Hi all, I hope someone can help with this,
I have tried to all O2 using 100 (but this keeps getting disconnected automatically) so I have to call as 0845 number which uses my minutes + I was waiting 30 minutes to speak to someone and when i eventually did get through they hung up (I am well Pi***d off with o2). Anyhow
I want to connect to the net using GPRS, however no GPRS symbol is displayed and if i try, i get a message saying "No moden at above number" any help would be great.
Cheers
Matt
Right, couple of things to suggest.
Firstly (and I know this sounds stupid)....O2 have recently installed new call centre handling "things" which SHOULD route your call more efficiently but as they have been put in by IBM (also, responsible for more recent "good inovations" in O2) the bits aren't working v well! - trust me as I speak from experience and "from the horses mouth" - I work for them!
So chill when you do get through....the staff on the phones are getting major grief from customers, dealers and fellow staff members (mainly store staff) because it's taking ages......It's not their fault!!
Anyway, back to your problem.....you haven'y said whether you got a new connection or an upgrade.....if it's the latter did you ahve GPRS on your previous phone and did it work?
If it's a new connection then GPRS hasn't been provisioned for some reason (although it can tkae 48 hrs max from connection to go through), same goes if it was an upgrade and you never used GPRS on the old phone.
Give me the answeres to these questions and I'll give you my best guess!

Check settings
I use this site for settings:
http://www.filesaveas.com/index.html
I would also suggest that you check that GPRS has actually been enabled by O2 for you. I had problems with MMS not being enabled although I HAD asked for it.
Thanks Mike for your responce, and I promise not to go ape at your colleagues.
I have a new account with O2, connected today, however seems strange that it could take upto 48hrs to get GPRS active, I was recently with ORANGE and as soon as I activated the phone (a SPV) the GPRS was active there and then. Ah well I will wait the 48hrs and hopefully it will come active sometime soon.
As an O2 employee, you may be able to assist on this query. As a paymonthly customer on O2 400, I am supposted to call 100 from my XDAII to call CS, but when I do this I get disconnected automatically as if the number is dead, any ideas?
Many thanks for your help.

An update on the aboe. I have managed to sort this problem out, I did a soft reset and when rebooted I noticed the phone settings were on Germany, changed it to UK and GPRS works fine.
Matt
for anyone searching with this problem
MODEM NOT FOUND AT DIALED NUMBER
1. phone CS on 0845 and make sure GPRS is on! (APN provisioning for mobile web access (you can 'check' on the 100 number, but they can't turn it on for you)
2. 3.30pm is the 'switch over' time, so soft reboot after this time each day (
up to 24hrs) ...... phone again if still not on !
3. GERMANY is default if you go to MY XDA - connections. it will always be on Germany. but the wizzard should of set it to UK when you first set it
Do you have the correct settings for wap over gprs, email over gprs using O2 payg sim with free gprs pages and wap.
Is there any portal to get the settigs to the O2 phone directly?
i got an xda2 the other day but iv havent been able to use the gprs i even brought a new o2 pay and go sim card but i still can only use gsm i can not send picture messages ethier. iv tryed to change the settings to
apn payandgo.o2.co.uk
username. pay and go
password. password
but it still does not work it sayes its conected gprs but when i try and surf it just stayes blank and the litte windows logo flaping in the corner iv left it for 5 minets and the screens the same.
iv even tryed installing a new rom but it still dident fix the problem.
if anyone noes if i have to change any settings for it to work on pay as you go please could you help.
thanks peter

