to allow internet access through orange but have nah problems. When attatched to the cradle with ActiveSync, the internet works fine. but when i try to connect to Orange GPRS it says "Connecting to GPRS for quite a while before saying...
Cannot Connect
Dialed : orangeinternet
No modem at above number. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings.

I went into the orange shop and they said they do not have internet settings for the phone as they do not produce it themselves.
I do not know what i have done wrong or how to change my settings so that i can connect to the internet out of my usb cradle.
Thanks for any help given...

...?
anybody?
Have you checked with Orange that they have activated gprs on your sim? O2 do not allow internet connection over gprs with a payg sim card, all that is allowed is wap over gprs although it is possible to access the web over gsm.
Thank you ever so much i had Orange enable GPRS and now i can use the internet on my Pay as You Go simcard wherever i want! Thanks! Anyone have any idea of how much GPRS costs on Orange?

Hi,
I am using a Orange SPV M1000 on vodafone sim. This month I got a bill of more than £60.00 for calls being made to a number +44 7973100500. Now I think this number is for connection to Orange WAP services.
I want to disable this. I have already deleted the phone numbers to the Orange CSD WAP, Orange WAP, Orange GPRS and Orange MMS.
I have also selected under settings -> Network management 'Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:' to 'My ISP'.
Even after changing these settings I am still being billed for the above said number.
Can anybody please help me out ASAP.
Thanks and regards,
RAJ
Have you tried removing all connections under settings/connections?

Thanks for your reply, I spoke to Orange today and I think I have now removed all the Orange connections from the settings.
The problem however also lies to the fact that it has connect to WAP all this time without my knowledge. I neither browse the internet from the PDA not have I got email setup on this PDA. I think, it always has connected to the Orange WAP after a soft reset. Orange seems to ignore this fact, saying that I am now with Vodafone so it is not their problem. Where as vodafone does not want to take the responsibility as it is not one of their phones.
The other problem is that, I cannot find out whether this phone is still connecting to the Orange WAP without my knowledge. Vodafone (rather singlepoint) can not find this out untill it is billed and it is too late by then. So, I end up paying a long bill. Its really annoying.
Is there anyway I can double check whether it is indeed connected when I soft reset it? Tried using IE but it says that you are not connected to internet.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Rajiv

Hi, got a new XDA Exec on 02 and am trying to work out how to get connected to the internet and email. Anyone got any recommendations for a good ISP? What is everyone else using?
Thanks for any help and happy new year!
hi!
happy new year to you too!
your ISP is actually your mobile carrier.... in your case, if you bought the exec from o2, then o2 are the isp
on an o2 exec, they are pre-configured for gprs or 3g internet access out of the box on the o2 network......providing you have used a sim that has data facilities enabled.....just click on the internet explorer icon and it should connect automatically
if you are using someone else's sim (i think the exec comes sim unlocked) then you will need to maually create the connections for that mobile provider (start, settings, connections, add new connection)
www.filesaveas.com/gprs.htm is a good source for all the major mobile providers settings
if you are connecting via wifi, then that is governed by the wifi device.....in hotspots it generally is pay as you go (btopenzone, tzones etc) but obvioulsy a home it is just picking up your home wifi connection
hope this helps!
Thanks!
Thanks for your help! I can now connect to the internet! I used the 02 settings. Also discovered the joy of there being Wifi at the station when the trains were cancelled but wasn't able to log on as it didn't accept the phone number it asked for when selecting O2 as the provider for some reason. Haven't worked out how to get email yet either but that's my next challenge!
Thanks again
Woke up in the morning and found MDA unable to connect via GPRS... keeps trying but cant connect.
-Checked ALL the settings
-Soft Reset/ Took Battery Out/ Took sim card out
-Hard reset
WILL NOT CONNECT TO GPRS
but connects to the net and am able to connect and check mail when connected to my PC via active sync...
can someone explain this to me...
T-mobile MDA support told me to have sim card tested at local store in another device...
please help
i would check if settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
was set to my ips or something to that effect
could be that your isp use it's name as setting or something
if it's set to my network or something like that it will only use activesync as connection
it's set to Tmobile data....
I've got the same trouble with my HERMES200...

on other phones my simcard works great with gprs!
P.P.S. Sorry for my english
I have a slight problem with my Vodafone GPRS settings. Whenever I try and connect to the internet on my phone, it now hijacks my actual phone connection.
I also can't connect to my internet when I'm on the phone. Slightly confused as to why this is happening =(
Before, the internet used to bring up a seperate connection in the notification manager. Now, it takes over my phone, so I can't actually receive calls when I'm on the internet =s
Any help would be great
sounds like you've got it connecting to WAP
It should be connected most of the time to "contract internet"

PLEASE STATE WHICH COUNTRY YOU ARE IN.
The settings are different for each country so you may end up putting in the wrong ones.
Hey sorry,
I'm based in the UK
Ok. With my internet connected to the Contract Internet, I can make calls and be on the net, but my Vodafone UK signal icon is gone from notifications. Yesterday it was still there when I was connected to the contract internet =s
