Today, at last I'm fixing the GPRS connection of my 'new' PDA phone so that it can be connected. I know that the GPRS is functioned, but since I used the new PDA phone, the GPRS is refused to connect... and I just don't care... until recently, I saw it tried to connect but as expected - failed. I knew that MMS was coming in... since GPRS failed to connect, so I didn't get the MMS. However, everytime I wanna create new text msg, the GPRS will try to connect and somehow it annoyed me. I know, I know... a MMS is coming and the network is trying to send it in. So, ok... I'll try to fix it.
1st attemp - called Celcom Careline. However, the line is not that 'caring', the operator asked me to call back 2 hours later since all the technical persons were 'busy' at the moment. Alright, being patient I was, I agreed and called back after 2 hours later... only to be asked again to call back again two hours later. No, I wasn't having a deja vu... it really happened that way since their technical persons were still too 'busy'. This time, I changed my skin and being a lil bit mad, I asked for guarantee that I can talk to technical person if I do call back two hours later. The operator suggested I call at 6:00pm which was would be 4 hours later. He claimed that 6:00pm isn't a busy hour since most people are going out like playing football and won't call Celcom Careline to solve their network problems. Ok... I have no plan to go out at 6pm and I don't play football. Whatever!
2nd attemp - I surfed the Internet for the solution. Ok, I found the Celcom MMS setting for PDA phone. I changed the setting... but still the GPRS failed to connect. I referred to the Celcom website where there is setting configuration for different models of cellphone. However, HTC isn't included in the website... so I referred to the closest one I think which is Dopod 818 (actually this is the only available model of Dopod in the Celcom webpage). Then I noticed a statement at the bottom of the page that 3G sim card cannot receive or send MMS using the cellphone. I found one forum stated the same problem where he had called Celcom Careline to configure the MMS setting but he had been told that his 3G sim card cannot send and receive MMS using his non-3G cellphone. OMG, I'm afraid that I'd have the same problem... my sim card is also 3G, but my cellphone... to be specific PDA phone is non-3G. Ok, it did work with my previous cellphone - Nokia 6600 which is also non-3G cellphone... but maybe for PDA phones the settings are complicated and totally different. I did succeed in fixing the Internet setting by using Celcom 2G server instead of 3G... but still I cannot fix the setting for MMS. Although, it has been quite a long time since the last time I sent MMS... now and then, I do receive it ok. So I need MMS! I believe even my sim card is 3G and I can't changed the setting to 2G... there must be a way. Finally, yes I find the way. No need Celcom Careline or guides from the Internet to configure the MMS setting.
Ok, for my own note, here's the way briefly...
1. Change the Internet setting of access point name to "celcom" instead of "celcom3g". The phone should be abled to connect to the Internet using GPRS by now.
2. Change the connection of MMS setting to "The Internet" instead of "Celcom3G MMS Setting". The port number can stay as "8080"... no need to change it to "9201".
After hours (just about 2 hours actually), and finally succeed... rasa mcm terer plak. Maybe Celcom should hire me as their part-time technical person especially on weekend (baru terer fixing the MMS setting, dah riak semacam kan). I feel good, great and gifted indeed... heheee...
Btw, the MMS that kept trying to enter my MMS inbox is from my sis... an image of SuperDet Returns! (A pic of Tun Mahathir in Superman outfit... yeah I got the meaning...) Sabar jer lah... :-D
