I 'm experimenting problems to setup a GPRS connection with my local cellualr provider, because it seems that here in MEXICO, you need to configure +52 55 *99# intead of +0..... (tmobile default configuration) I own a TMOBILE XDA PW10B1 ROM: 3.08.10 ENG, Radio Version: 6.02
Can anybody help me to do this configuration?
Sounds like your GPRS operator needs to go on a course
A GPRS handset doesn't actually dial a number. The *99# is used as a code to tell the phone to connect to GPRS it is not sent to the network.
There are actually 3 ways for a GPRS phone to connect to a GPRS network
ATD*99# (or ATD*99***1# on some handsets)
AT+CGACT=1
AT+CGDATA=1
The last two don't work in practice as once you are connected you need a PPP link to do anything useful.
You do need to tell the phone what Access Point you wish to connect to (the bit after the +0~ on the display, which can be removed by tweaking the Dialing Locations section). This is done by the AT+CGDCONT command, but as all AT commands are 'hidden' by Pocket PC the Connection Manager sets this before it connects.
The customer care person in Mexico simply doesn't understand how GPRS works. Unfortunatly few customer care staff do elsewhere in the world either.
Thanks for your replay.
how can I tweak the Dialing Locations section?
I'm new in this kind of tech.
Start\Settings\Connections\Connections\Dialing Locations\Dialing Patterns
Replace everything (or just International Calls) with g.
Mind you it will make no diference to the GPRS operation of the device, only the display of the "dial string" in the message window.
I works!!!! very well. It fells a litte bit slow, but it works... Thanks.
Is that possible to somehow see what AT commands have been used by the connection manager/pocketpc?
I have GPRS working on pocketpc, but I couldn't get it working using AT commands magic and with pppd (under linux, not on the XDA, but the same SIM/network.).

Hey all,
My friend got a Communicator 9210i , and yesterday he dialed the isp and started surfing the internet, i tried doing that with my imate using a cellualr line to dial a landline ISP and use dial up to surf the net but it didnt work, so iam wondering if it is even supported in Imate.
Please reply
GPRS is slow/expensive in my country
thanks in advance
Your provider has to support that, and it has to be provisioned on your account. It's called CSD, and is typically billed as a standard phone call. You will get 9600bps data speed over it. The device will do it.
thanks 4 ur fast reply, but the case is iam using the same ISP as my friends with the 9210i , so is it possible that the 9210 works and PPC doesnt work? like i dont know if 9210 uses the same interface CSD lines. but here whats iam getting while dailing the number , No modem found @ this number.
thanks again
i need to connection from my imate to ssh my server when i need to : )
CSD has to be enabled by your CELLULAR carrier, not the ISP. The error you gave is exactly what happens when CSD is off at the carrier.

