gprs/networks settings for tesco-mobile - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hello all,
I've just managed to unlock (Thanks to buzz-lightyear!) my lovely uni from T-Mobile to be able to use my tesco simcard (until the vodaphone ones come through) I seem to be able to make/receive calls as I should be.
However, I got a message from tesco shortly after making my first call which said 'Your phone does not appear to be able to accept automatic settings, please call our care team on blah blah blah to resolve the problem'.
Did that and while the guy I spoke to had never heard of the handset, he provided me with a bunch of settings which I somehow need to stick into the system. They are as follows:
WAP
homepage = http://wap.tesco-mobile.com
apn address prepay.tesco-mobile.com
gateway 193.113.200.195
username tescowap
password password
port 9201
MMS
http://mmsc.mms.02.co.uk:8002
apn - prepay.tesco-mobile.com
ip = 193.113.200.195
username tescowap
password password
port 9201
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My question is this: Where and how do I get these settings into this phone. Is the gateway similar to the WINS? I'm not sure what I need to do here, I would dearly appreciate anyones help on this.
Also, I want to donate a few quid to buzz and here, but when I try to do it on buzz's site, the paypal site comes up in German. Any ideas there please?
Thanks very much.
Alan

I have no interest in MMS so cannot advise but about the wap/internet ...
AFAIK tesco mobile runs on O2 network. My O2 PAYG setting are as follows; settings, connections, advanced, set to my work network. Add a new modem connection. Put a name and choose "cellular line (GPRS)" Next enter apn address. Next enter username and password. Finish. Under proxy, tick "this network uses a proxy.." Put 193.113.200.195. Tap advanced and put 193.113.200.195:8080 for the first 3 and 193.113.200.195:1080 for the last. Soft reset.
If this doesn't work I would try your same APN. username and password, but without proxy.

triplejay, thanks very much!
I haven't done it yet but I have a feeling those settings are going to work. The IP address you have supplied is the same one the tesco mobile 'care team' member gave me. I didn't end up online, but I think because we didn't put a proxy in, he wasn't sure we needed one.
I'll give it a go and see what happens there.
Thanks again!

Sorry to drag this up, but has anyone else got this phone using a Tesco Mobile sim? For all I try, I cannot get MMS to work. If you do, please let me know all of the settings and where I need to put them into.
Cheers

Thanks triplejay, I followed your instructions and they are spot on. Also thanks to inksmithy for the info. Im back on the mobile web - yeha!! Good stuff fellas

GPRS settings

Hi,
I got this unit from ATT and now using with Cingular. I am trying to get to GPRS and internet settings for cingular. When I call them they say they don't know it since it is not their phone.
Is there anyone who managed to get the internet connection on another network? And how please?
Thanks,
Fatih
GPRS configuration
have the same problems. i got the MDA form T-mobile but need to use it with austrians mobilkom GPRS. I didnt manage to connect up to now!
I managed to get it working.
Here how it is:
Get the APN, user name and password info from your provider, and have your GPRS account activated.
For cingular users
APN: wap.cingular
USER: [email protected]
pWORD: CINGULAR1 (PAY ATTENTION TO LOWER/UPPER CASE)
Go to
>settings
>connections
>connections
>select "new"
>select "Cellular line GPRS"
>it will ask you APN
say connect.
Then it will ask user name and password. That's it.
Fatih
I'll try. thanx
Fatih,
I tried your settings and its ask for username, password, and domain. what should I put for domain?
No Domain Required
Just put in the info listed above. Then it will work great.
Good Luck!

Cingular 8125 on AT&T

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.

TMobile GPRS Settings on 8125

Can someone tell me what I need to do to get an Unlocked Cingular 8125 to work on TMobile so my GPRS and MMS work? I tried doing a search and a lot of irrelevant posts come up.
assuming you have a data plan, the gprs access point name is;
wap.voicestream.com
That should do it, there's not PW or other logon info you need to input.
http://www.t-zones.co.uk/en/Getting_started/help_with_tzones/mms.html
On all MMS handsets, ensure that the following has been set up:
Connection Name UK MMS
Data Bearer GPRS
Access Point name general.t-mobile.uk
User name user
Prompt password no
Password one2one
Authentication secure
Gateway IP address 149.254.211.010
Homepage http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002
Connection security off
Session mode Permanent
Where do I input these settings on the Phone? I actually found this site that looks like it has all the info.

3G connectivity plz help!

