Dying for Dial Up Networking

Hello all. Nice forum you've got here. Not my first post, but i'm still relatively new. As the owner of a Cricket v3c, I think I'll be sticking around for a while :-)

My issue is that I'm really really wanting to use dial up networking on my Cricket Razr v3c. The firmware that comes loaded on my phone disconnects any data call after just a few seconRAB. I'm aware that the only way to possibly regain this feature is likely through flashing the phone.

This is where I need some input and information from you guys, if you would be so kind. A few questions and thoughts:
- What firmware packages exist right now for the Razr v3c?
- Do any of these lack the total lockdown on DUN?
- I don't care if i loose MMS (i never use it), but I of course need the phone to actually still call, have an address book, work with my bluetooth heaRABet, etc after the flash.

The only firmware packages i know of are:
- Alltel
- That new Cricket one posted the other day

I'd appreciate any help I could get. I'm itching to use my unlimited mins to quench my thirst for internet when I'm away from home.
 
the "mobile web" on cricket is limited to browsing Cricket's portal. Cricket does not allow you direct access to anything outside of the portal. So if you could get the phone to do DUN, I believe you would be subjet to the same limitations by Cricket's router.

you might be able to tunnel through DNS though...
 
With some other carriers you can establish a data connection through the phone. This connects to your carrier, not to your isp of choice, because either way your carrier is transfering the data, there would be 0 benefit to routing it through a 3rd party, and thus incure the same level of usage and therefore charges.
 
For other phones, this is called GPRS--which means that you use the phone for data exchange. The phone is basically a radio device to send and rercieve data packets. It doesn't "dial" like a traditional modem.
