AXIM 51 tethered through treo 650 Cingular

rickms · 03-01-06, 11:53 AM

Okay, I love my Axim 51 and have been using it tethered to my motorola phone. My company just provided me with a Treo 650 through cingular. I'm required to carry this at all times. I do not mind using it as a phone but I'm willing to still carry my Axim. Is there a way through bluetooth to tether my axim 51 for internet access? What are the steps?

Search is your friend. There are several threads and at least one sticky about it. The trick will be you have to have a data plan for the treo. Now you don't have to have a pda data plan, that is very expensive but the simple unlimited media net plan will work. Follow the directions in the threads for dialing strings to add to the treo.

I do have a data plan with the unlimited media net. I have searched and have not found the sticky you are refering to. Some people are better at searching then others.

There are several in the Wireless Communication forum.

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=82337 this should provide your the settings. I think the unlimited media plan will use the wap.cingular combinations, but you can try both and see what you get.

The trick is to remember you are bypassing the treos data capabilities and just using it's bt modem capabilities. It may not have them. You might check out this thread if that is indeed the case. http://mytreo.net/archives/2005/08/b...e_treo_650.php. Hope this helps.
