Please log in for more thread options Back in the day, when you went to a Hamfest or Flea Market, someone always had a converter box that let them use their cell phone with a stadard Trans 300/330 credit card terminal. Does anyone make that for a new cell phone? I'm guessing yes because there are way too many docking stations that let you use your home phone on the cell network. Anybody have experience with this? My customer is on Alltel and not adverse to getting a different phone. Carl Navarro | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Unfortunately, I think you have to have ANALOG service to pass modem tones. Try to find THAT nowadays :-) Carl | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

There's an additional monthly fee for it. I can't find at the moment so be sure ask a ton of questions, but I do recall seeing something from Sprint about accessing third party dial up sites. And I know it was for digital phones because I ran across it while looking at info for my Treo, which doesn't do analog. Here's a c/p from their website >
your laptop computer anywhere on the Sprint Power Vision Network. Simply connect

required.
Maybe it'll help, maybe it won't. In the 'whatever it's worth' department. Take care, Rich God bless the USA -- Et in terra pax | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Verizon has it for free[1] at low speed (14.4Kbps). You can use Verizon as the ISP, or you can dial-in to wherever else you want. [1] There's no monthly charge, but the minutes are charged according to your normal plan. You can get a usb cable for most any modern phone for 10$-20$ and it will act like a modem. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Is this "BIKINI at BEACH"? visi.com | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
