For all of you who have had difficulty setting up GPRS and MMS for the Virgin network then the comprehensive instructions in the attached document should put you on the right track.

Thanks Once Again
Best Regards
Cingular
I read the PDF on setting up with Virgin.
Any chance of getting a document on setting up with Cingular? I have a XDA IIs activated with Cingular and need help getting GPRS and MMS to work.
Cingular
Sorry but I don't think that I can help as I have no details for your network. More importantly, as I'm not a Cingular customer, I wouldn't be able to test that I was setting up and documenting the connections correctly. I was only able to produce this document because I'm on the Virgin network and it took a fair bit of trial and error to get the connections right.
Thanks a million
Unbelievably helpful - thanks! I too have been playing with the settings provided by Virgin, but the GPRS/MMS combination was proving tricky! Would you perhaps be willing to give this to Virgin for others to get easier access to (if they're interested) - they tried to help but in the end said 'we don't support your phone so you're on your own'...? Thanks again for a BRILLIANT help file. Keith.
Glad you found it useful.
I've sent a copy of the document to Virgin and they said they'd pass it on to the relevant department so that they can check it for correctness! It remains to be seen whether they'll actually use it officially or not.
Bump!
just bumping this as it's a really useful document!
does anyone know how we can create a CAB file from this?
Thanks
Just bought myself a "touch" and had a hell load of trouble getting gprs to work for Virgin. This actually got me up and running, thanks.
Thanks for the link just set up all my connections. It seems Virgin hasn;t taken up your offer of letting peeps know about your instructions.
Superb!
Virgin had no clue at all
I followed this, and bang - connected
1 note: If you get "could not connect for an unknown reason" just reset your phone
Thx for this
Just wondering if Virgin Network lets HTC Home Weather update over GPRS?
With O2 at moment, they don't! Home phone through Virgin so it could be cheaper.
Thanks
I have just set up my MDA Vario following your easy to use instructions, and I can now connect to the internet on Virgin (I have moved from T-Mobile). However, I cannot send an MMS message even though I have double checked the settings. Can you tell me if there is anything else that may need to be done, or have others had any similar problems?
great.....for the first time i could send/receive MMS

Clueless!!!
I have done all of this and keep getting the message gateway timeout
A big thanks for this post, it saved me a lot of grief, as mentioned earlier Virgin were worse than useless.
Newbie question
Thanks so much sbgorner - I'll show my ignorance here ! I have been able (when a signal is available) to connect via wifi which is, generally free. I have now, thanks to you, managed to set up a gprs connection (which costs via virgin) - I want to be sure that I ONLY use the gprs when i really have to - I've had a pretty good look but am not sure how I can tell which connection settings I'm using and how I can make sure the gprs is turned off when I don't want it. Thanks for your help. regards Roger
Hi me again - Happy new Year everybody. Another little problem - I can get on internet with these settings and RECEIVE emails but not SEND emails or MMS. Any suggestions much appreciated. Roger

