Cell phones forum: Internet Access from my unlocked phone?

What's probably missing from your phone are the settings for 'net access via Cingular. I haven't used a V360, but I'm guessing there's a menu somewhere for internet access. Open up that menu, and then call customer service on a separate line and see if they can help. Mind you, they'll probably tell you they don't support that phone, but you never know until you ask.

hi i bought a unlocked a008 smartphone pda off of ebay and i got tmobile and everything works but the web and i called t mobile and they said that they cant help cause they dont see this phone can anyone help me please

Thanks for the help. I used the settings you gave and my phone works great now. I really appreciate it.

Hi,
Just bought an unlocked Slvr and also have Cingular. Are the settings you listed to access the web universally effective or only relevant to certain phones?

I cannot access the internet with my phone though it works fine otherwise.

Best regards,
K

I just recently got an unlocked L6 off of ebay (my carrier is cingular also). I followed the instructions you posted to access the internet however when trying to access the website that was text messaged to me to receive a ringtone I got an unsuccessful message. Any suggestions?

Yeah, I do admi that the steps that I posted may not be one of the easiest to follow. Even I had to go through alittle trial and error. But I'm glad that you got what you needed out of it. Enjoy your L6.....:-)

I hope that this helps and good luck.

I have had my phone for over a week and have been going crazy because I couldn't connect to my mobile network or receive mms messages. I tried this out and it worked! I'm so excited...thank you!!!

Not really....this lsit was something I found on the net, and just went through what was said. For the Auto-Clean, that is purely a cell phone maintenance setting. I have mine set to 7. So I can only assume that you can set it to 5, 7, or never.

Good Luck

I would like to help you. First off, just know that this is for Cingular settings. Since that I have Cingular, this is what I researched on. Could you give me alittle more info like your cell service and what you wanted to do?

Try this, as this is an automatic thing that can go from Cingular.com to your phone..

1: Log into Cingular.com with your number and password.

2: Go to My Account, then My Phone.

3: Click on Phone/Device Support.
--Under that, Click on the hyper-link choose another phone/device.

4: Choose Motorola and L6 on the respective fields and then Next.

5: Scroll down to where it says Device Setup and click on the hyperlinks for Auto-configure device for media setup.
6: Follow the On-Screen instructions.

What this would do is to send an auto-setup signal to your L6 (through your cingular account/phone number) and should be able to auto configure your phone for MMS.

Hope that this works out for you and good luck

If you are with Cingular then just go to the Cingular.com web site and go to the phone tutorial. Just pick your phone from the Motorola list and follow the internet setup instructions.

If you've been looking into this it appears they try to only let locked phones do this trick.
