Guest Honest John Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have moved from Orange after 6 years to T-Mobile as they currently have the best offers on and Orange seem not to care. I am now using a Vario as my main phone, but want to use my C500 as a back up. I have unlocked the C500 (network and apps) and it works as a phone with no problems. However, I am a little stuck on how to get it working on T-Mobile's GPRS so that I can run active sync and get my email over the air. It doesn't help that I haven't actually got the phone in front of me at the moment, but from memory, the choices that are available for WAP and GPRS settings seem to be pre-set choices set up by Orange and, of course, I want to use T-Mobile's. So, if any of you guys out there have swapped from Orange to T-Mobile with a C500 and actually configured the WAP/GPRS- and got it working - I would be most grateful if you could step me through what settings you used etc. Many thanks.

Guest lescargot Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have done exactly the same last week (see ya orange, hello t-mobile and vario). I used the smartphone repository settings section of this site and my c500 is working perfectly. http://www.modaco.com/Settings_by_Network-t200757.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Honest John Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sorry for being ultra cautious on this, but just so I don't cock things up, when I go to , I am presented with a number of options Internet connections Work Connection Wap Connections Secure Wap Connections. Under <Wap Connection>, my C500 was set to (Don't know why as everything seemed to work.) Should that actually be set to ? And, effectively, what I appear to be doing is leaving the services still called etc, but simply redirecting them to the T-Mobile access points. Lastly - and please forgive me being pedantic - but when the helpful links you gave indicate that the T-Mobile Phone Number is 447973100500, did you enter that exactly as quoted or should there be a "+" sign or "00" in front? Many thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lescargot Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 In the data connections menu I have everything set as automatic (that way you can connect by USB or Bluetooth or GPRS). From here you press the menu button-edit connections-gprs connections. I just deleted the orange ones and created new t-mobile ones (although i think you could have both). Under T-mob, dial up connection phone number i used 44...... (as stated). Good luck Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
