XDA II SIM unlocked: how to use GPRS to connect to the Net..

[ttm]

Hi,

I just unlocked my XDA II and I'm using a Vodafone SIM in it. How do I utilize GPRS, WAP and Modem connectivity with this SIM? Is it possible to get rid of all the O2 crap installed on it, i.e. "clean" it up properly?

A new skin would be cool!

Cheers,

you are by no means the first who ask this question

And what's the answer? Is it possible at all?

yes it possible the xda is not limited to o2 in anyway
you just have to set it up
to do this you need to know the connection point your provider use for mms, grps and wap (if you also want that)

there are many posts which explane how you set it up in the network forum
but if you cant find any i could explane it step by step i suppose

i dont know much about o2's settings but if it's today stuff you can turn it off under today in settings

otherwise you can always make your own rom at www.yorth.net and get a more pure non o2 custom rom

you can get tons of skins as in today skins on many sites
and at yorth.net you can also get phone skins or have explaned how to make them yourself

Works fine now, thanks. Vodafone's acces point is named 'internet' (which was easy to read off the SIM), and the user/passwd is web/web (had to call them up to get that). So GPRS works fine. Needs some more info to set a Modem connection, but it shouldn't be hard.

The reason for my original posting, was that I was lead to believe that O2 had "locked" the device, which is not the case at all.

Anyway, thanks for info. Btw, the link you mention does not work...

Cheers,

Ttm, I'm confused. :shock: I am in the same situation as you (xda II with vodafone sim), yet i cannot connect GPRS using your settings. The settings I connect with are APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk with the same user/password as you. This connects fine yet i cannot send or receive emails.

Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something in the setup? what do you reckon? :?:

cheers, coj

well one thing is to be able send mails and another is to get mail working
can you get IE working ?

[cojones]

Yes, IE is working fine and dandy

[Rudegar]

then i doubt it's a grps issue

if you put in all the mail settings like
pop3 and smpt if you used those protocols
and it still dont work with your type of mail protocol
then i would contact the phone company to see if they rout
your type of mails
