Connecting To Cingular Gprs Via Bt
« on: September 10, 2005, 02:31:44 pm »
I think I have my bluetooth card (socket rev H) working now, but I can't get it to connect properly to my phone for browsing the internet. I have the zaurus and phone paired, and I've created a script according to the information here. When I try to connect, the phone will light up, so I know it's connecting to some extent. But it just says "dialing" on the zaurus for a while and stops. I think the problem may be that you're supposed to use the following information:

Telephone number:WAP.CINGULAR
User Name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

I think the fact that the telephone number is a string of alphabetic characters is messing things up. I can connect via my phone with my powerbook using the above information, though, so it does work. Does anyone know how to get this working?

Well, I got it to work by substituting the "connect" section from the BT-GPRS file in home/etc/ppp/peers/ for the information that I had before. Apparently *99# will work instead of WAP.CINGULAR for the telephone number.
