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
hi,
recently aquired O2 XDA mini s which i have installed virgin mobile SIM card
how do i get virgin mobile GPRS & MMS settings into XDA mini s
also,
using wanadoo wireless broadband at home and although XDA says network is available, i cant connect. i think it maybe something to do with WEP key for wanadoo which is 26 characters long (too long for xda?)
do i need to change this key to something shorter on router and all pc`s connected to it?
thanks

Hi,
I CAN connect my xda mini s using wi-fi at home, but whilst out & about i CANNOT connect to the web using GPRS. I have checked the setting in this forum & else where on the net, including o2's site, but still i cannot connect using GPRS. I am on o2 PAYG & i have read in places on the net that you can only connect to full internet access, using 'mobileweb' if you are on an o2 contract but with my last phone (nokia N80) i had no problems connecting via wi-fi at home & GPRS while i was out. I could even send & receive emails etc on my nokia n80 but for some reason on my xda mini s, it wont let me connect to the net using GPRS. Does anybody have any idea's what i could do to try & sort this problem out, as i need to be able to connect to the net whilst at home (wi-fi) & while i am out?
cheers

Does anyone know if it is possible (and if so, how?) to connect to a bluetooth PAN from an XDA mini 2?
It is so my girlfriends XDA on o2 could connect to the internet over my Compact 3 T-mobile gprs connection. I can get my laptop to connect over it fine, but can't find a way to get the XDA to connect.
When i try to connect a new modem connection using bluetooth it lists my phone fine, but under services either only "Serial Port" (when I am sharing bluetooth folder) or nothing listed. I would have expected "PAN" to be listed as a service?
Ah well, thanks if anyone can help.
Hello all,
I am on the verge of buying an xda mini s, and i have two questions.
Firstly, is it easy to unlock and if unlocked will it work on the '3' network.
Secondly, if i use the wifi facility will be network charge me to browse the internet in the same way they would if i connect via gprs/wap etc.
Thanks

WiFi conection won't generate any charge from your phone provider. With WiFi you conect to a Wireless router. This can be open (anyone can conect) and free, open but not free (Ej. Fon), or closed (with WEP, WPA, MAC filter, etc). Or you may not be able to conect at all because there are no available networks around.
Just be careful. If you activate WiFi but can't conect to any network, using internet will make the phone activate the GPRS, included the asociated phone bill.

Hi Sportyfr
The XDA Mini-S from O2 will be unlocked anyway.
Be aware that the XDA Mini S is "not" a 3G phone, if it does register, it may not work for long on the "3" network.
AIUI
When 3 spot it, your sim card could / will get barred pretty quick.
The 3G replacement for the XDA Mini-S was the O2 Trion aka the HTC Hermes.
BTW
T-Mobile do have WiFi included in some of their higher priced "Web and Walk" packages.
Hope it helps you or at least saves you some money.
