As we all know, WAP and Internet GPRS traffic is priced differently by operators across the globe. By Internet GPRS traffic I mean the one which is routed trough Internet APN (e.g. when we access Internet from laptop using GPRS). In some countries WAP traffic is cheaper than Internet, in others it is vice verse.
By default, SE phones (and my T630 in particular:) use WAP profiles for My Friends and Remote Sync. applications. This is a problem for people whose operators price WAP traffic higher than Internet GPRS (e.g. with my operator WAP is twice as expensive as Internet).
My question is whether it is possible to set up My Friends and Remote Sync. to use Internet APNs. The first solution coming to mind is to set up a WAP profile having Internet APN in data account specified in “Connect using”. But then the problem is in the wap gateway IP address that also has to be specified. I am not sure that the server through which the Internet traffic is being routed (Internet APN) has such a thing at all.
I’ve tried to do to things:
1) input the same IP as in the WAP settings
2) leaving it blank
... but the applications do not work with either solution.

Can anyone help me? Did anyone tried to solve this problem? Seems to be challenging enough.))

Thanks a lot,

Ross

Ok, I've just called the support unit in Moscow and the answer was: "You can use WAP APN only and there is nothing you can do about it".

What should I do now? - throw out this wonderful piece of technology with "WAP APNs only" and "12 min polling interval" and buy myself a nice Nokia (or may be this new ipaq 63.. series:)?????????


I dont think I'll buy myself a SE phone again.))))))

If you speak to our operator, and say you have a have a P900 or something which supports e-mail and get them to go through the settings with you. E-mail must use an internet APN, and the settings should include IP/DNS addresses.

Here we are talking about My Friends and Remote Sync., not about email (actually, email is the only thing in T630 that works with Internet APN::).

Well I'm just saying, that's way of finding out what your providers DNS/IP addresses are for the internet apn.

They settings you are talking about are posted on the operator's website. The problem is in SE built-in clients that can only communicate though WAP APN. The Internet APN does not have such a thing as "WAP gateway IP address".
