1 replies · 1,902 views · Started 26 May 2003

I'm currently working on my final yr project, which is to develop an application using VC6 ... which able to like send message to a server using GPRS and the server will reply.

I've no idea at all about Symbian and EPOC, and thus starting to learn now, but i've got only like 9 weeks 😞

I have to say the mini guide on getting started is excellent. I'm trying that out now and hope it works well.

I will like to ask about the GPRS communication. how do i activate that on the phone n how to i get connected and communicate with the server?

Thanks alot 😃 😃

The GPRS connection is handled by the Internet settings in the Control panel. Make this connection the preferred connection.

Communication with the server is handled through the RSocket class. Host names can be resolved using the RHostResolver class. (I hope these classes still exist. Last time I used them was under ER5).
