Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2004Username, Password and number to dial t616
Hi, I just got off of the phone with Tech support and they tell me I have to use my personal ISP account to be able to access the internet using my laptop. Is this true? I am able to get my laptop to talk to my phone through bluetooth, but when it dials out it is looking for a Username, Password and number to dial . I searched the net and tried *99# as the number, but I don't know what the username and password should be. I am on the wireless internet plan ($6.99) and use a Sony Ericsson T616 phone. Any help would be appreciated! PS. I tried setting up my phone to log into my ISP but it couldn't for some reason... Thanks in advance for your help! Stacey > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Stacey Try this... *99# username is ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM password is CINGULAR1 What do you get for 6.99? 1 Mb? You will use that up quickly on a laptop. Understand that you will be charged approx $10 for each additional Mb, regardless of the ISP, on this plan. There are plans with larger pre-paid Mb buckets. See Cingular's web site for details. Proceed with caution, if you are able to connect... > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Stacey It's been a while but I think you setup your own account at Cingular's web site, and use that name and password this is not the same setup for accounting access but is called "My wireless" and has a 4 digit pin for the password. Some ISPs bar slow connections check with them to see if they have another number to try, if long distance is included with your plan the access number doesn't have to be local. Two ways to connect to the internet, Chip is thinking you are connecting to the fast way, WIX is $6.99 for 1MB, I'am thinking the slow way CSD (dial in) either your isp or Cingular's, charged same as voice. I'd like to use the CSD option. I can not get connected. When I dial *99# it tries to connect but hen kicks me out. When I try to use my ISP, it says it is dialing and then it kicks me out before it gets to my username and password. Any help would be appreciated! There has got to be a way to use my phone as a modem. Thanks, Stacey > I'd like to use the CSD option.

I'am using CSD with a Nokia 6340i and a data cable connected to Cingular as the ISP it is slow but works. Was not easy to setup it took several days with the Cingular expert on site calling all her inside contacts. Got a CD from Cingular that setup the dial connection, the software is called QuickLink Mobile from Smith Micro Software Inc. What are you using for the number you dial ? What are you using for your username and password? Slow is Ok with me, just so long as I can use it. Stacey > What are you using for the number you dial ? > What are you using for your username and password? Not sure as the software doesn't show this, the call log on the phone doesn't show it either. > Slow is Ok with me, just so long as I can use it. > > Stacey You need their software CD and Cingular must setup your account to allow the connection (CSD). I've read about people using the standard modem driver and setting the speed at 9600 or 19200 baud. You are using bluetooth and I'am using a cable not sure that their software will support bluetooth. Have you setup your phone to access the web and do it work ? Have you setup your my wireless account on the Cingular web site ? Note My Wireless is different from the account you setup to access you billing info. > > What are you using for the number you dial ? > > What are you using for your username and password? > > Not sure as the software doesn't show this, the call log on the phone > doesn't show it either. on the phone the user name is "WAP@CINGULAR.COM" password is blank phone number is 18472549271 I setup User name of wap@cingular.com and phone number of 18472549271 on my phone before I posted the first message, but couldn't figure out how to make my dialer program on my laptop use that account.I guess the trouble I am having is that I am trying to connect to my cell phone using bluetooth. I can connect to it from my laptop, I just can not get it to act like a modem. On my verizon account I had to use the windows DUN connection to connect, and it used the number #777 and no username or password and i was able to connect all day long, but I did have a usb cable. I guess I need to ditch the bluetooth and go buy the data conncet kit... Thanks, Stacey > I'd like to use the CSD option.

That's because *99# is the GPRS dialup number. To use CSD, just dial your usual dial-up ISP's number and enter your username and password. > Any help would be appreciated!
