O2 XDA - O2 Service Provider - Got MMS and GPRS all working

Hello there,
I have just got MMS and GPRS working on my O2 XDA. Very happy about this! I phoned up O2 and verified that MMS was enabled on my account, which it was. (I am billed by O2 theirselves as my service provider, not sure if that makes a difference)
Here is how I did it (Note, I am using WM2003, your results may differ if you use PPC2002)
Setting up GPRS
- Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
- Under My Work Network > Add a new modem connection
- Enter a name: <Enter anything, I called mine GPRS>
- Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
- Access Point Name: mobile.02.co.uk
- user name: web
- password: web
- leave advanced as default
- Click finish
- Click ok to go back to connections menu
- At bottom tab, select advanced > select networks
- Change both pull down menus to My Work Network
That has set up your GPRS connection. To connect to it manually, press the little umbrella symbol that shows your connection and select connect to GPRS. Once it has connected the arrows will appear
Setting up MMS
- Download EZ Wap 2.5 from www.yorch.net
- Install
- Go into the EZOS EzWAP program (not the MMS one for now)
- Select Tools > Options
General
- Select your GPRS connection that you set up from the pull down menu (i.e mine is called GPRS)
- Connect Automatically: Ticked
- All others default
Connection
- Select Gateway as connection type
- Address: 193.113.200.195
- Port: 9201
- Connectionless Gateway: Unticked
- WTLS secured connection: Unticked
- All others default
Push
- Enable Push: Ticked
- Address: Leave empty
- Port: 2901
- Connectionless push gateway: Ticked
- WTLS secured connection: Unticked
History/Cache and Identification can be left as default
MMS
- Message Server: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
- Sender Address Type: Phone Number
- Sender Address: Your telephone number, in the format +44... (i.e +447793 etc etc)
MMS Options
- Message Expiry: Max
- Delivery Report: Ticked
- Read Report: Ticked
- Hide Sender: Unticked
Okay, I think about covers it, those settings work for me, I can send and receive messages on my XDA 1.
Any questions, please ask
Daniel

The bills will always say o2 unless you're with singlepoint or carphone warehouse
If the number ends in 3333 or 3543 you're with dyce. When it ends in 0202 thats the new geneva or gateway.

ive always had GPRS and mms owrking on my xda on PAYG
just on PAYG you cant surf the net with GPRS only WAP but you can use WAP to surf the net so all is good

dannay - mms on xda
do you have an xda 1 on pay monthly contract?
i've been trying in vain to get mms working on mine.
i'm running ppc2002 on my xda1.......................does anyone know how to get wm2003 running on it? (where do I get it and how do I go about putting it on?)
might be asking obvious questions - but im a newbie!

it's nearly to do with Vodafone GPRS/MMS....

Hi all, sorry to bother you with this one!
I got my O2 XDAII unlocked and used it with no drama at all with my Vodafone SIM. I then put the GPRS settings in and it worked fine with MSN Messenger and IE etc. I then put the MMS settings in and started sending and receiving picture messages perfectly. :lol:
The problem, i hear you ask....
Well, I got TomTom 3 and a program called POI Warner which is used to alert me of POI's (read, speed cameras :wink: ) and it wanted to connect to the Internet to update it's database. It always used to try once i'd dropped the XDA in the cradle. As something wasn't right somewhere, it used to lock up the XDA until it gave up trying and then it would release the XDA so that i could use it again. This all seemed to be because of the Activesync passthrough settings. :?
I set them as I should have (after reading on here what to do - thanks!) and then it worked fine. Still with me...??????
It seems that i can't send picture message anymore :shock:
I have all the settings from the other posts on here but somehow, my settings in the connections screen have gone loopy.
Can someone on Vodafone PLEASE PLEASE let me know what settings they have in the connections screen, be it two sets (My Work Settings and another) or (Vodafone GPRS and Vodafone MMS - as i used to have). And when you click the advanced tab at the bottom of the connection screens, which programs do you have for 'Programs that connect to the internet should use' and programs that connect to a private network should use'???
when you edit either of these, it comes up with ANOTHER connection screen - what you have got in there??
This is on top of the Server mentioned in the MMS composer screen that needs another mention of the same server in there!!!
If I can get this working with someone's help , I hereby promise to take a screenshot of every screen I have and put an idiots guide to getting this working up on the Web should I need it again!!
thanks in advance Guys!!

