Connecting your phone
The kit with Motorola Timeport 260 is attached cable for connection to a computer, as well as CD-ROM with the program GPRS Wizard. Of course, to work with the Internet, as well as from WAP, must be ordered from the operator data services.
How to set up a telephone and a computer, described below, and yet enable to share their experiences. The first thing you need - is: patience. Fastidiously Save this entire mass of plants and not make mistakes - not an easy task. Well, if the person is familiar with the computer, and it does not discourage such things as DNS, TCP / IP. In the extreme case, may come with the phone and laptop to the service center, where a specialist subscription services to get by. In addition, patience and useful when navigating the World Wide Web. Despite the fact that the dial is a matter of seconds and always on the first try, the connection is set at 16-24 kbit / s (curious that indicated no real connection speed and the speed of data exchange between PC and modem to the phone, installed in the properties modem). The connection is kept for a long time, but due to the fact that the allocation of available channels for communication are dynamically depending on the load base station (the more channels you will take, the greater the speed of traffic), much galloping speed data exchange.
When uploading files, incoming traffic is on average 2.4 KB / s, sometimes rising to a maximum of 3.6 KB / s, or stooping to polukilobayta per second. Cachan volumetric data (more than 10 megabytes) so quickly tiring, but just travel sites - tolerably well, even when the graph. If we draw an analogy with GSM-modems operating at speeds up to 9.6 kbit / s, with GPRS-connection to a full display of all components of the website (graphics, banners) surfing speed is almost the same (or slightly more) as in 9,6 at the disconnected graph. Sometimes, especially daytime, GPRS-traffic completely stopped for an indefinite time (while maintaining the connection). The only option in this case run download again. And this is where the so-called download-managers, who can "dokachivat" data after the gap of communication. At long walk in the network's great rescues low power consumption, even in the case of work on the IR port. In addition, charging Li-Ion-Battery for Timeport T260 passes very quickly. Even if you have a laptop with infrared port, the best choice - a connection via cable. First, there is no need to precisely position the phone in front of the IR port, which is very difficult to transport, and secondly, without breaking the connection to the Internet can make and receive calls (try to call, leaving the phone in the range of the infrared interface).
Of course, there were failures, which honestly warned in Bee Line. Sometimes the phone ceased to illuminate the screen display GPRS. Helped by the inclusion of off-tube. In some places near Moscow, on the map marked as a zone confident GPRS-coverage, you can not go to the network even when there is indication of GPRS (calls are no problem).
Nevertheless, mobile Internet in a pair with GPRS looks tempting, especially when laid in a potential increase in data rate.
