Orange GPRS from a Palm Tungsten T3

Recently, I enabled GPRS on my phone, so that I could get high speed connections to the Internet from my Tungsten T2 via Bluetooth.



Unfortunately, the required information for configuring the Palm network connection isn't available anywhere on the Orange website. However, Orange data services helped me through the setup, so in case anyone else needs it here is what you do:



In Network create a new Service with the following parameters:



Service: Orange (or any name of your choice)

User name: "a"

Password: "a"



Note the quotes are required



Connection type: PPP

Idle timeout: never

Query DNS

IP Address automatic



Script:

Send AT&F

Send CR

Send AT+CGDCONT=1 ,"IP","orangeinternet"

Send

Send

Send CR

Send ATD*99#

Send CR

Wait for CONNECT

End



In Connection create a new Connection with the following parameters:



Connection

Name: GPRS (can be whatever you want)

Connect to: PC

Via: Bluetooth

Device: Nokia 6310i

Speed: 115,200

Flow Ctl: Automatic



In Network make sure that connection is set to GPRS (or whatever you

called it) and away you go.
