New Treo 650 User

[ba79aung]

Just got my Treo 650 w/Cingular. All i can say is, wow. This thing is awesom.

Everthing is working perfectly, no reset issues yet.. But, I can;t seem to browse the internet using Blazer.

Once I tap on the WEB icon, it tries to connect and I get "Cancelling" popup and gets disconnected..

my settings for my NETWORK PREFERENCE is..

SERVICE: Cingular
CONNECTION: GPRS
UserName: ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
APN: isp.cingular

I don't have any data plan nor media plan. I only have the basic plan but i was under the impression that i would still be able to go on the web.

any ideas what could be the problem?

thanks

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Treo, and to ET.com.

I think your problem is exactly what you touched on: no data plan. It sounds like what's happening is your Treo is connecting to Cingular's Data Connect service, which tells it that you don't have a valid login/password, and bumps you.

I'm a Verizon Wireless customer, but Cingular is no different in this respect. Voice services (telephony, voicemail), data services (internet, e-mail), and paging services (MMS/SMS/text) are treated as separate package services & billed separately. To add the ability to go online from your Treo you'll have to buy a data plan; rates are on this page (at the bottom).

P.S. By the way, for your own protection, never post any login ID or password in a BB post or online. As least, may start getting spam from web bots that scour these forums for such things. At worst, malicious people (not us!) will start using them!