Email
Hi, first off, thanks for the PDF. Brilliant, both MMS & GPRS working now. Something Virgin were not very helpful about.
I am trying to set up my email which is an NTL account but keep getting a message saying that it can't connect.
Any ideas if it is possible to set up email with Virgin?
Thanks.
received 3 Vodafone V1640's at work, and the little buggers don't have Pocket MSN installed, which means no MSN Messenger! have hunted around for the .exe but its no where to be seen
is anyone able to extract the necessary files to get Messenger working again? be much appreciated.
i'm quite surprised Vodafone havn't completed screwed the devices and put god awful themes/icons on them. the only things they do are add their own "inbox/sms/calender" icons to the Today screen which point to the same inbox etc as the default ones...
alex
Tell me what files you nedd and i'll try help
But i ask for a favour in return.
I have 02 xda exec in corporate mode. I have no connection settings for vodafone, I cant get mms working or nothing.
Id appreciate your settings.
I downloaded the latest rom from ftp and it doesnt put the connection settings into my exec, only puts in the mms settings under messaging/inbox, mms configuration
Ive tried allsorts of configurations to no avail. I just cant believe that the latest rom doesnt set up the connections automatically.
Voda Rom
Guys can you use vodafone live sucessfully on your universal, does it work with graphcs and live tv
Thankks
I cant get vodafone working full stop!
Cant find any instructions for connections that work.....
The Vodafone ext rom on the ftp doesnt set up connections after a hard reset
the bits n bats of info i pulled from posts here doesnt seem to work
theres no help on the vodafone web site bcos the VPA IV isnt available in UK yet it seems
Going around in circles, got an all singing/dancing device and I cant use it!
Voda
ok i will give you the settings that work for me now with vodafone
Go to start, settings, connections under isp add a new modem connection.
Select cellular line (gprs, 3G)
Call it vodafone internet
Access point name internet
user name web
passwordd web
that should give you a 3g internet connection, let me know how you get on
Cheers
Chris
is it as simple as that? there are no dns servers or anything?
Is there no modem connection under "My work network"
also under messaging>menu>mms configuration, could you give me these settings please?
Please Please if you have the time will you write all the settings down and where they are.
IE my isp, my work network, mms configuration, together with any dns servers/gateways etc
It Would be greatly appreciated.
BTW does your hard reset set up the connections to vodafone? if it does could you share your extended rom?
if you click on the signal strength icon then settings then band.... whats your setup in here?
sorry for pestering you with all these questions but im desperate to set this up, been messing about with his for a couple of days now.
BTW i installed the vodafone rom last night. Sure enough there are no messenger icons but if you use a thirdpary file explorer and browse to "\windows" you will find instmsgr.exe (this is messenger)
and
pmsn.exe, pmsnlauncher.exe & pmserver.exe (these are pocket msn)
I guess you could create shortcuts to these using something like resco file explorer and put the shortcuts in your start menu.
If these files are not present let me know, I can also copy you the shortcuts if your having trouble
I have a v1640, and have been wondering about pocket messenger.
Trying the above mentioned, i find that these files do not exist :S
Any help would be apreciated.
***UPDATE***
I called vodafone today, and after being bupmed about a bit, i was finally told that the v1640s should come with msn, as it is listed in the product description. I currently have a helpful tech looking into the options for me, and it would apear that some 1640s come with msn, and others don't.
I've got an XDA Exec which I use with a Vodafone 3G Sim, and the following settings work just fine for me:
Under Settings->Connections->MyISP I have the following:
Name: Vodafone GPRS
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point Name: internet
Username: [email protected]
Password: [email protected]
Under advanced, I have:
User server-assigned IP address under TCP/IP, and also under Servers.
All other entries are unchecked.
Under 'My Work Network', I have the following:
Name: Vodafone MMS
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point Name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: [email protected]
Password: [email protected]
Under advanced, I have:
User server-assigned IP address under TCP/IP, and also under Servers.
All other entries are unchecked.
If you now go into Pocket Outlook, you need to check your MMS settings. There should be an item at the bottom of the menu called 'MMS Configuration...'. Select it, and check the following:
Under preferences, I have the following checked:
Retrieve Messages Immediately
Download on home network only
Save sent messages
Under servers, I have an entry called 'Contract MMS', which has the following settings:
Server Name: Contract MMS
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 8799
Server address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Connect via: My Work Network
Sending size limitation: 100K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Using these settings, everything I've tried works just fine.
Bagpuss.
And setting up mms helps us get MSN messenger how????? These are phone distroed by voda, and already have the mms stuff setup.....
The MSN app was removed at the request of Vodafone Global.
Vodafone have a new version of VF-Messenger comming soon which has connectivity with MSN (http://www.vodafone.com/article_wit...LANGUAGE_ID%3D0%26CONTENT_ID%3D261956,00.html)
The v1240 (tornado) also doesnt have MSN in the ROM.
The spec sheets have very recently changed to include the miss communication that the devices have MSN.
For what I hear we have not seen half of what Vodafone are planning for the windows mobile devices.
All sounds good.... however my problem is I need msn messenger now and not in a few more months time
REDMOND, Wash., and NEWBURY, U.K. - 30 June 2005 - MSN and Vodafone plan to launch the enhanced messaging service in several European countries before the end of the year.

