gprs activation

carl310166

I posted the below in the mobile phone forum,but i have not had any suggestions,so i thought i would try here?




Hi,
Does anybody know how to activate my gprs account?

I am with Tesco mobile,so i rang them to activate it,they said that a text would be sent to myself,and that i would just need to select "yes".

A text arrived,when i selected "yes" a list of options came up

new account/vo wap gprs/vo mms gprs/vo wap csd/vo mms csd/vodaphone/gprs 5/tesco wap gprs

Now,when i try and sync with my Tom Tom Go 700 it goes through the process,then the phone displays "gprs parameters not supported"

Anybody know what to do?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that,but i am still confused!

I have entered all your information.except

I can't see where to enter the port number....and

It's asking for a DNS ?????

Mobiles are not my thing unfortunately.

what phone are you using?

I am using a Sony Ericsson T610.

These are instructions for setting up an SE K700i, not sure how much the menus have changed since the T610. If you still find no port settings it may be that ou have to tag it on to the gateway IP address as Gateway (IP) address : 193.113.200.195:9201

I managed to follow the instuctions kindly sent by Woby_Tide,this has enabled me to connect to the internet,but my Tom Tom Go is still not setting up a wireless internet connection.

I think the problem is with the Tom Tom now,so i will ask on the Tom Tom forum.

Thanks both.
