Vodafone & GPRS

I have recently unlocked my phone so that I may use it on Vodafone as the O2 coverage in my area is not the best.
My question is is it possible to log onto to the Vodafone GPRS system with my XDA.
If so how do I configure my XDA so that it works.
Awaiting With Interset Your Replies

im having the same problem

GPS
Youll need a slieve or gps reciever for the nav system to work. it will work fine with vodaphone, just not on its own as a hand set.

Vodafone GPRS Settings
Hi Vodafone GPRS setting on XDA are as follows: Start/Setting then connection tab, click Connections and on My ISP, add a new modem connection. Enter name i.e. Vodafone then select modem type Cellular Line(GPRS).Internet Access point is 'Internet' if your on contract, and 'pp.vodafone..co.uk' if your on pay as you go. Next user name is web and password is web. That's it your done, go surf. :roll:

Re: Vodafone GPRS Settings
Tried your connection setup as suggested and got the message 'No modem at above number'. Any clue what next, Thanx

Vodafone GPRS Settings
As far as I can see these settings work fine on the XDA1, I do not have access to a XDA2 so i cannot confirm if these settings will work on XDA2.

Doh! after categorically stating I had followed gadgetnet's advice and couldn't still get web access on my xda2 I have to eat humble pie. Gadgetnet's advice is spot on but ofcourse technonerds like me have to first of all check that their service provider has GPRS enabled their sim cards. I got Vodafone to enable GPRS on my sim (simply a phone call request made to their call centre) and half an hour later I was surfin in fine style. Remember if you want to access Adult sites like the National Lottery you have to go on line by other means to the vodafone website and set it up. Takes about 15mins with credit card as ID of age.

Followed gadgetnet's instructions to the letter, worked a treat first time. Really impressed with the service far better thatn O2's. So thankyou gadgetnet.

MDA on CINGULAR

I have a tmobile MDA that is unlocked and working great. My work just issued us cellphones attached to a CINGULAR plan. I put the sim into my MDA and everything seems to work right.
The only thing that does not work right is DUN (Dial-Up Networking) ... with the t-mobile sim in there (also unlocked) I am able to dial up to my ISP and obtain a (albeit slow) connection that I can use for the rare time that I want to get on the internet and check something. When I use the same connection with the cingular sim installed, it says that there is no modem at the number.
Any ideas? Should I also unlock the cingular sim? Should I use a cingular rom on my phone? Does cingular block DUN connections? I really would like to cancel my personal t-mobile and go with completely free cellphone service, as I tend to enjoy things that are free.

You just need to configure your internet settings to Cingular settings. If you go to Cingular.com and look under support>device/phone support & choose the 8125 as your phone. Then click on internet/browser settings. Follow the onscreen instructions and you will be able to connect to Cingular's EDGE/GPRS with your MDA.
Don't modify your current settings if you plan on still using your T-Mobile SIM. Just start a new connection with all of Cingular's stuff. That way when you're using the T-Mobile card just switch the connection to T-Mobile's settings and when you're using the Cingular SIM switch over to Cingular's settings. 8)

Not exactly what i was asking
I was referring to Dial-Up Networking, not GPRS/EDGE ... I am able to dial into a DIALUP ISP and connect to it just as I am able to from a regular PC.
:roll:
This way I am able to get free (well, almost. It still uses my minutes) internet, albeit at slower than standard dialup speeds.

Is your company paying for unlimted data on the Cingular plan or just allowing you to use minutes? I've never attempted to use DUN for a 3rd party providor, but using Cingular as an ISP(GPRS/EDGE) should be better than than using someone else... I'm not sure how businesses get by without offering/using data packages these days.

yes
I dial into a service called nocharge.com.
I am in California, and the service is based in Washington, but since minutes are minutes, regardless long distance, I am able to get free (sort of) dialup internet through nocharge.com.
So this is something that no one has tried? That amazes me.

doesn't Cingular still have it's own dialup number to use?
have you tried testing it out with settings such as the ones in the link below?
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cach...90+cingular+8125+csd&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1
i believe t-mobile disabled its csd by now so not sure if this will work but its worth a shot as a test...
man csd at a max speed of 9.6kbps would kill me i can barely pull up any websites using t-mo's EDGE
if you cant get the above link to work try searching for "cingular 8125 csd" on google...there is quite a bit of hits

I'm using the cingular 8125 on tmobile
the 8125 and MDA are the exact same device with different software (and of course exterior case). If you download the lastest cingular rom (which you should be able to find the offical one here on xda) and after syncing all your contacts etc, load the cingular rom from your desktop pc and it will guide you through flashing a new rom onto your wizard (aka 8125, MDA, etc).
You will have all the settings as if you had actually bought an 8125.

GPRS with mtctouch

Hi
I bought the first imate jasjam I put my hands on last week; I had read all the reviews I could find and I "thought I did all the research before paying $1100". Well I guess I missed one thing: mtctouch (Lebanon Operator) declared the device "incompatible with their GPRS server" and they are not planning any upgrade for the moment; still no reply from i-mate on the matter.
Am I the only one with a device too advance for the telcom op.?
Can I upgrade or patch the radio stack to become "backward compatible"?
I am running" JASJAM_Arabic_1.20.305.3_1.20.304.104_1.07.03.10
Cheers

for time being use setting phone and under band insted of auto for network select GSM and for GSM/UMTS select GSM 900+1800+UTMS 2100 (first select) or other for your country.

Hi Ridaz,
There should be no reason why this device doesn't work on their GPRS netowkr unless they use a portal system which checks the model of the device connecting to 'taylor' the content to the device.
Tell me do mtctouch offer a internet only GPRS APN or only a GPRS WAP one? Hope you know what I mean bu the term APN. The TyTn in effect should be setup to use the internet one and the mtctouch GPRS network would just see it as a laptop PC.
Gav.

Hi
All 3G phones owners will have to wait until MTC finish upgrading their "equipment", hopefully mid December
Cheers

Cingular 8125 GPRS

Hay guys, I have a friend who sent me a Cingular 8125 (I live in the Australia) as a gift. I have successfully unlocked it and flash it with the Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP-fixed rom.
I use the vodaphone network in Aus. The only problem I am having, is when I try to use IE, our get to my email, the phone always tries to connect to Cingular's GPRS system instead of vodaphone.
I am assuming that I need to load a different generic rom so that it isn't locked to Cingular GPRS, can anyone point me in the right direction!
Thanks.

or just go into the connections menu and delete the cingular gprs connections and add your own for your provider in there.

Or I could just do that, I didn't realise GPRS was something you could setup (I thought the settings where pushed down from your network provider).

GPRS service is not available

Hi all,
I just managed to flash HTCAsia WWE ROM onto my Dual Touch which was T-Mobile branded in Dutch, thanks to the NIKI project and some other good people. I use this opportunity toexpress my gratitude. But, since then, even I managed to pick up connection settings for my current provide (Orange), every time I try to send MMS or connect to the Internet using GPRS, I get the same message: "Answering modem has diconnected. There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network." I have called Orange customer service, and according to their instructions my connection and MMS settings are correct. Is it possible thatsomething is wrong with new ROM, or my GPRS service is not available for some reason.
Thanks.
