GUIDE TO SETTING UP WEB BROWSER and MMS SESSIONS for the V8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TO USE WEB SERVICE THRU AT&T
======================
Settings are a little tricky on this one. There are two seperate areas that have to be filled in.


STEP 1
=====
1. Go to Settings-->Connections-->Add a Connection.
2. Create one called MEdia Net using the following settings.

Profile Name: Media Net
Proxy 1: 66.209.11.32
Port 1: 80
GPRS APN: wap.cingular
User Name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
Quality of Service: Data
GPRS Timeout: 15 Minutes
SAVE SETTINGS

No Additonal Settings are Required.

STEP 2
=====
Under "Browser Setup" in the Web Access Menu, you need to select Browser Profiles. Then "Add a New Profile".
1. Profile Name : MEdia Net
2. Homepage: http://device.home
3. Data Connection: MEdia Net.
SAVE SETTINGS


USING MMS WITH AT&T
===============

1. Open up the Messages Folder
2. Click on Options
3. Select Multimedia Messages
4. Choose "Manage Service Profiles"
5. Choose "Create"
---> Profile Name: AT&T
---> Service Center: mmsc.cingular.com
---> Internet Connection: MEdia Net
SAVE SETTINGS
6. Go back to Message Folder/Options/Multimedia Messages again.
7. Select "Active Service Profile"
8. Choose "AT&T"


I sure hope this little guide helps everyone who has the V8 and AT&T to be able to connect to the Internet and to be able to exchange MMS.

We will be getting you one shortly. Just waiting for the englsh keypads.

You might be waiting a while on the English keypads. It seems that I was lucky to get one.
I ordered from Phonesource the FIRST day they were released and I was told that I actually got the first one.
I got the English keypad.

Baldilocks,

Thank you Mr. BL, your guide worked perfectly. I did cuss you for a bit, but it seems you have to type it as you wrote, you can get creative with typos.

[Alpha43]

Since its nicely written i will sticky it for now.

I used this for the Z6 and everything works on it except the MMS. I have browser service, I can text to an email address, I just can't MMS to another phone. Any ideas?

Thankyou worked great on my 2gb v8

[puffyy]

Would you know where I can get the same settings for the Rogers Network in Canada. I always get an error message when sending and receiving a picture message.

Thank you! We are two blondes who bought the V8 phone because it "looked" great - and nobody wanted to help us set up the thing with our AT&T service - not sure if it was because they thought we were dumb blondes or they didn't know - anyway - your instructions are perfect and we are thrilled! Thank you
