XDA11i - internet help for newbie - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have an XDA 11i - -was on contract but I use ao2 pay as you go SIM card .
I can make and accept phone calls,and send recieve emails etc but I can only view a couple of web pages ie BBC home and Google ( only images!)
and they are both WAP sites.
If I try any other site it just says CANNOT CONNECT.
To get a bit of news I have to use the following
wsp://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_
Or for weather i use
wsp://wap.weatheronline.co.uk/02
Can you suggest another way of connecting or any other wap addresses ?
Glad of any help

Any ideas - -please !!!!!!!!!

I can't connect to either of those sites through my XDA.
Just to eliminate your GPRS connection settings, connect your XDA to the USB Cradle and try and access HTML sites from there. You should be able to. And if so check the O2 GPRS settings. Can be found on O2 site.
Note: O2 site states you need "O2 Mobile Web activated on your SIM". Phone them and say you want it activated.

O2 have activated my sim but they say I will have restricted use because I am only Pay as you Go.

Payasyougo is only litmited to WAP and not WEB. In other words you can't browse the www sites! only wap sites that are O2's own
O2 will tell you the sim will enable yo uto browse the internet, they are correct in a sense as WAP is the internet, but there own internet!
Basically the Sales team at O2 don't really know what they are talking about! most of which have just been on a customer sales training and not techincal training.
You need a Monthly (Post Pay) Contract.
Cheers
Lee

Both wsp sites are WAP sites by the way. You need to be able to view www sites and you can't, not with a pay as you go sim

So that means that I am stuck with these two sites then ???

Yep, just those two and the thousands of other WAP sites : http://www.wapcatalog.com/

heh only 9 sexuality related sites for wap maybe thats why it never really took off

I tried the wapcatalog site but I'm afraid the few that were not ringtones didn't work on my phone.
I have a pay as you go sim by the way not contract.
Thanks for your suggestion though

It's been a while since I used WAP, but IIRC www.google.com/wml or http://mobile.google.com should restrict search results to WAP sites.

Thanks friend but they didn't work either.
The only sites I can use start with WSP ie wsp://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile

FREE GPRS

Hi,
Have anyone experience free GPRS?
I DO
Yes I have and still on it 8)
Its free somehow? :?:
Anyone else have got it too?
What do you mean, all GPRS is free, isn't it? :shock:
GPRS Data Plan
No, GPRS isn't free. You need to go into a data plan
depending on the network that operates it. Nothing
is free in this world especially with telecomunication.
Some might have Free GPRS maybe on a trial run etc.
on my nokia i have a BT genie simcards this gives me unlimited wap and gprs for free also 300txts per month its not the newer 02 online sim they only allow 300min of wap/gprs....
anyway i used to use gprs on wa all the time on my 3510i then i got my xda...
using the GPRS connection for the net dont work for me but yet works with the wap explorer but if i use my wap dialup conection i get free internet useasge but i think its only like 20kb/s which is quite cool really shame it dont work on gprs though
John - just goes to show how little you know about what you're posting on then, doesn't it?
Quest
Hi Anon,
Are you trying to tell me you can get free GPRS
on your O2xda? I would love to know how you do it
then......that is if you care to share here.
WAP over GPRS on O2 incurs no charge, you need to speak to your network as this is not something that is true across all networks.
Quest
Dont worry, I already found a way to use GPRS on my
O2Xda surfing the internet for FREE.
Would you care to illuminate the rest of us Quest? We like free!
Free Mobile Web
Does Anyone know how i can get Free Mobile Web over GPRS. If anyone does then PLEASE let me know.
Did you know the word "gullible" does not appear in any dictionary?
Free GPRS (maybe...)
I sometimes hear that if you configure the WAP/MMS access point name instead of the internet one, you may get fee connectivity since WAP is usually billed on the service level, and MMS is billed per transaction. If you don't get IP, you may be able to get free mobile-to-mobile traffic, or maybe even find a proxy which will allow browsing.
I'm just relaying what I heard here. I have not tested anything, I do not recommend doing this, and I definitely recommend not assuming something is free until you get the bill. Your mileage may vary beyond all comprehension.
I found some web pages talked about o2 offering free WAP and txt messages... also mention of o2 as genie etc. This may all be old news?
O2 Wap / Mobile Internet settings:

