Has anybody had any success with getting MMS to work with a virginmobile payasyougo Sim card
I have got normal internet browsing working but cannot get MMS to work
Spoke to virgin and they have given me the following settings

IP 193.30.166.1
IP Port 9201
APN goto.virginmobile.uk
Login ID user
Password Leave blank
Bearer GPRS
I have entered some of these settings into the Connection that MMS seems to be using but I dont know where to put in the
IP Port and Server URL
Can any one help
Thanks

I don't know which version of windows your using as the MMS composer is different in WM2003SE. I can tell you how I got mine working and its a 2 stage process:
Part 1
1. Create a new connection by coing to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the lower one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one below the "My Work Network" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin MMS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin MMS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is NOT ticked" and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:", change this back to "My Work Network" (or whatever was in this field before you started this process).
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as Part 1 is complete.
Part 2
1. You need to go into MMS composer.
2. In WM2003SE you need to go into the "Tools->MMS Settings" option.
3.0 On the "Preferences" tab, in the "Connect via:" option, enter/select "Virgin MMS".
3.1 On the "Servers" tab, tap on the "New" button.
3.2 Enter a "Server name:" of "Picture Message"
3.3 Enter a "Gateway:" of "193.30.166.1".
3.4 Enter a "Port number:" of "9201". Don't worry if you don't have a "Port number:" field as the system will default to this anyway.
3.5 Enter a "Server address" of "http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002" and then tap on the "OK" button.
3.6 Tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
That's the end of the two stages and you should now be able to send picture and video messages (I've tried both).
Two things to be aware of:
1. The send/receive does seem to take ages.
2. Don't try to send pictures which aren't JPG or BMP as they won't go and you end up thinking that there's a problem with your config. I speak from experience here.

GPRS settings on Vorgin?
Slightly Off topic but I'm trying to Use my xda 1 with virgin and am trying to get the GPRS set up and am struggling, is it essentially the same settings as these?
Many thanks
Nate :?:

The GPRS setting for internet access only involves 1 stage in order to set it up. It's almost exactly the same as the first part of MMS:
1. Create a new connection by going to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the upper one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one usually below the "My ISP" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin GPRS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin GPRS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is ticked and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:", ensure that the "Virgin GPRS" entry is displayed.
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as your connection set up is now complete. You shouldn't have to do any other config work to use the internet.
Ensure that when you try this connection that you don't have your XDA docked in its cradle or you won't be connecting via GPRS.
Happy surfing.

Thanks mate, thats done it. I have tried almost exactly that and didn't get it quiteright.
Appreciate the help.

Virgin MMS
Have entered this setup info into xda2 But it still wont connect and returns the following message
Dialed:gotovirginmobile.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To
check your connection settings and change
them if needed, tap Settings. If the
problem continues, reset your mobile device
according to your manufactures documentaion
and try again
Help
Thanks

If the above text is exactly what appears on your screen then your problem is easily fixed. It looks like your missing a full stop, i.e. "gotovirginmobile.uk" should be "goto.virginmobile.uk". This is the value you entered in step 4.4 of Part 1.
I tried removing the full stop on my M1000 and I got exactly the same error reported so this should hopefully sort the problem.

Virgin MMS
Sorry my mistake I had put goto.virginmobile.uk in at step 4.4
but omitted it from my previous post
Should the connection for MMS use the same one that internet explorer uses, that one uses one called MOBILE WEB GPRS that appears to have the same setup. Browsing on the internet works OK

How do i get gprs / gsm web access on Exec?

Hi,
Probably a simple question...
When i don't have wifi access, how do i get web access via gprs/gsm?

T-mobile internet settings

my 7500 arrived yesterday and i spent some time connecting the device with Tier 3 tech support from T-Mobile. (god i love t-mobile ) as long as you pay for the internet they could care less what you hook up.
anyway it appers that some phones had different settings on order to work.
if anyone is interested i will post them.
till then, the only problem i have encountered is the video is a little choppy with certain formats..

T-Mobile USA: Internet cheaper than $30?

Is there a way to get cheaper Internet access than T-Mobile USA's "Total Internet" at $29.99 per month? For example, I do not need their HotSpots, but they say I cannot remove it without removing the rest of the data plan. Any ideas?

