[Wilsas]

Anyone can tell me what the Brasilian settings for data have to be?
I intend to travel whitin 3 weeks to Brasil and want to add a local sim in my Trinity but wants to use the GPRS or UMTS (when availeble) aswell I don't mind about which operator cause I didn't bought the sim yet.

Thanks in advance

The Data Settings are different for each operator. so Search first an operator and then have a look ont his internet site which DataSettings you have to define... You must go allways over a Provider authentication for gprs and there the most are with a password protected...

It's also important to have a look wheter provider is most cheap for your needs.... Calling outside country or only localy or what ever else... like mms, sms, data...

Williem, try this... I've been there for two years and my operator there was TIM... Pretty good for call but no EDGE, no UMTS, no low cost packages for connections...

Thanks a lot
My idea was already to get a Tim chip, I don't now is it a long time ago that you where there, cause I have been there 2,5 year ago to do a trip at the Amazones and in that time I had al the time free dataconnection whit my M1000 Orange phone I bought in that time a Tim prepaid chip and could get straight away acces, last january I was in south Brasil with a Wizzard and could't get acces to the dataconnection at all neighter with my Dutch chip or whit a Brasilian chip.
I think 2 years ago it was still in trail and in January there was a full operational comercial connection.
I am realy curious about the prices which you paid for your data package there.

Williem, I stayed from August 2005 until end of March 2007 in a city close to Sao Paulo (Sao Jose dos Campos) and there was no problem for the GPRS connection. At that time there was an interesting option but only for the WAP trafic. Since when you connect our jewel to surf internet, is like a normal modem, they do not consider as a wap or mobile connection... My personal experience for maybe 2Mb payed 270R$ (or something like) = approx 100€:mad: ... Then no more connections:D
This was in last december, maybe now there is something new...
You can try to look at here: http://www.timcelular.com.br/
The international calls, compared with our italian fares, is very cheap: with Voda chip, is 3€xmin, with a local TIM chip was 2R$ x min (0,75 - 0,80€)

The settings here attached are tested in a Qtek S100, Qtek S200 and with the P3600.

Some time the MMS connection is not available, but is not a setting problem, is an operator issue with their network expansion program...

Um abraço !!!

Just to inform that...at least in São Paulo, TIM has EDGE.

I live in Brazil and I can confirm you that we don't have UMTS. But there's EDGE at least in all the capitals. I can confirm you that data accesses are still expensive, specially if you have a pre-paid phone.
