Pocket PC connection using GPRS

Hi,

I am trying to connect using a Nokia 6310i and GPRS.

I previously had this working both on my laptop and with my Palm TX.

I have changed laptops and bought a Pocket PC to replace my Palm TX. I now
can't connect, the bluetooth connects to the phone and the phone tries to
establish a GPRS connection. It then disconnects with the message "subscribe
to GPRS first."

The phone IS set up for GPRS, but I still couln't get the connection to
work.

I switched back to my Palm TX and used the Network Connection wizard, after
a few clicks, "bingo" the GPRS connection through the phone works fine with
the Palm TX!

All I can assume is that there is something wrong in the set up on both the
Laptop & the Pocket PC.

Any ideas?

Thanks,


Charles Turner

Perhaps this helps:

Perhaps you need a specific dialing string, but that is dependent on your
Nokia...

I had this problem and it was down to the phone settings....
I had to
Edit active access point > Alias for access point: orangeinternet
and also set
GPRS access point: orangeinternet

Both need setting.

Re: Pocket PC connection using GPRS

Hi Brett,

Thanks, but this dosen't work either, not too surprised as my Palm DOES work
with the existing phone settings.

So still at a bit of a loss as to what to do.

Thanks once again,

Charles
