Hi!

I've found out that when you are downloading something with GPRS people can't call you. I thought that it should be possible to call someone who are using GPRS.

It works when you are just connected to GPRS, but if you are actually downloading something it doesn't work.

I have a T68, but it's the same on my brothers R520.

Is this the way it should work or what?

Nopes you cant make or recieve a call when using GPRS service.
The Swede Operator Comviq "forces" you to have voice mail connected to your number, when you order the GPRS service for the first time. So thats call to your phone would be reconnected to your voicemail when using the GPRS function.
Hopes you understand what I mean.. got kind of strange.

Well, as a matter of fact I am using Comviq right now. And I don't have their voice mail service

Anyway it's a bit lousy that you can't call someone that uses GPRS

Are sure? They dont charge you for it, or tell you that you have it, its included in the GPRS which is FREE now
I noticed it when I think it was my Mom called me and didnt get thru, and some days later she asked me why I didnt answered her call when she left a mess. to me.
So try call you phone when its "busy" or turned off.

Well it all depends on the provider!!!
Here in lebanon we got 2 providers... am with Libancell where i can receive and make calls when using GPRS, or even ask to have the GPRS service on a seperate SIM.
The other one, Cellis didn't enable any of those features!! But we do pay more...
Libancell : 35$/month
Cellis : 22$/month!!

On an active GPRS session, I can make a call. However, if someone calls, they get a busy signal (I disabled my voicemail). But with SMS, I can make and receive SMS.
