Just the thread I was looking 4.
My folx own a pair of E98s. Whenever I attach their handsets 2 my computer 4 file transfer, they r dtected as USB Modems. So does it mean that if I get GPRS activated on their handsets, I would be able 2 set them up to be able to access the Internet from my Computer.
How is the speed offered by such a cconnection.
Service Provider : Airtel
Also if I connect both the handsets will I experiance an increase in speed of download/upload?

if the phones are detected as modems then you can surf the net on ur phone via gprs connection thru ur phone. the speed is more or less same as 56kbps dial-up connection. afaik airtel doesn't allow bridging two gprs connections.

Modem is neede to surf the internet...

But as R220 dosent have a modem it is impossible to Connect to internet using that phone...

UPGRADE...!!!!

(Airtel GPRS is cheapest )

E398 is a vry good phone to surf internet... Lots of my friend uses it (Using Airtel)

It supports Class 10 GPRS, so the speed is good while comparing to BSNL Dial up...

The only problem is the Battery... so if ur using Data cable, then the limited time to surf the net depends on the Battery.. But if ur using Bluetooth The u Can surf as long as u want without any battery problem (Just put ur phone into charge while connecting to net)
