Hi people, I'm getting problems when using programs which connect to the net via gprs such as mini opera and several map programs (mgmaps, bbmaps). For example if I load opera I get a message saying 'attempting to reach a low level network' and then I get a couldn't connect to page. All the map progs simply don't load any maps. The bb explorer works fine when I go through the orange world page. Anyone come accross this problem?

Did you enter the APN in TCP settings in options?

APN settings for Orange Uk are:-

APN: orangeinternet
Usenername : user
Password : pass

thanks guys had a feeling it was to do with the tcp settings! Why don't they ship the phones with the correct TCP settings?

Do you have Oranges new 250mb data plan?

It would be easier if the TCP settings were entered allready wouldn't it!

yeah I do :P

That's ok then

I gather from other members on the forum that some carriers bill different amonts for different data -- i.e. blackberry data at one rate, wap at another -- so I could see some people not using the apn because of the expense.

That is true. I am on o2 and do not use Opera because it requires the o2 mobileweb APN settings for which they charge extra.

I am happy enough with the BB Browser.