After some tooing and frowing from department to department, i managed to get a nice lady in TS to credit the £10.99 it would cost for the msn download.
The words "Its not the price, its the principal. Several of your competitors offer this device with msn messenger on it" seemed to work.

Where can you download it from? Seems odd to pay for msn messenger. Would have thought they'd encourage you to have it (rack up the gprs)
You can download it from the microsoft mobile site/msn messenger site.
However, there is word in the pipeline of a vodafone messenger that connects to the msn messenger network.
someone help please ... PocketMSN, Pocket MSN please .....
Hello everyone, i'm newbie here. I just bought a xda exec and i want to sign up for T-Mobile Total Internet in USA for GPRS service. I wonder if anybody has done it and how was it? How fast is it because as I contacted their customer service, they said they don't know anything about xda exec settings.
Thanks advanced for any reply.
Simple..
1) Make sure its unlocked
2) Get SIM card from T-mobile and insert
3) For intetnet go to Settings and then Connections
4) Under "My ISP" click "Add a new modem connection"
5) Name connection T-mobile
6) In the type of connection detail use "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)"
7) Access point will be - wap.voicestream.com
8) Click next, then click finish. Do not need the set any advanced settings or Passwords or login.
Just posted this on my MDA PRO with the newest DOPOD ROM
Connections are good, but othside the metro areas I havent had much luck WiFi works great.
7) Access point will be - wap.voicestream.com
----> T-Mobile offers 2 different data plans: if you go with the cheap one, named T-Mobile Web, you get access to the wap sites only, and you will be using the wap.voicestream.com access point.
If you go with the second plan (a lot more expensive) named Total Internet, you will hit the internet, and you will use the access point internet2.voicestream.com
Most people can hit most of the www by simply subscribing to the T-Mobile Web (the wap plan) and then configure the following proxy in the connection settings:
HTTP proxy: getmorespeed.voicestream.com port 8080.
Interesting.. since I have teh big plan.. will see how the other settigns work for me.
thanks,
Thanks for the reply, I think im gonna go with the big one since I use the T-Mobile Hot Spot too. Thanks so much though...
I tried the settings as you describe but my browser (IE) still returns an error stating that the page could not be located. I've been playing around with my Exec for 2 days now since it arrived and have yet to get this to work. Thanks in advance because I know you guys have alot of experience.
Dre
Thanks for all the information, my exeec is still on his way so I haven't really tried anything out yet. But one more question if someone could help, will I be able to access to free email services such as hotmail, yahoo mail? because my understanding is if you use the cheap plan one, you can browsing the websites but not be able to send/receive emails. Thanks,
hey
I use this already just use wap.voicestream.com. It doesn't matter the diffrences are one you have a public address and the other you have a private address. Everything works through wap.voicestream.com. Don't put the proxy settings in just the gprs
Can someone point me in the right direction I've doen numerous searchs and talked to tech support (useless) . I have a 8125 that I picked up, although I am a AT&T sim card user (our company hasn't upgraded yet) so I unlocked the phone and it works great. although I can not access mmode or anything email or Internet related unless using wifi.
Can someone point me in the right direction for some instructions on how to get this thing set up to work with the legacy AT&T wireless system?
You need to manually enter the AT&T GPRS and MMS settings.
Call up AT&T and ask for the necessary information. They'll give it to you.
PM me you're email address I have the cab file that I can send to you.

