QUESTION: Hey it still says GPRS not subscrib. this is a sim card that is internet access only is what I use to connect too my internet with my laptop (Air Car). I just want to carry only one thing if you know what I mean

Answer
Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the SciPhone with the services that you have set up right now with AT&T. You have to have a voice and PDA unlimited plan in order for this to work properly. The settings of the Data plan that you have set up are not compatible with a phone, even if that phone is unlocked. If you want to use the SciPhone, you will have to have a voice and PDA plan added to your account. Plus, you will not be able to use the SciPhone tethered to your computer because there are no drivers that are compatible with AT&T to do this. So I'm sorry to say that you will not be able to do what you are wanting to do unless you add a voice plan ($39.99 minimum for 450 minutes) and PDA unlimited plan ($30.00 minimum for PDA personal plan). I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
