Simultaneous Data and Phone calls

[Guest nickjay]

How can I get my Milestone to support simultaneously support Data connections whilst I am using the phone ?

I just got the Milestone, charged it, but now I see that it drops data connections when I am using the phone.

I am using my SIM that supported this with my Omnia II.

This is not SIM-dependant, but phone hardware & operator-dependant functionality.

Btw, even when Windows Mobile does not show that it drops the connection during voice calls, this does not means that data could be actually transmitted simultaneously with voice.

If I recall correctly,

On 2G, simultaneous Voice and Data is NOT supported at network level.

On 3G, simultaneous Voice and Data IS supported at network level (that's why one can make video calls).

Please correct me if I am wrong.

You need Class A GPRS modem to be able transfer data simultaneously with 2G call. These devices are very rare.