Those of you who are using 3G on your Uni, can you please check your settings and let me know what do I need to do in order to set up my 3G connectivity please!
I already have the following:
APN
IP Address
2 DSNs
however when I enter this information it doesn't seem to connect perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
I do have a data plan (3G) so that is not an issue which I am currently using with my iphone without any problems.
Thank you very much for your help!
Over 30 ppl read this post and none of you on 3G?
Please your help is greatly appreciated
Re 3G setting for a Uni,
Hi serjay,
Sorry for the wait I have only just come across your message. Here are the setting you need. I hope they work for you?
You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.
In settings, connections tab, connections
advanced tab, select networks
new, and input the relevant info from here:
Data accounts: Create one called 3 GPRS.
APN: three.co.uk
Username:
Password:
Login request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address:
DNS address:
Authentication: Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compression: Off
MMS settings can be entered via outlook menu
gateway: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
proxy: 217.171.192.2
port: 8799
(account is the 3UK avvount above)
Not sure if u need to input the Video gateway.
If anyone know how to actually open the portal, plz help,
I think the problem is that the page detects what device you are using, and an exec is not on their list
secondly - use the http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/7600/HutchKey as access to the portal - just make it your homepage. this one is for nokia, it works with me.
For those who won´t get the 3Zone to work, try the following:
Using a registry editor, find the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent
then edit the default value to "Nokia6680"
reset
and then surf to the 3Zone Homepage for a nokia 6680 (ask someone who has one to find the url out)
3 Reads the "User Agent" String of the browser yourphone uses to find out which phone you have.
With the trick above you configure the Pocket Internet Explorer of your universal to convince three it is indeed a nokia6680.
So normally you only get phones to work which three has in it´s program.
Regards
Michael.

Hi Michael, thank you for your help but I was unsuccessful; perhaps I’m doing something wrong.
This is what I’ve done:
Start
Settings
Connections Tab
Connections
Advanced Tab
Select Networks
New
Entered “3 GPRS” as my ISP name
Modem Tab
New
Renamed connections to “3G”
Selected a modem: Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)
Next
Entered Access point name:
Next
Entered User name, and password
Clicked Advanced
Selected “Use specific IP address” and entered the IP
Servers Tab
Selected “Use specific server address” and entered both the DSN and Alt DSN
Ok
Finish
Soft Reset
However I still can’t connect!!!
Please if you can provide further direction; hopefully I’ve done something wrong…
Hi serjay,
Sorry for the wait I have been on short break to Kent so I have not managed to come back to you.
All I can think of when I did it on mine was I left Username and Password blank and the IP adress as well.
I am sorry I can not help you any further because I use a Nokia N95 as my mane phone now and not the PDA.
thank you Michael for your help thus far, I guess I'll keep on trying.
Thank you..

Well, you have to notice the Uni is 4 years older than Iphone, so.... it´s no too bad. Remember when Uni came out no other device can do all that Uni!!
Uni it´s like the grandpa of all the new devices, so we have it some respect as even some of the today devices are not as good as UNI

SOS!! My HD2 cannot connect to web on O2 "Problem Solved"

Hi all,
I've got my sim-free HD2 from superetrader uk. But after inserting my o2 sim, I got a really big problem that I can't get to web!!
I used "O2" network settings found by HD2 automatically. But it always said
"Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection...blahblah"
when I tried to access 3G.
I've tried many ways suggested on the internet, including removing username and password in the connection settings, adding DNS ip, and even using hard reset. But thay can't work at all.
But my sim does work well(accessing 3G) in my HTC HD(that rom supports 3G and connection settings are with blank username, password and DNS).
I nearly suspect there is a manufacturing problem with my phone.
Plz help me! I've struggled for 2 days and gonna explode!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
To find a solution, please go to #6. Thanks!
can you try to go on the o2 site using your pc and download the settings to your phone via mms/sms
are you a payg customer
are you using pay as you go?
if so on my mates phone on O2 it downloads the wrong connection settings when it does the automatic setup and you need to edit them to get it to work
Find and edit the right name for your accesspoint.
At german o2 it is APN (Zugriffspunkt) : webmobil1
Thank you all!!
You helpful guys all hit the point!!
Exactly I am a pay & go user.
After I got your replys, I asked my friend who also uses O2 pay&go with S1. He told me a different APN. Then I tried and it worked!!
So it's right a wrong access point name setting problem.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AGAIN!!
Here are my correct connection settings for UK O2 PAY & GO USER WITH A SIM FREE HD2 if you undergo a pain with accessing internet:
Settings - Wireless controls - Menu - Connections - Add a new modem connection
[you can delete all other connections first if you only use o2 mobile internet]
Enter a name for the connection: mobile web (whatever you like)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Next.
Access point name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Next.
User name:
Password:
Domain:
(These three items are all left BLANK)
Advanced...
(Just use the default settings)
Finish.
OK.
OK.
Close.
Now it works.
Alternatively, you can use automatic config by choosing O2 from network database of HD2. Then you can just manage the connection "moblie web" by changing access poing name to payandgo.o2.co.uk and deleting both username and password.
Hope that's clear!
Thank you loads! I was having the same problem and thanks to this post I managed to sort it! Nice to know the automatic O2 settings thing works about as well as a chocolate teapot!
Again thanks
