W900i WAP & MMS on O2 settings.

[RimBlock]

Ok, I have a W900i and I have had Wap working on O2 but never MMS or email.

Last night I tried to get it working and got the settings sent from the Sony Ericsson site.

No luck and it knocked out the WAP.

After backing everything up I did a master reset on the phone to clear all *** settings and then went through steps to install email, mms and WAP vie settings sent from the SE site. Nope not working at all with any of these (SMS still works fine but then it does not use WAP).

Now all that happens when trying to email or browse the web is it says connecting, no internet icon appears (world icon) and then it just says it cannot find server.

It seems like it is not linking the connecting details with any internet functions so it is trying to run the functions without 'dialling up' first.

Any suggestions / solutions. I can quite happily master reset again and is there a specific order you should setup the connectivity (i.s. WAP must be setup then MMS and then email).

Thanks
RB

O2 GPRS selected.

3G is enabled on the phone.

Ok, back to your query, I believe you only pay for the data downloaded. I have seen no charges on my bill yet but have not watched tv or movies. I was under the impression when you set it up under menu -> messaging -> email -> settings it will connect to the internet every 4 hours and just download the headers. I don't think it will stay connected the whole time and then just connect to the email server every 4 hours as if this was the case why not download in realtime.

Any suggestions very welcome .

Cheers

Ok, that made sense but unfortunately changing it to PS and CS didn't resolve the problem.

Calling O2 resulted in 'All our computers are down can you please ring back tomorrow'.

Hmm have had that far too often when calling

The phone was bought in Singapore sim free.

The software versions are the same apart from CXC1250252.

Wap was working until I sms'd the email settings from Sony. My contract has also been renewed and I am now using a new sim card so I am guessing they have not enabled GPRS on the new sim. As O2 do not sell this model yet their customer service was no help.

I guess I need to call them again .

Thanks for your help
