Hello, I purchased a phone from you via ebay. I have successfully turned the phone service on through AT&T wireless. My problem is that I cannot connect online. I have contacted AT&T and Siemens and spoke with numerous people, for numerous hours (literally) and no one has been able to help me. I'm not sure what to do, and I am a bit illiterate when it comes to certain jargon. Please assist. I had the same phone before purchased through AT&T and it was stolen, along with my car! Sucks. I purchased the phone from you not knowing that there were changes. I can accept change, if I am able to use all functions of the phone. So far, I can't. Also, how do you get the phone off military time?
Thank you
Brenda
have you setup the GPRS settings like it used to be ?
if you dont have the GPRS settings then try searching in the networking forum somebody is bound to have been looking for those settings like you
man, i never said i was the smartest, I spent like a week in the hermes forums looking for info that I could possibly be using on my treo!!! First question is there any 750 users in Japan? Hopefully there are, I just picked mine up in HK and have been using it here in japan for about 3 weeks, I love the phone just can't seem to work the mms bugs out of it, hopefully some members are using theres in japan on softbanks service.
Hello Etriess
I been thinking of getting the 750v and have had the X01HT by SB but the unit was too slow.. Window... How is the speed of the 750V? do you have software slowdown issues? and what provider are you using? Docomo ? SB?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Hey catfish,
I am using SB service, so I didn't have any issues when it was unlocked. I have now unlocked it and still working fine, I have not used anyother sim card except SB's. As far as speed is I haven't had another WM phone so really nothing to compare it to. I do like it, the speed to me is fine, I like my phone software to be fast, that is why I would never use a samsung phone again the software is just to dam slow, so sorry couldn't help with that question.
etriess,
I just brought over an unlocked treo 750 from the US to Japan and using with with a SB sim card. The one problem I'm having is that I can't access the internet with the phone. The direct push/email synch is working for me, but for some reason I can't access the internet. I'm currently using the Vodofone Access Point and I tried the new *99# access point, but nothing is working for me. Supposedly "open.softbank.ne.jp" used to work, but it was shutdown at the end of April. Do you information on an access point that works with the Treo 750?
I just moved back to Japan, and I have an unlocked Cingular Treo 750 (WM5). I also subscribed with Softbank, with their unlimited packet internet plan. Can anyone tell me the settings they are using for their treo 750 if they are using it with their treo? How did you configure your access point settings? I have been able to make phone calls, but I have not been able to get any data portion to work. I tried some of the suggestions on the Hermes forum, but I could not get the password necessary for the AP to work. Are you using the old cingular/vodaphone settings? Are you being billed per packet?
Thanks.
Yukster,
Did you get your problem solved? Have the same situation with you, searching a solution now for 6 months!
Opensoftbank AP Password conundrum
I am working on the solution to this problem. I think the answer lies in the WIFIwake.exe program that is available on the Hermes and Universal forums. There are three ways this problem could get solved:
1) Edit the WIFIwake.exe so that it can be used with other devices (possible I assume, because the Hermes WIFIwake is a slightly changed copy of the Universal WIFIwake) This will probably prove beyond my capabilities.
2) Get the password by looking at the code of WIFIwake.exe. I have managed to open the exe with a debugger program and there are some likely contenders. I am in the process of trying them now. Trying them all will take some time.
3) Find the guy who wrote these programs and get him to write another that is either universal or that can be used on a Treo 750. I, personally, don't want a 750, but there are more than a few Japanese users I have seen that would be interested in getting this to work.
Anything in here anyone can help me with? I need it.
it works in japan. tested by myself. (in tokyo at least)
@SirJeannot, can you be more specific? I know the 750v should work in Japan as it has the right radios, but the question is what access protocol is being used.
Can you access the internet using a softbank simcard? If so, what access point name are you using? Is it open.softbank.ne.jp? Or is it something else?
Also, can you access Softbank MMS?
Sorry, no solutions as of yet... I have temporarily given up, and bought a Sharp EM One when works on the E Mobile network. I also got a regular Softbank cellphone, (Toshiba 911T) and is patiently waiting for a solution. Right now, the Windows mobile situation is pretty bleak, with the X01HT being sold out, and its replacements being delayed for over 2 months. The solutions from wilcom is expensive and slow, being stuck on a 256 kbs PHS network, and expensive, with its unlimited data plan at over 12000 yen. At least the EM One is pretty capable, but large, and has no phone capabilities.
There is no debate that you can use the Treo 750 in Japan... I have roamed several times with it when it was with AT&T. I have put the softbank sim in, and it works fine, but the data portion did not work.

i was using a french simcard, so for the apn i really have no clue. mms did work, but through the settings of my own carrier.
i can't help you on the settings
My friend recently gave me his Pantech Duo after I broke my Tilt. I unlocked it and it works fine, although I am really missing my Tilt. The thing that is most aggravating is the absence of threaded sms. Does anyone know how I can get this? I know I can update to 6.1, but in the user agreement it said after I upgraded, my phone would only be usable with an AT&T contract. I didn't know if this was true or not, but I didn't want to run the risk (I have tmobile). I'd be fine with WM6 if I could just get threaded sms, but apparently you can't run cab files like you could on the tilt. Any help you guys could give me would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thats because the phone is put out by att, therefore the liscense was given to att, which they then pass to you (as an att customer) You will be fine. You aren't going to get much help around here though, this site is htc.
been a while since i been here after my mda got a blackberry/iphone for a while and after the initial awe it lost its glamor now i have bought the att fuze locked phone but i have tmobile and i know i can unlock it but i am just making sure the fuze and raphael are the same thing right now i know yes after reading a few threads
still have one question bout the tzones if any tmobile users could help me out thanks
.. also i have tzones package the 499 one and i was wondering can it still work with this and what settings i have to change or will it just work i had an app for the iphone that did everything.
Thanks once again glad to be back to windows.
search for tzone cab..... if you cannot find it, PM me, i can help you out.
yes it still works. now you dont need to use proxy anymore. Just set up a connection under "My ISP" and under Access Point Name use: epc.tmobile.com
Hello, and thanks for being here!!
If I am posting in the wrong section, I apologise here and now
I have a Blackberry Curve with internet and wifi. I broke the phone (only 3 weeks old..dog decided it might be tasty. I also have an MQ008 watchphone, which accepts my Orange account sim. It works perfectly for making calls etc, but I can't work out how to access the internet...it has WAP and GPRS.
Can anybody explain what I have to do to get the watchphone to access my Orange internet account? I don't know much about phones at all, being 63 years old, and not really au fait with how they work. So, I would be very much obliged if somebody can explain to me how to do it, IF it is possible,in simple words for a simple old guy!!
Thank you all for reading!
Nick
