On a Cingular 8125 pda/phone, can I create a dial-up networking
connection and use it with the browser and email client? I don't want
to pay for one of Cingular's "data" plans. Way too expensive for me.
Cingular customer service says I can't have a dial-up connection, but
I don't necessarily believe them. I'm sure they'd like nothing better
than to sell me a data plan. Any help would be appreciated.

You're probably thinking of CSD, but that's not something that Cingular
wants to support.

You can do it, but remember you are going to use your minutes and YES
cingular does support CSD!

You need to have a feature called "CSD" (Circuit-Switched Data) enabled
on your account. It comes standand on T-Mobile accounts, but
historically with Cingular you've had to ask for it, sometimes paying a
small monthly fee. ($3.99?) When I last had Cingular (2002 or so) they
called it "Wireless Web."

Where your 8125 can use EDGE data (up to 200kbps) on a data plan, CSD
tops out at 9.6kbps. Painful for web browsing, but ok for e-mail. Why
not just try creating a dial-up connection and seeing if you have CSD
now? In "Connections" create a new connection to your dial-up ISP (or
try freedialup.org) using "Cellular Line" (not Cellular Line GPRS.)
Keep in mind CSD connections use up voice minutes, whereas GPRS/EDGE data
plans don't.

From my bill: "WAP-my wireless window 3.99"
Also supposedly enabled in all of the gprs plans.

Thanks to all who responded. I'll fiddle around with this and post
back later with the results.

In some (not all) areas, and probably not for long even in those.
