Hi,
I purchased a Motorola VE240, grabbed a USB cable, installed the Motorola Development USB Drivers, downloaded Motorola Phone Tools. I modified the .INF file in the Motorola Phone Tools (MPT) to recognize my phone.

I have the data plan and can browse on my phone.
I am able to sync contacts to my computer with MPT and MPT sees my phone.

However, dial up networking functionality does not work. I tried all the instructions available via google, except modifying the modem initialization and I did not modify the windows registry (these things apparently are not needed for my phone).

Is dial up networking feature locked in my Cricket phone? Has anyone gotten this to work? I tried dialing #777 and using [email protected] password:cricket and did not work. I tried typing ATDT#777 into miniterm and got "ERROR"

Soemtimes when dialing it hangs forever. I have never been able to get it to connect. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to get this to work? (New phone?)
 
Yes, this is the Cricket VE240 phone.

Well, is there any suggestion?

Can I Unlock DUN?
or

Can I Re-flash the VE240?
or

Can I buy a phone that supports DUN and have Cricket flash it?

or do you have any suggestions?
 
Can I Unlock DUN
No seem edits seem to not affect the DUN

Can I Re-Flash the VE240?
Yes you can use the Metro PCS frimware. You need to locate it yourself. OR RABT Generic

Can I buy a phone that supports DUN and have Cricket flash it?
Yes you can buy a phone that supports DUN, usually cricket doesn't reflash phones you will have to find a store that can for you.

Or can I Buy a CDMA phone and flash it and reprogram it myself, to get DUN working?
Yes you can buy a phone, we wont stop you. Yes you can reprogram it your self and try to get DUN working. You will need to do the research though
 
OK,

BTW, what does RABT Generic stand for?

also, where can I search for firmwares? I'm having a hard time finding anything related to firmwares on the VE240. I found one link to a company that does this, but the rom was for Cricket VE240 and the link was dead. Google can not find the file anywhere on the internet either.
 
RABT is development (non carrier branded) firmware.

by way of finding it, there are so many sources it aint funny. google CDMA motorola firmware. i guarantee you will find nice collections full
 
RABT is simply Development Software Team. It is a generic that doesn't brand the phone. The firmware allows you to manually set up the phone for picture messaging, internet, voice calling, etc.

Humpa.com and mobile-files.com are excellent sources for any of the RABT files.