I went through all this,and can tell you that o2 payg doesn't support gprs.That's why people use Orange payg.
thanks
thanks for ur help do u know if you can keep your phone number is you swich networks.
I do Believe
I do believe that if you call O2 CS that can transfer your number to a different carrier.
Hey guys,
I have a Qtek 9090 and I recently activated GPRS on my Mobistar account - went to one of their shops and had one of those freckle-faced amateur kids set it up for me and everything - then I had to manually enter the settings on my Qtek, no problem so far, but whenever I try to connect, it says 'connecting' for a while then 'No modem at above number'.
I tried a variety of combinations with the settings 'provided' by Mobistar (they're not exactly fine examples of customer communications), but nothing worked.
Here are my settings:
Modem: Cellular line (GPRS) - nothing wrong here, I presume;
Access point name: I tried 'internet.be', 'web.pro.be' and 'mworld.be', but nothing worked.
User name and Password: Both 'mobistar'
IP adress: Server-assigned
Software compression: Tried checked and unchecked.
IP header compression: Tried checked and unchecked.
Server adress: DNS 212.065.063.010, Alt DNS 212.065.063.145
I also tried every combination of authentication (PAP/CHAP) and class (8/10) settings. The thing Mobistar activated for me was their Orange World program, or something, where I have to pay a fixed sum of 6 euros a month, and a little extra for actual GPRS traffic.
I'm going crazy about this, I already went back to their shop twice and each time another smelly, greasy teenager fumbled with my Qtek for a while, could to NOTHING MORE than entering these same settings AGAIN (as if I was too stupid to do that) and tell me it SHOULD work. Sorry for the shouting... this is getting under my skin... :wink: I'm actually a nice person you know... 8)
I hate these kids, they do fine 90% of the time because 90% of the customers are even dumber... so they think they know it all.
Ok, I'm done now, it's off my chest. Sorry.
Any ideas?
An awnser from one of the greasy kids :wink: :
Did you try as dns: 212.065.063.143
This is the information I used with a lot of MDA's with mobistar as provider:
APN:
mms.be (for Mobistar Friends and Optimum-customers)
tempomms.be (for Tempo-customer)
User ID: mobistar
Password: mobistar
Acces point name: web.pro.be
WAP Gateway IP: 212.065.063.143
MMS Server URL: http://mmsc.mobistar.be
:lol: You greasy kids ain't so bad after all, thanks for answering so quickly.
Unfortunately, nothing helped, but get this: I talked to a very competent Mobistar Helpdesk guy on the phone today and apparently I'm not subscribed to their Orange World service at all! So the first kid, the one in the Mobistar shop that processed my application, is the one that messed up. I guess that greasy teen was having a bad day. Or I was, or whatever. Still, after talking to a number of other Mobistar people, you'd think they would have noticed this!
Anyway, I was told to wait another 48 hours until my request is processed, then I'll try again.
Damn, it's more fun totally hating a group of people, it sucks when some of them turn out ok!!! :wink: Guess that's what's wrong with mankind. 8)
have bought an exec to use with my 3 sim on three network , has anyone any sites that have the 3g gprs settings etc mms files etc to set it up as three customer services just laugh and say, ooo we dont sell that fone , dont know good luck.....
any help would be great
thanks
I don't think that phone can work on 3 network. I think it is of an complete different 'frequency'. Can you make/receive phone calls using the 3 sim?
yes, calls work etc not tried a video call as yet but i know lots of fones dont work at all with the 3 sim but the exec does
Same here
I have been using O2 XDA Exec on 3UK. Same problem can not set up the GPRS or the MMS.
Help needed please.
weird thing has happened, flashed with the qtek rom and now it says i have down loaded an illegal rom and just reboots and resets , so i align screen, it customises then reboots and then shows illegal rom notice again, anyone had this or have i missed it in the search pages
Re: Same here

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.
My A1000 uses Opera so it cant be that much different...
Thanx Aristotle
3GRPS seems to work ok, considering that on EXEC it will not display any service pages still but does connect to 3.
Though the MMS settings are not working. I am not able to download my MMS messages and send either any suggestions.
Thankyou in advance
In Australia, so for we have got the Universal to connect to planet3, 3G for internet access, and video calling. We still have not managed to get it working for mms, and video streaming.

