Anyone know what settings I can use to access the internet on my SPV
C550 without using GPRS using my virgin mobile sim card. I want to use
my inclusive minuites to browse the web and retrieve emails.

I have tried using the WAP dial up number and this did seem to work for
a while but now it has stopped working. Anyone got any clues of what I
mught be missing?

Cheers,

Dave.

CSD internet access requires an 0845 dialup ISP, and is approx 9.6kbps.
Virgin charge a flat rate of 10p/min; which is excluded from contract
or bundled mins, or the 5min cheap rate decrement.

A web browsing alternative may be to direct PIE to the wap page
www.skweezer.net , a portal which reformats webpages for wap viewing.
If a free [ad sponsored] account is set up, email may be viewed also.
