Blackberry using Vodafone SIM but O2 XDA IIs with O2 BB Rom

Hi Guys,
I had a corporate Vodafone Blackberry 7130 but gave it up to use my XDA IIs with the vodafone enabled blackberry SIM.
I upgraded my XDA to the latest o2 ROM from UK which has the BB connect software (the GPRS settings are of O2-UK I can see) and whola - everything works great. Am able to sync with my server with no change in GPRS settings etc. Am able to receive email, sync calander etc.
Big question - since I am using the GPRS setting for O2 and not vodafone is this going to case a billing problem for me? I called vodafone and they said if I stay within my downloadlimit of 6MB whichever fone or connection I use is immaterial.
Can anyone else who has done this confirm? or will I get slapped with a million dollar bill for using a GPRS setting of O2 for BB downloads or using an XDA and not their BB phone for email (I dont browse - only email downloads).
please please please - someone who has gone through this dilema - can you explain...how does the BB connect work? even though I dont have the vodafone setting on my XDA how am i able to get BB connected using O2 GPRS settings?????
thanks

if you are using vodafone SIM then it would use the same GPRS connection and not o2 connection.
o2 wont be able to bill you at all.

Tilt's GPRS won't connect in other country

Hey guys
I have a problem here
Last month I bought an ATT Tilt and unlocked the sim that I can use it internationally
the sim unlock does its job, however, I can't seem to use the GPRS in other country even though I've set it up correctly (even had representative from the provider to help me)
so..can anyone help me with this ?
thanks

used my kaiser in Ukraine on GPRS
I just got back from Germany and Ukraine. My AT&T sim roamed on 3g fine in Germany. In Ukraine I put in a kyivstar sim. My HTC Kaiser did not recognize and auto configure the sim for data. (the phone worked just fine with no adjustments). I went to the kyivstar website and got their settings for GPRS (www.ab.kyivstar.com) and entered them manually in settings/connections/connections section. GPRS then worked just fine. I was surprised Kyivstar did not auto config since they have been the largest provider in Ukraine for 10 years. When I came back to the states my AT&T sim card powered up and reconfigured itself to 3g just fine also. Sorry but I do not know why yours is not working

i have the same problem with you , i bought att tilt from ebay a month ago. The sim lock works still but after a month i can not connect gprs. Can someone help me ?

same problem......
HELP !

Hi guys. Many Tmobile users encounter the same thing when using the Tilt. Locate the cab file in your Windows folder that Disables Hidden Proxy and run it. Then confirm your GPRS settings for your provider. That should clear the problem and allow connections.

did you try deleting the proxy in the registry?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]
look for the line that says
"EnableAutoDetect"
and delete it.
didnt work for me... but try!

Anyone know the settings for O2??

I received an HTC Kaiser for Christmas and have an O2 pay and go Sim. I have tried to get the MMS, WAP & GPRS setting from O2 but they are useless.
They even sell the phone as the XDA Stellar but still haven't got the relevant entries for this product.
I would be very grateful if someone could post either the settings or where I can find them.
Many thanks

That site will give you ALL the information you need

I have spent many hours on the phone to O2 trying to get the PAYG settingsfor my XDA Exec, to be told everytime that I cant have them.
The reason is I need to go on contract - full internet access isnt supported on PAYG.
What made me laugh is they sent me a 3G sim upgrade, only to then say I cant use this sim in my O2 branded phone to access the net.
Utterly crazy, none of the other networks block internet access.

Thanks Nikumba.
Regrettably that site is way out of date and doesn't have the specific settings for the Kaiser (XDA Stellar).
I have the settings for the XDA Exec for GPRS Web and GPRS Wap so if you want them let me know. I used to go online with my previous mobile XDA Mini S (HTC Wizard) & that was on a Pay and Go basis.
I will have to push O2 for better answers or change to a better network.

I use O2 with paygo for FULL WEB ACCESS without problems (I am in the UK) - BUT not all the published settings are correct!
By the wat the settings are not any different for the Kaiser than other WM devices eg mine are the same as I use in my TyTn
UK Settings written for the TyTn so menus may differ slightly(they may differ elsewhere):

Problems with Internet access are likely to be related to the port No: use 8080 NOT 80

FTP Over UK t-mobile 3G With Kaiser ?

I've tried to FTP into a known working FTP server via a 3G connection supplied by t-mobile UK - FAIL
Tech support at t-mobile say the Vario III isn't capable of FTP which I find difficult to believe.
Anyone else used FTP via laptop using their kaiser as a modem ?

Not one reply ?
No one does FTP with their Vario II III or IV ?
C'mon guys and gals help a guy bust a telco
Is port 21 accessible to you on your device & network ?
If so, t-mobile UK is shining me on by telling me it's the fault of the device rather then them blocking port 21 to prevent skype / portmapping etc.

I'm also on T-Mo UK with the MDA Vario III (Kaiser)...
It's probably an issue with the contract you're on. I originally had plain Web 'n' Walk, and I was told at point of sale that this will enable HSDPA at *full speed*, enable me to use my phone almost as a broadband modem and enable me to use all internet protocols. I tried for ages to get MSN working on my laptop when sharing the Kaiser's internet with no luck at all (long before I discovered this place)... After running a few speed tests using a HSDPA connection on my phone, I discovered I wasn't getting the speed I probably should. Called T-Mo tech support and they advised that no, I actually need web 'n' walk plus to get full speed HSDPA (3.8mbit, IIRC) and access to all data protocols. Now MSN works perfectly!
I've not tested FTP access, but it's worth calling T-Mo or checking which Web 'n' Walk plan you're on (if any at all) - this is the most likely problem.
And you're probably right, it's probably to stop you screwing them out of money by using VoIP rather than the cellular network .

BBConnect on Kaiser, Vodafone Spain, "Network Available"

I have a Kaiser, WM6.1, BBConnect 4.0.0.103 or 4.0.0.104 same experience - The Blackberry configuration applet always shows "Network Available" (unless of course it shows blocked by ActiveSync, or Suspended by User). It never actually connects.
This is with a Vodafone.ES (Spain) SIM in the phone.
Earlier this year, with a T-Mobile USA SIM in the phone and a 4.0.0. late 90s or maybe early 100s BBConnect, it connected fine. The key difference now is the Vodafone Spain SIM, I believe.
Note, regular data - Internet, web, ActiveSync with DirectPush - all work fine.
So, any idea what it takes to get BBConnect on a Kaiser with WM6.1 in Spain with a Vodafone Spain SIM to actually connect? (The Vodafone Spain account to which this SIM is configured is on a BlackBerry Enterprise plan).
Thank you!
Jay
