I have an HP Imate pocket PC. I want to connect to the internet to surf and do e mail. Can I do this with only Hala prepaid or must my sim be postpaid? How do I connect to the internet? I am fairly computer literate

If it has WIFI Feature, all u gotta do is search for WIFI networks and connect to a Network. If it doesnt have WiFi, Just send an sms ALL to 2072, u will recieve the settings in a while, save and install it. Answered on Tue, 08/07/2008 - 7:30pm

Hope this answer sorts out your problem. You should use GPRS to be able to connect to Internet. This is available on the Hala subscription. However, the settings sent by QTel doesn't work well on the Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) or 6 (WM6) devices. If you put a sim card, Qtel generally sends you an sms for the settings. But these settings are not applied properly on WM5 or WM6 phones. I have an HTC TyTNII phone and faced the same issue. To resolve it, you need to manually configure the GPRS settings on your phone. QTEL wasn't of much help. However, these settings are available on the Internet at the following: See at the bottom of the web page for detailed GPRS Settings. On your iMate, i assume you are running WM5 or WM6. To create a new GPRS connection (I have WM6 and maybe WM5 might be slightly different), perform the following: 1. Click on Start > Settings In case you do not see the "QTel GPRS" connection (Step 4), you will have to create a new one. To create a new one, use the "Add a new modem connection". Give the connection a name and Select "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" as the modem type. By the way, I don't work for QTEL.... :) Answered on Wed, 09/07/2008 - 11:56am
