T Mobile UK GPRS Settings

T Mobile are a bunch a t******.
I asked them if they could provide me with the GPRS setting so that I could use it with my XDA - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
OK I said just give me the settings and I'll set it up - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
So I say, lets pretend I've got a Nokia give me the settings and I'll sort it out - their response 'Nokia settings are totally different to XDA so we cant give you those settings'
Finally I say, lets pretend I've got a non competitor product (Siemens SX45, HP Jornada 928, Palm Tungsten W....anything) JUST GIVE ME THE SETTINGS - their reponse - THEY PUT THE PHONE DOWN!!
So my questions is does anyone have the settings so that I can start using GRPS on my XDA.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm in excatly the same position as you. Also have an unlocked XDA on t-Mobile. Took me ages to get the settings out of them ( they are a bunch of mentally handicapped people at the best of times...)
Bad part for me is..even with these settings...it takes a while to connect...and sometimes it does not connect at all...Your luck my vary ( please let me know if you have any success)
1.Under connections, create a new connection and choose "Cellular Line (GPRS) " modem as the modem type.
2.Leave everything else on defaults.
3.When it asks you for an access point, type "general.t-mobile.uk" ( it is not a spelling mistake it is .uk and not .co.uk)
4. Click finish
5. Under GPRS Authentication choose "CHAP"
6. Under CSD Line type choose "Analogue"
7. Make sure that when you dial that the GPRS connection number is +0~GPRS!general.t-mobile.uk -> set the area code and country code both to 0.
8. Make sure that there is a "G" next to the operator name ( when you click on the signal strength box). If you don't have this..t-mobile has not switched on your GPRS account. Call them and ask them to enable "GPRS Data" for your account. Not WAP, MMS or something else but "GPRS Data" (they are clueless)
9. If you still have problems...call tmobile support..but instead of talking to them..ask to speak to the data support team. ( these guys actually know a bit more...but not much...- at least they know what data GPRS is)
All in all I spoke to a guy a carphonewarehouse...and he has tried t-mobile, vodafone, orange and o2. He told me that all of these services only offer gprs at 9600 except for orange ( which he seemed to like ), that offer gprs at 19200 and that they are pretty clued up.
Anyway..hope it helps.
milmber

Thanks for your reply. I'll try this out and let you know how I get on.
Incidentally when I was on the phone to them they said that they dont support any PDA's and have no instructions - I've checked, its on their website!!
I also mentioned to them that this exact same phone is available in USA, Germany, Austria, Poland and Czech Republic under the name MDA.
Thinking about it, maybe I ought to be working for T Mobile, because I sure as hell know a lot more than their 'call centre staff'

network log on
Thanks for the post Milmber. I followed your instructions and when i try to use GPRS I get a message saying
Network Log on
Resources T-Mobile
Then it asks for user name, password, domain.
Any idea what this should be or have I done something wrong
Thanks in advance
Primed

Hi,
Sorry...forget to add the username and password...could have sworn I put it in ;-)
Well anyway, when you get prompted add only a username and password:
Username is "user"
Password is "one2one"
Let me know how you manage....

...btwI left the domain setting empty...but your milage my vary...

Hi Prime,
Just to let you know...tried the GPRS again today ( with the settings I gave you above...) and the GPRS seems to be working fine.
I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with the T-Mobile signal strength..since this works for me here at work...but not at home....

Hi Milmber
I found a website that gives the lastest settings and it states that the settings are:
'user'
't-mobile'
This seems to work as well.
If you want the email address, let me know.
Primed

Hi Prime,
if you could post/email me the address of the settings page you found that would be much appreciated!

For AirTel India Users

Hi all
i hv modified the htc netwizard for Airtel settings in India.Now this will properly install all the airtel settings to the device.
Airtel internet settings (postpaid 500 RS/month)
Airtel Live setings (free both on postpaid and prepaid)
Airtel NOP setings (for prepaid 100 Rs/month)
Airtel MMS settings (for both)
now u just need to know which plan u hv opted and use the respective setting from network connections.
By default the Airtel internet settings will work.
>>>>>U MUST install the arcsoft mms first before running the netwizard so the the mms settings will work.<<<<<if it is not so run netwizard again.>>>
For Delhi users the netwizard will auto detect the setting and for other states
u should select the country and network manually.
The cab will also work for all countries but the modifications r made on Airtel India only.
Please let me know if u face any issue.

