Some guys on airtel were able to do that. But not me.

Hey please tell me the settings.

Manish...go to Data Communication> SMS Access & select the GPRS option. I've tried it on Airtel and it works fine...( I think & hope its fine)..I'll know for sure when I get my bill...If there are no charges for the SMSs 've sent ...i guess it works

Someone on prepaid should be able to tell.

I used it about a year and half back on airtel prepaid...in 3 months i had sent free messages running in thousands but i then they wised up to it and it abruptly stopped working. This was with a nokia btw. It has never worked for me with hutch prepaid so i guess they have already made amends to prevent such misuse.

Hey guys does this work on T610 ? Because there is no settings for sms in data commu !
Posted by govigov
I thought it did work for me. But the airtel's balance info was messed up at that time.
Posted by nitesh
What about the settings for T610?
Posted by mrao
Nitesh...what do you mean no option for sms access in T610
Check data communication...should give you 3 options....1) data accounts 2) preferred service 3) sms access
select sms access...should give you 2 options a) GSM b) GPRS...try selecting GPRS.....if you are on Orange prepaid....forget about making this work....Airtel prepaid...i dunno...worth a try
Posted by nitesh
I just have only one option data accounts:-(

Nitesh...what firmware version do you have on your phone?
Press >*<<*<* to find out
Posted by nitesh
I m using r1b007
Posted by mrao
Hmmm....I think thats why...Go to a service cenytre and get your FW flashed to R6C005..
Posted by govigov
R1b? That is truly an ancient firmware, one of the buggiest t610 firmware available. You really have to upgrade your software.
Posted by shyam335
mine is running on r1s and still running good and strong (and i was surprised to find there are bugs in r3 and r4 which r1s and r2s didnt had) .
Posted by nitesh
have to think ! By the way i am getting new cell soon and my T610 is a grey;-)
Posted by whizkidd
Why doesn't everything not work with me? :-(
Posted by nitesh
sorry whiz! What happen to your ngage?
Posted by mrao
No problem if its gray. Se service will just charge u around 500- 550 rs for the fw upgrade.
Posted by govigov
Whiz has not yet bought an ngage. When are you buying it whiz?
Posted by nitesh
nah! Getting new cell may be next month and my T610 is fine its been 18 months old and no problem!:-D

That sucks yaar ! Why should they charge for fw upgrades ? Motorola does it for free on their phones even if its grey. The guys at the service centre do not question if your phones grey or white .
Posted by mrao
I think they do it free within the warranty period. With moto im not surprised, they do it free for gray phones. I guess thats one way of trying to get more people to buy moto phones:-)

I could send free sms via gprs when i was on hutch. But it doesnt seem to work on airtel:-(
Posted by whizkidd
My Ngage will come when the balance in my account increases from 200 bucks to about 20000. I'm hoping for it in few days time.
