My understanding of the Vision service was that they wanted you to pay a higher monthly fee if you weren't just going to be using the data service from the phone, i.e. for higher bandwidth used.
But the pre-vision service, that I still use, "Wireless Web" or whatever it's called, doesn't seem to have restrictions on that. I got the wireless web connection kit from my phone, (really any cable that plugs into your phone on one end to serial on the other will do), and used the sprint-provided software to dial and connect to their internet service. I always thought those cards were just for people who really used the wireless web from the laptop a ton and didn't want something dangling off.

    I would like to know if the older "wireless web" sprint pcs service will work with the Treo 650. I am currently using that service for slow speed email access on a Samsung SPH 300. I am hoping I will not have to change my plan if I switch to a 650. I asked in a Sprint Store and was told that it would not work, however, I don't think they really know for sure. Leif implies it will work, but he does not say what phone he is using.
