Thanks Justin - My phone should be here by Tuesday/Wednesday, so that's when
I'll be getting started, but haven't got TALKS yet!

Hi Andy,
yes, I'm a bit new to GPRS also lol.  WEll, as far as setting up GPrS is
concerned I'd be inclined to phone Orange for assistance on that.
people can do it by going to the orange website and clicking on the
appropriate links that lead you to setting up your phone with GPRS.
HOwever, in my experience I had trouble with the text messages and getting
the phone to connect to GPRS.  it wasn't gonna do it for me!  Even a visit
to the orange shop didn't cure it!  Mind you, I've got an n-gage and, the
guy on orange customre services said that n-gage's can be problematic to set
up for GPRS.

So, I'd give orange customer services a call and they'll talk you through
the process.

let us know how you're getting on with this Andy.
