I live in Holland. I have an Tmobile MDA2. It is simlock free. I have a contract with Telfort mobile phone company. (Telfort used to be O2 until O2 stopped operating in Holland). And I have my Telfort sim card in the MDA2.
But I can't get on the internet. And I cannot get settings from Telfort, (they say they don't support MDA's or Xda's anymore, and I can't get settings from Tmobile, unless I have a contract with them.
I'm stuck. I upgraded the MDA succesfully, to PPC 2003 SE with the "merged" upgrade from this site. Brilliant.
But I don't know how to get on the internet, or Email, etc.
Is there a way I can get on the internet?. Any settings or ideas please?
Don't know if this is too obvious, if you want to connect to the internet mobily (so not through ActiveSync) and not with a SD-WiFi card, you're probably referring to GPRS, wich uses your GSM antenna.
To be able to connect to a GPRS network, you need to have a GPRS account.
So, do you have a GPRS account with your Telfort account?
I'm also in the netherlands with a T-Mobile MDAII but use it with my T-Mobile acount that supports GPRS. It works fine (but is waaaay to expensive..)
Internet using MDAII
Just make a connection using Cellulair Line using the same ISP you use for your home-pc..
The speed is fair enough and will cost you the same as if you were just calling someone.
cellulair how?
thanks for your answer - I looked for Cellulair on google and nothing came up. Do you have more details or links so I can find it, please?
cellulair - its alright I've found the web site
cellulair - its alright I've found the web site - duh - it was obvious - www.cellulair.com. sorry to have bothered you - thanks again
Okay, 64,000 dollar question!
I have programmed my XDA to get on the internet using O2 GPRS for FREE (I have no contract and no credit) stay on the net 24/7!
Anyone know how to do this on a T-Mobile SIM?
Cheers
This forum rocks, such a great bunch of willing helpers
PS.
If you goto this link http://datasafe.port5.com at most you'll lose $4 but you might make a fortune! It's just a bit of fun guys
Maybe somebody could help me to connect XDA IIs with Meteor SIM to GPRS internet (ISP).
Thank you.
same here...
meteor help line is no use at all! "we don't support phones which we don't sell" what da hell? leave alone windows mobile devices - the never heard about them..
they got me really pissed off, so I rang them every day, until some superviser told me that he personally (!) will contact Qtek manufacturers and get the instruction on how to set up ISP GPRS manually... well we'll see
any updates I will post here
p.s. i have qtek s200 btw
OK I am guessing neither of you even attempted to google for meteor gprs settings, because the very first result gives you the wap, mms, and internet settings you need.
have bought an exec to use with my 3 sim on three network , has anyone any sites that have the 3g gprs settings etc mms files etc to set it up as three customer services just laugh and say, ooo we dont sell that fone , dont know good luck.....
any help would be great
thanks
I don't think that phone can work on 3 network. I think it is of an complete different 'frequency'. Can you make/receive phone calls using the 3 sim?
yes, calls work etc not tried a video call as yet but i know lots of fones dont work at all with the 3 sim but the exec does
Same here
I have been using O2 XDA Exec on 3UK. Same problem can not set up the GPRS or the MMS.
Help needed please.
weird thing has happened, flashed with the qtek rom and now it says i have down loaded an illegal rom and just reboots and resets , so i align screen, it customises then reboots and then shows illegal rom notice again, anyone had this or have i missed it in the search pages

You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.
In settings, connections tab, connections
advanced tab, select networks
new, and input the relevant info from here:
Data accounts: Create one called 3 GPRS.
APN: three.co.uk
Username:
Password:
Login request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address:
DNS address:
Authentication: Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compression: Off
MMS settings can be entered via outlook menu
gateway: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
proxy: 217.171.192.2
port: 8799
(account is the 3UK avvount above)
Not sure if u need to input the Video gateway.
If anyone know how to actually open the portal, plz help,
I think the problem is that the page detects what device you are using, and an exec is not on their list.
My A1000 uses Opera so it cant be that much different...
Thanx Aristotle
3GRPS seems to work ok, considering that on EXEC it will not display any service pages still but does connect to 3.
Though the MMS settings are not working. I am not able to download my MMS messages and send either any suggestions.
Thankyou in advance
In Australia, so for we have got the Universal to connect to planet3, 3G for internet access, and video calling. We still have not managed to get it working for mms, and video streaming.

Oh that's good, is there anything special you need to do to access planet 3? because I can connect, but can't load any pages.
I guess the video streaming is to do with the hutchkey plugin(???)
Aristotle, you're in the UK, and it's all firewalled on 3, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I know things are different in Australia (from the 3g forum).
That's why I left for t-mob: the irony is that the network that claims to be the most hi-tech is in fact the most low-tech of them all. On t-mob web and walk pro and the exec, you get full internet access (no restrictions), with infinite bandwith. That means during the day I remote-desktop to my home machine over 3G, then when I go home it switches calls to skype (I turn gprs off and wifi on), never worrrying about the bills. Try doing that on 3. :-/
lol.....well in australia we only really have one option for 3G at this stage, and thats 3.
walk into an optus store here asking about 3G, and if your lucky they know what your talking about, and at best they might be able to tell you that the broachers are coming.
Vodafone here, well not bad, but ask them anything outside what there trained to know and you might as well be talking egyptian.
telstra....lol....almost as bad as optus.....
Give us another 3 yrs....

