ISP gprs on meteor

radiospan

Fed up trying to get this activated now. Seems to be a different answer everytime. I've been told I have to take my phone to a Meteor store for it, I've been told I need to download the settings from the Nokia site, I've been told I need to change settings on my laptop (I just want it for Gmail on my phone), I've been asked to give my landline number so that they can ring me back on it (which they never do, this has happened twice).

Gonna keep trying though.

Any other tips on what to ask for...

Ring up and after confirming your details says this:

"I'd like to use my phone as a modem to connect to the internet. I'm aware of how this works. I do not want or need any settings. I would like to you provision the ISP settings on my account. If you don't know how to do this please ask your Team Leader who will advise you on getting this done. I'm not hanging up until it's done, this doesn't require a call to a store or any settings for my device.

Again, I know what I'm looking for - kindly add it and add it now".

Sometimes it is easier to get it done by emailing meteor at info.meteor.ie ,just make sure to include your details in the email.

this is what a meteor rep sent me in an email before:

For customers to be able to use their phone as an external modem to hook up to a PC or laptop for full Internet access, the guidelines are pretty simple:

* The handset MUST have active GPRS that is working without any problems and
* The handset method of connection to the laptop or PC must be the same (bluetooth to bluetooth or Infra red to Infra red).
* They also must be provisioned on the HLR for ISP (internet access).

Meteor support Windowns based operating systems from Win98 upwards (service pack 4 is needed for the Millenium Edition of windows).

Once the handset and the PC/laptop are paired and can 'see' each other, the below step by step guidelines will ensure connectivity.

* When selecting the modem, on a laptop you need to enter the Extra initialisation command.
* AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ISP.MYMETEOR.IE" (Note: All higher case and no gaps)
* You also need the dial up number, which for siemens is *99***1# and *99# for all other phones.
* There are no dialing rules and no user name or passwordeither.

Below are the general settings for setting up a connection but you probably have these yourself:

First Pair up your handset and your computerusing your bluetooth/I-R software, then follow the steps below:

* Menu> Programmes> Accessories> New Network connection Wizard
* Connect to the Internet
* Set up my Connection Manually
* Connect using a dial up modem
* Select Desired modem
* Next Name it
* Type the Phone number *99#
* Add a shortcut to your desktop
* Menu> Settings> Control Panel> Phones and Modems>
* Select desired modem
* Click Advanced
* Enter the initailisation string
* No user name or Password (if you receive a hardware failure then put in 'meteorisp'as the username and password.)
* Then the phone number *99#
* UNTICK dialing rules
* And then youre done

Brilliant, thats what I needed. Same details as GPRS connections on o2, just a different APN! Might be worthwhile to stick it in the settings sticky?
