when I'm connected through gprs and log in to my bank or visa account..is there a way that they can get my ip or cell # to trace?
does sombody know?
Hi
Ip very easy. To know Your cell or LAC id is possible but they must have some agreement with you operator to receive that information......
Your IP will be the proxy IP your network uses to route all its IP traffic through to the Internet, so you can only ever be traced to their point of presence (T-Mobile UK's POP for example is in Germany, on the DTAG (Deutsche T-Mobile AG) network!) but yeah, if there was any criminal activity, the police could request - and obtain - details of the cell IDs and all that goodness from the network provider, and I'm sure your network provider keeps logs of which SIM account accesses what sites.
thanks for the info....

I resolved my problem, my provider have two APNs, for the WAP APN it needs an IP and for for the GPRS, the IP must be left blank,
I was entering the internet address, I leave the internet address filed blank and it is working fine now.
Hello, my provider is in Costa Rica, they have GPRS, and I have try every setting in my connections, but my phone will not connect to the internet.

Hi all,
I've been searching high and low for any help on using OpenVPN on my Rogers TyTN. Does anyone have experience with this? I cant connect via Wifi or GPRS and cannot seem to access my TAP device (never loads??).
Any help please!
Thanks.
Are you using the "basic" (standard?) GPRS/3G access point node (APN)? If you're connecting to internet.com, then you are and VPN apps (including the one built into WM) won't work. You need to call Rogers and up your data service to the "VPN" level. The APN for this is vpn.com. It will cost you $10 per month over and above what you're paying for data now.
Basically the difference is this: The internet.com APN is behind a NAT gateway (firewall). The IP address you get is a private address. Some ports (e.g. Port 47 needed for all VPN protocols) are blocked. The vpn.com APN is connected directly to the Internet and the IP address you get is a public Internet address. Lastly, no ports are blocked.
Hope this helps.

Background - I just bought a used 700wx from a friend and had it activated on my Cell provider, Sasktel, in SK, Canada. He had it on an expensive data plan and was tired of paying for this. A friend of a friend works for them and just transferred my account to this one from my previous phone, a Samsung A920 with Wap browsing. Sasktel provides their services using CDMA.
I would like to set up a WAP connection using this phone but am unable to find any connection software for this. The only connection I seem to be able to set up in system/connections are the TCPIP connections. I have the gateway IP address and port and my friends friend at Sasktel says that once I dial in with a wap connection, the authentication will automatically happen.
I have done some searching and seem to find that GSM phones have a GPRS setting that meets the requirements for a WAP connection ie; just the gateway and ports information.
Would anyone have any info that could help or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Carl
I don't think Treo will support WAP, the method of login is a bit different and not known by many people
Any Ozzie out there running the Virgin Mobile sim and has the set up config for internet & MMS?
I beleive they use the Optus network, but do not offer the WM based phones therefore Virgin offer no support.....
go to the connection part in settings and add new internet connection, for connection name call it virgininternet and click celluler line gprs/3g. call the access point name virgininternet again. onthe next part about domain name and passwordjust leave it blank and click finish. should now connect.
no idea about mms though
Can anyone please recommend a UK mobile provider that offers a public IP address (and that allows incoming connections) as part of their pay-as-you-go data plan?
I use 3G dongles hanging out of branch office routers (Draytek 2800s) as a backup internet route as a contingency in the case of an ADSL line failure, and until now I thought this solution worked quite well. However towards the backend of last week the ADSL line of our main office went down (or more accurately BT decided to randomly disconnect it!) and it was only then did I discover the ‘standard’ provision from Vodafone (via their ‘public’ APN of “internet”) is a private (Vodafone) IP address that is NAT’d through their proxies – this obviously works fine for outgoing connections but not for incoming connections (ie. to our mail server from the outside world, employees accessing our intranet and webmail from home etc). Further investigations suggest such a configuration is common practise amongst mobile providers and with it seemingly being confirmed Vodafone at least do not offer any alternative provision (with the exception of either a ‘vpn only’ APN which gives you a public IP address but blocks outgoing internet routing on most non-vpn protocols).
I have seen it suggested that Three do give you a public IP address (conflicting reports suggest this to be as standard or by request f.o.c.), similarly maybe Orange too. Can anyone please confirm/deny? To clarify I do not require a static IP address, just a publically addressable IP address that accepts incoming connections (and thus not NAT’d nor proxied), and ideally as part of a PAYG / top-up style plan (as these would be unused for most of the year, hopefully..!).
Many thanks in advance,
Simon