I did a little shopping around. And it appears that the T-mobile Total Internet is the cheapest unlimited plan. The $30 internet is the reason why im moving from Cingular to T-Mobile. If i kept my existing voice plan with Cingular and added their unlimited internet id be paying $110/mo. I can get t-mobile voice with unlimited internet for $70/mo and have 300 more anytime minutes than with Cingular. There may be better deals out there or promotional packages but this was the absolute best ive found so far.
Shane

Aaahhh, the times when we could pay $6.99 for blackberry plan... OK, I guess I'll give up. Thanks, Shane.

you can log into u're t-mo account change u're phone to a blackberry and switch to the unlimited blackberry add-on $20 and switch u're phone back to the MDA. TADA.....you have unlimited internet for $10 cheaper.

try T-MobileWeb ($5.99)

i use T-MobileWeb ($5.99) and i get all the internet i want, don't ask them (tmobile)they can't explained but it works

T-Mobile Web does not work for me

I switched to that, and now I cannot send or receive emails (I use push email if that matters), and cannot browse (with Opera or with IE).
When I click Start - Settings - Connections - Connections - Manage Existing Connections, under there I have "wap.voicestream.com" for "Access point name". Do I need to change that to something else to get T-Mobile Web to work for me?

with tmobileWEB $5.99 you can only use the web browser because tmobile blocks all the ports but 8080 (if you have the proxies) which is used for http. If you want to use email and other apps then you need to go to your account @ tmobile.com and change your current phone for a blackberry, go to plans and services and select the $20.00 add-on internet and your done.

yes, the reason you dont get internet is because you havent setup the proxies. if you just want to use the internet then under connections click on manage existing.. and click on the proxies tab and check the box where it says this connection uses proxies (i think thats what it says) and input this in the space provided under it 216.155.165.50 and go to advance and make sure http is set to 216.155.165.50 :8080

I switched to the $20 Blackberry Internet add-on, and everything seems to work fine now. I just need to see if the bill will be for the $20, and I am all set.
Thanks a bunch, Andyjs.

right now i have total internet so either one is an improvement... so i'll try the tmobile web ($5.99, with correct proxy settings, i assume it allows for unlimited data usage) but is it the same "EDGE" speed as the blackberry add-on for $20?
Here's a thread on HoFo about this:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159857&page=1&pp=15

I found these directions via another post.
I have the 5.99 plan...I used this for a few mintues of internet browsing and yahoo messaging...gonna wait for my bill to see what kind of charges I may or may not have accrued.
1. Open up your keyboard and get out your stylus because it will make it easier
2. Start menu --> Settings
3. Go to 'Connections' tab
4. Then click on Connections app
5. Select 'Set up my proxy server'
6. Select the 'General' tab
7. On the general tab, name it "WAP" (or anything, really, that's just what I used) -- if you haven't messed with this before, it will say "My Work Network"
8. Select the 'Modem' tab
9. Click on New...
10. Name the connection "Tzones" (again, that's what I used)
11. Under modem, select 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
12. Click Next
13. Under access point name, type "wap.voicestream.com"
14. Click Next
15. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
16. Click on Advanced...
17. On the 'TCP/IP' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned IP address" is checked and that nothing else is checked or filled-in
18. On the 'Servers' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned addresses" is checked and that nothing else is checked or filled-in
19. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
20. Click Finish
21. Select the 'VPN' tab and make sure there is nothing here
22. Select the 'Proxy Settings' tab
23. Check the box "This network connects to the Internet"
24. Then you can check the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
25. Then type into the Proxy server box: 216.155.165.50:8080
26. Click on Advanced...
27. Click on "HTTP"
28. The server should read 216.155.165.50
29. Change the port number to 8080
30. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
31. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
32. And do the "ok" thing again
33. And "ok" one more time
34. Notice 1: at the top of the screen, it should say "WAP" (or whatever name you chose in step 7)
35. Notice 2: where before it said 'Set up my proxy server' now it should read 'Edit my proxy server' -- just FYI, don't touch
36. Click on the 'Advanced' tab
37. Click on "Select Networks"
38. Under both drop-down boxes, choose "WAP" (or the name you chose in step 7) -- I'm not sure the 2nd one needs to be the same, but what the heck, it worked for me; feel free to experiment
39. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
40. And do the "ok" thing again
41. Push the "e" on your MDA to launch Internet Explorer
42. Make sure you're not connected via the USB cable
43. Go to "Favorites" and choose one of the sites listed there and see if it works
44. If it works, congratulations! Stop here.
45. If it doesn't work, go back to step 1 or ask for help (but I'm no expert, so I think I'll leave it to others to help you)

