Which GPRS Phone should I buy?
I wish to browse Internet on my PC thru GPRS phone using Hutch/Airtel. Plz assist which economical GPRS enabled phone should I buy in which the batttery gets charged while using the phone.
@beaditya - yes u can use ur gprs enabled cellphone to browse the internet...but u will have to subscribe for the GPRS package tha allows u to browse the net using ur PC...
What u have 2 do is....go to network connection...
click on new connection
choose dial up
then select ur cellphone as the modem...
for the no. to dial specify *99#
leave username and password blank....
connect have fun..
@ paid... - u cac pick any nokia\SE|samsung cellphone that supports GPRS...and then connect...
my suggestion.
buy any low end phone at least having gprs and Infrared !
@frost yes i already have gprs conn.................but what cable shud i use to connect the phone to comp??.............the same dku 5 cable i got from nokia with the phone??
@paid nokia does not have a phone which will be charged when you connect with a pc, i dnt think samsung has one either...............but if are willing to go for a color display phone then 6610 is good but you wont get a data cable free with it..................if you go for 3300 u'll get a data cable free and the phone has a 64 mb mem card and mp3 player in it..............it costs 8800 now in nokia proff..........u'll get it around 7300 in the grey market................6610 has infrared but 3300 does not have it.......but u got a data cable accompnyng it!!
@frost hey frost i did wht u hav said but my compuer does not show my phone as a modem............my dial up modem is been taken as a default................but i use the same cable to copy mp3 and ringtones from my phone................how does this work??...............wht phone do you use??
configuring DKU-5 cable to use phone as modem will cause lot of trouble , use either blutooth or IRDA ! that will be simple !
@paid, but whatever, the phone cant stand for more than 1.5 hr in any nokia phones...
@beaditya, hutch gives 500rs, gprs connection, 24X7 connection (only 32kpbs).
airtel provides rs 600 gprs connection.
these connection can be used to acess the WAP sites in mobs also. also mms is free for subscribers in case of hutch.
Hmm... 2mnany posts & i wud think this wud have helped the post starter !
Anyway if u still gotta probs ... Contact me dude !
@Paid.. Dude go for SE T230 or Moto C350.. both r cheap..
moto C375 dude....
it costs only 2999 rs .
colour and gprs/wap enabled
so people suggest me any handset having infrared or blutooth apart of GPRS which is must !
Well.. guys
NOw i am looking to combine two gprs . so now suggst me cheapest gprs phone which can be used to do internet (any make) and can have irda or can't .. ie.. no problem !
to connect net through gprs . first you need one gprs enabled phone .
then to way to connect it to your pc . like cable , infrared or bluetooth . these are available in the market .
and then call your mobile helpdesk to get information about the service . and then subscibe to it .
and then get necessory settings and and make new connection in your pc and dial ...
@ ricky............bluetooth is only present in high end phones(6600,7610,7600,n gage,7650,3650,3660,........in sony ...p800,p900,k500......etc)
if u want infrared.........u can go for 8310,6610,6100,6310,(all the low end color phone in nok have it)
i wud advise u that .................."nokia is the best anyday"............screw ideas that sony,motorola,samsung,,panasonic. have better processors, believe me .....even if they do theirs processors dnt work...
if u have a nokia phone its compatible with each and every software u get on the net.............others dnt.............so go for nokia
R520m Sony ericsson
R520m Sony ericsson Gprs phone with blue tooth and Ir facility and well with in a budget range