Firstly to clean things up a bit it'd look in the registry under [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations] and remove all but:
'The Internet'
'Work'
'My Work Network' - or whatever it was renamed to
'My ISP' - or whatever it was renamed to
Then resetup all the connections.....
Here are the settings I have, which work perfectly.
Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
Vodafone Internet (My ISP renamed)
Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:
Vodafone Live! (My Work Network renamed)
Settings:
Vodafone Internet

Name: Internet GPRS
modem type: Cellular Line (GPRS)

XDA 2 in need of GPRS & WAP & MMS settings for VodaF

Hi guys,
I'm giving my sister my old XDA 2 for Christmas (finally have the very slow XDA exec!) I've unlocked it and have a Vodafone PAYG sim card installed - running fine. I just need the connection settings so I can enable it to go online and send Media messages. Any one have a clue? It would mean so much to me - and I'll make a donation to the site if any tips work on my old phone.
cheers
Will

Voda settings
To set up Internet access on the device:
1. Click on START.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Click on Connections at bottom of screen.
4. Click on Connections icon at top right of screen.
5. Under ISP click on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter a name for the connection (e.g. Internet).
7. Under Select a modem, choose Cellular line (GPRS).
8. Click Next.
9. Under Access point name type internet (note: this is case sensitive).
10. Click Next.
11. Under User name type web (note: this is case sensitive).
12. Under Password type web (note: this is case sensitive).
13. Click Finish.
14. The QTEK is now configured to use Vodafone GPRS.
Double check that the device is using this modem connection as its default connection by going into ‘Manage existing connections’ (Start, Settings, Connections, Connections), and ensuring that the black bullet point is next to the account that you have just created.
Setting up MMS:
Go to the messages section (Start, Messaging) and browse to the MMS inbox (using the drop down box labelled inbox in the left hand corner of the screen).
Select Menu (bottom right of screen) and select MMS Configuration.
The device should already have an account present and on the first screen the tick boxes that are checked are for your own personal choice (the ones on this device have ‘retrieve messages immediately’, ‘download on home network only’, and ‘save sent messages’ ticked.
On the Servers tab you should have a ‘Contract MMS’ account already created. If this is the case you’ll need to select the account and choose ‘Set as Default’.
If you do not have this account already created you should choose ‘New’ and enter the following details:
Server name: Vodafone MMSC
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Connect via: The WAP Network
Sending Size limitation: 100k (recommended – but you may change this if you wish)
WAP Version: WAP 1.2
By the way.....
If the GPRS fails to connect first time you may need to click the antenna icon near the signal reception and 'turn on flight mode'. This will disable the phone recption. Then click again and 'turn off flight mode' to reactivate the phone reception. It should then connect ok (by going into Internet Explorer and trying to get to a web page of your choice).

Hi
This are the setting that you need:
Make or edit a connection under My isp
APN: internet
Password: web
Username: web
Make or edit a connection under My Work Network this is needed for MMS
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: [email protected]
Password: user
Go to your messanger and configure the MMS Configuration under server make or edit the server:
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
That is all you need good luck and merry christmas.
Ciao

thanks!!
Thanks guys, worked a treat. I've donated 10 euros to the site.

Is any wizard user in delhi (India) using airtel as service provider?
The problem i'm facing is that i'm not able to send/recieve MMS messages on my O2 mini s.

