Blueyonder and GPRS - can it be done?
Currently, I connect to the internet by Blueyonder Broadband through a cable modem attached (by USB) to my laptop.
Previously when I had an AOL dial up account I just configured my laptop to use my mobile phone as a modem and could access the web (although slowly) while on the move.
I would like to know if I can connect to the internet with Blueyonder using GPRS on my mobile phone. I understand that I wouldn't get broadband speeds but they would be better than dial-up.
Having spoken to both O2 and Blueyonder I found that they were not knowledgable on how to help me on this. Has anyone had any experience of this and please can they give me some pointers?
I am using an Acer Travelmate 529ATXV. Pentium 3 (1Mhz), 384MB RAM, 20 GB HD running Windows 2000 professional. The mobile phone is a Nokia 7250 with GPRS.
Any help would be much appreciated
