or Circuit Switched Data. It costs $3.99 a month. It shows up on the bill as "Wireless Internet" Last time I checked, the feature could no longer be added to an account here in metro Atlanta, so it may not be available in other cities. > I've been able to use CSD on my GAIT plan since I got the plan and the > Nokia 6340i--don't use it very much but it's nice to have for checking [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > before trying to get to a CSR that even knows what it is much less > knowing that it was included in the old plan)? >I've been able to use CSD on my GAIT plan since I got the plan and the >Nokia 6340i--don't use it very much but it's nice to have for checking [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >before trying to get to a CSR that even knows what it is much less >knowing that it was included in the old plan)? Jud, Are you attempting that while on GSM or TDMA? (since you said you're using the 6340i GAIT phone) They've been doing a fair amount of rehoming the BSCs to whatever the 'foundation' happens to be--either a BLU MSC or ORG. It would be helpful to find out if that was recently done. This network integration is taking place on both TDMA and GSM 'sides of the house' so your answer will affect some possible causes.

I had them re-add CSD yesterday (at $4 since they said it was never officially included in the plan) but it still doesn't work this morning. A friend with the same phone and Cingular GAIT plan still has it so it is something in the account.

I've just noticed that it's not working for me here in Northern California. I'm not yet sure if it's a local problem, something to do with my account, or a general phaseout (that I've been expecting).

It is working fine for me, here in Redwood City at 11:47AM both to ISPDA and off net to my ISP.

(Dial up my ISP at 9600bps) That may be the difference. I just have the old MEdia Works Unlimited, which included CSD, but that might have changed.

Ok, after finally getting to talk to a real tech instead of a CSR they got it reprovisioned and it's working again. He said they were running some "scripts" against accounts about the time I lost it--whatever that means.

Several users out of the Dallas market have recently complained their MediaNET was discontinued for excessive usage tethered usage and were talked into a data connect plan. I wonder when they will start running scripts against users in the San Francisco Bay Area? >> Ok, after finally getting to talk to a real tech instead of a CSR they >> got it reprovisioned and it's working again.

Probably already doing that, whatever it is. Based on the report it's probably something to do with account administration, likely something to do with backoffice and/or network integration, rather than your black helicopter theory. You're clutching at very thin straws. ;) SignatureBest regards, SEE THE FAQ FOR CINGULAR WIRELESS AT John Navas <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cingular_Wireless_FAQ> >> I wonder when they will start running scripts against users in the San >> Francisco Bay Area?