The GPRS and rest of the things like sms, mail etc are working fine.
Here are the settings they gave me
Server Name : Airtel MMS
Gateway : 100.1.201.172
Port : 9201
Server Address : http://100.1.201.171:10021/mmsc

Same problem once upon a time.
But I have found that I was able to sucessfully send an MMS at night. I mean very late night or early morning I should say. When I asked the helpdesk, they told me that I happen to be in a network congested area. But then she was kind enough to give a reset on my profile which took me out of the network for a couple of minutes. When I was latched again, viola !!! no problems !!
Try that.!
By the way, what speeds do you get ? I get an excellent speed in Mumbai on Airtel than on Orange. Orange sucks real bad these days.

Hi araje,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried the resetting thing also but it was of no use.
Anyway I've found out the solution to this problem. Actually the GPRS settings that we use, has got the problem. Here's what i did ...
I created a new GPRS connection with the name MMS ( Cellular line (GPRS)).
gave the access point as airtelmms.com
In the advanced tab use "server assigned IP address", and enable the box "Use Ip header compression".
Now comes the real part...... in the servers tab, use "specific server address" and specify DNS as 100.1.201.172 and press OK.
Now to use the MMS part u go to connection settings, connect using this new connection and u'll be able to send and recieve MMS with out any problems.
For browsing and all use the other (ur normal) GPRS connection.
Though switching between connections is a pain in the a** but as i don't use MMS too much, it's ok for once in a while.
Well, Airtel provides EDGE connection in delhi (that's what my phone indicates me :wink: ), but when i use it to download something on my pc it gives me a speed of 4-5 Kbps. Though it is not good to surf on pc (anyway i use broadband at home and work), but is good enough to work on my wizard.
Also i cannot complain about it coz i get it for 99 bucks a month ... so what else could u expect
Vineet

Hey Vineet,
Are you able to connect to Airtel Live ?
From the website here are the settings. I have been able to set some stuff but points 8,9,10-14 are tricky. I tried following your settings you used for mms but didnt help. Any idea how to set this ?
1 Connection Name: Airtel Live!
2 Data Bearer: GPRS
3 Access Point Name: airtelfun.com
4 Username: MSISDN e.g. 91982xx xxxxx
5 Prompt Password: No
6 Password: < blank >
7 Homepage: http://live.airtel.in
8 Connection Security: Off
9 Session Mode: Permanent
In case of the WAP 2.0 complaint phones, the following extra settings need to be done:
Under Options > Advanced Settings
10 Phone IP Address: Automatic
11 Primary name server: 0.0.0.0
12 Second. Name server: 0.0.0.0
13 Proxy server. address: 100.1.200.99
14 Proxy port number: 8080

hey what phone are you using??
i've mentioned the settings for wizard (O2 mini s), iguess others will also have similar settings.... try that and let me know...

I am using Qtek9100 with AKU rom.
The new connection I created was exactly on your lines.

I set most of the stuff based on the way you created your connection. But how did you specify the port 9201. In my case I put the server ip mentioned in point13 in the DNS entry. But there isnt anyway to enter the port number.
Are you able to use the airtel live website ? Also one thing is that my Airtel mobile office works perfect since I dont have to enter any advance settings. Just the APN, and no userid/password. However, the airtel live website doesnt load with this connection. I use it mainly for laptop.
Thanks for your help in advance

