Bennie, at this point, is your pc communicating with your phone? you can tell by looking at the phone after you click on the "Dial" button on your computer. You should see your phone connecting. If this isn't happening, then your modem installation is not complete.
Remember that IrDa requires line of sight to work (your pc and phone IrDa ports should be facing each other.)
CID is the data account number your phone is expected to connect thru. Depending on your phone model, I can tell you how to determine your correct data account number.

PPP for Windows. SLIP for linux

@AYA amd Ambyz, thanks a lot. Yes i think there's comm., cos wn i place d fon the error msg reads "chk setting". But if i take off d fone, it reads "chk if other device is turned on or turn it off and on again". This shows some level of comm.
How did u say i can get my CID?

It's a nokia 7600. MTN has been difficult these days.

Yeah Bennie, Coolapostle also complained about the same problem. Unfortunately, most Nokia phones do not display data account connection ID (CID) information, so you are going to have to use the "Trial and error method" Most phone will not allow more than ten data accounts to be set up, so starting with 1, interchange the ? in the *99***?# until you get to 10, one of these should get the phone connecting.
If you have requested OTA settings from MTN, it is most likely to be 2
If you have used the same phone for Glo GPRS before MTN, it is most likely to be either 4 or 5. Use these as guides. I hope it works for you, because I'm fresh out of ideas, I'm not very used to Nokia phones.

I told you you'd have to try 1 to infinity; didn't I?
More seriously, now that you mention its a Nokia, your problems are solved. Install the PC suite, connect your phone to PC whether by cable or infrared, then click "Make Conection" or so on the PC suite menu. Follow the instructions and it will setup your connection automatically in minutes.

Not exactly. CID is peculiar to each network and has nothing to do with the phone. For example, my CID for internet connection on both Glo and MTN is 1 respectively, regardless of any phone I use, which GPRS network I had used the phone to access, or whether one requests OTA or otherwise (or even how many times OTA settings got sent to the line/phone).
Ultimately, bennie: I am almost certain that your connectivity woes are more from the fact that MTN is quite unstable at the moment. But do try the PC Suite auto connection thing.
