Qtek 8500 T-Mobile UK GPRS / MMS settings

[Guest major_sarcasm]

I have a T-Mobile contract and use a Qtek 8500 (which they don't support). I'd previously set up all the GPRS and MMS stuff before, but neglected to write down the settings ;)

I had the occasion to update my ROM to the latest Qtek version today (3.6.251.0) and of course wiped all my settings... Cue time to start trawling the 'net to find the appropriate settings again. After what seemed like a monumental amount of effort (there seemed to be a lot of conflicting websites), I collated all the relevant info and thought I'd post it here in an effort to spare someone else my pain.

GPRS Internet

Go to Settings -> Connections --> GPRS

Create GPRS connection called 'GPRS Internet'

Connects to: The Internet

Access point: general.t-mobile.uk

User name: user

Password: wap

DNS and IP blank



GPRS MMS service

Go to Settings -> Connections --> GPRS

Create GPRS connection called 'Picture Message' with following settings...

Connects to: WAP Network

Access point: general.t-mobile.uk

User name: user

Password: wap

DNS and IP blank

Goto MMS account and choose Menu --> Options --> Account options...

Then choose --> MMS --> Menu --> MMSC Settings --> Menu --> New

Name: Picture Message

MMSC URL: [url="http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002"]http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002[/url]

WAP Gateway: 149.254.210.135

Port: 8080

Connect Via: WAP network

Max Sending Size: 300k

WAP Version: WAP 2.0

Press Done and then select the new connection. Press Menu --> Set as default[/codebox]

These settings seem to work ok for me. Just remember to look out for the difference between the [b]t-mobile.uk[/b] and [b]t-mobile.co.uk[/b] in the settings above. If you mix them up or get them wrong (like I did), it won't work :D

Hope this helps someone :(
