Hi all,

I recently had a Motorola v525 unlocked, now using an  O2 sim (was Vodafone). I am having trouble getting the GPRS settings for it though, have tried through the O2 website, and from the handset options.. each time the text with the settings does not arrive... Can they be entered manually onto the handset?

Unlocked a Nokia 3200 at the same time and had no problem gettin the settings for that phone.

Thanks!

    This is a good site for trouble shooting any settings.

    Hi all..

    Thanks for the suggestions.. still having trouble in getting the settings..

    The Motorola and O2 sites don't give an option for a Motorola V525 on their 'get settings' sections.. Is this phone only available locked to vodafone?.. therefore an unlocked phone not recognised (now using an O2 pay as you go sim)

    I tried using the 'file save as' site.. but it is a tad complicated for me.. I tried to enter the settings but there is extra info needed I think.. this is what I get below:

    Name:
    Homepage:
    Service Type1: WAP
    Gateway IP 1:
    Port 1: 9201
    Domain 1:
    Service Type 2: WAP
    Gateway IP 2:
    Port 2: 9201
    Domain 2:
    DNS 1:
    DNS 2:
    Timeout: 15 minutes
    CSD NO 1:
    Password 1:
    Speed (bps) 1: 9600
    Line Type 1: Modem
    CSD No 2:
    Username 2:
    Password 2:
    Speed (Bps) 2: 960
    Line Type 2: Modem
    GPRS APN:
    User Name:
    Password:

    The Vodafone live settings have a little padlock icon next to the name..

    Hope this makes sense to someone!

    Thanks again

    :)

    i think it may need reflashing with generic firmware as the voda firmware is probably made to work with voda only
