**HELP** Trouble connecting to internet with Orange PAYG sim

I just today recieved my XDA 2 which was bought unlocked ready to use with my Orange PAYG SIM card. I Followed the instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7306&highlight=orange+gprs
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.
Dismiss
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've just got the above phone & seem to be able to get the GPRS connection but when I launch IE I get the message "Connection lost"
(But the GPRS still looks OK)
Any ideas would be gratefully received!

As I know, internet access is not available for O2 PAYG customer, it's only for pay monthly.
I got the same problem with O2 PAYG and everything was back to normal when I change the SIM card with O2 monthly or another PAYG (vodafone & t-mobile)

Thanks stones...........I've been in touch with O2 & they advised the same re the PAYG sim but didn't suggest another network. I should be able to get WAP sites with PAYG O2 but can't do that either at the moment.
I'm going to try one of the other networks
Thanks again

You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go GPRS full internet, but you will not be able to use outlook and MSN. However, it's still OK. To open MSN you can download Agile messenger. To access your email, just use the web access. You can only use 5MB for free on O2 PAYG. After that you will be charged.
Thanks go gugi_sat who helped me to solve the problem:

No My Work Network on conections screen
Hi;
I also know that OS payg customers can access gprs - i did on my last phone (Sony P800) with no problems. But now on the 2020 i can access GPRS but can not get web pages.
I see your settings for my work network - - but I do not have my work network on the connections page... what you are saying seems to make sense as my problems seems to be a DNS or gateway issue..
But now, how do I get my work network onto the connections settup page? It was there, but somehow with the scrambling around that I have done to get conencted to GPRS it has gorne away :-(
Thanks;

If in connections you go into the advanced tab, go into select networks, on the lower pul down menu you will find my work network, select this and hopefull when you go back it should now be there. Im a newbie but i think i just worked this out from playing.

Those settings about work a treat, thankyou ive been pulling my hair out all day trying to get it all to work,
mine does however let me use outlook to check my o2 email, bonus )

I'v got Cingular 8525 unlocked from USA. I connected it to Orange in Israel.
Device shows that he connected to UMTS (U) and calls are ok but I am unable to conect to Internet or send mail SMS and MMS. What should I do?
Is that related to ROM version

call your telco service department and ask them for the operator settings. you will have to configure your device network settings for MMS, internet access etc.

I too use my TyTN on Orange in Israel.
Go to [Start] [Settings] [Connections]
Click on add a new modem connection in MY ISP
Name it something like "Orange"
chooseCellular Line (GPRS, 3G) under select a modem.
click next
under acces point name type "internet" with no quotes.
leave user name password etc. blank
click on finish
i dont know if this is necessary, but mine is set up this way.
Go to [Start] [Settings] [Connections]
click on advanced tab
click on select networks
i choose My ISP under both boxes
click ok.
I think for sms you go to
cGo to [Start] [Settings]
click on phone
highlight voicemail and text messages click on get settings and it will automatically configure from the orane network.
What is amazing to me is that I uses a Moto Q on Verizon EVDO in the states and the TyTN on Orange Israel is faster and more stable in terms of holding the internet connection. I am trying to cancel my verizon plan so i can use the TyTN in the states on Cingular as well.

i'm french and i'm in israel now
i have a qtek 9100 and Orange , but with this settings i can't connect to internet in GPRS
can you help me ?

Most operators require independent activation of voice/SMS/data services while Roaming abroad.
SMS by themselves use to be activated by default, since most providers do not charge for "incoming" SMS while Roaming.
Data is a more complex issue, since this may require adjusting settings.
Hope it helps.

Problem connecting GPRS on t-mobile MDA

hi, i just got a t-mobile MDA vario. its working arite on my operator but the only problem im facing is that it doesnt connects with my operator's GPRS. ive tried using another operator but still im unable to connect or browse thru it. Their CSR told me to get it reinstalled with an i-mate kjam configurations.
can sumbody help me out with it???
tx

Since you say T-mobile MDA vario i am assuming your using T-mobile Uk, all you need to do is create a new connection and enter general.t-mobile.uk as ur APN and then connect, no other settings needed. leave the username and password blank...
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> Add a new modem connection (under my isp)> type in a connection name e.g My Connection select Cellular line (GPRS) as your modem> type the apn > blank username and pass> click connect and your done!!
hope that helps !

hey thx for the reply buddy, although i have a t-mobile mda vario but as i mentioned that im not using t-mobile services. I'm not even in uk is there any possibility that the gprs in this one is only compatible with t-mobile??? or is there anyother solution?

look on the ftp maybe for the extended roms of the imate or you can go online and lookup the settings that you would put into the connection part of the phone in the control panel.
who is your provider

Try hard resetting the device and try to connect again.
This has worked for me in the past when I had problems connecting.

im in pakistan. and i've configured my handset according to their settings but it's isnt working. i've checked with another operator but its of no use either.
can you please pass me the ftp link???

hard resetting goes like???
im a newbie

ok im done with the hard resetting, but its of no use in this case. where can i get ROM for its imate equivalent??

what if i have t-mobile mda in us what apn would i put?

knock knock... can somebody throw some light n help me out of it

Vodafone GRPS Settings

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
