GSM based net connection

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect to a normal ISP, using a GSM connection, instead of GPRS. I have data calls on my t-mobile account, but when i set up my isp details and dial it, the XDA tells me the remote computer is not responding, when it blatently is, cos i can dial it using my laptop.

Hi Dave,

If you are UK based T-Mobile have released their GPRS service last week. They have a number of packages including 0.075p per KB or £15 for 10MB.

Its not on their website but their staff know about it.

Your settings are wrong. Put the correct settings in. Ask someone who knows what the correct settings are in order to discover the correct settings :)

Maybe it's not all about wrong settings.

After I tried to connect to O2 using GSM from Danmark last week, I called O2 Germany and they told me it won't work. They have no roaming partner for GPRS in some countries and they disabled the GSM for whatever reason. The old numbers I could use to dial in last year won't work any longer. I get timeout error messages or "The connection you dialed does not answer". (It doesn't say it don't exist!)

Considering to quit O2 and use T-D1 again instead. I am very disappointed by the O2 net coverage.

OK, some networks do not support GSM data, and frequently networks will not have GPRS agreements with other networks in other countries.

Can you register onto Telia? In Denmark I believe they have GSM data @ 9.6kbps

You also need to make sure that your home network enables 'full' GSM data, maybe that's what you meant in your post. If they switched it off ask them ever so politely :) if they'll turn it back on.

I connect to the net using the wap number which is included in o2 minutes on the 250 package, (the gsm internet number was not included minutes) you can change the number dialled in the connection settings box. also set it to "always dial"

check the number dialled as it puts a prefix depending on country settings etc you also need data enable on your sim which is done thru your gsm provider. Sorry if i'm saying the obvious... hope this is of help

Dave, you need to have T-Mobile enable CSD (Circuit Switched Data), which is off by default. There is no charge to have this enabled.
