Using the Treo 270, should I use EArthlink or AT&T for the ISP sevice?

Is one better than the other? Will both work on the PDA? Do I have to do something special to make it work?

have blackberry on Earthlink, but want to use my Treo instead, but beofre I cancel blackbery, want to know which way to go.

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Who is your network carrier?
I've read of several people using earthlink with no problems.
Not sure about AT&T. To set up a new connection you need to go into your preferences, select network from the pulldown menu and I believe earthlink is already preconfigured there you just need to add the details.

currently have blackberry on earthlink, but before i cancel it (since I have not gotten it to work yet, and have had it almost a year) I want to decide which to use...Earthlink or AT&T, if they support the Palm OS on the Treo?

figure both has setup instructions if in fact they support it, and which is going to be cheaper. currently paying earthlink 50 dollars per month (and not using it) and AT&T connection will be 17 dollars per month (assuming it supports the PDA also)

Thanks

Well, I don't use either of them but I'm sure that they will both work just fine. It would just be a matter of which one is more cost effective for you.
I suggest you visit www.treocentral.com and search the forum. There is tons of info and there are lots of knowledgeable folks that can surely give you the best suggestions for ISP's to use.

Good luck!