Airtel Karnataka MMS settings
Those of us who have approached Airtel for help in configuring MMS on Windows Mobile devices know that their very competent customer service reps are blissfully unaware of the existence of Windows Mobile OS leave alone its variants like WM 5, WM 6 and 6.1. Ans when they direct one to their 'special GPRS helpdesk' the special GPRS guys haven't heard of anything newer than WM 5 because they attempt to walk one through the WM 5 UI.
Well to avoid calling Airtel, activate the MMS service on your account by sending a text message MMS ACTV to 222. Once the service is active, do not ask for MMS settings to be sent over the air as Windows Mobile doesn't accept OTA settings. Instead key-in the settings yourself:
MMS Settings for the Sony Ericssson X1i (Xperia)
Windows Mobile 6.1
1. Tap Start -> Settings
2. On the Settings screen tap on the Connections tab
3. Tap the Connections icon
4. Tap Manage Existing Connections
5. Tap on New to create a new data account
6. Type-in AirtelMMS or MMS under Enter a name for the connection
7. Choose Celular Line (GPRS, 3G) from the drop-down list under Select a modem
8. Tap Next
9. Type-in airtelmms.com under Acess point name
10. Tap Next
11. Leave the username, password and all other fields blank
12. Tap Finish
If there is more than one data connection configured on the Manage Existing Connections page, please ensure that the radio button beside Auto Pick is selected.
Tap OK to exit and tap OK once again to return to the main settings page.
Tap Start -> Messaging
Tap SMS \ MMS
Tap Menu -> MMS Options
Place a check mark beside the following:
• Save sent messages
• Allow delivery Report
• Allow Read report
Set the Retrieval mode to Auto
Set the Attempts before giving up to 3
Tap on Servers
Tap New
Under Server Name enter AirtelMMS or MMS
The Gateway should be set to 100.1.201.172
The Port number should be set to 8799
Enter http://100.1.201.171:10021/mmsc under server address
Under Connect Via, please choose the name of the data account created in step 6 above
Choose 100K as the send limit
And set the WAPVersion to WAP 2.0
Tap Done
Tap OK to return to SMS \ MMS
and bob's your uncle

MMS Vodafone UK with WM5

Help! - Has anyone else transferred their O2 xda Exec to Vodafone, or does anyone have a V1640 that they can check the settings for MMS with me?
I've changed over to voda, have loads of apps installed. Vodafone's business help line seem blissfully unaware of the extra settings inside the Messaging App on WM5 for MMS config.
Normal internet connectivity is ok, but at the moment I can't seem to download any new MMS messages. They arrive in the inbox and the size shows up, but I just can't download.
For the Connection details - Stangely, using the dedicated IP that the support team provided for the IP address of 212.183.137.012 doesnt work, when its on IP address is provided, it does try and access messages, but just can't download them.
Its got to a stage now, where they seem unwilling to help because its "not a handset they provide" despite me explaining that its the same mobile OS as dozens of other handsets and the settings will be exactly the same as on any WM5 based device.
The settings they can't seem to help with are those inside the messaging app on the menu "MMS Configuration" (see below)
----------------------------
Messaging > MMS > Menu >MMS Configuration
Preferences Tab:
Retrieve messages immediately (ticked)
Download on home network only (unticked)
Save sent messages (ticked)

Can anyone help, its been several days now and its really annoying me!

Annoying, but here's how
Hi Derek,
I just got this working again after having the same problem as you. Here is my setup (based on WM6 on an O2 XDA Exec running on Vodafone) - and the trick you need to know is at the end:
Settings -> Connections, I created a new modem connection called "Vodafone MMS & Data" of type "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)". Under this setting, I have created two connections, one called "3g data" and one called "3g Wap Connection".
"3g data" is set up with access point "internet", username "internet", and password (I think) also "internet"
"3g Wap connection" is set up with access point "wap.vodafone.co.uk", username "wap" and password "wap".
OK, so you have a connection with two options set up as a result of this. For 99% of your day-to-day browsing, you just leave the connection set to use "3g data" by default, but when you get the notification of an MMS message, disconnect any existing online session and then go in and select the "3g Wap connection" option, then tap-and-hold and select Connect. Once you're online with the Wap connection you can then go and download your MMS message.
Hope this helps,
Darren

Here's what to do
In Settings/Connections/Connections you should have one connection set up under My ISP for internet access:
Name: VF Web (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet
user name: web
password: web
You should also have one connection set up under My Work Network:
Name: VF MMS (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
user name: wap
password: wap
Finally set up your MMS configuration to Connect via: My Work Network
That's how to link internet and MMS to the two separate connections.

I did indeed notice the date of the thread. However the advice given here was not the best solution. I was trying to set up MMS on my O2 Exec on a Vodafone sim for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't find a complete and proper solution anywhere. Thankfully I managed to work it out and posted it here in case it helps others. The Universal and WM5 are both still alive and kicking.

Thats ok mate, just joking
Thanks for your comment
