GPRS/ISP & MMS Settings for I-Mate SP5

woody

Okay I have tried to no avail to configure my I-Mate SP5 with the sticky of Operator Settings.

I am currently on O2 Billpay and can't seem to get either working.

So would anyone who has or had the above phone know exactly the settings that need to be entered into the correct fields as the I-Mate is slightly different than most.

Thanks in advance.

I had it working fine on Vodafone, settings would be:

Settings, Connections, GPRS
First was Vodafone ISP
Connects to = Internet
Access Point = isp.vodafone.ie
username = vodafone
password = vodafone

Then Vodafone MMS
Connects to = WAP Network
Access Point = mms.vodafone.net
username = vodafone
password = vodafone



Messaging
Menu, Options, Account Options, MMS
Retrieve Immediately Ticked
Menu, MMSC Settings
MMSC URL = http://www.vodafone.ie/mms
WAP Gateway = 10.24.59.200
Port = 80
Connect Via = WAP Network
WAP Version = WAP 2.0


This worked fine for Vodafone IE, hopefully you can use this as a template to setup O2

cheers dude will give it a bash

I have looked at the boards.ie O2 settings and would suggest the following for bill pay:

Settings, Connections, GPRS
First would be O2 ISP
Connects to = Internet
Access Point = internet
username = gprs
password = gprs

Then O2 MMS
Connects to = WAP Network
Access Point = wap.dol.ie
username = gprs
password = gprs


Messaging
Menu, Options, Account Options, MMS
Retrieve Immediately Ticked
Menu, MMSC Settings
MMSC URL = http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002
WAP Gateway = 62.40.32.40
Port = 8080
Connect Via = WAP Network
WAP Version = WAP 2.0

Cheers dude got the GPRS going and MMS Out going but still have'nt sorted the incoming MMS mmmmmmmm will keep at it...thank again

woody

Anyone any further idea's as I cannot recieve MMS for some unfounded reason is there any new settings for O2 MMS that I don't know about and BTW O2 are not very helpful

vampyre

I have a new jasjar and O2 have been downright abusive telling me they don't have to help me when all I wanted was the gprs connection settings.
I will be delighted if you get this sorted out as I am in the same boat with no mms.

I have a Jasjar, and had no problem configuring it for Vodafone Ireland with the settings on boards.ie.

Never tried O2, but if you want me to post any of my settings just ask

I would really appreciate any help. I have phoned tech support 4 times, got 4 women who openly say they don't know how to help me and are not under any obligation to and refuse to put me on to or email the one tech support bloke who does. One of them told me you don't use wap to get mms. I am really frazzled here. I really have tried to set this up before posting, I did search and I did try using the settings on the sticky. I'm just cursed for the past few weeks with anything computer related.

I have checked several forums and got the same response from O2, this is something extremely simple, possibly a different proxy or different ip address etc, I have noticed on the O2 website in the part where you can get the GPRS/MMS settings sent to you that one of the phones listed is the I-Mate Smartphone although I was told implicitly that they did not provide settings for the I-Mate series in it's entirity.....

Fingers crossed and we get the MMS working I will keep you posted if I find anything new out

Here's hoping.

O2's tech support has gotten really really bad. They are so blatantly greedy in this country. Pulling in huge profits and telling us that it's being reinvested in the network. Well I don't see enough to justify their statements and their operators who were brilliant are now clueless beyond what is already visible on the website. Bah!

To be honest I don't see there point as we want to use there services on our phone and hence generate profit so it is defeating the purpose of business by not even remotely helping or guiding us the right way...so fingers crossed

Jasjar is generic version of O2's own XDA Exec, simplest thing to do would be to flash it with XDA Exec firmware as according to the their own website it is for UK and Ireland!

Then I will end up with all their awful o2 active junk that I paid a fortune to get away from . As it's only mms I will do without but it is the attitude of them recently that gets me.

Install in corporate mode, this removes the O2 customisations, plus you can always flash it back after testing to see if MMS works, and if it does to then note down the settings

Is'nt it weird I can send MMS but not recieve them this is really blowing me bulb

I've had 3 xdas and the last one the settings didn't work on mms and needed further tweaking.

I have the settings from my last one but it just won't fire. Although on the past 5 occasions whenever I got a phone or pda the mms service also happened to be down and they didn't even know that in o2. I was able to send messages yesterday, they would show as failed but they would arrive at the destination. One of the proper tech people (rather than someone just reading the stuff fromt he website back to the caller) told me years ago that the mms is always the reason for the launch delays here. He had tested the xda ii and that was the only thing not working 3 months later.

As a matter of interest what was the problem ?

vampyre

may I point out I am not a man. Not, now nor ever have been.

O2 being so infinitely rubbish is the problem. These devices run like a dream, on wap 1.2 only. I think the lack of information is to conceal this. O2's mms network is very troublesome and instead of fixing it (making it like other networks, accessible and functional) they just bury the fact. Their attitude and whole "support" on this and many other issues related to supported devices has deteriorated to a really poor level. Guess where they're not spending the profits?

it was the 1.2 and 2.0 (WAP) problem apparently on O2 Wap 2.0 does not work so it has to be set to port 9201 and not 8080.............There Customer or Tech Support point blanky wont give you help or wont even guide you else where as for Vodafone the support is much better just not the tarriffs ... sure we can't always have it our own way but it would be nice:)

In a large number of cases they can't give you the details because they don't know what the question means let alone what the answer is. And that's not me being narky it's just fact.
