@joberns What you did was right but you have to wait within 24 hours for the actual activation. Just monitor your GPRS from time to time to see if you are already connected. Enjoy! |

@mcbernz007
you should've specified your network, but i'd assume its sun.
double check your settings, if you have the correct apn, your phone will connect to GPRS, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be able to browse/surf right away, you must have the correct i.p address too.
(...if your apn is mms, it will still connect to GPRS but wont be able to surf for it is exclusively for mms as it implies, while minternet, can connect either, but could or couldn't possibly surf/browse.)
so... your issue "might not" be about connecting to GPRS... |

Need a little help with the Sun prepaid sim that I bought. I previously had another Sun prepaid sim which I used for browsing. I "ruined" that simcard when I tried to use it in a micro dual simcard holder. I accidentally cut too much of it. I got the micro dual simcard holder to work for my K700 but I ruined my Sun simcard so I bought another one. My mistake was that I erased the gprs settings on my phone.
I "activated" gprs by sending "ACTIVATE" to 2300. I tried using the settings I got from "the mall" and also the one from Sony Ericsson and also the settings suggested here but I still couldn't browse. I got the mms to work though.
I've tried using both "wap" and "minternet" as the apn but still couldn't get it to work. Sun's customer service wasn't any help as they replied that wap was still in the testing phase and was not available. Any ideas why I can't connect?
Day by day as I use my Sony Ericsson Phone, I find more and more reasons not to go back to Nokias.

@ dinky
the settings found in ericsson site is correct. (or use this one...i.p.address: 192.168.164.21)
that should work.
the problem is, network congestion... you'll surely be able to browse between 1 am to 8am. sometimes, if lucky enough, you may be able to browse any time of the day but hell slow. |

@ex_crusader thanks. That's the same IP address from the settings I got from "the mall" but I still couldn't get it to work. I will try to connect in the wee hours as you suggested. Hope it works out. By the way, what apn should I use, wap or minternet?

use the wap apn, for most of the sun subrscribers here claim that it is free of charge, while minternet is charged 25cents/kb, furthermore, i dont think minternet still works, correct me if i'm wrong. |

I was able to connect! But it really was rather slow. I used wap as apn thanks @ex_crusader!
Has anyone been able to set up their email client using sun cellular? I tried to connect using the account I used for browsing but "connection failed". Any ideas?

@ dinky
e-mail client works fine..
you have to take in to consideration the correct settings.. and also your e-mail provider... (hotpop is ok, and others... i dont know about yahoo). and lastly, input the DNS address of Sun which can be found in sun's website.. |
