imate sp5 orange gprs payg settings

[Guest gfmoore]

Hi, new to this forum, but couldn't find this info

I have an imate sp5 on an orange payasyougo sim

I have downloaded the official orange payg connections cab from clubimate, but the gprs settings don't seem to work. mms is okay

I have the large G at the top and get the small G above the strength meter, but then I get a Connection Failed, Check that you have network coverage. My strength meter is on full. I have had gprs working on another phone previously (or was it just wap?)

Orange tell me that I am set up for gprs, but who knows...

Anyone have orange payg gprs working on this or any smartphone ms mobile 5 edition

And/Or

Can anyone point to where I can find info on how the explorer - gprs - wap -proxy system works so I can try and trace through what is happening.

btw the sp5 works fine with wifi.

Regards

You could try these settings for 'GPRS Internet' on Orange PAYG...

These are from my O2 XDA Mini S on Orange PAYG...

Name: Orange GPRS

Modem: Celluar Line (GPRS)

Access point name: orangeinternet

Username: (blank)

Password: (blank)

Domian: (blank)

Leave 'Advance' tab alone as nothing should be in there.

Hit Finish

On Connections->Advanced->Select Networks I have...

First drop down box.. Orange GPRS selected.

Then tick 'This network connects to the internet' and

then also tick 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet'

Then on the 'Advanced' tab enter for WAP 192.168.071.035 Port 9201

That will allow your browser, email and msn to work with Orange PAYG GPRS Internet.

Hope that helps ok.

Thanks for replying ...

Uhmm interesting, however...

On the sp5 there is no Connections->Advanced->Select Networks (windows mobile 5) ?

On connections I can right click and get Advanced.

This brings up:

Internet Connection

Orange Internet

Work Connection

Automatic

WAP Connection

Orange WAP

Secure WAP Connection

Orange MMS

There is a Connections|Proxy

and on this I have

Orange Proxy

Connects from:

The Internet

Connects to:

WAP Network

Proxy (name:port):

192.168.71.35:9201

Which is similar I think.

I have spent about 3/4 hour with orange and we couldn't get anywhere

What bothers me is the proxy.

I don't understand how the link from explorer to gprs to proxy to web site works.

I suppose ie selects Orange Internet? This selects what? proxy?

It's all very wierd.

There is very little on how the Connection Manager process works. Without this knowledge I'm just trying everything in hope.

mms works so I think the gprs or wap is working - the phone can send and get data and it puts the little G above the strength meter anyway so gprs?

So anyone got a working sp5 on payg?

Just for anyone I've put my current settings here:
