@SyllogismCheck:

So would that enable you to call into a freephone or low rate ISP dial up service from your mobile then
Yes you can call them, but they are billed at a data rate which for me is 10p min. For example to call Demon I enter:

+44 845 212 0666

I have used this successfully all over Europe and from the UAE (But the price goes up!)

I do remember making a dial up data call years ago via a mobile and the phone displaying a 'D' icon as I did so, but that was on a mobile phone which had an analogue modem in it.
That is exactly what happens on my Nokia 6310i - whether it uses GPRS or analogue depends on how you configure the PDA.

Hope this helps.
