Getting an iPAQ to talk to a 3650 and then to GPRS

1 replies · 1,708 views · Started 23 June 2003

I used to have a T68i and used it to send SMS and access the web from my iPAQ 3870 via Bluetooth and GPRS. I now have a 3650, but I can't get the BT to work properly, and thus can't get the iPAQ's browser to access the Internet. I also can't get Simple SMS to work properly.

When I pair the iPAQ and the 3650, it bonds OK, and I have set the iPAQ as authorised on the 3650. When I open the BT Manager on the iPAQ, I see the 3650 as "available", when I select it, it opens and it says it has retrieved the services. (It then shows as "connected" at the overview level).
If I choose to "Set as Bluetooth dialup modem", it works. If I choose to "Connect to Bluetooth Serial port" it fails, saying it "Failed to retrieve services for this device"

In the former case, what do I put in the iPAQ's connection settings so that I can connect the iPAQ to the Internet. On the T68 it was *99***2#

In the latter case, how do I get this to work so that I can use Simple SMS?

Guff

I'm using an iPaq 4155 with a Nokia 6600 on Orange, I have my iPaq configured to dial *99*# and it works a treat. May not work for your configuration but worth a shot.