ok , will contact the company and ask them if it is supported or if i need to pay anything to make it work .
: )
I'm wanting to set up dial up access to my work's internet provider (telstra). My phone is an O2 XDA IIs connected thru Optus, but that's not really that relevant to my problem...
I set up the connection properly but when I tried to connect it says 'no modem at above number'.
I know there are other causes for this message, but mine is simple:
Optus want me to pay extra money to be able to use a 'data line'. And because it would seem SO much more expensive to do things that way, well hey, I might as well just use GPRS, yes? NO! I've got a cap at $79 for $500 worth of calls, and this dialup number is a local call... so I could theoretically be on the internet for hours on my PDA, but Optus don't want me to do that.
Now I tried calling the number normally using the mobile and I heard beeps etc.
So my question is: What software can I use to translate that into a dialup connection? Surely there must be *some* way around this problem...
Has anyone else overcome this?
Same problem here
Sorry I don't have a solution, but I have the exact same problem. I get the same error, but I can dial the modem number using the phone and it connects.
I'm on Rogers in Canada with an XDA IIs
Any info anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys,
As the new owner of O2 Exec, that I purchase in second hand shop, I come up with some questions and issues. Of course, I tried to find my answer on the forum but couldn't find it so I was thinking maybe some experienced users might have the answer.
Also some information about the configuration of my O2 Exec:
O2 Exec
Rom Version: 1.30.107 WWE
Rom Date: 04/11/06
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.162 WWE
I have unlock the exec and I am using it with a T-Mobile sim card in the UK. I am also register with Web'n'walk (Unlimited GPRS data plan).
I am synchronizing the Exec with Exchange server and I am using the email push.
See below:
- When I plugged the exec by Usb for active sync, I got an error on my laptop saying that I can't synchronize. If I unplug the cable and plug it again, it tend to works (Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to kill active sync on my laptop and start it again). Any ideas?
- Is there a way to completely block the data transmission when I am abroad. In fact, before I was using a Blackberry and there was an interesting option which allow to block all data connection when you are Roaming. Good to avoid bad surprise with the expensive data roaming fee.
- When I am using TCMP to listen to music. It starts to play fine, and then suddenly i got an error saying that the file can't be found on the SD card. I didn't remove the card and I can see that the card is still there in the file explorer.
- Does the email Push can work with Wifi or only with GPRS? If yes, how can I configure this?
- How can I check on the today screen that my bluetooth is paired correctly. I use to have a Blueangel with WM2003 and I remember that there was an icon in the top bar with a headset to indicate that the bluetooth headset was paired. The only workaround so far is to press my bt headset and see if the voice dialing window come up. I think there might be a better way.
- Is there a point for me to upgrade my Radio version? I tried to do it but get an error that the country code wasn't correct or something like this. If it brings improvement can you please give me some information on how to do upgrade it on a O2 exec since it is an Orange upgrade?
- I am using Web'n'walk in the uk with only GPRS. I configure the gprs parameter with the information from the internet. The information given by the customer services where not working. Is there any way to use the UMTS (i.e. 3G) instead of GPRS. The customer services told me that I have to upgrade my plan to do so. Anybody have another solution?
To conclude, this handset is a really impressive machine. As I say before, I used to have a Blueangel and I can see that a lots of things have improved since then.
Sorry for my big list of questions and thank you very much for your help.
Julien.
Web'nWalk with UMTS
I have a Web'nWalk tariff on t-Mobile.
If your sim is a recent one (mine is a year old), it can handle both GPRS and UMTS depending on availability. Older sims cannot - you have to request a new one. This was confirmed by T-Mobile support as well as my experience with the sim. It drops to GPRS where there's no 3G coverage, and I get good speed with 3G (UMTS) in most parts of London
You need to set Network Type to Auto (Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band) if the current default is GSM.
Hope this helps.
Got my HTC TyTN(Hermes-Titan) in China and was using it with great satisfaction for a couple of months. With great satisfaction when landed in Germany, I could still automatically get all my emails and cals without making any adjustment using GPRS and UMTS. Once landed in Spain with strong disapointment and then I have not been able to connect anymore in any of the networks available. Aparently I could not swith from the UMTS2100 to GSM1900(which is used in Spain). The HTC Technical support team there proposed to change the mother board ... may some one know an other way to solve the problem? May an update of ROM work?
Help, Help with China Mobile GPRS settings/Setup
Hi,
I have the Hermes (Softbank Hermes 200 bought in HK with latest QTek South Africa ROM on it - for WWE usage) but I can't seem to figure how to connect to local GPRS to use internet or get email, etc.
It's driving me nuts! I've tried many combos And I'm pretty computer literate too.
Evidently I have all the information I need, maybe, but I can't seem to get the settings right. I've scoured the web and read a couple of moderately useful (but not 100% applicable) posts on outlining the process but I still can't make it happen.
Is there anyone who has successfully set up their Hermes with the China Mobile GPRS settings? Please pass on your knowledge to me.
For background, I have a local Shanghai SIM chip with GPRS function enabled by the central China Mobile authorities, whoever they may be. I'm on a pay-as-you-go service.
The settings (as sent to me from China mobile) are supposed to be:
APN: cmwap
IP: 010.000.000.172
Port: 9201
Domain(?): http://wap.monternet.com
They said no PW or user needed, but some sites list "WAP" for both.
I understand there are also dial-up options but I've had no success either.
The closest I've come is to make the network appear to connect (a timer counts connection time) but when I try to pull up a webpage it doesn't load and says the connect was lost.
I also don't know which PAP/CHAP setting to use and my phone does not have a convenient "Network Wizard" app.
Thanks in advance for your kindness. And thank you to the moderators for this great site. I've learned a wealth of information about my phone and even upgraded the ROM.

Hey, guys, I'm trying to connect to the internet through CSD data bearer. Using Omnia, WM 6.1. I input all the needed settings provided by the operator, but it seems that the phone can't even call the data number (in my case it is 1000). I tried with two GSM service operators - Globul and Vivacom, but to no avail. I wrote an e-mail to the Globul's support regarding this issue and they said that they were also unable to connect to CSD using the Omnia. So I think this is an issue with Windows Mobile itself. Maybe some hidden settings or registry tampering is required? I hope you guys are qualified enough to give me some feedback on this problem. Thanks!
Here is a video of what happens (ot more accurately - what doesn't happen):
