Downloads via WAP
Can I download icons/ringtones over WAP?
No, WAP mobile phones do not have a download facility but you can download using GPRS. Go to
www.O2.co.uk/shop to find out more about our GRPS tariffs. "
Hmmm wap phones don't have a download facility, I must be imagining all the pics and ringtones on my T68mi then!

Hello
By my reckoning, only one person here has an issue with the answers I posted.
Anyhow, again for those hard of reading, phone and wap gateway will negotiate. Lower of the two limit is imposed.
And Voda can handle a limit higher than 3 Kb, I know this because I pulled through image of 5 and 6 Kb. But not with a T68.
I am not going to tell you which phone, or how and why I was doing this, and frankly, whether you choose to believe this is not is your own thing.
You can also post all the tech-reports you want, but some of us work in the industry ( and have done for years ) and some of us don't. Enough said I think.
Now, if anyone wants to prove that you can pull through a payload greater than 3 Kb with a T68, then cool, go ahead. I am happy to be proved wrong that T68 can - but using the voda gateway, which will pass over 6 Kb, T68 ( note, that's the PHONE there ) clips back to 3 Kb.
And at any rate, practicality of the situation is no stuff over 3 Kb - therefore cable ( DRS-11 ) or IrDA is a good solution, and AGAIN, cheaper over the long run. Plus you can use the other software that's available to sync your data and hence back it up for you.
By the way shibby, you may want to upgrade your firmware at some point ...

benjytrainer,
do you have the MMS upgrade? can you store more than one pic in your phone?
many users in the non UK forum are able to download larger than 3KB -
why would this be if they have the same phones and software?
also, i'm able to send screensavers from my phone larger than 3KB, give me your email address if you want an example.
as far as i'm concerned the 3KB download limit IN MY CASE is due to my service provider and not my phone...not sure where you've got this info from but after first reading it appears wrong.

Hello
The limitation is :
i n t h e w a p b r o w s e r
phew.
there are no limits for email or use via the datacable etc, or else I wouldn't be suggesting it
If someone would like to suggest a firmware combination and operator-gateway combo that they think they can browse WAP with and pull in over 3 Kb payloads, fire away.
Certainly R2B025 was not very happy about it, haven't bothered to test R2E006 purely because THE DATACABLE ( or any other local method ) of sending is
a) quicker
b) easier
c) cheaper
Ultimately, I am not fussed whether people believe this or not, because having done the tests across most of europe with a number of phones, I already KNOW what the situation is.

Confusing the sh*t out of me! I just can't understand if that is the case why half of Esato 'appear' to be able to download files over 3kb via WAP on their T68's - although not in the UK?
BTW I've got R2E006 on Voda and I still can't do it.

Can you post it??
Anyway everyone lets chill out and enjoy the good weather whilst we've got it!
Enjoy your weekend!
