How to setup second packetdata account
 
How can I set up a second packet data account in my internet connections ? the default account is configured automaticially probably from the SIM data, but how can I add another account for a different APN ? The Wizzard only gives me WLAN's, but no trace of a packetdata account.

Yeah, that is quite sucky to say the least. if you would wanna switch sim cards of different providers you mean?

No, same sim, same provider. Just 2 different APN's. One is the general internet connection, the other features some web-access for controlling the subscription....
To be sure, I'm not talking WAP but I fear the absence of that feature (if so) could be a directly linked with missing APN choices.

I have concerns about this issue too. I use T-Mobile USA. On Symbian phones, the set-up wizard will typically give the incorrect APN for packet data. I am thus forced to go in and edit it manually. Additionally, I may wish to set up another pack data setting. Page 32 of the extended users' manual says that one can go into SETTINGS > INTERNET CONNECTIONS > CONNECTIONS and edit those settings always existing. It is crucial, I feel, to be able to add APNs on ones on.

Currently you can only have one APN set up at a time. Hopefully in future updates this will be fixed

As a workaround I change the APN name in the existing profile back and forth, but I hope we'll get rid of that shortcoming in the next updates ....

Thanks. I take it that with all of its rough edges that you still like the device?

Yes I do, but this is certainly the first of its kind, so expect some unexpected behaviour :)
