getting SP5 GPRS/mms to work on uk o2?

[Guest trevdixon]

I've downloaded the UK O2 settings from imates website, installed them onto my phone but i still cant access GPRS or send MMS messages, can anyone help?

[Guest shadamehr]

Yup - I can, as per mypost in the eTrust Antivirus for SP5 thread (post number 19):

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...hl=etrust&st=15

Go into your MMS app, into settings, into Account Setup etc, til you find the screen where you can change various options including the MMSC url address.

You SHOULD notice that the url address includes an UPPERcase letter 'O' for the O2 address. Change this to a lowerCASE letter 'o' and save it.

Then try sending and receiving. Should work fine. Bear in mind the major bug or issue I also discoverewd with the SP5 though...

To send or receive even a tiny MMS, the phone still requires a set limit of over 4MB free 'Storage' memory on the phone. Otherwise you will get a memory error.

Major flaw that i-mate have still not replied to me about, and I have also told them about the error I found in their settings CAB file, with no reply again.

But once again, to solve your issue, change the UPPERcase O to a lowerCASE o in the url address for the MMSC address.

Thanks,

I've changed the O to an o like you said. I've tried to send a mms and all that comes up is 'Info - unable to send message, your message will remain in the outbox'

I dont have a mini sd card so do you think i dont have enough free memory to send/ recieve?

Join the club. Mine dont work either and i downlaoded the .cab file, changed the O to an o and changfed the res QVGA and still no luck.

Look at it this way ..... you save 25p for every MMS you want to send.

Simple. LIE. or just rattle off the things that are better with it than a Nokia.

Also, if you do manage to find out to make it work, let me know, you are right, it would be nice to be able to send em, even though i wouldnt use the function after 2 days of sending comedy pics of myself to my mates (coz thats what its REALLY for).

I've found that if I have any active connection to the internet (either through GPRS, WiFi or via ActiveSync) then I get the "cannot send" message.

I have a SP5 with O2 (UK) Pay&Go, and can't access GPRS either. I downloaded the cab-file from i-mate.com, tried changing all different settings, but nothing.

I contacted O2 and ask if it was something general, but they said it should work fine, and referred my to the phone manufacturer (i-mate). I still haven't contacted them, though.

Anyone did?

[Guest PaceUK]

lol!

I remember all this ball ache ;)

sounds simpl but you guys do have all these services active dont you?

[Guest scsi]

Active? I bought the "kit" for £10, went home, called the "top up" number, topped it up by entering my credit card number, and that was that. The O2 suport didn't mention anything either.

Is anyone actually using GPRS wilth O2? I don't care about MMS, I need to able to browse the net and send/recieve email.

This is just driving me nuts... I am only using my new smartphone to like 50% becouse of this. ;)

[Guest PaceUK]

BINGO!

you have to phone customer services and active GPRS and activate MMS...

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO ALLOW GPRS, FAILURE TO EVEN BOTHER OR BE IN DENIAL OVER WILL MEAN U DONT GET THE SERVICES!

then just use the settings from iMate and it will work!

hth

[Guest PaceUK]

to be honest internet over pay as you go is complete nik-nak.

And just cos you dont have the net doesnt mean you only have 50% of the functionality ;-) nothing wrong with the phone, its the dodgy garage you bought the card from, 02 wont default every card to use the services because whats the point when not everyone is using them.

Its nothing to do with the phone. Its your nik-nak provider lol!

Come on now, "not bother" and "be in denial"?

As I told you, I bought a O2 pay&go SIM. The card came in a little envelope together with two small booklets. The one is called "Small Print", containing the legal stuff, and the other "Hello", containing info about getting started. It has the numbers for their different services, guides for topping up, etc. One page contains info about GPRS and wap/mms. It says that you will recieve settings for the phone withing 24 hours, etc... Another page states that you have 1 mb of free GPRS each month.

No mention AT ALL about needing to activate it, ANYWHERE.

So I contact the O2 suport via email, explain the problem and give them my phone number, so that they can check my settings with them. They say that it looks fine, and should work.

No mention AT ALL about needing to activate it, ANYWHERE.

Give it a break, man. Granted I'm from Sweden, and have only lived in the UK for 4 months, and don't know how everything works here, but this is just ridiculous. And where have I stated that the problem has to do with the phone?

I wont even comment on your last post, since I have been using GPRS for various purposes on different devices, including PocketPC's, for many years, and know what I can, and what I can't get out of it.
