Order Wireless Internet Express from Cingular. Online you can order the 1MB/month option, but no more. That's a good starting point, but you're going to chew through a meg very quickly so call them and ask for more. Try to deal: their unlimited plan is over twice as expensive as T-Mobile. I opted for the online because it was about 11:00 PM when I started this project. After about half an hour GPRS was working on my account.
Creating a Cingular Data Connection
Your next order of business is to create a data connection.
1 Tap Start->Settings->Connections and under My ISP tap Add a new modem connection.
2 Name it and choose a modem type of Cellular Line (GPRS)
3 Set the access point name to isp.cingular
4 Set the user name to [email protected] (case sensitive)
5 Set the password to ZXY203DC9K0402 (case sensitive)
6 Tap Finish to create the connection.
Next, ensure that your GPRS settings are correct.
1 Under Connections ensure that the CSD Line Type is set to 9600 bps(v.32).
2 Ensure that the connection element set to non-transparent.
3 Under GPRS Setting ensure that authentication is set to PAP and the class is 8.
Creating a Cingular WAP Connection
1 Tap Start->Settings->Connections and under My Work Network tap Add a new modem connection.
2 Name it and choose a modem type of Cellular Line (GPRS)
3 Set the access point name to wap.cingular
4 Set the user name to [email protected] (case sensitive)
5 Set the password to CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)
6 Tap Finish to create the connection.
7 Next, tap Set up my proxy server
8 Check both "This network connects to the internet" and "This network uses a proxy server". Don't provide a proxy server. Click Advanced.
9 Under WAP and Secure WAP set the following IP address: 66.209.11.61
Finally, in Internet Explorer navigate to http://device.home This takes you to the WAP portal of Cingular's My Wireless Window. You can get a free account there and setup the portal to your liking. It's low budget, but also low bandwidth.

still wont work. CAn anyone else help?
I did alot of the steps. I dont have alot of those especially cant find any GPRS setting tabs.

Hi guys,
Is any wizard user in delhi (India) using airtel as service provider?
The problem i'm facing is that i'm not able to send/recieve MMS messages on my O2 mini s.

Gateway : 100.1.201.172
Port : 9201
Server Address : http://100.1.201.171:10021/mmsc

Same problem once upon a time.
But I have found that I was able to sucessfully send an MMS at night. I mean very late night or early morning I should say. When I asked the helpdesk, they told me that I happen to be in a network congested area. But then she was kind enough to give a reset on my profile which took me out of the network for a couple of minutes. When I was latched again, viola !!! no problems !!
Try that.!
By the way, what speeds do you get ? I get an excellent speed in Mumbai on Airtel than on Orange. Orange sucks real bad these days.

Hi araje,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried the resetting thing also but it was of no use.
Anyway I've found out the solution to this problem. Actually the GPRS settings that we use, has got the problem. Here's what i did ...
I created a new GPRS connection with the name MMS ( Cellular line (GPRS)).
gave the access point as airtelmms.com
In the advanced tab use "server assigned IP address", and enable the box "Use Ip header compression".
Now comes the real part...... in the servers tab, use "specific server address" and specify DNS as 100.1.201.172 and press OK.
Now to use the MMS part u go to connection settings, connect using this new connection and u'll be able to send and recieve MMS with out any problems.
For browsing and all use the other (ur normal) GPRS connection.
Though switching between connections is a pain in the a** but as i don't use MMS too much, it's ok for once in a while.
Well, Airtel provides EDGE connection in delhi (that's what my phone indicates me :wink: ), but when i use it to download something on my pc it gives me a speed of 4-5 Kbps. Though it is not good to surf on pc (anyway i use broadband at home and work), but is good enough to work on my wizard.
Also i cannot complain about it coz i get it for 99 bucks a month ... so what else could u expect

Hey Vineet,
Are you able to connect to Airtel Live ?
From the website here are the settings. I have been able to set some stuff but points 8,9,10-14 are tricky. I tried following your settings you used for mms but didnt help. Any idea how to set this ?
1 Connection Name: Airtel Live!
2 Data Bearer: GPRS
3 Access Point Name: airtelfun.com
4 Username: MSISDN e.g. 91982xx xxxxx
5 Prompt Password: No
6 Password: < blank >
7 Homepage: http://live.airtel.in
8 Connection Security: Off
9 Session Mode: Permanent
In case of the WAP 2.0 complaint phones, the following extra settings need to be done:
Under Options > Advanced Settings
10 Phone IP Address: Automatic
11 Primary name server: 0.0.0.0
12 Second. Name server: 0.0.0.0
13 Proxy server. address: 100.1.200.99
14 Proxy port number: 8080

hey what phone are you using??
i've mentioned the settings for wizard (O2 mini s), iguess others will also have similar settings.... try that and let me know...

I am using Qtek9100 with AKU rom.
The new connection I created was exactly on your lines.

