@Telboy_uk

Did not know that the APN was a global standard..
My settings (Telenor Norway) are:
apn "internet" used for email, PC internet connection
apn "wap" for WAP
apn "mms" for MMS

I can't get it working for my Vizzavi email or my other two ISP's. Says GPRS parameters not supported on all 3 connections.

Any further advice??

The trick that worked for me was to use the ip address instead of the normal dns of mail and smtp servers. This post was posted from a T65

WOW! you all came back quick... Thanks for the input.

I can see that most people are using "Internet" as their APN for email and Web etc. I have tried this on my BT Cellnet GPRS connection and it does not work. Gives error "Wrong Access Point Name (APN)"

Have also tried using the raw IP addresses instead of the standard DNS identifier.

The APN that the T68 came configured with was WAP.GENIE.CO.UK. This has a username of 'geniewap' and a password of 'password'

Unfortunately whilst this allows WAP connections it does not allow you connections to IP other addresses (ie those for POP email or Standard Web Browsing using IPAQ).

Having tried 'Internet', I looked through some old BT Cellnet docs on the internet and found a proposal for an APN of 'open.genie.co.uk' which was defined as being specifically to allow open access to the internet as required. This would be exactly what I am lokking for ..... if it worked. When I tried it, it just produced the same error "Wrong Access Point Name (APN) Hmmm!

So I think I need the actual APN used for BT Cellnet access to Internet resources.

Has anybody here got a GPRS connection working using BTCellnet/Genie for use with POP mail and/or Internet IP usage.

If so, could you please list out your settings, including APN .. Username and password etc.

Thanks
Terry

Just to let you know, I have just found out that BTCellnet have not provided an APN to allow connections outside of their WAP network. This means that it is not possible to connect to email or other IP addresses using the Cellnet.

I knew I should have gone with Vodafone .... hmmm

If anybody knows of any late breaking news or hears any different... could they please let me know. I have looked through a number of BT Cellnet technical documents and these all indicate their intention to implement the standard "Internet" APN........alas sometimne in the future.

@Fahed_2000

Are you using a Vodafone and did you set the APN to "Internet"?

Following the discovery that BT Cellnet could not provide outgoing IP access to the internet over GPRS, I was a little dismayed as regards the new contract I had signed up for. That was until I remembered that my wife is on Vodafone.

Sunday morning saw me making her breakfast and being generally nice (as always).

We have now swapped sim cards. A quick call to Vodafone set me up on Vodafone GPRS and I was away. Yes it all works Great!!

Cheers all!
