I finally found out how to use my Motorola MPx 220 phone as a bluetooth modem with my WinXPSP2 computer. First, pair your phone to the computer, windows will reconize the phone and install "Standard Modem over Bluetooth Link" Goto Control Panel, Modems and Phones and comfirm, if its not there try adding it via the add button. Next, highlight "Standard Modem over Bluetooh Link" and click the Properties button. Then select the Advanced tab. Type in the string you see in the image. Then, create a new dial up connection, and make sure you use "Standard Modem over bluetooth link" mine picked this automatically because its the only "modem" I have. Finally, in the username field type: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM, in the password field type: CINGULAR1 make sure both are in all caps. Type *99# in the Dial: field and press connect and volia it works!!! well at least for me it did!!

QUOTE (Qman @ Feb 4 2005, 06:08 AM) WOW, I wonder if this can be done with T-Mobile and a iPAQ 6315? Yes Qman, In "theory" it can be done on the iPAQ 6315, and it is a very simple process to set up (same as above). The problem may lay with the phone though, some units have a major BT flaw that will cause the phone to drop the GPRS connection with the computer after a short period of time (within seconds or upto 20 minutes). However that was on my last (Second Unit) and I have never opend the third unit to test it, as I am selling it on eBay at the moment. Never even attempted with the first unit as it was too flawed and locked up too much to deal with. It was a weird problem in how it would maintain the BT connection with the computer and the computer thought it was still connected, there was just no data transfer on the phone. Long story short, yes it can be done, but some have this bug and others don't. It never hurts to try... T-Mobile settings are dial *99#and leave everything else blank...

I think your tutorial covers the bases. For T-Mobile you would set the modem string to AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet2.voicestream.com","",0,0.
The one thing to keep in mind with the BT modem connection is your bandwidth is one half the USB modem connection. Things will be a little slower. But maybe it is nice not to use wireless and cables sometimes.

Anyone know what the settings are to get this to work with a STM 5600, running on AT&T? Would it all be the same, since Cingular owns AT&T?

I wish I could help you but that is a Symbian OS and I don't know much about it. Hopefully someone with a Sony Ericsson Symbian OS can help.

I'm with AT&T - so I suspect that the Cingular settings aren't working for me. If anyone gets the settings for AT&T, I'd appreciate them as well.

WOW! It works! I'm sorry for the elation, I've been back-and-forth with the DataConnect folks trying to make this work for a while (months). <==== (now) ETA: Connected via USB instead of bluetooth. ISPDA@ does NOT work, even when used in both the init string and user name fields. Right now it looks as if I'm connecting through GPRS @ a low of 11.5 Kbps, and a high of 28.5 Kbps, with average somewhere around 22.

How does this work as far as the data plans go?
Will this be charged the standard 3 cents a kb if you don't have a data plan?
And would the 24.95 a month media net unlimited plan allow you unlimited connection?
Or does this fall under some other plan?
I'm talking about cingular plans by the way.

Thanks for a great tutorial. I still have some odd problems- a lot of random modem failures, and a lot of flaky gprs coverage (even when it says it's there), but I successfully got to the internet today.
My laptop recognizes my mpx220 as a standard 33.6kbps modem, and while downloading a test file I was getting about 38kbps. Is anyone doing better than this? If you are, are you doing anything differently?

Thanks for the guide this is exactly the information I have been looking for. I have my mpx220 working fine with Bluetooth and active sync, and I am currently trying to get the dial-up networking setup. When I go to "Phones and Modems" there is not a "Standard Modem over Bluetooth link" device. When I select add, the search happens and it shows my smartphone device and I select OK. After the dialogue box closes it does not actually add a new device to the list. Also, when I go into the Bluetooth menu and select my device, click on the properties button, select the services tab, I see "Dial-up Networking (DUN)", but it is unchecked. When I check it and select apply I receive a pop-up box that says "Access is denied." Any thoughts on what I might be able to do to get things working would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks:
Chris

Hi all; Got the Mpx220 to work as modem for my HP zt1180 XP Home laptop, but comes up with hardware (phone) error #692 when doing the same setup on my new HP zd8000 XP Pro laptop. I've tried turning off the firewall, and verified that all the settings are the same between the two laptops (they are side by side at the moment)
Anyone got any other ideas? Is the zd8000 too fast compared to the zt1180? (P4 3.2 GHz vs P111 1 GHZ
