| 22284 | 2001-10-22 11:55:00 | Could someone out there advise me on how to tweak my connection for a cell phone? I am using one at the moment and it works fine and I understand that I only get around 14000 bps max.The signal is great but I`d like to know if any settings can be made so that the computer will respond better to a cell phone rather than a landline, which is what it is set up for now.As a cell phone is my only way of communicating (there is no phone line where i live)I would appreciate any input. |

| 22286 | 2001-10-22 20:01:00 | I don't think the CDMA One handsets will work at the higher data speeds, will they? I'm mainly familiar with GSM, and 9600bps is the theoretical maximum that circuit switched GSM data is capable of (although if you have something flash like a Nokia 7110, you will probably make it up to 14400). I would recommend that you look at buying a GPRS (GSM packet switched) handset. I forget offhand what the maximum speed of these is, but it would well and truly roast a landline. I think Vodafone currently only offer the Ericsson R580. However, the R580 is a very good phone (retailing for about $700) and others (such as the T39 and Nokia 8310) should be on the way shortly. |

| 22288 | 2001-10-22 22:33:00 | I have been using a motorola 2900N analog cell phone for the past 2 yrs, it is a 3 watt and works very well. | Guest (0) | ||
| 22289 | 2001-10-24 08:54:00 | What do you mean .. CDMA cannot take 100k (??) of course it can and GRPS can take half that abouts .. Its about GRPS vs. CDMA. Also GSM vs. standard telecom. It does not matter if its a flash nokie 7110 with 14.4k cos Vodafone NZL does not support more than 9.6k at their network. My flash Nokia 6210 does about 48k but only works 9.6k in NZL .. since then I have sold it for a international Sony with no infra-red, no internet cos too slow ... Telecom cannot use free mins (of what I told) so that was why I choose GSM (they allow). Ray |
