This method in my opinion is best. If you don't want to buy the $19.99/month unlimited internet data plan to use with the 770 from Cingular, you can use your home internet for only $3.99/month.
1.
What you do is you call cingular and tell them you want to add the Data Access CSD. It's also called Dial Up & Fax if they don't know what the CSD is (you can add this via the internet by logging into your Cingular account as well). For Cingular, it costs $3.99/month.
For Verizon/Sprint customers, sorry but I'm not sure if it's called the same thing for you or if they even offer it. They may call it GSM Data. Or, Verizon/Sprint may offer this for free and you don't even have to activate anything. If you have Verizon/Sprint, I recommend continuing below to see if this works without activating anything. If it does, then you're already set up
2.
After you activate that service, you'l need to find out what your DSL dial-up number is. Use the one for the 14.4k modem. If you use dial-up, then you already know your number
. For SBC/Pacbell customers, here is a list for the numbers in your area:

3.
Then fire up your 770 and create a new "Data Call" connection. Enter your dial-up number and your username/password for that connection.
4.
Finally, pair up your phone with the 770 and connect to that Data Call connection. Within 10 seconds it should connect and you'll have unlimited access anywhere you have a cell phone signal!
It is $4/month, but this sure beats $20/month. And also, don't forget that this DOES use your Airtime. So make sure you don't spend hours on it unless you've got unlimited night & weekend minutes.
