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.
10x
ok , will contact the company and ask them if it is supported or if i need to pay anything to make it work .
: )
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

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.
I have an XDA 1 and have been trying to connect to the Internet with various SIMS.
I notice that when I insert a password, or in some mobile providers cases, leave it blank, the password box is filled with asterisks. Is this causing the problem of not being able to connect?
How do I get the asterisks to disappear if they are causing the problem?
Gill, don't get excited about this reply as I can't help with your query!
I just wanted to ask you if you have found a solution for connecting to the internet using the XDA1?
I have an XDA1 on pay as you go with O2, I don't subscribe to the GPRS service but have read somewhere here that it might be possible to connect to the internet for nowt! It's ths nowt that I like.
If you do find a solution, I'd be grateful if you could share it.
Regards
John
Hi John
I have not found a way to connect to the Internet yet with the XDA 1 and O2 pay as you go. It's very annoying. I have managed to get some sort of WAP site but it's from 2003. It is using up money fromy my O2 card although I apparently get 1MB free of GPRS. I certainly have not browsed through 1MB of web pages.
I also have not heard of the NOWT thing - pity - I hope I find it as it sounds good to me.
If I do find a solution, I shall probably collapse in shock and won't be able to use my XDA! Only joking - I shall let you know!
I now you can browse the Internet on the XDA 1 as I have seen it done today with Virgin Mobile Pay as you go!
Regards
Gill
XDA 1 SOFTWARE
I have posted many messages this week regarding O2 and conncting to the Internet with an XDA 1 and a Pay as you go O2 SIM.
I have mentioned that, when I do connect, it connects to an out of date service from 2003. I wonder if the software on the XDA 1 needs upgrading in order for me to connect to the Internet?
Can anybody help?
Thank you.
Thanks for the reply Gill
I'm sure we'll find a way with all the help available on here. I know I've seen the details posted somewhere but didn't make a note!!
Have fun
John
I can get full internet access with the xda 1 and a payg sim on O2. Please message me as I dont wish O2 to slam the door on this.
Hi there just ordered my exec from 02 and its on its way, but does anyone know whether my current sim on "3" network work with it??? provided its network unlocked of course!
my "3" sim worked in my xda 2 so im guessin it will. not tried it in my exec will try tonight n post my findings.
cheers looking forward to it. Please let us know the result of your test. Thanks
Works for me on the 3 network in Australia.
ok for those interested. My xda exec ariived from o2 this morning and first thing I did ws test my "3" sim and it works!!!! well voice works i dont know how to configure it for data and browsing for 3. Bu at least it means loads of talktime for me!!!
If the UK is the same as Australia, then to configure it for internet access set the access point to '3netaccess' and the username to 'a' and the password to 'a'.
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.

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...

I think that might be a 6280, you can turn those 'adverts' off