Great job..

all the ppls who tried this let me know about issue u hv faced. if it is working well, i m also going to modify it for vodaphone, idea and dolphin. plz also quote the settings for other carriers.
(if u r posting the settings plz be sure that they r working on ppc.)

it works on airtel
Forgot to mention, it works for me, however the default was airtel internet settings, which i feel is fine.
I changed to airtel live and it worked.

HI
I have Touch p3452
I have tried both methods, steps suggested by eshwarn and .cab file from krishnan....
Nothing happens after installing '.CAB' file. neither 'Airtel Live" appears in network management setting nor any icon of "Netwizard appears anywhere inside 'programs' menu. How how to run the netwizard after installing ??
but 1st option works. I can browse thru airtel live... Mine is postpaid connection and i m yet to get monthly bill wherein i can check if i m being charged...
But the biggest problem is, once i switch of device of change SIM card, all settings are lost and 'airtel live' connection does not show up.... Its really very troublesome to manually enter setting on every power up..
Pls suggest solution for this.
I wud also want to know, which sites are CHARGED under FREE airtel live.. (yahoo and google are charge.. but is orkut also charged?? what r charges ??)

No Support from Airtel for windows mobile?
Hi,
Picked up a HTC Touch Diamond from Airtel Bangalore. Been getting the run around on the GPRS settings - Airtel Live / Mobile Office. Today, I call up the support team and I am told that Airtel does not support any WinMo units, nor the iPhone till further notice.
The cab file given did not help.
Anybody have the settings on a HTC Touch Diamond that is working?

just tell me r u on postpaid or prepaid?

If u r using prepaid- Activate MO (mobile office using *567# , then select 1 as input and ok). Once activated (i think they have become quite quick now and activate it almost instantly)
Go to connections and enter new connection as MO and in the alias enter - airtellive.com. Thats it. then go to Advanced tab under connection and select networks to use MO for all programs connecting to internet.
to deactivae it *567# and follow prompts.
Remember MO is not free on prepaid they charge 15 rs per day(i think unlimited data) and for post paid its 450 rs or 499 rs for unlimited.

The codes you have mentioned are NOT the same for all circles (Your mentioned codes do not work in Maharashtra). It is best to call Airtel (121 - Free call) and find out what the activation and deactivation codes are for your particular circle.

o2 mobile internet problem - help needed

I bought a sim-free htc touch hd a few weeks ago, bought an o2 pay&go sim, added the unlimited web blot-on, and thought everything would be just fine. But I was wrong.
It worked fine on the small number of occasions I used it before yesterday.
Since I added the web bolt-on, the automatic connection settings no longer work and I get the following message every time I try to set up the data connection:
Dialed:
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 manufacturer's documentation and try again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Other than trying the automatic connection setup feature a few times, I've also tried manual settings. Currently my settings are as follows:
Modem selected: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: mobile.o2.co.uk
User name: O2web
Password: some 16 digit long network automatic password
Domain: no value entered
Advanced settings:
TCP/IP: Use server-assigned IP address
Servers: Use server-assigned addresses
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've tried using a different username and password, same the ones listed on most setup guides.
I've tried entering a manual DNS, and Alt DNS server address under advanced settings.
I've tried setting up the connection from scratch.
And I've tried doing a soft reset followed by restoring it to factory settings.
Currently I am using ROM version 1.14.4005.3, and have nothing else installed on the device. I do not currently have access to anything other than a mac, so cannot use any windows-related troubleshooting devices.
Absolutely anything you could suggest would be great. Rang o2, but they were unhelpful. Thanks chaps.

