Nokia N95 - Meteor/Three Settings

Absolut

I bought an N95 recently in Singapore. It's an Asian/Pacific model and is unlocked. I've managed to get MMS over a GPRS connection on Meteor to work, but can't get GPRS to work for internet browsing. I've also got a Three sim card, which doesn't work either (for MMS/Internet/Video calls). I've been on the phone to the Meteor customer care centre but they dont seem very willing to help when it's a problem with a sim free phone that's not sold by Meteor. Having read stories in this forum about Three not allowing the use of non Three branded handsets with dual UMTS and GSM modes on their network, I haven't even tried calling them about the problem.

I've downloaded all the settings from Meteor, but I keep getting a "Packet Data not available" message when trying to use the internet. With Three, the browser tries to connect, but just lands on a blank white page.

Has anybody had any similar problems and solutions?

If you download the settings for meteor from the nokia support site they should work, the error you are getting could indicate your sim is not data enabled, perhaps ring Meteor and ask them and not mention the phone ?

I configured a N92 recently to work on Three without a problem and used the settings from the stickie on this forum

is it a genuine nokia n95 (dual slide, integrated gps, non-touch screen)?
If it's a fake, it's only dual band, ie no 3G reception
A genuine sim free, nokia n95 would load any network settings automatically on power up including access point and homepage

Yeah, it's a genuine N95. And it is sim free, and it does load the settings automatically when I insert the sim (both the Meteor and the Three sim), but they just don't seem to work. The Meteor sim lets me send MMS messages over GPRS (the symbol on the left of the screen under the clock - like to arrows pointing in different directions - comes on when the message is being sent). I thought that maybe the problem was that the sim wasn't enabled for data, but since it can send MMS, then this can't be the reason.

With the Three sim, again it loads the settings, but can't connect to web/send MMS/make videocalls. It's definitely on the 3G network and works for SMS and voice calls. I'm very confused.

MMS is not the same as isp data, I would still check with Meteor to see if sim is data enabled, or try it in a meteor phone ?

What firmware is on your N95

Firmware Version is V.12.0.014, the latest version.

I called Meteor and they said that the sim is data enabled, and they just resent the settings to the handset again. Still doesn't work though.

I've managed to get the Three sim to work by selecting UMTS only (it doesn't work on the GSM network at all).

wow lots of people have similar problems with meteor even with "meteor" handsets! they are currently upgrading their services maybe that is causing the problem in your area or the phone could be one of many pre-release working models with only limited capabilities? another answer and maybe more likely is that meteors servers have compatibility issues with some phones including a sagem my x6-2 which i bought from them that works for gprs but it wont load any pictures! it loads the advertising "headers" off the meteor site but wont load the thumnails or larger pictures of the images. its very weird and meteor just throw the settings at the problem again and again! they admitted once it may be a compatibility issue but have done nothing to resolve it!:eek:

Hi,

I have just bought a N95 and i am wondering has anyone used this with the Meteor Network? As Meteor is not 3g yet can the phone work, specifically the GPS? Also can you use the GPS with out incurring data charges?

Thanks
