[Edited by Site Admin, thanks for the submission PMerry!]

SYMPTOM:

The Smartphone 2002 platform does not support Fax and Data calls on dedicated numbers.

Calls to a dedicated GSM Fax number will not ring on the SPV (but will ring to the calling party until a 'no answer' divert is triggered), and calls to a dedicated GSM Data number are dropped.

It has been stated that support for multi-numbering fax and data calls is an optional component of the GSM specification. Whilst inconvenient, the lack of support on the SPV is not critical. However as the platform does not support the functionality, the result will be that all Smartphone based 'phones will not support incoming fax and data calls until this issue is resolved.

RESOLUTION:

None Known

That's a brilliant idea... particularly for the higher rate... but yes, i'd like to see GPRS included.

How does GPRS work on that deal?

MDA Compact II free on FlexT... hmm...

[PaulOBrien]

Not according to the T-Mo site:

T-Mobile said:

Wish it were free tho, SDA II CoPilot free on FlexT, as is the MDA Vario!

P

[PaulOBrien]

Awesome, can't wait for that then!

I'm going to hold fire until this new ?7.50 offer appears methinks...

P

[PaulOBrien]

Don't forget that although in store offers are nice, you get 25% off the monthly charges if doing it via the T-Mobile website, making the ?35 tarrif (?180 allowance) only ?26.25.

What's more, with a MDA Vario, a MDA Compact II or even an N70 if that floats your boat free of charge, it's insanely good value!

[PaulOBrien]

1GB a month is fine by me!

[PaulOBrien]

I think T-Mob are pretty relaxed, particularly (I hear) if you buy online...

P

[PaulOBrien]

I'm hoping so... all will be revealed on 1st April I guess!

Personally i'm loving the prospect of the new WnW tarrifs, especially when the Vario II is launched...

[PaulOBrien]

I'm on a web n walk package currently, and the mysterious 7.50 bundle has already appeared in my 'my t-mobile'!