Those are the O2 contract settings. PAYG settings are different and one will not work with the others' settings. You'll have to scoure the O2 website to find the manual settings for PAYG (or PAG as O2 calls it).
A word of warning, however, after just coming off P&G and onto contract, and thus knowing the limitations of both, your mobile web with P&G will be severely crippled.
Unless O2 have changed their settings on the server side, the only web program that will work will be Opera. Email client and youtube won't work as P&G is limited to port 8080 (HTML) only...
This is something that really annoyed me when I was with P&G because I couldn't use my mobile's email client because it just could not connect.
sorry, rant/warning over! Summary: you need P&G specific settings, you can find them (eventually) on the O2 website - keep trying makes and models until you find one that gives you the manual settings (I can't give more help than this as I had to do the exact same thing myself!). HTC auto-connect wizard only has contract settings in it. Also be warned that potentially only Opera will work once you get the settings!

Thank you so much. I may love you. In a non-gay way. Anywho, I've found out how to do it. It's extremely simple now that you've pointed me toward the problem.
Go to Settings > Connections > Manage existing connections
Then under the 'Modem' tab, edit your connection.
All you have to do is change the access point name from 'mobileweb.o2.co.uk' to 'payango.o2.co.uk'.
Very simple.
And thanks for the warning about the limitations. I might take that up with them, since it is not mentioned when purchasing the web upgrade or sim. I'll test it out first though.

It's a general thing with PAYG really, telcos want you to have contracts - make more money from you that way! all PAYG SIMs go through proxies for mobile web connections, and almost all the PAYG proxies are limited to 8080 only.
Then again, it sounds like you didn't use the proxy settings so we'll see what happens w.r.t non html usage!
When you get a chance, could you please have a play with trying to use Gmail on IMAP and/or the YouTube and/or weather panel and report back whether it works or gets timed out? I'd really like to see how you get on!

As I already have many phone contracts in the family (that I'm paying for ), I got one of those o2 simplicity 30 day rolling contract things, the cheapest one for £10, then added £7.50 web bolt on, that lets you do whatever you like (you tube, mail etc all works fine), I thinks its also 150mins and 300txts.
Tmob do one as well that I think £20 for more mins, Unlimited txts and free web (special offer at the moment). It is a better deal than the o2 for only £2.50 more, but I have better o2 reception where I am, and also they use the Edge network.

OK, I've played about with these a bit, and they seem to be working fine. Weather works perfectly, as does my Gmail account on IMAP.
The youtube application is extremely slow, but I'm assuming that is more general, than a specific PAYG problem.

I've got their 'Your Country' SIM pack, which is purely top-up, but they deduct the 7.50 form my credit each month. It's great for me, since you get free minutes for calls to overseas whenever you top-up - damn useful for an Irishman.
Can't afford 20 pound every single month unfortunately. Student life (ignoring the fact that I managed to get a HD).
Thanks again chaps.

Airtel Live for HTC Tattoo

Hi,
I was using a W830i earlier, where Airtel live was working like a charm and i was able to use google maps etc... Now i had switched to HTC Tattoo..
Tattoo had Airtel Live and Mobile office settings built in.. but to my surprise only mobile office works, which is chargeable...
When i searched there are Airtel Live settings available for Winmo but none for android.. when i tried imitating the settings provided, it didnt work, Any help on this will be appreciated..
P.S: I am on a prepaid and in TN Circle

If Airtel Live is GPRS, then Maps and other apps won't work properly. This happened to me when I got my Tattoo about 10 days ago. Only the browser could access the internet. So I switched to EDGE, and it works correctly now. Check if Airtel offer EDGE service.

Thanks Sheik
The thing is in Airtel there are two accounts for connecting to GPRS
One is Mobile Office which is a paid service which works in Tattoo
and another is Airtel Live which is a portal specifically for Airtel for selling ringtones, wallpapers etc..
The specialty of Airtel Live is that its a free service and google maps can be accessed free of cost

ANy luck?
Hi Prasath
were you able to find any solution?
I moved from a nokia e90 to motorola milestone. everything worked like a breeze in the e90 with airtel live.
now only nonsecure sites are working in the milestone. am unable to access gmail and other secure sites!
subra

Hi
Hi,
I was not able to find a solution for the Airtel Live as there was no support from Customer care.. All they say is that my handset is not supported.. so finally stopped using Airtel Live.. Now as there is a plan in Airtel stating that For Rs 98... 2GB download limit for 1 month.. i didnt require Airtel Live..
Thanks

Hi,
I'm using HTC Tatoo with Vodafone GPRS (India) and am facing the issue that only browser can access Internet but no apps. I've posted this in more than one forums, and am yet to see a solution.
Who's this problem actually with? Vodafone, HTC, Android or Apps?
Thanks
:J

Hi
I believe there could be a proxy server issue..
Most probably what i feel is that the browser detects it.. but the apps does not..
It will be a better option to create a new thread for this
Cheers

You will need to subscribe for Vodafone Mobile Connect service, which is an EDGE service. The apps cannot use GRPS for accessing the internet.

