Hi!
I've found out that when you are downloading something with GPRS people can't call you. I thought that it should be possible to call someone who are using GPRS.
It works when you are just connected to GPRS, but if you are actually downloading something it doesn't work.
I have a T68, but it's the same on my brothers R520.
Is this the way it should work or what? |

Nopes you cant make or recieve a call when using GPRS service.
The Swede Operator Comviq "forces" you to have voice mail connected to your number, when you order the GPRS service for the first time. So thats call to your phone would be reconnected to your voicemail when using the GPRS function.
Hopes you understand what I mean.. got kind of strange.

Well, as a matter of fact I am using Comviq right now. And I don't have their voice mail service
Anyway it's a bit lousy that you can't call someone that uses GPRS  |

Are sure? They dont charge you for it, or tell you that you have it, its included in the GPRS which is FREE now 
I noticed it when I think it was my Mom called me and didnt get thru, and some days later she asked me why I didnt answered her call when she left a mess. to me.
So try call you phone when its "busy" or turned off.

Well it all depends on the provider!!!
Here in lebanon we got 2 providers... am with Libancell where i can receive and make calls when using GPRS, or even ask to have the GPRS service on a seperate SIM.
The other one, Cellis didn't enable any of those features!! But we do pay more...
Libancell : 35$/month
Cellis : 22$/month!! |

On an active GPRS session, I can make a call. However, if someone calls, they get a busy signal (I disabled my voicemail). But with SMS, I can make and receive SMS. |

Well, I've tried Europolitan and Telia here in Sweden with a Ericsson R520 and a T68 R2B and both can accept incoming calls while I'm WAP browsing.

I'm on Norwegian Netcom and I'm constantly interupted by imcomming calls when GPRS-surfing, so mine works as it should! When the call is terminated I get a continue-option on the display, pess Yes and keep on from where I was when I was interrupted! KS :-o

I guess it is Comviq that sucks then cause, I can't recieve any calls when I am actually using GPRS. I can recieve a call when I am reading a wap page but when it is actually downloading the pages the the calls are not getting through.
I guess I have to ask Comviq if they can fix it.

So it means that I'm still kinda lucky with my SP.
During a GPRS session, i can send and receive SMS, and i can still receive calls. I haven't tried making calls coz i only use IR (probably when i get a bluetooth adapter)
Just sharing the info. |
