I´m traveling in Spain for the next few weeks, and I bought a Vodaphone pre-paid SIP. The manual (as much as I can understand it, which is not much) insists that GPRS (or at least WAP) is enabled (€0.02 a KB). When I turn the radio stack on, the "G" promptly appears in the status bar as soon as the network connection is acquired. I entered the following parameters (which I obtained from the web):
APN: airtelwap.es
User name: [email protected]
Password: wap125
In the instructions, there was also "Direccion IP" which I assume is a name server. I tried with or without it, but I can´t get to any web pages. The device (XDA II) connects to GPRS, but I can´t even ping what the IP stack says is my router.
Could someone please help me with this? The manual of the SIM says that it is a "self-rechargable" card (whatever that means). Is it possible that they only allow WAP, or I have to go through some sort of proxy?
My Spanish is extremely poor, and I´m sure nothing good will come out of trying to call tech support (after all, it never helps even with English-speaking operators in the States)
Thanks,
Mike.

I downloaded the T-Mobile (NL) application for PPC2002 ("T-Mobile GPRS Connect") which should take care of the GPRS connections, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about not able to open the modem connection (I'm using the Cellular Line modem): "Can not find the name of the serial port".
Anybody any ideas?
It is a nice utility which displays the speed, send/received bytes and connection time, but useless sofar...

hey marco,
i bought a t-mobile pocket pc in the US and unlocked it. With my vodafone sim i now can do everythinh with the device. So I know how to make a GPRS connection to Vodafone, but don't know the settings for t-mobile.
A few days ago I also tried to install t-mobile app. but it sucks. I suggest you try to find out the correct settings with t-mobile nl to make a descent GPRS setting and not use the t-mobile application

Hi guys,
I have the problem, that I cannot connect with GPRS. It always says that on the other side no modem is installed.
Provider: Shanghai Mobile / China Telecom
SIM: Prepaid (e-tong)
GPRS: "Business package" (inkl. 500 MB traffic)
Should you be using the same provider, I would be grateful for some screenshots (Chinese screenshots would be fine as well). I (and a member of the IT department) have already been calling 1860 several times and they told me that GPRS is already activated for my SIM, so that I should be able to connect. Only the business package will be activated on 05/01/04 but free GPRS should be working. What am I doing wrong? :roll:
For GPRS (no WAP) it is only necessary to make a new connection and enter "cmnet" as accesspoint, right? No proxy, no password and no username, right??
Please help...
May I copy from other site to solove this problem.
You must be set the APN to cmwap and then setup up the proxy sever to 10.0.0.172:80.
Please try it!
Thanks for your help but these are the settings for WAP via GPRS (please don't mind).
Meanwhile I figured out what the problem was: China Mobile did not activate my GPRS service although several agents at the hotline had confirmed that it was already opened.
GPRS (Internet, not WAP) just requires to enter "cmnet" as Access Point (APN) and then it works smoothly...
I've been discussing with China Mobile's hotline for more than 1.5 hours and spoke to five different agents. The horrible thing was, that four of them didn't even know what the difference between GPRS and WAP via GPRS is.
Having worked for a provider myself, I consider that quite astonishing (& frightening). China Mobile is the biggest provider (or at least one of them) worldwide, so that such a bad knowledge gap should really not appear.
For those guys with XDA in China: Shanghai Mobile offers a GPRS package with an included volume of 500MB for 200 RMB (appr. 20 Euro) monthly. You have to buy an eTong SIM card for that, activate the GPRS in any direct service shop of China Mobile and then you can start using your GPRS like hell, national GPRS roaming is supported and also inclusive.
That's a fair price and shows what is possible but not offered by European providers possibly due to margin reasons (they earn a hell of money with their business customers)...
I wish we could get that here, 20 euro for 500mb, :shock:
Good at PRICE, WORST AT service
Good at PRICE, WORST AT service
Thats it, PRICE is the only thing they offered
Certainly, it's only the price but as long as you can help yourself, you are well off...
how about the result of you?
As already pointed out, I figured out, what the problem was (GPRS not activated from provider's site, although hotline confirmed that it was active).
Now GPRS is running perfectly and GPRS WAP is also working fine...
8) Did anyone know the setting of China Mobile M-zone. I using it via cmwap. Also inform CS of China Mobile. But, still cannot active the CMnet.
Maybe GPRS Internet is not active or available for your card.
If your are trying to access the M-Zone WAP via CMNET this will fail as you need the GPRS WAP connection for that. So maybe GPRS is not supported for your SIM or the service is not activated for you (normally you have to apply via a form for it.
Third possibility is wrong setting - maybe you should call China Mobile and ask for the setting of your XDA2 (Chinese Name: Duopuda 696).
please can u attache here the cab file for china moblie GPRS settings for xdaII?
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.

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

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.
Hi
I bought the first imate jasjam I put my hands on last week; I had read all the reviews I could find and I "thought I did all the research before paying $1100". Well I guess I missed one thing: mtctouch (Lebanon Operator) declared the device "incompatible with their GPRS server" and they are not planning any upgrade for the moment; still no reply from i-mate on the matter.
Am I the only one with a device too advance for the telcom op.?
Can I upgrade or patch the radio stack to become "backward compatible"?
I am running" JASJAM_Arabic_1.20.305.3_1.20.304.104_1.07.03.10
Cheers
for time being use setting phone and under band insted of auto for network select GSM and for GSM/UMTS select GSM 900+1800+UTMS 2100 (first select) or other for your country.
Hi Ridaz,
There should be no reason why this device doesn't work on their GPRS netowkr unless they use a portal system which checks the model of the device connecting to 'taylor' the content to the device.
Tell me do mtctouch offer a internet only GPRS APN or only a GPRS WAP one? Hope you know what I mean bu the term APN. The TyTn in effect should be setup to use the internet one and the mtctouch GPRS network would just see it as a laptop PC.
Gav.
Hi
All 3G phones owners will have to wait until MTC finish upgrading their "equipment", hopefully mid December
Cheers
Interesting findings, but why is it that only certain PAYG SIMs can achieve a data connection with the Leo?
For instance, H3G and T-Mobile have no probs, yet the likes of O2 and Voda just won't have it (All UK networks i refer to)
After a chat with an O2 'rep' i'm told it can't be done with this handset, only on contract, but i have a tendancy not to believe this....
Surely there's a tweak/way around this?!?! My main interest is getting the data connection on O2
Any suggestions or could anyone explain why?
Thanks
I have PAYG or PAYT setup on my Leo. When first setting up (with a vodafone sim in my case) it will default to a contract plan, so you cant use data service and gives that annoying cannot connect warning popup.
You need to setup a new connection to allow this.
These are for Vodafone. For O2, I would search the O2 user forums for something similar.
Settings > All Settings > Connections > Connections
PAYT Internet
APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk
Username: web
Password: web
Thanks, i'll try that with Voda
With O2, i can't connect using;
mobile web
Cellular Line (GPRS)
mobile.o2.co.uk
UN: O2web
PW: password
Ah. all sorted using payandgo.o2.co.uk
Thanks
BTW, O2 customer service were blatantly lying AND giving me the wrong connection settings!!
O2 customer service i the worst, I had the touch diamond before (XDA Ignito) and they said i would never get mms or internet settings because they dont support it, yeah ok the Internet is loads better than customer service
