Great forum---I have purchased an unlocked 02 XDA II and I am trying to configure it for Cingular GPRS in the U.S.A. Cingular will not give support since the XDA is not sold by them or anyone else in the U.S. Cingular gave me settings for a SX66, but I can't seam to get it work.
Any help would be great.
How do I go about converting my T-mobile USA MDA to Cingular 8125??
I currently have the latest rom that was downloaded from t-mobile's website.
I am very new to this so any help will be appreciated!
Thanks again!
The 8125 has a different case and keyboard, so you won't be converting your MDA to anything. I think your saying that you will be using your MDA on Cingular's network.
First, you need to unlock your phone. Carriers lock phones so you can't use competitors' SIM cards. Search this forum for Lokiwiz, a program that unlocks your phone.
After inserting your Cingular SIM card, call Cingular and ask them for their data network settings. After changing the settings, you're done!
Phone is unlocked already...I did that about a week ago. I maily need cingular settings on my phone. like sms and gprs and also Internet.
This is why i just wanted to upgrade my rom to cingular 8125 rom if that is possible. becaus if i do that then I wont have to chagne any settings (at least that's what I think) but i m probably wrong.
Let me know when you get a momento!
Thank you!

As long as you have CID unlocked it, you can use the Cingular ROM.
What do you mean by CID unlocked???
I can put my cingular simcard in my phone and it works fine...does that mean my CID is unlocked???
It just means that your phone is SIM unlocked. Do a search of the forums for a how to CID unlock. This will allow you to put any of the other carrier's ROMs on your MDA including the Cingular one. However, you don't really need to put the Cingular ROM on your MDA. I have an 8125 and use it for my Cingular post-paid plan. I also have a T-Mo prepaid SIM that I use occasionally. I have different GPRS settings that I use to connect to the T-Mo GPRS data service and everything works fine. It sounds like you just need to alter your GPRS settings to register on the Cingular network.
Hay guys, I have a friend who sent me a Cingular 8125 (I live in the Australia) as a gift. I have successfully unlocked it and flash it with the Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP-fixed rom.
I use the vodaphone network in Aus. The only problem I am having, is when I try to use IE, our get to my email, the phone always tries to connect to Cingular's GPRS system instead of vodaphone.
I am assuming that I need to load a different generic rom so that it isn't locked to Cingular GPRS, can anyone point me in the right direction!
Thanks.
or just go into the connections menu and delete the cingular gprs connections and add your own for your provider in there.
Or I could just do that, I didn't realise GPRS was something you could setup (I thought the settings where pushed down from your network provider).
I have a vario II that was purchased in the UK. I am trying to use it in the USA and have it it sim and cid unlocked using the unlocker. The only network it seems to be able to find is Cingular. What am i missing to get it to find t-mobile.
thanks
