[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1048593, member: 131855"] I ran into a problem last summer which frustrated me and the Sprint tech rep for at least a half hour or more. I had already looked up the appropriate codes but kept getting a dropped connection. He couldn't get the mac side working so he insisted I try my XP partition. He eventually hung up and i got it working on my own. Never did get the Win side working. Couple of things that might be an issue: 1. Double check the appropriate code used for your phone by your provider. 2. Some phones, like my Centro, require a separate piece of software on the phone to kick it into data mode. 3. I also had to purchase a "phone as modem" a.k.a. PAM plan from the cell phone provider despite having been assured I already had that. Once I had that done the problem went away. [/QUOTE]
