But Vista does not start a wizard like XP Pro. Vista does want an ID and password. Where would I find those for Cingular as my ISP? Are they standard for Everyone, or specific to each subscriber? =================== ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul H Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 8:45 PM Subject: Internet using a V551as a modem > I still use my Motorola V551 as a modem when I'm on infrequent stays > at hotels where internet is unreasonably costly.

Cingular is indeed clamping down on data usage. This has already been well discussed and I am not going play your game of denial. You now have my permission to have the last word. >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: Paul H [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >Cingular is indeed clamping down on data usage.

I have seen the bills with my own eyes and made the calls to Cingular myself. And that is proof as it meets YOUR criteria for proof that you have used in the past...your own experience. I transferred around 10GB while vacationing away for a couple weeks in Charlotte South Carolina (3G). Need I scan in my bill I just receieved? Proof enough for you, DTC? > > In other words, you don't have any proof. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > And that is proof as it meets YOUR criteria for proof that you have used in > the past...your own experience. > I transferred around 10GB while vacationing away for a couple weeks in > Charlotte South Carolina (3G).

I didn't say everyone was getting hit by a within any specific time frame, nor did I say how long it takes Cingular to figure it out. One of the bills I looked at had several months of data usage, but no extra charges. Then the last bill I looked at...it had data charges. >> In other words, you don't have any proof. >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >And that is proof as it meets YOUR criteria for proof that you have used in >the past...your own experience. I've investigated a number of such reports, and all were due to billing system errors that were cleared up with a bit of work and persistence, which isn't terribly surprising, since I've gotten such huge bills myself due to billing system errors, and was able to get them reversed with a bit of work and persistence, plus getting additional credit for the grief I experienced.