Well they don't exist anymore and the guys at Cingular could only get me so far. that's why I'm looking around for it.
Mark, you have a PM, thanks in advance
Cab file didnt work Mark. Only change it made was resetting my today backround to the default. all the settings are still the same.
is there a list of settings or a walk through for setting it up manually somewhere?
It should have worked.
Here is what I have:
MMS Configuration
Retrieve Messages Immediately
Save Sent Messages
Servers
AT-T MMSC
10.250.250.100
9201
http://mymsc.mymmode.com
My Work Network
100k
Wap 1.2
My ISP
AT-T Internet
Cellular Line (GPRS)
Proxy - Proxy Name
Work Network
AT-T WAP
Proxy - Proxy Name
Proxy
This network connects to the internet
This network uses a proxy server
WAP 10.250.250.250 9201
Secure WAP 10.250.250.250 9203
Hope this makes sense.
Another option is to go to the Cingular web page and choose Support, Phone/Device Support.
Select the following:
Network: former AT&T Wireless"
Manufacturer: Siemens
Model: SX66
Use the information in Device Setup to configure the browser/internet and MMS settings. It won't match exactly because the SX66 is a 2003 device, but you should be able to figure it out.
greetings from soaking wet and utterly drowned ireland,big up to everyone who has built this amazing site,cheers.
anyhoo thought i,d payback a bit.
here are the setings for 3 ireland for the spv m3100/hermes.these setting were arrived at after many many hours of fiddling and growing my very own ulcer.

APN- 3ireland.ie,leave all else blank and finish.this will be your default for internet access.
in messenging-menu-tools-options-*mms
Create new 3MMS

port-8799
server address-mms.um.3ireland.ie:10021/mmsc

dont rename the wap connection leave as my isp and only call the modem 3.
and thats it.the gateway was the key.
btw what about a new sticky for all the mirriad networks out there.these settings took for ever to find and then figure.
enjoy
MMS Settings not working
Thanks for the settings. I still can't get the MMS working on my TyTn on 3 Ireland network.
These are the settings I'm using:
MMS Server: "3MMS"

Connect Using: "My ISP"
"My ISP" Settings:
Modem:
3
Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
APN: 3ireland.ie
Proxy:
Nothing checked
Also, has anyone got Planet3 and services working for 3 Ireland?
check your mms apn it 3ireland.ie not ireland.ie,ive been using mms for 3 weeks now no worries with the posted setings.i can log onto the 3 web site,my 3 etc 3 mail is a bit of a pig as it is not tytn friendly,internet is proving a stumbler as i cant navigate away from 3 and cant download mail over gprs,there may be a proxy or port that need sopenong alternatively a slight change in the apn may be required.keep looking
Duh, got it now... Thanks stevieboy.
Server address should be: http://mms.um.3ireland.ie:10021/mmsc, dunno how I missed the 3 when putting that in...
I can access the internet and use exchange active sync and windows live over the 3 connection, I've got a mobile broadband bundle and it is working fine.
Some of the links of the 3 internet aren't working (complaining about incorrect handset, I've tried updating the User Agent string without any joy) and streaming media isn't working at all, comes up with a 'Failed to find network' message, but according to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313961 there is nothing that can be done about that.
ive managed to snarf a copy of the australian dopod wm6 upgrade pack for three AU. flashing your tytn/hermes would brand it as a three phone and i suspect open up the streaming and wider web access,but might be a bit limited in scope other wise ,i,ll atempt to extract the relevant bits and post back with results
so then i flashed the phone with the dopod AU rom,repackaged first as it wont work if you've oli'd your phone.made a note of the USER AGENT and had a good look around,some specific network stuff in the rom area but nothing to get excited over.reflased the phone with new rom and inputed the UA and bingo,full internet with working links from the 3 site,very few "not available on this handset" etc,pop mail etc all good.maybe i got lucky and dont realise it but who gives a fu.....
heres the UA...ppc;240x320:/E1000/mozilla/4.0.
the E1000 was my idea instead of dopod 838pro as the e1000 is supported by 3 here in eire,ive kept 'mise and compatible out of it as nothing else seemed to work.
anyway by accident or design this has worked for me and i'd be keen to see if anyone else can make a go of it
I haven't changed the UA string at all and EAS, POP3 and most internet sites work fine off the bat.
i got all 3 services working
http://mobile.3ireland.ie/sdf/quickmwnu/1001
thanks for the post savage,but whats in that link as i cant open it on the phone at the mo
Thanks for the info. Will try the settings next month when I come for a visit.
new update for three ireland,just follow link
