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 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

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
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!
Thanks :x

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 )
Hi
Can someone please help me with settings for my xda mini s for gprs? I have o2 3g payg sim now, but its rubbish, i have been going crazy trying to put in all these settings to get the net on my phone. What options do I have?My credit is rubbish so i cant get pay mthy sim.
Someone please help
went to use my O2 xda exec (with pay and go vodafone 3g aim inserted) to go on msn messenger but it wouldn't connect the previous day the same internet settings worked (pp.vodafone.co.uk for access point name and wap for both password and user). I tried using a few other connections i found by searching google but still no luck and i've tried using internet explorer to surf internet and again to connection.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
Could this be vodafone are not allowing pay and go internet services for universals in the uk like o2 well that was what i was told by staff at my local o2 shop reasoning for my switch to vodafone as this worked.
thanks.
