Guest Deanus2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 I have try orange world free for a month on my c500 at the mo and i rang them this morning to find if they include msn messenger in on this free trial but i was on hold for 9 mins and then he came back and said there a little grey on this area and to contact Microsoft about it, i didn't think this was right but thought oh well will try. so i'm just wondering wheter anyone knows if MSN messenger is included in this free months trial? Cheer :)
Guest Confucious Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 I *believe* that what I have is free data access for the firt month I am having problems logging on to the Orange website to confirm this (just get a blank page when I submiyt my password) but if so it would include all data incl. MSN, not just Orange world (otherwise I could end up with a very large first bill :!: )
Guest mikekirk Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 The free month would include MSN Messenger as an Orange World tariff basically gives you a data allowance you can do anything you like with. Just be aware you will probably have to say if you exceed your data allowance. i suggest downloading a copy of the excellent All Locations GPRS Traffic Counter. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest mikekirk Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 That should have said pay, not say. :-) Must remember to proof read my T9! Posted from my SmartPhone!

Guest Confucious Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 And try not to post twice :) I've just downloaded the GPRS counter - it seems to be just what I was looking for so i'll try it out then work out wether it's worth payngthe tenner for. Thanks
Guest Deanus2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 i have the all locations app but it dont seem to record the data sent and received :)
Guest Confucious Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 Have you downloaded the manual? - It explains a lot better than I can what to do :)
Guest mikekirk Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 You need to make sure it is set to monitor the correct data connection in your phone, otherwise it won't log any traffic.
Guest Confucious Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 After RTFMing I thought I'd sussed it. I was logging data but when I checked this morning and found I'd transfered 140Mb yesterday I panicked! I was logging BT data and had backed up my phone - D'Oh! :oops: The only other conections I have are IR, USB or different speeds - what do i select for GPRS? Thanks
Guest Deanus2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 i have just selected my connection as Orange GPRS, is this right? Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest mikekirk Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 Yup. Orange GPRS is correct. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Confucious Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 I was talkinhg about the traffic counter under settings->connection - what do I select there? GPRS is not an option that is available to me. :)
Guest Deanus2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 it wasn't to me until today! I thought it had something to do with my number being ported over today...i guess
Guest arotne Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 So, Confucious what happened then. Not sure I understood. Are you paying for 140 MB? For Deanus2004. With Orange it's £1/1MB and you can set that under the counter app
Guest Confucious Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 No , I had it set to count my Bluetooth connection and as I had backed my phone up to my PC useing BT I had transferred 140Mb - Not even orange cab charge me for that tho! :) When I checked again under connections yesterday i had Orange WAp, Orange GPRSetc as well as 115200, 56000 etc and selected Orange GPRS but it is not showing any data being transferred (and I have certainly downlooaded some emails tc), I have just checked under connections again and now ONLY have the 4 Orange options and no serial port speeds, I have Curr. Conn. set to Orange GPRS and Traffic Counter Enabled but it still isn't regestering anything. Anyone got any ideas why it's not working for me?
Guest Confucious Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Ok. Ehen I posted yesterday I was not getting anything. Now, without changing anything my data usage is showing up. Strange, but true! :roll:
