Can't establish a CSD connection - Networking

OK, i'm cheap, but i don't have the $20 a month it costs to get the GPRS connection and just want to use a slow old CSD every once in a while. i've tried to connect to ATT Global a million times and it continues to tell me that:
"There is no modem at this number." (or soemthing to that effect)
or sometimes it says
"You username or password is wrong.." (when I know it IS correct)
Do i need to change the v.32 to v.34 or something else?
Do I select "Cellular Line" under "Select a Modem"?
What does transparent or non-transparent mean and does it matter for a regular old CSD dialup connection?
Basically, ATT Global won't support the Pocket PC for connections and T-mobile won't support CSD connections. They say, "Do you have a dial tone?...Yes... Ok, that's all we can do for you."
One last thing that may just be a ATT Global issue is that every time after i get the message that i can't connect, I go back to my settings and my user name is fine, but my password is twice as long as it should be. it is 16 characters when it should just be 8. i reset it to correct it, but then it goes back to the long row of 16 ****'s again every time.
I haven't been able to find info on how to set this thing up for CSD connections as a dialup modem on the internet anywhere. Maybe it's because it is so dang easy. However, I haven't been able to connect and I've tried every possible combination of settings and dialing preferences I can think of. Someone who uses CSD and a regular ISP, please help!

in my country theirs 2 types of CSD the presubscription dial up which has a number & a username & pswd in wich all the setting remains default & you use a the modem Cellular line or the public dialup for non subscribedt where you dial a number but no password is needed at all but i also select the cellular line as a modem.

I have used CSD extensively. You seem to be doing everything right. To test, set the CSD line-type to V32 and make a call to an anlogue landline. You should hear a modem calling you. Then set it to V.110 and call a differnet brand of GSM, such as a Nokia r a Siemens. It should say 'Incoming data call' or something like it. If these work you at least know your GSM provider is giving you the real thing.
I have no clue what's up though. Good luck...

GSM based net connection

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect to a normal ISP, using a GSM connection, instead of GPRS. I have data calls on my t-mobile account, but when i set up my isp details and dial it, the XDA tells me the remote computer is not responding, when it blatently is, cos i can dial it using my laptop.
Hi Dave,
If you are UK based T-Mobile have released their GPRS service last week. They have a number of packages including 0.075p per KB or £15 for 10MB.
Its not on their website but their staff know about it.
Simon.
Your settings are wrong. Put the correct settings in. Ask someone who knows what the correct settings are in order to discover the correct settings
Maybe it's not all about wrong settings.
After I tried to connect to O2 using GSM from Danmark last week, I called O2 Germany and they told me it won't work. They have no roaming partner for GPRS in some countries and they disabled the GSM for whatever reason. The old numbers I could use to dial in last year won't work any longer. I get timeout error messages or "The connection you dialed does not answer". (It doesn't say it don't exist!)
Considering to quit O2 and use T-D1 again instead. I am very disappointed by the O2 net coverage.

OK, some networks do not support GSM data, and frequently networks will not have GPRS agreements with other networks in other countries.
Can you register onto Telia? In Denmark I believe they have GSM data @ 9.6kbps
You also need to make sure that your home network enables 'full' GSM data, maybe that's what you meant in your post. If they switched it off ask them ever so politely if they'll turn it back on.
I connect to the net using the wap number which is included in o2 minutes on the 250 package, (the gsm internet number was not included minutes) you can change the number dialled in the connection settings box. also set it to "always dial"
check the number dialled as it puts a prefix depending on country settings etc you also need data enable on your sim which is done thru your gsm provider. Sorry if i'm saying the obvious... hope this is of help
Dave, you need to have T-Mobile enable CSD (Circuit Switched Data), which is off by default. There is no charge to have this enabled.

XDA2 O2 GSM Internet Settings Problems

I've just got an XDA, but am having problems connecting to the internet with it. I'm using GSM (O2 ConnectSettings screen has UK, PostPaid and GSM ticked) because I'm on the 200 minute tariff (at least for the next three months), don't want to pay the daft O2 GPRS costs and will never use the 200 minutes otherwise.
I ask it to connect to to the internet and it says "Dialing +447712932932", then after a few seconds it says "No modem at above number." Does anyone know what internet settings I should be using to get a connection? What about phone profile settings - does the +44 bit mean it's trying to get an international line? Is the number correct?
I mainly read/send email from a non-O2 POP mailbox, but also want to surf the web and have a play with WAP & O2 active.
Any comments about my GSM vs. GPRS thoughts. By the way, when I tried with GPRS (O2 ConnectSettings screen now has UK, PostPaid and GPRS ticked) I got the same error about there being no modem at the other end.
Cheers,
Phil.
Dead easy solution in the end. Apparently the person who swore blind that GSM and GPRS data had been turned on at the O2 end was wrong. So after some more calls to their helpline, it's finally working. God knows why they don't do this by default, since why else would you get an XDA if not for the data connection?
Cheers,
Phil.

