O2 XDA Exec and Blackberry Connect - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Just got Blackberry Connect from O2 for my XDA Exec (in spite of the shops and helpdesk telling me I couldn't!)
Email works (now) fine, can send/receive, took me a little while to get going.
BUT the O2 blurb talks (somewhere) about web browsing via the Blackberry.
I can't seem to get this going; if I set up new connection with the blackberry.net APN details it looks like it might work (ie load internet explorere, it connects but then fails to locate the web page I'm looking for).
Do I need any thing setting up at the O2 end or am I trying to do something that cannot be done?
I'm getting fed up of trying to get throught o someone at O2 that knows what they're on about AND if I cannot browse the web and get my email for the all-in £15/month bolt-on price, I don't want it!!
Any help/guidance appreciated.

o2 Pay & Go GPRS problems...

I always thought that pda&go sims wouldnt let you use the xda on the net.. but i managed to get normal websites loading OK before. Now its not working, it connects ok but no webpages load any ideas?
The only website you can get on pay and go GPRS is www.o2.co.uk and collect your o2 pop3 email using the apn payandgo.o2.co.uk
if you use dial up (915000) you can get full internet but obviously slower and costs more (depending on your tariff)

ISP for XDA Exec?

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

Blackberry Connecct on Tytn with O2 contract

I have a Blackberry on O2 that accesses our corporate BES but I wondered if I could get it on my Tytn if I moved the SIM and installed the desktop and PPC software. I did and eveything looked good, was getting mail but found the Services 'Blackberry [CMIME] is marked as disallowed and although I can receive email, I can't send. Anyone know if the are connected?
Also the Blackberry service does not start when I reset the Tytn, saying I have no connection so I have to manually start a GPRS connection and continually keep trying to re-connect, eventually it does but it would be great if the service could start automatically on reset with active connection. Does anyone know if there's specific settings I should be using for my setup? I'm using the desktop and ppc blackberry connect software found on the hermes FTP area.
Thanks in advance.!
POPSSIBLE i think, search for the subject in the TyTN upgrades forum section i think i saw a thread a few weeks ago on this...your SIM must have blackberry access so you should be ok?!
I'm almost there, I had to recreate my BES account so my service books come down fine and I can send email. The only problem I have now is that if I restart the tytn, the Blackberry service won't connect, I get either a message thats says 'NOT CONNECTED' or 'STOPPED'. Nothing else has changed and I have an active O2 GPRS connection on a Blackberry enabled SIM. Anyone else had this problem getting the Blackberry service to connect?

QTek 9000 on 3 network anybody?

I recently changed to the 3 network from o2 and I'm having real serious problems with email.
I have subscribed to the internet10 add-on and I want to be able to use it primarily for checking emails, however mobile Outlook is not connecting to my 1and1 server. I have no problem with my o2 SIM (with the o2 GPRS connection settings) or WLAN, so I know my settings are correct.
I have no problem surfing the internet using mobile IE, so the connection is set up OK, I just can't check my emails, which is really all I want to do.
Does anybody have any experience with this? I have tried using the search function, but "3" and "three" are such generic terms I'm getting about a million hits...:-/
Also, I could really use the 3/Qtek 9000 ROM so I have all the relevant 3 software. If anyone has that I'd be very grateful too!
Thanks in advance.
Is there really nobody here that is using a QTek 9000 on 3...?
Are you getting web pages on the 3Services connection with the internet pack? I.e you can browse outside the 3 garden like get SMH. If you can and outlook is not working try another mail program or try pinging it from the command line to test connectivity. You can use the task manager if you have the Helmi rom it comes build in to ping your mailserver. Or try pocketTTy to telnet to your mail server on ports 25 and 110. If you cannot telnet it's possible that 3 blocks incoming and outgoing port 25 and 110 connections to stop the use of other mailservers. You could try the 3Netaccess connection which is the same as connecting the to the internet but that is charged at $4 per mb unless you sign up for one of the internet packs. If you find you can telnet try another mail program like flex Mail.
Good luck

ha I just noticed that your are from England. We have the same addon pack in Australia. You can try what I suggested but the access points would change.
Hey guys!
I also use the 3 network, but I live in Austria. The problem is, that in Austria Three doesn't support the Qtek 9000, so I don't have the original ROM. Is it posible that someone could send me this ROM via email or rapidshare?
I got most of the things (like MMS, Planet3, Email) to work, but I sill can not watch mobile TV...
Can you please help me with this MobileTV thing?

Using another phones bluetooth web link

Hello,
Dunno if this has been mentioned before but:
I have an o2 xdaII with an o2 payandgo sim- apparently o2 block web access to payandgo customers so the pda will not access the web or any data service except MMS's. My normal phone has web access from a contract o2 sim. Is it possible to connect via bluetooth from the pda to the other phone and use this for web access on the pda. I could just swap the sims but I wanted to avoid this.
Ta.
Read this link, i 'm on O2 payandgo and get full internet access.

Thanks for that,
I can get onto pda.o2.co.uk and nothing else but at least the web is working to some degree.
My main reason for getting it working was to enable live traffic in Tomtom- It can now do that so thanks a lot
