9290 internet and email set up

3 replies · 5,119 views · Started 09 August 2005

I have a 9290 and am trying to set up internet and email. My provider is Cingular and I took the sim card out of my N-gage QD, and the phone works fine. With Cingular MEdia Net is the acess point from where you browse and get you email. In the set up on the 9290 it asks for a phone number for the acess point---on my QD you don't ysed the phone number for an acess point, it just opens up the browser when you click on it. NOt sure what it is asking for with a phone number. It seems to me if the phone works great that the message stuff should work also. Need some help please.

Thanks,
Bob

The 9290 does not have GPRS (packet data) support (like your N-Gage), so you need to set up a (circuit switched) dial-up connection to an analog or ISDN modem line.

I.e., your email or Internet service provider needs to have a modem dial-up phone number. If they don't, you can't connect with the 9290.

Oh, Ok I will give them a call. Is it just a regular modem number like I would have at home???? That is why the set up keeps asking for a phone number.

Thanks,
