Thank you, thank you.

I followed your directions on how to change over my unlocked SMT5600 from ATT to Cingular today.

It worked flawlessly.

Thank you for saving me many hours on the internet and on the phone with technical support.

[encece]

nice!

Does anyone know what setting(s) I have to change for Messenger to work with MEdia Works?

I can access the internet with PIE
I can send receive text messages

But what I can't do is log into MSN Messenger. When I attempt to login I get the following Error message.

"Unable to connect. Verify that your dialup or proxy settings are correct, and try again."

Where do I change these settings for Messenger?

the Cingular Proxy should be like this:

3 Proxy Connections
Name: Cingular
Connects from: The Internet
Connects to: WAP Network
Proxy (name: port): wireless.cingular.com:80
Type: HTTP
User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

Could you help me set up the same thing for my motorola V551 so that I can access emails and internet from my Ipaq 1940?

Thanks

[Kris Kumar]

Hey encece, wondering if you have tried using a Pocket PC or a laptop and the Smartphone as the modem with your Cingular plan.

I am finding that a lot of Cingular users are running into trouble setting it up. Wondering if it is a setup issue or if Cingular is blocking dial up networking?

Thanks

The values should be the same for the V551, but the menu and screens will be different.

Since Smartphone Thoughts is devoted to Microsoft Smartphones; not sure if we have any V551 gurus. :-) It would save you time if you ask this question on a site like Howard Forums. ;-)

Thanks. I'll try Howard.

Thank you so much, that did the trick. (well, a little backtracking was also in order because in trying to get everything working I messed up a previously correct setting) ops:
