Hi Graham,

I believe if you set your dial up number to Star Nine Nine Hash, you will get a 
GPRS connection.  I have done it with the Braillenote, and so has Jonathan 
Mosen, so we know it works <Smile>.

All the best

This may be a message for the phonefreaks or even the Braillenote list really 
so please advise me if so.

I have a Braillenote and a Nokia 6600 and I want to get Braillenote to connect 
via the infrared port to the phone so I can use it as a modem.

I have got this working on an ordinary dial-up internet connection, my FreeUK 
connection in fact, but I want to connect to GPRS instead.  I am with T-Mobile. 
 Is this possible?  is it just the number I dial I need to change?

Cheers

Graham

Hi James,

GPRS, General Packet Radio System, is just a way of connecting to the Internet, 
via a mobile phone.  WAP, Wireless Access Protocol, is just a means by which 
web pages are rendered smaller, and less graphically cluttered for mobile 
phones.  You only actually need GPRS for a successful connection to the 
Wayfinder server, but in general terms, GPRS is a vehicle by which you can 
connect to WAP or even web pages, with your phone.

Hope this helps.

All the best

Hi steve

Could you explain 'WAP', 'GPRS' and what exactly I need for Wayfinder?  I guess 
We can take this off list if people are getting bored!

  Hi James,

  You only actually require Wap to be enabled, you don't necessarily need 
Orange World, although it is good, because you can now use Wap with Talks, and 
it has some interesting elements, like looking up train times for example.

  All the best

  Hi

  I've just got a Nokia 6630 set up with Talks (as Steve will know).  I want to 
use Wayfinder, so I phoned Orange earlier to activate my GPRS and they gave me 
a trial of 'Orange world'.  Is this what I need to access the Internet?  Or 
does it only give you access to their silly WAP site?

  Thanks

  James
