This will incur charges not minutes. There are two types of INTERNET connections CSD which uses minutes and GPRS. CSD is TDMA only so u do not have the option of dialing in and using minutes on GSM. It used to be that CSD would give u a dial-up number for u to connect that cingular customer service would assign. The speed on the CSD connection was about 14.4k at peak rates. The speed on GPRS is a little slower than a 56k modem. The speed on EDGE class 10 is 115kbps. To get even up to a 50kps on standard GPRS u need to have class 10 GPRS. What pnone are using?
