Cannot connect GPRS with Bouygtel (french provider)

---

Hello Fellows,

can someone give the procedure to connect my Asian XDA (original ROM) to the Bouygtel GPRS network?

When I try, it is continiously asking for a dum name and password :twisted: . I have called the customer service of this provider, but no one knows about this problem. :shock:

Thank you to the French fellowship, :lol:

Best regards,

Laurent

:?: By the way, someone caould confirm that using the exe ROM file coocked by Jeff is safe. I am thinkig about updated the xda-developers 1.2 ROM, but I don't have any SD card reader or other stuffs.

Here is the message from the bouygue customer service :

Cliquer sur le drapeau Windows (en haut à gauche)/ Settings/ Onglet Connections/ Connections Cliquer sur le menu déroulant "Internet settings" et choisissez "New" Rentrer le nom de la connection: remplacer "My Connection" par eBouygTel Cliquer sur l'onglet Modem: Cliquer sur "New" et rentrer les paramètres suivants remplacer "My Connection" par eBouygTel
Modem: choisir "cellular line GPRS"
Baud rate: choisir 57600
Cliquer sur "Next" et rentrer les paramètres suivants
Access point name: eBouygTel.com
Cliquer sur "Finish"
Cliquer sur OK en haut à droite de l'écran

I don't need to enter something in the user/login window.
After that I connect to GPRS with no problem (works either with the XDA dev rom 1.2 or the WM2003 based rom)

If it doesn't work with your asian rom maybe there are some other specific settings to change (GSM settings..?)

I only use the SD flash method but the roms (.nbf or .nb0) generated in the Jeff kitchen are safe and work perfect for me (I tried a 1.2 XDA dev cooked rom and a WM2003 cooked rom). So the exe method is surely safe too.

Merci beaucoup

I just have a loock on my first GPRS connection. Thank you for your assistance, very fruitful.

Regarding the Jeff exe ROM, I don't know what to do. I don't have all the how-know you all get to fix PocketPc, so I am afraid to kill it if the thing goes wrong. It is a 600EUR toy.

Anyway, thank you very much.

I flashed mine 3 times with no problem. All is automatic and you do not have to be a XDA expert. Of course you always take a risk by flashing but the new roms are so cool

I personnally prefer to use the SD method as it is not dependant on my PC, on the USB connection... But seems not to have problem with the exe method.
So if you have fear to use the exe method I suggest you to buy a memory card reader (I have this one http://www.cdiscount.com/newmag/mag_...&navid=1120310)

And if for a mystical reason you had problem, this forum will help you to solve

I was also scared about screwing up my 600EUR toy too. But I am game: I flashed mine about 8 times (because I tried many versions of PocketPC OS and encountered some issues about some of them)...

Like I used to have problems with Bouygues: my GPRS was activated as of the 18th of June. I had another PDA-Phone (E-Ten P603 which is great but bulky) and I thought it was not compatible with the French network. So I ordered the iPDA at Bouygues' and received it last monday. In a first place it didn't work too. So I called the customer service (614) and I was gently routed to the Multimedia Service to take care of my issue. They could not figure out the problem too, so they decided to disable my GPRS line and to re-enable it after. By doing that, my GPRS line has been working real fine since Wednesday afternoon! I was even refund for the period I was unable to connect! Too fine: I consummed 15MB (out of my monthly 20MB subscription) within 2 days!

Downside of GPRS: too costy!
At Bouygues' the "biggest" subscription is 20MB a month at 15EUR for the first 6 months and 45EUR the months after... I hope they will reduce their prices until then...

Salut les Frenchies! 8)

A la fin de votre période Découverte de 6 mois, vous pourrez conserver votre Forfait 20 Mo au prix de 40 € TTC. Si vous souhaitez opter pour le Forfait 10 Mo au prix de 6 € TTC

I take the 10Mbytes/month for 6€ and it is enough for me. :shock: 40€ is the price of my ADSL connection so no way i take a gprs for this price.
