Hello Richard,

I think I am getting it now. I have always wondered why a device such as a dongle for a laptop that can not be used to make telephone calls, needs a telephone number. Well... it looks like these mobile devices still use an equivalent of making a POTS modem call to the "ISP home gateway" to get on the internet...

That is a revelation... ;-)


Cheers, Michiel
