Guys
Firstly this is my first PDA so bear with me
I have just got a O2 XDA Atom
I have a prepaid Vodaphone sim which i use
I connected them up and got onto vodaphone to get it setup for GPRS
After an hour or so on the phone, we can seem to connect to them via GPRS but it will not load any web pages. They then informed me that the phone doesnt supposed WAP and so i cannot use it with there GPRS?
Is this true ? what are my options ? Its a lot of money to spend so i can use excel etc
Thanks for any help
Jason
Can anyone help me?
ive had the same problem with vodafone, have you tried a diffrent sim card in it? with mine think theres something up with my sim because any other vodafone sim works fine!
I am in a different country but I have had this problem with my local vodafone before. The sales people know nothing about gprs and other data services. I have been very clear to them an stated what I want to use a service for and after being assured everything is fine still nothing works. In the end for me the solution with vodafone was to move to a billed account. After that (and a phone call to activate it) all wap and gprs worked fine.

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

Hi,
I have been given a sim free HTC Tytn and want to use it with UK Vodafone. I currently have an ex-Orange SPV M2000 which i unlocked and it has been working fine with my Vodafone sim. With my M2000 i can make calls and browse the internet at the same time, but with the new Tytn i cannot do this
Is there a fix, should i upgrade it to the latest version or perhaps try and flash it with the V1605 Vodafone flash??
Advice really appreicated from one of the many knowledgeable people on here please,
Cheers
I upgraded my M2000 to a M3100 (with Orange UK) and they said I had to have a new sim. That could be it.
Alternatively when I got my M3100 it had a *very* early radio rom, and I had some probs receiving calls while browsing. Recent roms have sorted this, I think.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have installed the HTC UK Settings .CAB file from this helpful post
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
I can now access internet using my contract Orange contract sim card (which has GPRS activated) although if i am on the telephone i cannot go to browse without ending the telephone call.
my Vodafone contract sim needs updating so is not available for GPRS, but i presume this will be exactly the same.
Is it IMPOSSIBLE to use Internet browsing whilst making a telephone call??
All help appreciated, Many Thanks
if youre just on the GPRS network and not UTMS\HSPDA then yes its impossable to talk and surf. the whole point of 3G was to be able to do both at the same time. GPRS can only do one thing as the same with EDGE
so in short GPRS\EDGE = one thing at a time
UTMS\HSPDA = two things at the same time.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I have just spoken to Orange customer services and i do have a 3G sim card and it is active, is there anything i should be altering in the settings menu or anything other files that need to be flashed or installed onto the phone?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge - hope one of you experts can help!
Thank you
Can anyone help me pleasse????
Hi,
Now I successfuly got WM6 running I want to properly sort out my Himi to be about to MMS , browse and finally email.
I have seen so much conflicting info and setting advice I am truely lost.
I am presently on o2 payandgo and the sim definately was enabled for MMS in my old K700i phone.
Can someone talk me through whatever various new connections I must make to get the above working on o2.
I heard that maybe o2 doesn't allow GPRS browsing/email on pay&go sims. Can anyone comment ?
If anybody in the UK has got a Himi or similar running 100% with any other UK pay and go provider EG Voda, Orange , T-Mobile , Virgin , even Tesco then I
'd like to hear about it and share your setting details.
Thanks
I have two XDA Mini S phones, which I believe are fully unlocked. I am able to use a Vodaphone sim in them and everything works perfect. When I put my works Orange sim in them the phone works i.e. I can make and receive calls but the Sim Manager does not work. Which means I cannot access the contacts on the sim card or use the options menu to configure the phone. When I try to access the options menu I get the message " the phone is not ready, please wait 15 seconds and try again"
Has anyone else had this problem and gotten over or around it. I have spoken to both o2 and Orange and they are both an absolute waste of time. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.
Hi,
I am on orange too, also had the same trouble. I could make and receive calls, but could not access sim card to add contacts or send / receive texts. The XDA mini is a 2G phone, my orange sim is was a 3G. When I changed it for my wifes 2G orange sim, all worked perfectly, so we just swapped sims and phone numbers. Tried to get a 2G sim out of orange on my contratc, they were having none of it, said I would have to go PAYG. So I did the swap with the wife and extended the contract.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your advice Mlkey.
Following your response I contacted Orange and changed my works contract 3G sim for a 2G sim on contract. This still does not work and as usual I am getting no real help from Orange.
Looks like the only solution will be to change my mobile / pda, that is, unless anyone else has any other possible fix.
Are PAYG sim's different than contract sim's ??, if they are does anyone know if I were to get a PAYG sim that worked in my XDA would I be able to get my company number transfered to that sim and convert the sim from PAYG on to my works contract account ???.
I would appreciate all the help / advice I can get, before this drives me mad !!!

Fixed this problem by using the t-mobile 2.26 rom as described in "Definitive Guide to unblocking and rom upgrading g3 wizards
I am having exactly the same problem. My phone is a G4 and I believe it to be fully unlocked from o2. According to orange my sim is a G2 sim because the 7th number of the sim card begins with a 2 and not a 3. I cant even try a different rom because I can't connect to my computer with active sync through usb or bluetooth this has been for about a year now.I usually transfer files through a card reader. Can anybody help me because the deal with orange is really good but the phone is useless without sms or mms and I really dont want to change the phone.

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I have exactly the same problem . Has anyone found any solution to this/ Please help!
The solution is to upgrade the radio rom
I just buyed Touch Pro / Raphael from vodafone without branding (their hotline told me) and I need to use it with my t-mobile sim card until company contract would switched to vodafone.
I can do phone calls and also got internet configuration sms from t-mobile with "correct" settings. I also can receive emails from a pop3 account,
but I am not able to start eighter internet explorer or opera to get internet access.
When I use a prepaid vodafone sim card, opera will run, of course I changed back to vodafone settings.
My problem is that I need support, because I am on a business trip in dubai and need to have internet access with my phone.
ROM 1.90.162.5 Ger
09/24/08
Radio 1.02.25.19
Protocol 52.33.25.174
Many thanks in advance!!
Many thanks for your support! I am in trouble and nobody seems able or willing to help.
I have only internet access when i go in the hotel lobby and ask someone to share his computer...
i dont really understand what you want..
you want to use internet on your phone with your vodafone sim.
But its not connecting or....................... ??????
Raphael is vodafone branded or not, I do not exactly know.
I have a t-mobile sim card.
phonecalls and pop3 download of emails working, therefore I think it is not sim locked, but even with the correct internet profile from t-mobile installed, either opera nor explorer get internet access.
Do I need to supercid the phone?
Thans for your reply!!
Hmm.. i have to say that i dont have the answere.
but maybe post this also in the Raphael part of the forum.
maybe they know.
Under HTC Touch Elf, I had to do this :
in start menu : "settings"
"connections" tab
"connection setup" icon
then select my country and operator.
I'm not sure it'll work with a Raphael one... but anyway, try it!
