I´m traveling in Spain for the next few weeks, and I bought a Vodaphone pre-paid SIP. The manual (as much as I can understand it, which is not much) insists that GPRS (or at least WAP) is enabled (€0.02 a KB). When I turn the radio stack on, the "G" promptly appears in the status bar as soon as the network connection is acquired. I entered the following parameters (which I obtained from the web):
APN: airtelwap.es
User name: wap@wap
Password: wap125
In the instructions, there was also "Direccion IP" which I assume is a name server. I tried with or without it, but I can´t get to any web pages. The device (XDA II) connects to GPRS, but I can´t even ping what the IP stack says is my router.
Could someone please help me with this? The manual of the SIM says that it is a "self-rechargable" card (whatever that means). Is it possible that they only allow WAP, or I have to go through some sort of proxy?
My Spanish is extremely poor, and I´m sure nothing good will come out of trying to call tech support (after all, it never helps even with English-speaking operators in the States) :-)
Thanks,
Mike.
