The Sony-Ericsson
P900 is certainly a good smartphone but to be able to surf the web with it and download applications like
Crickee, you still need to have your data connection set up or you're going nowhere...
Sometimes your phone is ready to browse wap/websites because your operator did the job for you, this is the case for most phones sold in packs.
Ok, but what happens in the worst case scenario, which is my phone?
I bought it in France in an
Orange pack and since then I switched to
Bouygues Telecom.
The thing is my P900 has the Orange connection settings ... but that's not very helpful right ? My phone and SIM card don't give a damn about this!
So I did try to call the support center (at 0 825 825 614) but they wouldn't help me unless I call them with another phone. The settings are supposed to be too complex for me to handle this without typing them on my P900 while on the phone with the support center.
Since I had no choice I tried their auto-settings procedure which didn't work.
Just when I was starting to think this wasn't a good day I tried their
manual settings page on their website...and guess what ? 2 minutes later I was on the web. Here's the procedure:
1 - From your main menu select Control Panel -> Connection -> Internet accounts -> New
2 - Enter the following information:
Account name : Bouygtel WAP GPRS
Connection type : GPRS
Address : mmsbouygtel.com
Then exit this menu and select Control panel -> WAP accounts -> New
Enter the following information:
Account name : Bouygtel WAP GPRS
Internet account : Bouygtel WAP GPRS (previously created)
Use a proxy : Yes
Address : 62.201.137.17
Port : 9201
So now I know it's not that hard ... and I'm not sure I will call them next time I encounter an issue, I might rely on their website instead.