But when i use wifi everything works fine. i have not used mobile office in this mobile, but i guess this is a problem with Andoid . If its so how can the guys at google make such a big mistake? They select people with atmost brilliance! ;D

sky sports mobile tv *sorted* (voda users)

has anyone managed to get this working yet? i subscribed yesterday thinking it would lead me to an app download or somthing but all it gave me was the sky+ recording app thing
dont want to be peying for somthing i can use
iphone has a dedicated app for it which i would have thought would of been available for any phone capable of watching sky on it...want it working before tomorrow so i can watch the match

bump, no one got sky?

What network are you on?
I'm on T-mobile and go to the web 'n' walk home page, from there click on the TV and Video tab and there is a link to Sky Sports TV. I found I have to be on 3G not Wifi to connect to it. Then go into the subscriptions and choose what you want.
If you are not on T-mobile then I assume you go into your network own mobile homepage.
Cheers.

imon vodafone and for some reason they see HD2 users and business customers instead of personal so you can't use vodafone live, i was hoping someone had found a way around this...cant wait for my contract to end, hate vodafone

ok just came across this info, now subscribed and able to get on vodawank live, maybe this could be put in the hints and tips thread?
To get onto live, you need to change your settings. Here is a quick explanation I found from the admin of the forum. If your in a rush to get onto live then skip this part =)

What's an APN?
APN stands for Access Point Name, and is perhaps best thought of as a ‘gate’ or ‘portal’ through to reaching the internet. Different APN’s have different properties, and so there are benefits and features to using them appropriately.
When attempting to connect to an internet-based service (say, the browser, or email), most phones will normally prompt the user with APN options. It’s important that you connect through the right one, otherwise the service might not even work. Our quick guide will explain what all the different APNs are, and the ones that you need to go through to make the correct connection.
For example, a user’s APN list might resemble in part the following:
1 – Contract Internet
2 – Contract WAP
3 – PAYT Internet
4 – PAYT WAP
Contract Internet
APN: Internet
Username: web
Password: web
This is our default Contract customer APN for general internet use, and should be the default for any non-Vodafone or Live! related service (such as Google Maps, for an example).
What it’s used for: Go through this portal if you want to browse the web, connect to or send email from your mobile's built-in email inbox.
What it’s not used for: You cannot connect to Vodafone Live! via this APN (use 'Contract WAP', below)
Contract WAP
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: wap
Password: wap
This is our default Contract customer APN for Vodafone Live! and Live! based services.
What it’s used for: Go through this portal if you want to browse Vodafone Live!, or make use of any Vodafone Live! services, such as Mobile TV.
What it’s not used for: You cannot access or send email from device-based email clients (such as Outlook Mobile, or a generic Messages inbox), nor will non-Vodafone internet-based applications work via this APN. For this please use the 'Contract Internet' APN
End Quote
Now the how to:
1.Go to start-> settings -> wireless controls
2.tap menu in the bottom right corner, then connections
3.At the bottom of the screen should be two tabs, Tasks and Advanced. Tap Advanced.
4.You should have "Select which networks are automatically used" appear. tap the box Select Networks
5. "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" Contract WAP, tap ok
6.Go to the web browser of your choice. and go to http://live.vodafone.com - if you don't get the vodafone live site, you've done something wrong.
7. If you want TV on your HD2, you'll need to have 3G or H at the top of the screen otherwise you'll just get the message saying your not in the area. I just subscribed to sky sports =)
Just a thought, I think there may be a downside to leaving it on contract WAP so I guess it would be wise to return it to Contract internet when possible.
Hope this helps =)
