Sending data on V220

I have a new Motorola V220 phone (unlocked; not purchased from
Cingular). I cannot get it to send pictures or browse the web.

I set the browser settings per Cingular's web-based Tutorial
(confirming every setting multiple times), I set the MMS settings per
their Tutorial (again confirming every setting multiple times). I have
have powered down/up. I have cleared the cache. I have four bars of
signal. The little icon at the top of the phone does show that GPRS is
available and ready for use.

When I open the browser, it shows "Connecting" for a long time
(probably for my 5 minute timeout setting), then says "Data Server not
available". It then shows how many bytes were transfered (about
3,300).

When I try to send a multi media message (e.g., a one-word message with
a sound file), and then check the Message Status, it says "Sending in
progress." and then changes to the number of bytes sent. However, if
I then recheck the Message Status, it says "Error: Message could not be
sent."

I've checked my settings repeatedly... Cingular's web-based Tutorials
seem very clear, but it still no worky...

Ideas?

Thanks!

Steve

Be sure to use the right settings:
* If you are using MEdia Net, then you need the "WAP" settings.
* If you are using Data Connect, then you need the "ISP" settings.
They are different!

Both very valid suggestions John, but I would add that a call to customer
service to verify that you do have a medianet plan on your account or
nothing is going to work.

Did you visit https://www.cingular.com/media/media_net and have an
authorization code sent to your phone?

I can't remember if that enables web on the phone, or enables the login to
the feature-filled MediaNet web site ;-)

It never hurts to check, but Pay-as-you-go MEdia Net should be available even
if the account doesn't have a MEdia Net package.

you would think that - but there are instances where - for whatever reason
the pay per use does not get added. Go figure.

My account was one of those instances where even the pay-as-you-go wasn't
available until I asked.

I was a previous AT&T customer. I had mMode on my last phone (a Sony
T616). I moved the SIM chip over, entered all the setup setup, and
figured (maybe incorrectly) I would have the same mMode surfing (i.e.,
WAP).

Steve

A a follow-up, Cingular says this is because it us an unlocked (rather
than Cingular) phone. I can text and voice, but I can't send or
receive data (even pictures). Bummer. I've checked the settings
umpteen times... The worse news is, they want me to signup for two
more years (I still have a year on my four phone contract) to get a
phone from them. Ridiculous.

If you still have a "blue" (ATTWS) SIM, then you need to use *mMode* settings
in your V220 -- Cingular MEdia and Data Connect settings *won't* work (since
you don't have an "orange" SIM)!

That's baloney.

See my prior post on correct settings.

Did you try to set the WAP configuration via SMS?

What does the feature list look like on your account?
Have you tried adding a media or messaging package to your account online?
