Guest emerica Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 i guess i am not subscribed with the GPRS service from Fido....... Do you know any good plans that includes GPRS internet for FIDO? The plan i am using is a very basic plan, so i guess it does not come with a GPRS internet service...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 emerica If you only have WAP over GPRS then you could also try using proxy port 8080. It might give you better access to download Internet sites. Change proxy to Create a proxy connection connect from the internet connects to: WAP Network proxy: 205.151.011.011:8080 type: HTTP You might still have problem with Messenger and Imail POP3 though as this most often needs a full internet connection.

Guest emerica Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I have just subscribed to the Fido GPRS Internet, and it works with the internet settings that was provided above, THX A LOT! but the charge is kinda expensive: In Canadian dollar: $0.03 per KB $5.00 per 500 KB $25.0 per 5MB $50.0 unlimited And if you have subscribe to a plan for example the $5 plan. Once you have used over 500KB of internet access, they just cut your service out. I have subscribed to the $5 plan yesterday, just to try how it works. I went on to yahoo.com with everything (displays picture, and everything else) then after that i wasn't able to access any other websites anymore... :roll: I am now thinking if i should subscribe to the unlimited plan..... but the problem is what are the chances that i would access internet with my Mio as long as the pocket MSN feature is not out yet. The only thing i am interested in doing with the internet feature with my Mio is to use the MSN messenger.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