Hi.
I have the old genie free wap access too. Until about a month ago, O2 allowed access through port 80 (WEB http) and 6201 (Wap wsp) but they have just blocked port 80 so I can now only get the crappy o2 active site and for anyhing else i need to go through the 'find' option at the bottom of the o2 Active site. Problem is I can't get half the bloomin' wap sites I used to get and I resent having to use the active home page to view anything, I don't like moaning because I only pay £10 a month and get free wap dialup over gsm (no gprs) but i think it's a bit below the belt to just block me. anyone else having this problem?
Is there anyway to tunel through 6201 or can I use a different proxy for http traffic (o2 give 193.113.200.195, which has stopped working) cos I'd like to be able to get my active sync working mobile again.
HELP ME!!!!!!
my gprs is almost free... $4.99USD/month
only ports 80/110/25/995/443 and some other port are open though... enough for me.
Re: Freebies
Hi, This is my first posting on this forum, so I hope I understand the question properly. I'm using a very old Genie (O2) SIM card. This gives no GPRS, but practically unlimited GSM (cellular line) dialup WAP access via shortcode 915000 or 07712927927.
Username o2wap
Password password
My GSM WAP proxy settigs are:
HTTP 193.113.200.195 Port 8080
WAP 193.113.200.195 Port 9201
SECURE WAP 193.113.200.200 Port 9203
SOCKS 193.113.200.195 Port 1080
I'm using an i-Mate PDA 2K (Blue Angel)
I can surf WAP and web pages, including some secure servers, e.g. Amazon, but since some time last month, it hasn't let me log in to this forum or my internet banking account.
I find sometimes my links to WAP pages in Favourites stop working; they work again after I delete and re-create them. I find links to WAP pages only work if they begin wsp://
and I suspect mine got changed to http:// during synchronisation with ActiveSync.
Hope this helps
John

With the current weakness of the dollar, $4.95 will get you about 1.2MB of GPRS use in rip-off britain with rip-off O2 currently!

Free T-Mobile Web over WAP connection...how to get everythin

So I've been using my T-mobile with the free WAP connection web browsing. This does allow FULL web browsing across port 80. If this is the case, is there any way to set up a proxy server that runs on port 80 that could forward all SSL/other data thus allowing us to access all web content for free? Someone let me know!! Thanks a lot.
Matt
I am also using TMO for my internet, forgot to pay the cable bill, and noticed I can't access HTTPS web sites and am also looking into this and how to fix it.

:? Now how does this work or get setup? been looking around these fourms all day and night. :?
:? downloaded a freebe WAP browswer - can't seem to connect. RAS error :?
:? changed network settings to everything i saw on these forums - still nothing :?
I found that using a proxy server on port 80 allows me to connect to web sites using HTTPS, just do a search for free proxy servers and its kind hit and miss but after about 4 servers I found one that works, granted a little slow but I have access that I didn't before.
What about other services (ports) besides https, such as IM, FTP, etc.? Have we figured out a way to map these services through a proxy on port 80? Do we need to find a free proxy server that supports SOCKS? Could we just set one up on our personal computers to do this?
I have an unlocked Samsung p735. T-mobile has blocked port 80 and Java and I cannot get rid of their cert. nonsence. Of course they claim they are not blocking anything so my relationship with tech support end in less than friendly terms Can anyone help me to open port 80 and get all of T-mobile certs off my phone?
Thank you,
Teri :roll: :?:

XDA IIs POP3 over GPRS ?

Im sure this is a fairly basic question for you guys buy here Go’s!
I have recently become the proud owner of an XDA IIs , Question is I have set up my GPRS settings as per instructions from O2, So web browsing, text and MMS all seems to be fine, However is it also possible to access my POP3 account via GPRS / LAN ??
Account in question is an easilymail account server address “customermail.easily.co.uk “ seems to work if I swap back to dial up and access via wanadoo / yahoo dial up
(O2 access is PAYG online 300)
Any thoughts / help much appreciated
You can't access a pop account via GPRS, you have to access it through O2's Mobile web service. You should have the settings in your IIs
it depend on the network you use i can recieve my mails from my normal internet pop3 mail box but i cant send them over SMTP
which i asume is because my cellphone network block the ports of SMTP but not pop3
O2 UK have 2 different types of GPRS access WAP & Mobile WEB.
Normally you would use the O2 Mobile Web GPRS settings to get full internet access. Unfortunatly this is not available to O2 PAYG customers only contract/post pay customers. As a PAYG customer you can only use the WAP GPRS.
Its something i have had a row with them recently. I always knew it was not available but on the online info for the PAYG it clearly stated that the free 1MB GPRS was for WAP & WEB access. But after complaining and even telling them if it is true then they are false advertising and i would be complaining to trading standards they confirmed its not available.
They have even now restricted Dialup GSM WAP access to WAP only. That used to provide full internet access although at the slower speed of 9600. My contract sim gives me 500 free GSM WAP minutes and the online PAYG cards my wife and daughter use give 300 GSM WAP Minutes with the £10 topup. So i made quite a lot of use of it originally.
If you don't mind the extra hassle there are some wap email sites that will grab and display your pop email for you.
wsp://mail2web.com/pda/
That is actually PDA formatted instead of wap formatted. You can also access it from PC but just change the wsp:// to http://
Hope this helps

Probably teaching granny to suck eggs here but just in case you don't know, the SMTP server for O2 uk is smtp.o2.co.uk
using this with your incoming email server should allow you to send as well as receive when using UK O2 mobile web tariff. This obviously won't work via WiFi but U should still be able to receive.

Just trying to help you.
As a reminder, you have the web connection and the wap connection.
Concerning pages, both IE and OPERA have in the settings the "mobile view".
In France, both work perfectly well. However, depending on the contract package you have, whilst WAP could be free, WEB is paid for.
I would suggest you contact your provider who could be able to help you configure your Cruise.
Good luck, Allah Ma'ak.
