I have k700i firmware:R2AEO33. W/ FIDO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SET MY GPRS ACCOUNT BUT NO LUCK

THIS IS WHAT I DID:

MENU
CONNECTIVITY
Internet Settings
Internet profiles
New profile
Name: Fido
Connect using--- Data accounts
New account
GPRS data
Name: Fido
APN:wap.fido.ca
Username: fido
password: fido
SAVE
SELECT FIDO
SAVE
move to Fido press More
Settings
Connect using: Fido
Internet mode: wap
IP address: 205.151.011.011
Security: off
Username: fido
Password: fido
SAVE

BUT WHEN I GET TO WHERE THE ARROW IS, THE PHONE TRYS TO CONNECT AND IT FAILS CONNECTING. SO I CANT FINISH THE REST OF THE SETTING.

This part seems ok. Now your account needs to be activated at the server end by fido

Edit : try apn as fido.ca (i.e without wap in front of it.)

First confirm whether your gprs is active from your operators side. This message was posted from a T230

You need to subscribe to a certain level of service from fido, for that to work. Or is it free?
