Dear All,
I've been trying to setup my T68i on the AT&T GSM/GPRS network and would like some help. I've been following the directions at:
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/stepbystep/gprs.asp
And it seems to be working well up to the point where it connects. I can get the iPaq to dial out the **99***1# with the T68i via the IR port. However, it won't connect. I have no idea if "1" is the correct APN number, let alone if AT&T GSM supports the ETSI dial-up code.
I do know that the APN that I setup for AT&T GPRS Data on my T68i is "proxy". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

I tried to connect my T68/Bluetooth to my IPAQ using AT&T. From the ATTWS site (http://www.attwireless.com/mobileinternet) you can download the Mobile Professional software for AT&T; however, it will only use the IR connection not Bluetooth. AT&T technical support does not support Bluetooth. I'm still trying to connect using some of the settings I've found in the software. Let me know if you can connect. |

I was able to get Bluetooth and GPRS to work on AT&T Wirlesses GPRS network. You all basically had the basics down, just one thing missing, the correct APN.
Your "dial-up" number will be *99#. Your APN will be "proxy" (no quotes, all lower case). Everything else in your setup is default. When you're prompted for a user name, password, and domain on your connection, leave it all blank and submit the form. You'll then be connected in just a few seconds!
If you need help setting things up, go to MS PPC site for detials:
