Hello catchaduck, welcome to CPF.

As Ellen mentioned, you will need to re-configure the phone with AT&T's settings.

The GSM version of the chocolate, the LG KG800, however is a triband 900/1800/1900 device and Cingular does not support it. I don't believe you will find the settings for it on the AT&T website.

Try the following settings for Media Net:

In the menu select:

1:browser
2:settings
3. Profile - (select existing profile)
4. Options - (rename it to cingular)
5:settings
6:homepage - (type in http://device.home)
7:Bearer - (select GPRS)
8:GPRS settings
APN: wap.cingular
User ID: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
9: Proxy Settings
Proxy: - (set this to ON)
IP address: 66.209.011.61
Port number: 9201
10: Do nothing for DNS settings.
11. click on ACTIVATE.
Done.

Good luck
