Notwithstanding I did use their system to try it out. The settings came through OK by SIM and the profile installed properly. However GPRS is still not apparently enabled on the account (the triangle does not appear) so a connection fails. Rebooted several times and tried in a T39 and a Treo180 in SE London.

Just enter any phone type and your number and the next screen displays the full settings... well it does for T39!

Have I missed something ? the install sms works fine on my T610. GPRS and picture mesg work a treat. A lot cheaper than TMobile PAYG which I ended up trying last month. username=user password= >>Err.. at £5/Mb what's the point if Orange JT gives full GPRS (not just WAP >>GPRS) for less?

Nope, I tried it yesterday and again this morning, to no avail, with a T68i and a Tungsten T3. There's no indication of GPRS on the main phone display, going into the "Status" page says "GPRS not allowed" and dialling *99# results in an error saying "Network Problem". I read somewhere that the offical launch date is 1st July so I'm hoping it might work tomorrow, but it's pretty poor if they've got all the info on their web site but haven't enabled the service!

Some of the bulk loads to T Mobile have had to be re-submitted hence some phones are not currently GPRS enabled, but they will be. As an update, after having my phone explicitly provisioned for GPRS (it had apparently been missed) I now have GPRS working on the phone. Now I just need to set up my Palm to use it ...

No problems connecting here at all using a Nokia 8310. Settings arrived fine and I have successfully used GPRS a dozen or so times since. I am a little surprised at the cost. I was hoping for something a little cheaper or even a promotional offer. Free like O2 for a year or two may be :o) Yahoo's mail service doesn't seem to work. Their WAP site identifies the network as T-Mobile and says all T-Mobile users need to register. After inputting the authentication code I am told that there is a problem and that I cannot use the site. Also, I can't log in to the Vxtras site as I can't input numbers into the passcode box. Mind you there's so little left on Vxtras that I won't really need that site any longer. I was hoping for something > a little cheaper or even a promotional offer.

Keep an eye on the Virgin Mobile Website over the next couple of months ;-) GPRS WAP is not formally launched yet. > http://www.virginmobile.com/mobile/services/messaging/index.html > > ewan Does anyone know the settings for this ?

How do I manually set up my phone for Picture Messaging? It might take you a few minutes and you'll need to take a look at your phone's manual for instructions. Here are the service settings: Name: Picture Message IP Address: 193.030.166.001 Username: user Password: [blank] Homepage Name: Virgin Mobile Messaging Server Address: http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002 |
