@rvc
it is incorrect to say the CSD is not supported by the T68i. if CSD is not supported by your network (say AT&T) then it would simply not work on your phone.
again, the t68 supports the following data services:
GSM Circuit Switch Data: 14.4kbps
HSCSD Circuit Switch Data: 28.8kbps
GPRS 3+1 timeslot: 40.3kbps
but these are network dependent.
no hacking is needed. of course, configuring is required. (i never said it would work out of the box) |

Thanks for the reply.
I concur.
ATT GSM network does support GSM CSD.
ATT GSM network does support HSCSD.
ATT GSM network does support GPRS.
I need to rephrase more accurately.
The Sony Ericsson T68i / ATT network/driver 1.5.2 will not CONNECT as a modem using the published ATD####### command. It will however connect using the *99***X# command.
What this really boils down to is....
If you want to use your bucket of GSM minutes for data, ATT ain't gonna let ya do it!
If you want to pay for your data communications by the byte, ATT will welcome you with open arms. |

I too, joined AT&T recently with an Ericsson T68i mobile and have experienced the exact same problem of not being able to use my dial up ISP through GSM instead of AT&T's plan of paying by the KB (which is only 6/10 of a cent per KB not $4, at least with my plan). Of course still paying for the KB sucks moose and I hate it.
Now that I read your post that AT&T deliberately set it up that we can't access our dial-up ISPs through the T68i, I called them to verify. I called AT&T data service technical support (not the dweebs on the 611 line because they don't know anything) and asked them if this was true. Lo and behold the woman said that AT&T GSM (towers or phones-not sure which) were not configued for ciruit switch data mode, which allows voice transmissions to become data transmissions. Nor does it seem that they will be doing this anytime soon. The only thing that she said we can hope for is a wireless internet plan that will have unlimited data for a flat monthly fee.
Thanks AT&T for screwing us over. Somebody should start a class action suit against AT&T for trying to keep a monopoly on their wireless internet service.
