Orange GPRS : connection failure
 

Hi,

I am fighting to connect my 770 to internet with GPRS using my Sony Ericsson K600i bluetooth phone. Every time I try to connect I got a "connection failed" error.

I use the French (and European I think) operator "Orange"

I have found the mobile operator wizard, created a connection choosing the "Orange entreprises" operator. That is strange, since I am not a company.

I have paired my phone without any problem, I can browse the phone files through the 770 file manager.

The internet connection works like a charm from my laptop (with IRDA) under windows XP. I just chose "*99#" as the phone number and "orange/orange" as the user name and password. I wasn't asked for any APN.

The connection created by the wizard on the 770 use "orange-mib" as the APN, "*99***1#" as the phone number, orange/orange as user/passwd.

I tried to change the APN name. The values "orange" "orange.fr" "orangeinternet" did not work. I tried to use "*99#" as the phone number instead of "*99***1#" with each of those values. No success.

I am banging my head against my keyboard (I do it very well as you can read)

Please help !!

Thank you,
François

It works !!
 

A few minutes ago I updated the 770 with today's new release. I then noticed new phone operator "Orange GPRS". But I saw through my tears that it still could not connect. Then in the connection parameters I changed the phone number from "*99***1#" to "*99***4#"... and... it worked !!!!

I am gonna put it on the wiki

thank you :)

My settings
 

For people using Orange in France:

APN: orange.fr
Number: *99***4#
user name : orange
password : orange

this works with the SE K600i

For using (E)GPRS with ByT and for non-corporate people the correct APN is:
ebouygtel.com
