Brian Have you got the right software to create a GPRS modem driver on your laptop? It usually comes on a CD with the phone or can be downloaded from the phone manufacturers website. Using the incorrect 'modem device' in XP will give all sorts of errors when you dial the *99# (Yes, my original post was incorrect) to initiate a GPRS session. If you are using Windows XP and Bluetooth to connect to the phone, you need to ensure you have XP service pack 2 installed on the PC as well.
You can contact me at jannock dot org dot uk if you want more assistance.

Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: michael askin To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 6:52 PM Subject: Re: [canals-list] Orange internet Well, I'm "on". On the advise of Ken Kroeker, I splashed out on a Sony Ericsson K510i at £79.95 from the Phones 4u store in Hanley (in the big shopping centre there). After calling Customer Services to enable the GPRS, I was down 25p, and was told it would come on automatically within 24 hours anyway (by default). I was going to wait until the next day to try it, but accidently pressed the Orange World icon, and it connected. Later I presumed it was via GSM, but after changing the settings to use GPRS it still worked so I set it up on the computer. I used the supplied Sony software to setup the connection, but it created a new Data connection profile, without the right settings. To select the new profile it put 4# on the end of the number, but I changed it to 3#, and it worked like a dream. I'm currently using the supplied USB lead for data, but I notice the phone also comes with IR, and Bluetooth. Thanks for everyone help. Mike nb.
