Hi Jean,<br><br>That is correct. You don't need another ISP, as you are not actually "dialling" as you were with the old CDMA phone.<br><br>Next G data is a single product, with Telstra being the ISP and also the phone network provider.
<br><br>You simply dial *99# to establish the connection and then you are online immediately. It takes about 1 second to authenticate. The old technology was like WAP where you dialled a number and were charged for time.<br>
<br>Next G has two models of pricing available, one being time charged and the other being data charged.<br><br>Sorry I don't have much more idea about bluetooth<br><br>Goodluck!<br><br>Blake<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Blake, thanks for the response.<br><br>So I don't dial iinet at all, is that what you're saying? I vaguely<br>remember something similar from using my CDMA phone for data several years<br>ago, but at that time my internet account was with Bigpond. Although I
<br>wrote in my earlier note that I'd used CDMA to access iinet, I was<br>mis-remembering.<br><br>Thanks for the reminder about the data-pack. I hope I can put it on for a<br>few months and then take it off again, because my outback travel tends to
<br>be very seasonal.<br><br>Any other tips gratefully accepted, for example how to get Bluetooth up and<br>running.<br><br>Cheers, Jean<br><br>Blake Munro wrote:<br>> Hi Jean,<br>><br>> Once you have the bluetooth up and running, create a dial up connection
