Please help - GPRS email & Ericcson K700

If you haven't already done so, download the Sony Ericsson GPRS scripts from Ross Barkman's Homepage. There is also some good information there. Then read through the documentation at:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/7201.html

You will probably have to try several of Ross's scripts (CID4 to CID1) to find the one which works with your setup.

As to how you will get this working in Indonesia (if that's what you plan to do) while roaming is another matter...

theres some info at www.macandmobile.com, it seems to be a startup, but the site has good intentions...

Are you sure you want to pay so much money for roaming GPRS? I recommend to look for an internet cafe or at least go for a local prepaid GSM SIM card if possible. Is there GSM coverage at all?

Hi there,

Please see the text of a message I had back from SonyEricsson on this topic after discussing it with Ross B.

Not sure if it is any help to others, but advice on where to go next would be helpful.

Daniel.

Michael,

Thanks for your response.

I use and Apple iBook laptop, and I am connecting to the phone via
Bluetooth - I have a Bluetooth USB adaptor connected to the laptop, as
it does not have Bluetooth built-in.

As I said, this arrangement works perfectly with a SE T610 or T630, but
not the K700i.

Thanks,

Daniel.

Product: K700i

Opinion: Hi there,

I have just been given a new K700i as my work phone. I am trying to set it up to access the internet from my laptop via GPRS.

I have got the right modem script from Ross Barkman (taniwha.org.uk) and I can connect to the internet OK, but when I try to access any website the connection times out. Ross has given me a few suggestions as to what is wrong - why the phone/laptop won't find the right internet address to connect to.

He has suggested that I contact you to see if there is a firmware update for my phone, as it may have a bug.

My previous Siemens phone enabled me to connect to the internet with no problems, and similarly my own T610 works fine with my laptop.

Thanks if you can offer any help on this,

Daniel.

Daniel,

Just another bit of info. I was using a SE T610 very successfully until I upgraded to Tiger recently. I could no longer get it to work and spent hours on the phone with Apple who finally admitted that the new system does not work with this phone. They said that they were working on this problem.

Sony Ericsson are of little help. I was told by them that they do not support Apple.

Regards,

Gerry.

Gerry,

Thanks for that warning.

Do you know which bluetooth phones (preferably SonyEricsson ones) are likely to work with Tiger, or have you heard any comment about whether or not Apple are likely to fix the problem shortly?

Thanks,

Daniel.
