Need Help Setting Up Virgin Internet

[-=WiK1d=-]

Ok. I'm clueless now. I've tried everything...

I have a Samsung ZV-10 and I did get the settings I should use

Virgin_Internet
http://www.virginmobile.co.za - url
196.31.116.241 - IP
8080 - port
9201 - port 2
vdata - APN

So I entered everything and stuff. Paired my phone. Did the

at+cgdcont=1,"ip","vdata"

thing with the modem and I connect but then no sites want to open. MSN says I have a port problem.

The phone doesn't have a second port thing.

So please guys. I am totally lost here. Help

Dude, dont change any wap settings on your phone (i assume virgin sent you those and you didnt add those manuallly)

Install software that came with you phone, and follow instructions to instal your modem.

The init string dont work for me, so you could try and leave that out.

How are you connecting to PC?

No. They cannot send me the setting because there is a problem with the Samsung settings or something. So she gave me that settings. I am using Bluetooth. I'll give it a shot again. :S

....someone else will have to take this up........

Well. Can anyone help me or should I just get a diffirent cellphone. I called 123 again and the lady said that the Samsung data stuff has been down for quite a while now

your setings that you posted above is fine, and actually, not so important if your connecting via PC. So you dont have to worry about that.

have you installed your software that you got with your phone?


your dial up number should be *99#

Did you try setting up a proxy with your browser on the PC? Can't you browse with your phone either or is it just a problem when trying to browse on your PC?

Ok. Well now I got my old phone back. Nokia 6230i. I recieved the settings and all but I can't even get on WAP? It says "Connection Not Available"

I'm gonna install PC Suite now and try making it work. But this is freaky stuff.

Did you try setting up a proxy with your browser on the PC? Can't you browse with your phone either or is it just a problem when trying to browse on your PC?

Should I use a proxy?
