I have had almost no GPRS service for the last 7-10 days. I have gone in circles with T-Mobile CS, and they have not been able to provide me with an answer. The folks at the local T-Mobile store told me that they were having the same problems. I rely on the GPRS for work, so I NEED the service. Anyone else having problems/recommend a fix? I use a P800 handset and it was working fine until the problems started! Help!!!! |

Update: I thought that the problem was solved when I had GPRS service for 2 days straight; T-Mobile felt that an upgrade on their end fixed it for all of us on the East Coast of the US who had this problem. WRONG! It has been out again for 3 days, and it is getting frustrating. Has ANYONE else experienced this outage? |

That is strange that you guys have had bad CS experiences... all of mine have been good when I've called. I've only called though to get the unlock codes for some of my phones so that my friends with AT&T here in Washington can borrow them, never because of service issues.
If you have an Ericsson T68i, I can tell you how to get free CSD WAP access, which could work for you til the GPRS network is up. |

I still may be able to help you.
Two things:
does the P800 allow you to set up your own WAP profiles?
and do you have access to a dial-up ISP other than AOL or NetZero? (Best is a corporate network) |

Yes, you can configure WAP settings, and yes, via Earthlink |

Ok, here is what you will want to do.
Go in your menu to Accounts, and create a new dial-up account. set the dial number to be any Earthlink access number, and name and password to be your earthlink name and password. if Earthlink requires you to enter a primary and secondary DNS address manually, go to the advanced tab, then the log in tab and enter these. you will then need to go to speed, and it will usually need to be 9600. and make sure that the connection type is analog. (not sure what menu because I don't have a P800)
Set the preferred mode to GSM only.
Next, create a new WAP profile and name it whatever you want. for the IP address, insert this: 194.237.106.073, no name or password. and set it to use the dial-up connection you just created.
I hope this will work for you. I used this gateway IP as recently as Sunday so I know it is valid. |
