c500 orange WAP

[Guest mrw1004]

Hi,

How do you use a WAP browser on a c500? I’m on Orange in the UK I have a 3mb GPRS package a month and a separate WAP package. I upgraded the phone from a moto v500 (which has a WAP browser) when I went to Orange world on that phone the WAP time which was connected via GPRS did not come from my GPRS 3mb package. When I use IE on the c500 to go to orange world the data transfer comes off the GPRS package. Can I use orange world via a WAP browser on the c500 and not have it use up my GPRS allocation ?

All the best,

mw

You just need to use APN orangewap :D Try the following settings to force WAP over GPRS.

Settings-Data Connections

Menu-Edit Connections

Proxy connections

Menu-Add

Create proxy connection

Connects to: WAP network

Proxy (name:port): 192.168.71.35:8080

Create GPRS connection.

In Settings - Data connections

Untick 'Auto detect settings'

Set 'Select network: WAP network'

If you want to use APN Orangeinternet again then just tick auto detect settings :D

I have a 4MB GPRS package.

Does it mean if I went over the 4MB limit, I can switch to WAP and use up that time without nay additional costs?
