Hi there,

maybe it's a stupid thing I want to do, but I give it a try.
I have a T610 (installed in the car) and a P910 (with Blackberry service) with Vodafone Twin Cards (identical numbers, one phone must be turned off). When I'm in the car, I have to turn off the 910 to be able to use the T610.
But is there a way to keep the 910 on, but on GPRS only, with no more GSM (calling) services turned on?
This way I might be able to turn off the 910 and keep getting my email when I'm in the car...

Thanks for your input!

no way unfortunately

GPRS is carried on the GSM signal so turning GSM off (if you could) automatically makes GPRS unavailable

Why? As Masseur said, GPRS is carried on the GSM system, so no GSM = No GPRS. It cant be done, Ever, even if the phone manufacturers wanted to.

Without Line 2 support (which is the case with the P800 I believe?), that's a toughie.... Unless you can consider a twin sim adapter, and are happy switching between the two sims periodically.