I set most of the stuff based on the way you created your connection. But how did you specify the port 9201. In my case I put the server ip mentioned in point13 in the DNS entry. But there isnt anyway to enter the port number.
Are you able to use the airtel live website ? Also one thing is that my Airtel mobile office works perfect since I dont have to enter any advance settings. Just the APN, and no userid/password. However, the airtel live website doesnt load with this connection. I use it mainly for laptop.
Thanks for your help in advance

Airtel Karnataka MMS settings
Those of us who have approached Airtel for help in configuring MMS on Windows Mobile devices know that their very competent customer service reps are blissfully unaware of the existence of Windows Mobile OS leave alone its variants like WM 5, WM 6 and 6.1. Ans when they direct one to their 'special GPRS helpdesk' the special GPRS guys haven't heard of anything newer than WM 5 because they attempt to walk one through the WM 5 UI.
Well to avoid calling Airtel, activate the MMS service on your account by sending a text message MMS ACTV to 222. Once the service is active, do not ask for MMS settings to be sent over the air as Windows Mobile doesn't accept OTA settings. Instead key-in the settings yourself:
MMS Settings for the Sony Ericssson X1i (Xperia)
Windows Mobile 6.1
1. Tap Start -> Settings
2. On the Settings screen tap on the Connections tab
3. Tap the Connections icon
4. Tap Manage Existing Connections
5. Tap on New to create a new data account

7. Choose Celular Line (GPRS, 3G) from the drop-down list under Select a modem
8. Tap Next
9. Type-in airtelmms.com under Acess point name
10. Tap Next
11. Leave the username, password and all other fields blank
12. Tap Finish
If there is more than one data connection configured on the Manage Existing Connections page, please ensure that the radio button beside Auto Pick is selected.
Tap OK to exit and tap OK once again to return to the main settings page.
Tap Start -> Messaging
Tap SMS \ MMS
Tap Menu -> MMS Options
Place a check mark beside the following:
• Save sent messages
• Allow delivery Report
• Allow Read report
Set the Retrieval mode to Auto
Set the Attempts before giving up to 3
Tap on Servers
Tap New
Under Server Name enter AirtelMMS or MMS
The Gateway should be set to 100.1.201.172
The Port number should be set to 8799
Enter http://100.1.201.171:10021/mmsc under server address
Under Connect Via, please choose the name of the data account created in step 6 above
Choose 100K as the send limit
And set the WAPVersion to WAP 2.0

3UK MMS Settings?

Hi
I've recently unlocked my vario 2 and having put my 3 usim in all is well..or almost! The only thing I'm struggling with is I cannot send or receive mms's. I've done some searches and can see others have had problems, and resolved them, but I'm struggling to work out where the changes have to go!
I've cut and paste a solution I've found which looks like it should do the trick, and have highlighted the stage where I'm having trouble...
First Created New Connection called 3 (Set this as default connection for internet etc.) I just use this one connection, all my email accounts, Laptop wireless modem etc. can connect through this.
Modem - Cellular Line (GPRS , 3G)
APN - three.co.uk
Username - leave blank
password - leave blank
Domain - leave blank
No need to do advanced settings. Click finish.
IN MESSAGING.....Menu > Tools > Options Click *MMS
Select servers tab.....Create new server called 3 MMS
Gateway - mms.three.co.uk
Port - 8799
Server address - http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
connect via - My ISP
Size Limit - 200K
Wap version - 2.0
When I go to Messaging>Tools>Options>Click *MMS...(my phone shows *SMS/MMS rather than just *MMS?)I dont have the servers tab to select? All I have is 2 check boxes, 'request delivery notifications' and 'Use unicode where necessary'
Can anybody help with how I get to these settings?
Thanks in advance!

Net access issues with telstra branded neon in UK

I'm got a Telstra (au) branded 20 key 4 band model. Have installed Virgin sim, which works fine for calls, but my net access is limited to Telstra sites. Have correctly installed the virgin 3G settings, have called both Virgin and HTC (uk) without any luck. Have tried the hard reset followed by soft reset option posted on another thread.
Any advice? (I don't want to flash a new rom etc since i don't have facilites for backup)

Try This, not sure if it will work
Go to Start --> Settings --> Connections Tab --> Connections --> Edit My Proxy Server and untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet."

it works!
but it is very slow - must be the virgin service i think.Thanks heaps - thought i had bought a very expensive vanilla phone handset.

The phone probably has all the Telstra Settings for accessing the internet, you will have to find out the Virgin UK settings and add them.

Help with GPRS settings

Hi,
I'm in a country where the operators don't have automatic configuration for GPRS. I have got the settings from the operators but don't know where to configure the X1 to do GPRS. I tried settings/connections/connection setup but it presents me with country selection and operator. My country isn't listed. Next I tried settings/connections/connections and add a new modem connection. Here I'm stuck cos I'm unable to put in the settings given to me by the operator which consist of:
username
password
accesspoint name, proxy and port.
I've put in these but X1 is always unable to connect.
Any help will be appreciated.

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Manage Exisiting Connections -> New...
Enter a name for the connection: Whatever you want (something like your Networks name should help later on)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GRPS, 3G)
next
Access point name: The one you got from your network
next
Username: The one you got from your network
Password: The one you got from your network
Domain: Leave blank
Fininsh
Proxy Settings
tick This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet
Proxy server: Enter IP address given by Network:Port number
OK
Fingers crossed this should work, haven't set up a new account in a while.

Sorry folks. I figured it out. I had to set the proxy in advanced. A bit of a drag I should think.
