I make the mistake of picking an incorrect and immediately available model number from the beginning of this thread, without reading carefully, and buying my phone from my provider's store, who usually sells old stuff as the most recent (my fault for not doing better research). This provider also hires chimpanzees to offer technical support such as "you can only use the phones we sell, and we dont sell phone model XXX." FUD. Good news is that I only paid $60.00 US for the 6190, and I already have a voice-ony buyer to sell it to. (Maybe I should have known something was up at that price.) This time I'll go shopping with only the SIM card, my laptop, and if everything works on the spot, I'll know I have the right stuff. FYI, this is all still simpler and cheaper that getting my provider's Radio Link Protocol working with the hardware PCMCIA GSM Modem I'm replacing. THAT was an exercise. This is going to be great. Happy 4th to our friends locally, and happy whatever-your-next-appropriate- holiday-is, to our cousins elsewhere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guy Boyd Software -- Hardware -- IP Network -- Digital Imaging -- Film -- Television VTA INC. // VTA Technologies // Steadifilm Corporation Atlanta, Georgia mobile@vta.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- >On Wed, 4 Jul 2001 17:13:39 +0100 Morten Vinding Nielsen >apparently said: > >No. > >The _only_ Nokia phones there have built-in modems (supporting plain AT >commands) is those of the series: 62xx, 63xx, 71xx, 82xx, 83xx, 88xx, 90xx, >91xx, 92xx and supposedly most of the fixed car phones. > >The 6150 is a, after all, pretty old phone and still needs Nokia Data Suite >(software modem) and the 6190 seems to be the US version of the same. > >The US phones is under www.nokiausa.com > >/Morten > >-----Original Message----- >From: Scott Mitchell [mailto:scott.mitchell@mail.com] >Sent: 3. juli 2001 22:18 >To: Mobile Computer; freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Re: Nokia 8210 (6190!) > >OK, finally found out what a 6190 is (it seems they don't list the US >models on http://www.nokia.com/phones/ any more).
