Hi guys,

Hope someone can help me on this one! – Just got a SE K500i and am trying to configure it for connection to the internet via 02 GPRS. I have installed the software and driver for it and also have the cable connected. When I click connect it says opening port and then says something about Operator Assisted or Manual Dial, and says that I should type in a phone number into the phone (*99***1#) and press call/send but when I do what it says it comes up with APPLICATION ERROR on the phone…

Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong? – Please!

Call your operator's assistance and ask for them to send you in a smart sms the phone's settings for gprs internet connection. Also you need to ask them to activate your account for this service. God bless.

Make sure your K500 modem drivers are installed:
Windows XP: control pannel>>system>>hardeware>>device manager
Look under "Modems"
It should say 'K500 Modem' or something similar, if the modem is not installed, re-install your phone software.
Now make a new dial-up connect, linking to the k500 modem, enter your gprs username and password (if any) and make the phone number '*99***2#'
Then click connect and it should work perfectly!
