hello!
i found this reg key for windows (PC), which enables (or something like that) internet connection via Active Sync.
Try it, i hope it will help you, if you can not use internet via AS!

tilt 8925 as modem
i just got the tilt yesterday 12/24/2007 it is replacing the bb/curve 8310! so the rep told me that i could discontinue my att/air-card and that i could tether the tilt as the modem! the calling plan $59 and then $79 for the completely unlimited text/and modem usage! "worked great till about 4am" now the tilt is froze up on the widows mobile screen! yes i did the bat/pull-hard reset! then contacted tech/support! they said to take it back tomorrow 12/26 and exchange it! my question is if i pay for unlimited text and the $49 internet,,, why are they charging me an additional $30 to tether? and also is this a common issue with the tilt?

Because you get unlimited internet on your phone. You can use the limited browser, etc of the phone. Your obviously not going to take much bandwidth up using a small little phone.
You tether that to your PC, your internet usage goes up. Although you pay for UNLIMITED TRANSFER, they know you won't use /THAT/ much transfer on a tiny phone. You actually plan to take advantage of UNLIMITED by tethering, they wanna get even more money.
You can tether without AT&T's permission. Simply go into the WINDOWS folder and find the file called "Internet Sharing", create a shortcut by long tapping it, and copy the file to somewhere easily accessible. Double click this program, click USB then connect the USB to your PC. Now a new network interface should appear in network connections on your computer. You can use internet via ATT without additional charges.
However, if you use more than an unpublished amount of bandwidth, you'll end up getting a $4,500 bill in the mail one day. They'll start charging you per kilobyte. Their only argument will be "you cant use that much bandwidth on the phone, so you must be tethering"
Yeah, you pay for UNLIMITED INTERNET, but according to them it is LIMITED to your device. Nice, huh? Oh well, thats big megacorp for you.

So yes, you pay extra for UNLIMITED internet... but it is LIMITED to your device. Cool deal, huh?
Hi all,
Does anyone know if its possible to configure the Kaiser as an analog modem so that I can use it to dial-up to my ISP? I tried doing this by creating a new Connection on the Kaiser and selecting "Cellular Line" as my modem connection. However, when I tried using this Connection the Kaiser doesn't seem to be dialing out at all. Actually I'm pretty sure its not dialing out because I changed the phone number in my connections setup to another cell phone and it never rings.
Is there anyway to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
umm...no
WModem?
What about this WModem application? From what I can tell, this apps allows your phone to act like a modem. In fact I tried this app and my laptop detected my kaiser as a USB modem. However, when I tried to dial an error dialog pops up on the kaiser telling me to "Please end data call". Funny thing is that I'm not in a data call.
Any other suggestions? Has anyone got WModem working for the Kaiser?
dialup?? yuck!
Its probably a lot better if u use the cell phone data plan over dialup for 3 reasons.
1) its faster
2) a lot more convenient
3) wont use your phone's minutes
How much do you pay for dialup? 10 dollars/mo? and i beleive its around 20 dollars/mo for unlimited data plan for the phone. Just configure the ICS and u will be able to connect to the internet with your phone on your laptop.
@ekw,
Yeah I thought about the data plan.... unfortunately its uber expensive here in Canada. Something to the effect of $15 for 5 megs, with no unlimited data transfer option.
Dial-up is my best bet until they finally decide to roll out an unlimited data plan
Dial-up modem
Any luck in configuring your TyTnII as a dial up modem?
I want to use it instead of a pcmcia-modem...

Hey guys i was going to ask this question over on AT&T's website but i figured ya'll would be more knowledgable and i'd get a better answer here
There are two data services available from AT&T that im considering
I have the Tilt right now i was wondering which would better suit my needs/wallet at the current time
MEdia Max unlimited = has both unlimited data and text messages $35
PDA data unlimited = has unlimited data (3G?) $30
i use txt msging so id addon the $4.99 for 200 txts package too
I live in an area not covered by 3G......
what is the difference in the data from both plans....i'm sure they will both work but would i be better off going with the PDA plan because the data is larger/faster/etc.
or would the MEdia net unlimited data be sufficient, for the Tilt....?
i don't use the internet much, and i think i would be better off with more text messages...but if the MEdia net is not a good data plan then..i don't know.....
My biggest question is will my internet explorer and opera still work with MEdia net, will i still get pictures and a little bit of graphics or will web pages just come up as links with nothing else....
I'm not so worried about the speed unless its unbearable....
I just don't see the advantage of having the PDA connect plan if the Unlimited Data is the same.....
oh btw i ask because i have a non PDA phone currently on my plan, so i can get the MEdia net unless i tell them i have the Tilt then i have to get the PDA plan.....
Prior to 3G I used a Palm OS on ATT and used the media plan just fine. Was a little slower than 3G, but was able to connect through the program PDAnet to our firepass and access our applications no issue on the road through my laptop.
With the Tilt, there is a thread here where there is a program called internet share that you need to just copy a shortcut to and through USB connect laptop right to internet, this is called tethering. It's just like being home on my cable modem. ATT does not support this unless you used their plan, but I have never had any issues with amount of data I have used. Good luck with your decision.
thanks for the quick reply....
my main question is will i get the same internet, with both plans
i figure at&t is just trying to stick PDA users with a more expensive plan because they can
will i still be able to see the mobile google site, and other sites the same with MEdia net as i can with the PDA connect plan
are the data streams that each plan (allows/uses) the same?
Yeah, you are exactly right. The customer service rep signed me up for the Media Max 200 (even though that's not allowed with this phone) and it works fantastic! (Get HSDPA speeds, no issues)
Only costs $19.95 and u get 200 texts and unlimited data.
I keep logging into ATT's website to manually change my phone to my previous phone, but we'll see when I get my first bill if it works
I was told that just the other day when I started my AT&T account that the media max bundle is for regular phones and it also has a limit on the data. Where the PDA is actually unlimited.
IDK if they were just feeding me some crap, or what...
On my original ATT/ Cingular Treos 600/650 I got away with media net because the phone I previously had before them used medianet, and I had not purchased from them either of the Treos. Basically all I did was switch in my SIM card to those phones and never changed from the media net. If you can get away with it, JUST DO IT!
If they have a limit its a soft limit as online it tells me "USING XXX MB OF UNLIMITED"
So the worst they can do is cancel your plan... (I think!)
Can your At&t Tilt access the At&t isp connection without the thethering plan?
Hi all,
I had a pda plan and I was using my Tilt with the media net connection for a couple of weeks. I am not sure if the at&t isp connection work from the get go.
Anyway, I dropped the pda plan now because it's pricey and I know I can still use media net (wap.cingular) pay per use if needed. Now the question is with no data plan can you connect to at&t isp connection (isp.cingular) and pay per use as well? I thought you cannot but somehow I am able to. I thought the isp.cingular is if you have a thethering $60 plan.
Thanks...

Holy crap another redundant post, this topic had been discussed time and time again, search the wiki, hell use google. In addition click the link that tells you about video drivers in my sig.
P.S. You can access whatever you want, its your bill not mine, pay per use, i hope you make alot of money,especially if you use isp on pay per use.
