I configured the phone using the instructions from Cingular.  When it attempts to dial, I get an error message: No dial tone."  Any troubleshooting ideas.

Do you have a Voice plan as well as your BlackBerry Data plan?

If you are trying to tether a BB to a laptop, are you dialing from the PC or the BB? Where did you get instructions from Cingular? I thought their take on this was it wasn't possible.

I was trying to dial from the PC, as instructed.

That is interesting. Those look very close to the instructions I followed, but I never could get it to work. Came close, but gave up. I would like to use it when on vacation as a backup because some hotels don't have HighSpeed, charge allot or it just doesn't work.

maybe I will follow these instructions and see where they get me.
