    Just got a new O2 I-mode phone and can't get it to work with my pda as a modem... tried all the settings listed here. Only way it will connect to the internet is with the Imode settings as given here... but it will not access any websites when connected. (APN=pp.wap.o2,ie). I phoned O2 and they activated my pp.internet APN setting but that doesn't connect. Is there something specific about Imode phones that I need to take account of? Up to this I have been connecting thru vodafone with no problems. Any advice much appreciated!!

    OK I am close to giving up on this... phoned O2 several times and they activated the pp.internet APN but it still won't work. They talked me through all the settings which I already had from the sticky post above. I think I'll just go back to Vodafone which worked fine. grrrr!

    Sorry Aodh, Imode handsets cannot be used as Modems. They connect to the GPRS in a different way to normal GSM handsets.

    Bummer! So it should work if I put the simcard in a normal GSM handset? Must try that. Thanks!

    it should do, just remember that if the phone is a nokia to change the Modem APN (in connectivity settings) to pp.internet.

    If this fails, remember to check that the phone can connect to GPRS. If this fails again, call o2 on 1740. They may need to log a pp.internet provisioning issue.