working on a solution
Until i see the bill i can not confirm, but due to the fact they are wide open and you should be able to have data with out paying for it. I am basing this on the fact that like most companies their parameters are set from what is set up. hense the ability to simply tell them you have a black berry and your charge changes. The system does not set up your phohe it is simply a billing and database mule. With that being said i believe that if you have no data set up on your plan and you get the right proxy you can have full blown internet. I have a phone running full t mobile data but i have no data account. Have not seen the bill yet. My interests are not in the free data it's the voip over the gprs through the satellite.
Again we will see.

i currently am paying the $30 for the internet plan.. and i hate that i have to pay for a hotspot plan that i NEVER use.. does anyone know if theres anything we can do so that t-mobile seperates the internet plan from the hotspot plan.. like maybe a petition or something???

I called about the Hot Spot as well, it is a complete waste of money.
The only reason I have the $30 plan is because I use the browser all the time. Other than that, I don't use email, nor the hot spot. Would the 5.99 plan work for this? Has anyone seen extra charges?

i'm about to get the mda and was hoping to find out if having just the 5.99 one would work for browsing. i hope someone finds out soon.

Wow, I followed the 45 step program, and I'm able to browse and update weather and all that good stuff, and I don't even have a basic ($5.99) TZones account. Nowwww, we'll see what's on my next bill.

that 45 step program is detailed instructions on how to enter the information for GPRS on t-mobile USA. you will get charged whatever your data plan is for it's use. if you don't have a data plan, i think you get charged per kb used...

To Go
Do these setting's work for prepaid as well or is it only for contract?

i've been using this for a while.
but it stopped working
what gives?????

the answer is xda forums
And darling all it does is form a team so where thier is a will or anger frustration their is a sledge hammer to kick down that woderfull door.
Don't worry t-mobile for those oof you who don't know ride on top of cingular attt is trying to take the market stocks are flying but the y literally ride on top no pass like the uk
So just find another fixed plan and the proxy which will change again and then find your way out . i donut have t-mobile how ever i do have a very powerful girl that has been down as well so my guess is by next week some one else will pop the new door . They are wide open so don;t worry .
but 50 no more

Does the 45-step plan above still work on T-mobile network for getting unlimited unrestricted Internet for $5.99?

SPB Free Panel - Weather

Hello guys
I was wondering what your experiences are with the weather feature on the free SPB panel. Is the weather supposed to auto update? there is an option set to automatically update, but for some reason mine doesnt. But when im connected to wifi or active sync it updates.
I have made sure non of the other options are ticked like docked or free connection as I want it to update through GPRS.
Can someone tell me if its supposed to update through GPRS or whether its designed to update only through wi-fi and active sync.
I have a vodafone x1 if that helps.

I had the same problem, and fixed it by either:
1 - amending the MMS settings (voda sent me the settings which needed to be entered manually), if you're getting MMS messages OK then it isn't this.
2 - Change connection settings from post #7 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450502
Not sure which one it was cos I did them both at around the same time and noticed weather updates regularly then!

Sounds like you are using the Vodafone WAP settings to surf the web (classed as MyISP). This tends to block most requests that aren't done via a browser* and instead you should use Vodafone Internet settings (classed as WEB).
*that said quite a lot off apps now run over the WAP APN on Vodafone as they have tweaked the firewall

Does anyone know if I need to change any settings on AT&T? I love the graphics of this app, but it won't initiate its own internet connection. I have to check email or use the browser first to get the weather to update. I looked at SPB forums and no one knows why. Tried re-installing, but that didn't help either.

Thanks alot guys
Your help is greatfully appreciated.
for anyone who shares the problem:
On your Xperia go to....
