6021 Subscribe to packet data for Vodafone contrac...

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to get my Nokia 6021 to bluetooth connect to my HP Ipaq 2210. My phone is on a contract basis with Vodafone and I keep getting the error "please subscribe to packet data" when the two pieces of hardware connect. I can browse the web on my mobile but it will not allow my phone to connect to the IPAQ. Currently the active access point is set to "internet", which I think is incorrect but I don't know what else it should be!!? Vodafone have been no use!!! I'm running out of options. Thanks for any help.

I have the same problem attempting to connect with an iPAQ (hx4700) via a 8800 to GPRS and it constantly makes the bt connection, shows the big "G" top LHS for a short while and then gives error "packet data access point not valid". My Service Provider is O2.
The bluetooth connection seems fine, and I can successfully use my laptop with bluetooth via the 8800 to GPRS but I cannot figure out why on earth the iPAQ keeps provoking this error message on the Nokia 8800. Has anybody had the same trouble and found a solution?
FYI the PC Suite between the laptop and 8800 works fine (with the exception of MESSAGES which keep duplicating and for which i have given up trying to find a solution. Nokia is not much help.

  • "Subscribe to Packet Data First" (Bit of feedback)

    I recently bought a Nokia 6021, which offers Bluetooth connectivity and E-mail function (send and retrieve). I got some setup advice Forum members.
    Bluetooth was easy to set up, and I now use the phone in the car with a handsfree unit, which clips on the sun visor.
    Very satisfactory.
    E-mail was (much) more difficult to set up.
    I kept getting an error: "Subscribe to Packet Data First".
    It turned out that the fundamental problem lay in the fact that Vodafone Support had incorrectly given me the settings for a "Contract SIM card" when in fact I operate mine as a "Pay-As-You-Talk SIM card".
    Specifically they got me to insert "Internet" as one of the Bearer Settings parameters - when it should actually be "pp.vodafone.co.uk". "pp" indicates PrePaid.
    So watch that point, all you PAYT Users!
    It wasn't a 6021 problem ... it was a question of identifying the right kind of SIM card.
    Incidentally, when the 6021 retrieves e-mails, if the message is too big (I think above 100k), it fetches the message header, with sender's ID, etc., so that you can identify who has e-mailed you even if you can't read their message/file. Suits me perfectly.
    Thanks for the advice I got from Forum members.
    Best regards - Charles

    You need to contact your Operator and get the Data plan activated ...

  • Web access-gprs 6233 - Subscribe to packet data

    Trying to get my RX1950 to connect to the Internet using my Nokia 6233 and the IR port.
    Contract is all fine as phone can browse web no problem, have checked and double checked PDA settings.
    IR connection is established and phone says "Creating Connection" it then comes back with "Subscribe to Packet data first"
    APN is "internet"
    Username web password web
    Extra dial string "+CGDCONT =1,"IP","internet"
    Many thanks....

    Thanks,I know the settings  are normally sent through an SMS when the phone is first activated, but they weren't.
    I've spoken to Vodafone twice and they have no settings for this particular phone, I guess it's too new.  They've sent the ones for an X6 at least twice but they never arrive so presumably they're not right.  I've also spent ages in the shop and they too have tried to send the settings from the Vodafone site, again at least twice and without success.  All that arrives is a text with a PIN to save but the subsequent messages with the actual setting never turn up.   The shop has also spoken to Vodafone who admit that they don't actually have any settings at all for this phone either available by sms or for manual entry.
    I guess that means that at least for the time being the internet is a no go unless someone else has any ideas.

  • Packet data for Nokia C3-00

    I have the suite and a network adaptor automatically created. Both of that can't access, the c3-00 respond "Subscribe to Packet data first".. But I already have the gprs settings from my network provider.. What should I do?. Please help me.

    Can you browse with your phone? If yes, your problem is alrealdy solved. Nokia PC Suite (any version) wont work with S40 phones like C3. You have to download Nokia Ovi Suite for PC. You can google it and download it free. It's about 87.something MB. It works perfectly.

  • How do I subscribe to packet data first on my Noki...

    I am trying to get onto the wap using a Nokia 7373 i have has my settings set via Nokia but its saying ' subscribe to packet data first' what is this and how do i do it?
    Many Thanks

    Once you are downloading and installing the GPRS from your Service Provider you are subscribing the Packed Data. The full form of abbreviated GPRS = General Packed Data Radio Service. Your problem is a problem with "Configuration" in the Handset. All you need to select NO from PERSONAL CONFIGURATION SETTING by following the path : Main Menu>Settings>Configuaration>Personal Configuration Settings.
    Input Data : Personal Account  : JAVA    click the java
    Home Page : www.google.co.in
    User Name : ppp
    Password : ppp123
    Use Preferred access point : YES
    NOW GO BACK TO CONNECTIVITY Menu item.
    Select : Packet  Data
    CLICK THE ITEM    : PCKET DATA SETTING 
    Put against Active  Access Point : Data Bearer  Packet Data                                                         Put against the item 'Alias for access  point'  :  Data Bearer Packed Data.                                 Put against item 'PACKET DATA ACCESS POINT' :  gprseast.cellone.in

    TO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION!!!!!
    I have had this phone for a week and the WLAN has been very problematic!
    To stop the phone from connecting to the GPRS instead of using the WLAN you must...
    - Change all the settings to 'ASK FIRST', this includes the internet connection under connectivity and within the saved WLANS, each must have ask first selected.
    - You must edit the packet data settings (under connectivity), it must say 'when needed' and then you must change the access point to a different point, e.g. Access point , then edit this access point, the alias can be anything (it is just a name), but the access point must be changed to the WLAN access point you are trying to connect to.
    To find this access point code you must go to ...
    Menu - settings - connectivity - WLAN - available wlans - then click edit on the WLAN you want to use. Look under 'Access point MAC', this should be a long list of numbers and letters separated by colons e.g. 1A:2B:3C:4D:5E:6E.
    This works at home because you can save the WLAN and use the preferred access point, to make this work for 'hot spots' you will probably have to write down the access point code from the WLAN you want to use and create a new access point and change access points when you are using a different connection.
    This works by saving specific access points to available WLAN locations.

