@ora2: If you use a Symbian phone, I am sure you will find something along that line at http://mobile.my-symbian.com

spent the last hour trying 2 access internet with no luck. Tried 2 other sims with same result. I thot I had caught Amby's bug. The interesting thing was that though GPRS was still attached I kept getting a mesase saying login failed. With the other 2 sims GPRS was not even available. But joy, joy, joy all is now well as evidenced by this post. Going 2 have another stab @ accessing the internet with d PC tomorrow. |

@TGP: My sister who had been able to browse no longer has GPRS active on her line as well.
At my end, I have been on till now. I am able to browse the net on my 9500 and also on PC.
Issue is, what do we really expect from a service that was never announced and is still being setup and undergoing testing?

@AYA:I'm inclined 2 agree with u. However, I think that noting whatever problems we have on the board can only help the provider i.e. b\c u can be sure they know we are surfing. Feedback is what they expect from beta testers, abi. |

My guess is that MTN is randomly deactivating some line from access to gprs in order to reduce the traffic. I'm still experiencing the problem I have, but my blue triangle is still present. Though it comes and goes. I set my pc to redial the mtn at 30sec intervals, and got a connection at the 53rd try. That means my phone, sim and settings are all in order.

Well, the bug has caught me too. I woke up this morning and while my phone connects, it is not receiving data. Mail, web, WAP, all not browsing 
If my source was right, end of freebie.
