> Configurate Palm 505 with T68 using GPRS
Bookmark topic
Don't misquote me-I have been asking if anyone has used the settings successfully, and so far no luck.
The Vodafone settings can be found at:

channel=Phones+%26+Price+Plans&menupath=2,4&BV_SessionID=

and the Palm ones at:
http://www.palm.com/uk/mobile/gprs.html
GPRS coverage is very good where I am and I have been using it all the time for WAP on the t68, so that's not the problem.

@kafka, I will check them out when i get back to my desktop. And my original reply in this thread was not meant for you but for @magake, it just happened that it was posted after your post.
This post was posted from a T39

Apologies for the misunderstanding on my part. I have contacted Vodafone themselves but have had no reply as yet. Also, I have been experimenting with variations on the setups I have, just in case one of them contains a misprint. If you actually go to the Vodafone URL I posted, you will see that the screenshots do not match their instructions, but if you go by the screenshots it doesn't work either, at least for me. Perhaps its the curse of R1B. Am I the world's only t68 user with the original software?

If it's okay with you, post your current palm and T68 settings or send them via PM.
I'd like to have a look at it.

It looks like I am having the same problem in the UK.
I have an Ericsson T68, Palm M505 and Vodafone GPRS account in the UK.
I have been banging my head against the wall since December as I cannot get my PDA to connect to the Internet.
Vodafone called me this morning and we went through everything they can think of. They have gone away to think again. If anyone has any ideas I would love to give it a try.
Here goes:
Ericsson T68
The Data account is called "Internet" (as that is the profile name in the Palm) and the CID=1;
APN: internet
User ID: ip
Password: ip
IP adress: blank
DND address: blank
On the Palm M505:
Service: Internet
User name: web
Password: web
Connection: IR to PC/Handheld
Connection type: PPP
Idle timeout: Never
Query DNS: Ticket
IP address: Automatic
Login Script:
Send: ATZ
Send CR:
Send: at+cgdcont=1,"ip","internet","0.0.0.0",0.0
Send CR:
End
Vodafone have checked the account and there has been no connection through GPRS even though the Palm thinks it is connected.
When I click on a web-clipping application the error "The DNS server address is not setup properly (Net 1250) appears.
Any ideas??
Regards
Glenn Handley

After several days and many phone calls to Vodafone Customer Services, I finally managed to get my t68 (R1A) and m505 working using GPRS over IR, as well as email on the t68 over GPRS. As someone posted earlier, I had to upgrade my subscription from GPRS starter (free) to GPRS1 (£7.50 per month) in order to get them to 'provision' the internet APN, which from my conversations today seems to be a matter of them ticking a box on a computer screen at their Banbury centre. For those still seeking this holy grail, I suggest that you go to the Vodafone website at the link I posted above (although you will have to copy the whole lot and paste it into a browser) and check your settings against those there. The only change I had to make was to put
*99***2#
in under phone number, since I already have the wap APN and it is CID=1, so the web APN seems to be CID=2. Anyway, I'm guessing, but it does work, and my god, it is fast! Not quite up to 56k modem speeds, but a very respectable second. Now I just need that Bluetooth SD card that's waiting for me at my parent's house and woohoo!!!

I forgot to ask, did anyone else see the print ads in the national press for Vodafone's GPRS internet access?

For those of you yet to provision your handheld ( be in Palm or PocketPC) most mobile phone retailers have Voda GPRS packs which contain all the details to setup your phone and/or handheld

I still can't connect my M505 to the internet using my T68 and Vodafone GPRS. I have been speaking to Vodafone for the last few days but they still can't help me. If anyone does have the above combination working please can you let me know how you got both to work?
Many thanks
