Help with Cingular, not Custel's cab ( I don't think)

[abovenbeyond]

Hello all,
I am running Black 3x, my question is this, I would like to contact to Cingular's network (data) but do not need or want all the apps it looks like the cab will install. I essentially would only like to use messenger and sync my outlook w/ exchange.

How would this be easiest, when I go to settings/connections/advanced I have the options of "my isp" or "work network" shouldn't there be a gprs or something?

Please help.

Thanks

If you want to do it manually, it's easy:

1. Go into settings/connections/advanced and either choose "My ISP" and "Edit", or "New" if you want to create a new connection. (I always just edit My ISP.)

2. In the "General" tab, enter a name for your settings; doesn't matter what it is. Then click the "Modem" tab.

3. On the Modem screen, click "New." Give the connection a name (Cingular GPRS or whatever you want) and select "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) from the dropdown list. Click Next.

NOTE: these settings are for MediaNet; if you're on a PDA connect plan, I *think* you just need to substitute "isp" for "wap" in the following settings, but I'm not 100% sure as I'm not on that plan.

4. Enter wap.cingular as the access point name and click next. Enter WAP@CINGULAR.COM as the username and CINGULAR1 as the password.

5. Click Finish. On the Network Management screen, make sure your newly-created connection is selected for the "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" box.

6. You may need to go into Settings->Wifi->Network Adapters tab and select "The Internet" under "My network card connects to:"

This should give you access to the Internet, Exchange syncing, etc. Works for me, anyway.
