There is no IP in        KE> SS7. So you probably get a IP over XXXXX like with ADSL. It is still        KE> all Telecom world thinking.              GSM is part of the link layer. Like ISDN. When I used it for data many moons       ago, I called a telephone number for Internet access, just like one did with a       POTS modem. It was the same number in fact. It was my understanding that there       were modem banks in the GSM exchange of the provider.               KE> When you are roaming you certainly do not get IP access in the country        KE> where you are. You access the net trough the entry point of your        KE> provider.              If you say so. I am out of my leage here...               KE> I currently have no active forein Sim cards, so I cannot support my        KE> remarks with real results.              You can check next time when you venture outside The Netherlands. I will do       the same when I get a chance.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 19/10 154/10 203/0 221/0 6 226/17 229/354 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5006 5555       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 640/1384 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3828/7 5019/40 5020/545       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 229/426           |