Vodafone & GPRS

I have recently unlocked my phone so that I may use it on Vodafone as the O2 coverage in my area is not the best.
My question is is it possible to log onto to the Vodafone GPRS system with my XDA.
If so how do I configure my XDA so that it works.
Awaiting With Interset Your Replies
Andy
im having the same problem

Youll need a slieve or gps reciever for the nav system to work. it will work fine with vodaphone, just not on its own as a hand set.
Vodafone GPRS Settings
Hi Vodafone GPRS setting on XDA are as follows: Start/Setting then connection tab, click Connections and on My ISP, add a new modem connection. Enter name i.e. Vodafone then select modem type Cellular Line(GPRS).Internet Access point is 'Internet' if your on contract, and 'pp.vodafone..co.uk' if your on pay as you go. Next user name is web and password is web. That's it your done, go surf. :roll:
Re: Vodafone GPRS Settings
Tried your connection setup as suggested and got the message 'No modem at above number'. Any clue what next, Thanx
Vodafone GPRS Settings
As far as I can see these settings work fine on the XDA1, I do not have access to a XDA2 so i cannot confirm if these settings will work on XDA2.
Doh! after categorically stating I had followed gadgetnet's advice and couldn't still get web access on my xda2 I have to eat humble pie. Gadgetnet's advice is spot on but ofcourse technonerds like me have to first of all check that their service provider has GPRS enabled their sim cards. I got Vodafone to enable GPRS on my sim (simply a phone call request made to their call centre) and half an hour later I was surfin in fine style. Remember if you want to access Adult sites like the National Lottery you have to go on line by other means to the vodafone website and set it up. Takes about 15mins with credit card as ID of age.

Followed gadgetnet's instructions to the letter, worked a treat first time. Really impressed with the service far better thatn O2's. So thankyou gadgetnet.

Setting for ATT (I have an ATT 3G SIM Card) on my NEW TyTN

I have just received my new TyTN. I have no idea how to enter the settings for GPRS and / or HSDPA. Can anyone point me in the right direction. i was told because I am on the old ATT Charter Plan, my settings would be a little different than the regular cingular. Thanks in advance
I am assuming you mean Cingular in the US. If that's the case .. please check this thread out ..

I do not understand this enough to decipher your notes. Would you, or someone else be willing to help me out a bit and explain it, or walk me through it.
Thanks
Ok..I really need help and I hope someone is willing. I do not understand this stuff enough to figure out what the post above was.
I am making calls. Surfing the web, but I can not send Text Messages.
Would someone be kind enough to treat me like the moron I am, and explain what settings I need and where to enter them.
I am still on the ATT network and have not switched over to a cingular plan. I have the old ATT charter plan with unlimited data. Thanks in advance

Anytime I have switched to another unlocked GSM phone my TXT messaging always worked by default (someone correct me if I am wrong) but the message desk # is in the SIM Card.
I have the same exact plan as you do and probably the same SIM (blue one)
Does TXT messaging work on other phones?
I called Customer Service and they had accidently turned off the text messaging. Now I can send, but I still can not get pics.
to make matters worse, I can not connect to the Internet. I keep getting a message that says,
"Cannot conect for an unknown reason....."
Before speaking to customer service, I could connect. I had not entered any settings and I could connect.
I tried the above settings and get the same message.
Anyone have any suggestions?
ring them back and tell them they have prob switched you data plan off lol

Java - Would you believe that is exactly what happened? They "accidentally" turned it off. I had a number of blunders like that with them. I do wonder if it is because I still have the old ATT Charter Plan. I have unlimited phone everything for $99 and unlimited data for $24.99. They keep trying to make me switch, but I am like NO WAY. Stuff like this keeps happening to me. I do wonder if they do on purpose.

Touch HD and AT&T EDGE - Cannot Connect

Hello, Has anyone been able to connect to AT&T Edge on their Touch HD? I can't seem to connect to it. I tried the below settings and it still wouldn't connect. I have the PPC $30 unlimited data plan from AT&T. Please help!
1. Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Manage existing connections
3. If you see SingTel already in there, click edit. Otherwise, click New
4. Put in a new name (I just used "att")
5. Access point name: wap.cingular. Hit Next
6. User name: [email protected], password: cingular1, no domain
7. Hit Finish
I'm on ATT with my Touch HD and I have a big "E" on my status bar... I assume that means I'm on the edge network
I have edge on mine also. I connect using the media net @ $15 (unlimited data) a month. As att doesn't know what phone I have
Try to take your SIM card out, boot the phone, pull the battery out with the phone still on, then replace your SIM card & boot up again. 2nd, under MediaNet Settings, Proxy Tab, make sure that 1st box is checked only. The only other thing I can see different, CAPITALIZE the Username. Instead of "[email protected]" do "[email protected]" I don't know if that matters or not. Mine works fine & this is what I have. Good luck
i'm having the same problem with my touch hd ....new to at&t but it worked fine with my tmobile sim card .....only thing i can think of is cuz its a 3g sim card ????

why would you have singtel ?!??! my guess is when you first booted up the phone with your at&t sim card, you rushed through the sim/connection setup process, which is semi automatic. at some step during that process, you need to select the correct carrier from a drop down list. ALL carriers in that list will work.. with phone/celluar connection. but the data connect only works with your own, doesn't matter if you change the settings in a wrong provider afterwards. so my suggestions is. either you can keep on digging through the settings, and may be you will find the correct setting. or you can go to settings->connections-> delete all the connections, and reinsert your sim card and let the auto process take over and select the correct provider.
I had the same issue when I first received my phone as the connection setup wizard incorrectly setup AT&T. I deleted the settings and created a new "My ISP" with all the settings above. Then of course in "network management" make sure that the top box "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" select "My ISP"
i jus got my htc touch hd 2day but i cannt connect to the internet... i have the blackberry bold data plan... does that work or i have to change my data plan....
