RAZR


Question Posted Wednesday October 4 2006, 5:32 pm

I just got a razr phone and it's cingular and on my old phone, I used to be able to get on aim and on the internet but this phone won't let me do it. It says I have to set it up and it asks for "GPRS APN" and I have no idea what that is. Can someone tell me what it is and how I can get it to work? Thanks!

GPRS = General Packet Radio Service
APN = Access Point Name, it is the access point for the above

I'd go back and try the location where you got your phone from, first. Depending on why you are getting this, they might be able to help, change a setting, give you a new sim card, etc etc.

If they dont/wont help you, head over to the Cingular forums, specifically the messaging portion: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I looked around a bit, and there are a ton of problems like this. Some phones dont support AIM. Some providers have problems with it. Not to mention network/sim/phone compatibility issues. You would probably be best served going on the forums and giving them as much info as possible, I'm sure your problem isn't unique.

As far as I can tell, there isn't a simple 'code' or somesuch you can input yourself.
