A 4150 ipaq and the internet

[C7KEN]

Since christmas I have tried to surf the internet using a 4150 and a bluetooth sony ericson T610 phone using vodafone gprs without success it appears to make the connection but only rarely do I get a web page on the ipaq screen, numerous calls to vodafone and HP have not produced an answer infact they are worse than useless anyone have any suggestions ? connection using gsm is fine but of course too slow and the phone itself links up to vodafone live using gprs without a problem

Well by default I couldn't get the T610 to grab email off a non-vodafone email server. So I got Voda (Well, 4U) to send me the appropriate non-WAP gprs accounts. These show up as Vodaphone Internet and Vodaphone Live! on my phone (Main Menu -> Connectivity (the * key is a shortcut) -> Data comm. -> Data Accounts) Since you probably have a different phone retailer things might show up differently. But this is what mine says:

New Account
Vodafone GPRS
Vodafone WAP
Vodafone Internet <-- this is the one *I* use
Vodafone Live!

Click on "Vodafone Internet", you will see something like:

Edit
Rename
CID=2 <--- this is the number you want to take notice of.

Next, modify your ipaqs dialer, to dial *99***2# where 2 is the number after CID= shown on your phone.

Now when your 4150 (or other PDA) dials vodafone GPRS it'll just work!
Though I've noticed that vodaphone wap doesn't seem to work around the Paddington Area when I try it around 7pm ... I'm looking forward to be able to check proper gprs connectivity on the way into London...

Thanks for your help apparently there is a difference in setting with an ericson but eventually got someone from voda to sort it out and now I am surfing thro gprs without problems