Oh that's good, is there anything special you need to do to access planet 3? because I can connect, but can't load any pages.
I guess the video streaming is to do with the hutchkey plugin(???)
Aristotle, you're in the UK, and it's all firewalled on 3, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I know things are different in Australia (from the 3g forum).
That's why I left for t-mob: the irony is that the network that claims to be the most hi-tech is in fact the most low-tech of them all. On t-mob web and walk pro and the exec, you get full internet access (no restrictions), with infinite bandwith. That means during the day I remote-desktop to my home machine over 3G, then when I go home it switches calls to skype (I turn gprs off and wifi on), never worrrying about the bills. Try doing that on 3. :-/
lol.....well in australia we only really have one option for 3G at this stage, and thats 3.
walk into an optus store here asking about 3G, and if your lucky they know what your talking about, and at best they might be able to tell you that the broachers are coming.
Vodafone here, well not bad, but ask them anything outside what there trained to know and you might as well be talking egyptian.
telstra....lol....almost as bad as optus.....
Give us another 3 yrs....

Yeah, I know, thanks =/ it would be nice to see the F1 news and footie scores whilst on the train...
Used to be on T-mobile but it's reception was (and still is) awful where I live, drops more calls than 3.
Yep, wouldnt it be great to have a program that would have all the F1 details for the season and also sync options to get all the latest news, minute by minute race and qualifing updates....mmm....sounds very viable
sms
Hi guys,
Im also having a similar dillema to you guys.
Bought an SPV M5000 from ebay and unlocked with buzz's tool, but now using my 3 sim card I cant send any sms, or send/recieve any mms.
Im thinking I may just sell the phone on, wait until my contract expires, and get a new one on a proper contract with orange or O2 becuase im addicted to txting and its getting a bit annoying constantly swapping my sim into my A1000.
Thanx

omg
no offence, but...
universal is a 3g compatible phone - it will work with 3, vodafone 3, Australia 3, etc - it is designed to do that.
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.
re sms - check the sms centre!!! thats all you have to do - call the support and they will give you the number.
confused
sorry to seem really thick ( I probably am), but where is the setting to change sms centre number on the unversal. Ive been through all settings and cant find it. I dont remember changing this on my A1000 when I flashed it with the non 3 Uk F/W
I've been told about this 3 network not compatible with any other phones except the phones that cames together with the package. I wonder why is it so? I mean, others are trying to lock the phone, so that it can't be used with other network. But locking the network to a certain phone doesn't make any business sense.
However, I've recently had a look on my friend's 3 network phone. And it seems that the phone main screen is flashing advertisements constantly. And, as far as I know, this 3 network is the cheapest to maintain so far, that's why many seems to be using it.
So, my current conclusion is that, they need a phone that has the ability for them to flash advertisements, if not, they won't let you have the cheap network rate without the ability for them to flash advert.

Hi igs, I can access some pages on planet 3, but not others, if I try for example the link you give for nokias, I get an error message (see below, sorry for the small image, can't find the right screenshot programme)
However, I can access some pages, e.g. checking my balance (see below), by typing the link. and if I click on the links from there, I can open some pages but not others.
These are my settings
I have APN: three.co.uk
Username password and domain are blank
Use server assigned IP address in TCP/IP and Servers
And nothing checked for proxy settings
Any ideas? Could it be that you have some plugin that I don't? Thanks....
Also ai118, I didnt need to specify a sms centre, it did it automatically...

Hi Folks, First post on here so bare with me. I have managed to unlock my phone which is great thanks to help on this forum. I have a vodafone PAYT Sim which I am trying to get GPRS working. I have scoured around to no avail. I have seen several posts on other sites as well. It seems the APN is pp.vodafone.co.uk and wap as username and password, this just isn't working on my phone I have also tried wap.vodafone.co.uk as well and a number of combinations I keep getting the error message 'No modem available at this number' or words to that effect? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Steve
you must be very wealthy as i was on voda payt and it used to cost £1 to load 1 webpage :?
you can get voda to txt you the settings off their website if you need them but I'd recommend you use a different price plan tbh
hi dmonik, ive tried with the guys at vodafone to not much avail, i am going to change network to easymobile they seem to have ok rates. Can someone point me to a beginners guide to these things. I want to learn about ROMs and how to get the most from my phone?
Steve
@steve43- for Vodafone PAYT- apn is pp.vodafone.co.uk , username is wap , password is wap. DNS 213.183.137.012 :wink:
