So, I've got settings from all over the world-wide interbutt, posted in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7306&highlight=orange+gprs), and direct from a .cab file, all of them are the same, and do not work.

Whenever I attempt to connect to the orangeinternet access point it chunters along for a little while, then I get a little "cannot connect" notification box telling me "the answering modem has disconnected. To check your..... etc".

The MMS settings work fine, so it's probably not a wider issue with GPRS and my device. I have not tried the WAP settings, mostly because I have no interest in plain WAP-access. Even if it works, it is of no use, you know?

I'm on Orange's small business thingy (very small, there are only 4 of us on this plan), and they claim that GPRS is indeed enabled and it should just work. Of course, they also claimed they'd send settings to my phone over-the-air, but none have arrived in the 48 hours since I called. Can you even do that for Windows Mobile devices?

I'm using Orange's very own ROM 1.12.00 WWE with radio version 1.12.00.

Any help would be much appreciated. I just want to use IRC on the go! Actually, while we're on this, any good free IRC clients for windows mobile? I found a couple, but they want me to pay? For IRC? Madness! Or a good jabber-based IM client? I needs me some Googletalk lovin'.

I have a similar issue. I find that going into, then out of, flight mode fixes it.

Yes.

Seems the problem is two-fold, or it was. I spoke to Orange today, and not only did they give me a totally different set of GPRS settings, but also it seems I was in need of a couple of those over-the-air SIM updates.

Things work now, though if the connection is interrupted I do indeed need to toggle flight mode before it will reconnect, which is kind of a pain.

To get rid of the connection refused problem after diconnection you should downgrade IA_CallerID to IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.
Do a search on the forum to get detailed instructions