  • Nokia C3-01 & subscribe to packet data first.

    Hello !
    I have a nokia c3-01, I am not able to connect to the internet using WLAN, it says subscribe to packet data first. 
    can anyone help me on this.
    Thanks.

    Go to menu-settings-configuration settings-personal settings- my web. Do not enter any data in any field & press back. Do again with my access point. Now select these two as active settings & access point. Now go to connectivity-wlan. Search & save your wlan. Set the connection to do not ask. You will be able to connect using wlan only.
    Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

  • N86 Poor Battery - Packet Data Issue

    Hi
    I have owned my Nokia N86 since July 09; what a great mobile phone apart from its appalling battery life. The tech specs say 15 days but I only get 3 days standby at most even as a very very light user. Often the battery life will drop instantly from ½ bars to zero when I open a GPS app.
    I have set up all the power saving options mentioned in other thread but I have identified an issue with the battery draining Packet Data from Vodafone. I end packet data, by holding the red key, each time I close the sider & the packet data symbol below the signal strength bar goes away. However, when I open the slider & unlock the phone I notice the Packet Data is turned back on.
    My Packet Data is set up for 'when needed'; unlocking the slider does not mean I need it! Has anyone found a way around this & is my battery life as bad as other peoples? I can’t afford to own a phone which will die on me just as I need to make an urgent call.
    Cheers
    As an aside when will Nokia finally update its firmware so when I close a program it actually closes & does not go into the background wasting battery life!

    PROBLEM IDENTIFIED BUT NOT SOLVED.
    I took my N86 into a Nokia Care Center and found the source of my poor battery life and why packet data keeps turning back on after I turn it off:
    'Vodafone Internet GPRS keeps reconnecting automatically as it is set for 3G. Other mobile networks allow you to turn 3G off when not needed.'
    Found by: settings-connection-destinations-internet-vodafone internet GPRS.
    So the ball of blame is now in Vodafones court to change their software & let users deselect 3G when required. Nokia still need to fix the firmware so battery drain/gauge is more accurate & linear.
    Any work arounds would be appreciated as at the moment this issue has reduced my battery life by ~80%.
    Cheers

  • NOKIA5130Xpressmusic "Packet Data Error"

    I've opera mini in my handset and GPRS is working fine. But when I try to download any file i.e. .JPG/ .IMG/ .exe a msg pops up "Subscribe to Packet Data" and then a second message "Link not available". As well when i try to open "nokia mobi" i receive the same error. Pls help me.

    Call whoever your service provider is and ask them to send internet or gprs settings for your device, after the message arrives save them and power off and on your device.

  • 6212 NFC & AT&T - Packet Data Problem

    I have a Nokia 6212 Classic.  I just put an AT&T (california) sim chip in it for the first time.  Cell works, text works.  but Internet says "Must subscribe to packet data first".  I called at&t and they were not helpful (big surprise), all they could say is that i am subscribed.
    Does anyone know what the packet data settings are to do it manually?  Cingular was wap.cingular
    Thanks!
    Frustrated

     Go into Settings.  Go into Configuration.  Go into Personal Configuration Settings.  Now, press Add New (visible if you don’t have a previous Personal Setting created) or press the Options button. When you have pressed the Options button, choose Add new.  When you have pressed Add New, you will get a new menu, which will give several options to choose from.  Now, scroll down and choose the Access Point and press Select. (Please note that this option is not available on the Nokia 3220 model and maybe on some more models, you can instead use the Services option instead of the Access Point option on the Nokia 3220.) Do not choose the Web option, since this will not work with Opera mini.  Now go into Access Point Settings.  Go into Bearer Settings.  Go into Packet Data Access Point.  Now, enter you APN address corresponding to your provider. Then press OK.  Go back to the Personal Configurations Settings menu, where you now should be able to see an Access Point selected.  Now press the Options button, and then choose to activate this Access Point.  Now you should be able to start Opera Mini, and all other internet based applications.

  • Nokia 6085's packet data

    i just bought a nokia 6085 and when i try to connect to mxit,it says i must subscribe to packet data first.how do i subscribe to packet data?

    You have to ask your provider if all the data services for phone is bundled in your contract & have them downloaded the configuration for packet services(e.g. GPRS etc) to your phone. If not, you have to subscribe to them with additional tariff.

  • Nokia X2-03 - packet data help!

    I have recently bought the Nokia X2-03 and cannot connect to the internet.
    Every time I try to connect to the internet it keeps coming up with "subscribe to packet data first" so can anyone help me fix this problem? Please! 

    High most likely you don't have the needed settings. It might also be that using the network to browse internet isn't activated either. Depends on operator and what subscription you have.
    In any case you will have to contact your service provider/operator to get the settings or activate internet through in your subscription if thats possible.
    Call them or visit their website as usually most service providers offers settings to be ordered on their website. U will most likely get them as a text message.
