guys, is it just my line or wala pa talagang gprs ang sun? i've been trying to access gprs for the last few days pero la talaga. can someone be kind enough to post the configuration of sun's gprs. so i can check my settings, baka mali lang setup ko kaya wala.

@odyig, Sun gprs has been erratic lately... nevertheless,
1. be sure to have your gprs activated by the CS... check if you have gprs already by looking at your phone's indicator otherwise, any setting would be useless.
2. let APN=minternet
3. a. If using your phone as an external model, connect your phone to your PC/PDA/notebook with a connection of your choice (cable/BT/IR) and you're ready to go.
b. If using your phone as a wap browser over gprs, find a working IP address for your wap gateway (o2, Ericsson gateway, etc)

I just switched my nokia 6210 (globe postpaid) for a 3650 of sun cellular last Tuesday.. it'g great.. i only cashed out 1000 pesos as advance 1 month postpaid payment (sun's plan 1000).. Basically the signal is always full.. I live in Angeles City and brought the phone to Baguio last weekend.. still I get a powerful signal... the only low point is... the GPRS and MMS features still does not work... I tried calling the 200 Customer service.. (which I did not wait for a long tim eb4 an operator answers!!!!)... they said that the GPRS and MMS features are still under enhancements... however if I connect GPRS is free until the 21st of April....But... in my opinion.. it's worth the switch... am once a loyal Globe subscriber... but i got tired of them getting money from me.. heheh ... so why not try speding for the Golongweis... hehehe.... IT's WORTH THE SWITCH

ayaw pa rin gprs ng sun! any idea why?
@gondae
swerte mo tsong! dito sa manila walang stock ang sun ng 3650. when i got my line i was asking for the 3650 pero lang stock and no definite dates kung kailan dadating so i just settled for a 7650.

I bought my SUN prepaid sim 3 days ago and called the Hotline for GPRS activation but until now no GPRS yet. I've been following it up everyday and they said to just wait.... So disappointed...

I called Customer Service again.. they got my name and promised to call me tomorrow for the 3650 gprs settings... the setting I downloaded from the THE MALL as they say is wrong and you have to get the settings from the Sun Fullfillment Team (Whoever those guys are!) The operator said sorry a lot of times... i brought up the free connection because.. I still can;t connect since i bought the phone... they just said sorry, pls bear with us... Ganyan na lang ba talaga?.... if there is anyone here from SUN could you please tell me... how could i connect through GPRS!!!!!!.. here is my number +639228001493

@would anyone know kung magkano charging ng gprs ng sun? pati yata wap over gprs nila may charge...i checked my balance this morning & i was deducted a big amount of load on my sun prepaid.
Posted by Jowi
just received a txt msg from Sun, that all GPRS dial ups & data downloaded from the Mall will be charged on an affordable rates...kasama ba ang WaP surfing over gprs dito?
Posted by Mitz501
ubusin mo load mo and see what happens with your gprs connection . . .
Posted by gondae
Guys, Called 200 Hotline again and asked for proces.. this time they answered me in a bit rowdy way.. the guy on the other line was obviously not that informed about the rates but is talking to someone on the phone answering my questions... He said everytime you connect to GPRS (login) you get billed 2.00 and if you are just surfing.. you are not billed... but if you download an application they say you also get billed 2.00.... so if this is true.. you could surf all day for free and just get billed 2.00 for the initial login... IF THIS IS TRUE!... I guess... the guys at SUN are still confused how they are going to bill us...can anyone call 200 and ask how are we billed?... coz i am really confused...
NOTE: Growing Pains are really confusing!
Posted by Jazzbo
@gondae,
I guess the lesson here is experiment with GPRS on a prepaid SIM, not a postpaid plan! Evidently Gokongwei's people still have to get their act together and the GPRS customers are giving them a lot of confusion...
Posted by ynohtna
Their CS doesnt even know wap over gprs and csd and its rates.Confussing!Iv noticed that CS tends to end ur query asap and theyr always a bit high pitchd(somewhat pressurd in answering).We just hv to bear wid their growing pains but it shld not be an excuse all the time.
Posted by gondae
Now they are talkin'.... called CS again this morning and she has an answer to the billing rates... it's final 25 cents will be billed for every byte downloaded / uploaded. But, to my dismay.. the CS told me a different rate the other day and i used GPRS>.. now they told me another rate... What the @!!@@&** so how will my GPRS access yesterday be billed? Sana lang i wish CS would really now.. all the technical things their customers are asking.
But.. Sun is still a nice service though.
PS.
You can change your op logo for sun by configuring it in logomanager as (515 05) Operator....
Posted by GOwin
what?! 25cents per byte?
Posted by gondae
sorry bro... kilobyte
Posted by odyig
how much does sun charge for every mms sent?
Posted by WestIce
Hi... got a couple of questions regarding Sun Cellular. Hope someone can help me =)
1. Presently, how is the signal coverage and signal strength of Sun Cellular, is it already at par with Globe and Smart?
2. How is the voice call quality and SMS service? I read in this thread that there were some SMS that didn't arrive. Does this still happen?
Thanks a lot guys
Cheers!
Posted by gondae
My answers.. I have two SUN Cellular SIMS Postpaid and Prepaid
1. Signal... I'ts not that great but satisfying... i went to Baguio from Angeles City and the signal was impressive... in my room full bar... in my girlfreinds house... 1 bar to no signal... some places indoors have no signal.. but it;s a good start... wide coverage for a network months old...
2. I haven;t experienced late messages sent... but messages received i have.. but not that frequently...