Yeah, I know, thanks =/ it would be nice to see the F1 news and footie scores whilst on the train...
Used to be on T-mobile but it's reception was (and still is) awful where I live, drops more calls than 3.
Yep, wouldnt it be great to have a program that would have all the F1 details for the season and also sync options to get all the latest news, minute by minute race and qualifing updates....mmm....sounds very viable
sms
Hi guys,
Im also having a similar dillema to you guys.
Bought an SPV M5000 from ebay and unlocked with buzz's tool, but now using my 3 sim card I cant send any sms, or send/recieve any mms.
Im thinking I may just sell the phone on, wait until my contract expires, and get a new one on a proper contract with orange or O2 becuase im addicted to txting and its getting a bit annoying constantly swapping my sim into my A1000.
Thanx

omg
no offence, but...
universal is a 3g compatible phone - it will work with 3, vodafone 3, Australia 3, etc - it is designed to do that.
secondly - use the http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/7600/HutchKey as access to the portal - just make it your homepage. this one is for nokia, it works with me.
re sms - check the sms centre!!! thats all you have to do - call the support and they will give you the number.
confused
sorry to seem really thick ( I probably am), but where is the setting to change sms centre number on the unversal. Ive been through all settings and cant find it. I dont remember changing this on my A1000 when I flashed it with the non 3 Uk F/W
I've been told about this 3 network not compatible with any other phones except the phones that cames together with the package. I wonder why is it so? I mean, others are trying to lock the phone, so that it can't be used with other network. But locking the network to a certain phone doesn't make any business sense.
However, I've recently had a look on my friend's 3 network phone. And it seems that the phone main screen is flashing advertisements constantly. And, as far as I know, this 3 network is the cheapest to maintain so far, that's why many seems to be using it.
So, my current conclusion is that, they need a phone that has the ability for them to flash advertisements, if not, they won't let you have the cheap network rate without the ability for them to flash advert.

Hi igs, I can access some pages on planet 3, but not others, if I try for example the link you give for nokias, I get an error message (see below, sorry for the small image, can't find the right screenshot programme)
However, I can access some pages, e.g. checking my balance (see below), by typing the link. and if I click on the links from there, I can open some pages but not others.
These are my settings
I have APN: three.co.uk
Username password and domain are blank
Use server assigned IP address in TCP/IP and Servers
And nothing checked for proxy settings
Any ideas? Could it be that you have some plugin that I don't? Thanks....
Also ai118, I didnt need to specify a sms centre, it did it automatically...

hi there,
i've not been able to use the gprs/mobile internet with my new tytn11. i use aljawal service in saudi arabia, i have contacted them-they say they have no support or settings for htc, i also contacted cellucom where i purchased the phone and they are of no help. there must be a way around this, i know the proxy server address so, why won;t it work? can someone plz help me?
thanks alot
anne
p.,s. i once saw (forgot where now) on your site, someone sent configuration settings gprs for mobiley in ksa, therefore i had hope tht he or someone else can help me with aljawal/tytn11
Hi annyksa,
Im not an owner of a TyTNII (yet) but this might be of some help. I have a i-mate Jamin and have been using aljawal's gprs service for awhile now. Around Febuary this year it stopped working, I could connect to the gprs but not to the internet. I use the manual settings to set up my gprs, seeing aljawal does not support auto setup for HTC. It took me 2 months and countless hard resets to find what settings would work. I turned off the proxy (proxy.jawalnet.com.sa) and changed the gprs authentication from Pap to Chap. so even if aljawal had setup instructions for the TyTnII, it would probably be wrong. Good luck and let me know if you get it working, im not going to upgrade from my Jamin to a TytnII with no gprs
You may try this .....it may work

I just sold my HTC HD to a friend, but the problem is that we cant get it to send/recieve MMS!
I live in Sweden and the operator is Tele2/comviq, we have tried all the suggested settings on the Tele2 site, but it just refuses to connect!
I have never used MMS function as long as I had the phone, so I dont know if it worked before, but it dosent work now!
Could someone please help us, and tell if there is something wrong with the phone or if it is just a setting that we are missing!
I have not installed any custom roms, it still has the original wm 6.1 rom!
Thanks!
I had the same problem with T-Mobile and the only way I could get it to work was to turn off proxy server in the connections settings.

Thanks for the tip, I checked the connection settings, but there are no proxy servers active!
Any more suggestions?
Thanks!
it's not touch hd spc if I were you i'd search the networking it forum for your operator as all wm device owners share the same settings
Same problem
I am having all problem with mms (sending and receiving) aswell.
I think the problem comes from our htc hds and 3g n gsm.
When I use my sim card on another phone, i can easily send and receive.
I wonder if those recent roms don't affect the mms thing.
I tried the original rom of my hd with orange and I can send and receive without problem.
I believe there is something wrong with our settings.
