A how-to guide for the P800, Bluetooth, and GPRS Network

Over at my site, I've written a little how-to on setting up your P800 to play nice with your Mac so you can be online wherever you are on the planet. Hope it's useful to you.

I cannot ofcourse speak for any other operator's networks than of those I have used. But as for them this is valid. (I have used three different operators here in Finland).

What I do to get the GPRS running is first of all input (or order via SMS) the GPRS settings of the operator to my mobile. Then I check the CID the settings were saved on. In this case : CID = 1.

Then all I have to do on the Mac is set the telephone number to call to as: *99***1#
The '99' being part of the command to open up a GRPS connection, and the '1' as the CID on the phone. Naturally change the '1' to match your CID on the phone.

I have used this method with Nokia and SonyEricsson phones. And the greatest thing for people using multiple phones (or swapping to a newer one monthly) is that if your CID remains the same, all you have to do is mate the phone with your Mac (if using Bluetooth) and everything else remains the same. No phone-script downloads needed. Just a generic XXXX IR-profile will work (even if using Bluetooth). Naturally if you are using IR to connect to your mobile, you don't even have to mate the new phone - just switch on the phone's IR and off you go...

Has anyone else had any issues with this not working?

I recently upgraded to 10.3 and now I have it wont work. Was working just fine with 10.2, but i've tried deleting and re-pairing the phone's BT settings, to no avail.

The phone says 'Dialing *99***6#' instead of the old 'Connecting' as it used to.

Am I missing something blatently obvious?
