Nokia 5800 and ATT MediaNet I am not able to access internet thru AT&T EDGE/GPRS. How do you set 5800 to use ATT EDGE/GPRS? Thanks

Thanks Darth. I detected the problem while trying to use GPS. GPS was not able to find my position and prompted me to go online thru Options. That is when I realized that 5800 is not able to connect to ATT Internet. I think I confused ATT Internet with MediaNet.

If the phone works with a different sim, then get AT&T; to give you a new sim. They should do that for free.Another thing you can try, if you have a data plan, tell AT&T; to remove it from your account, then put it back on. I know several people who have had problems with data, and that fixed it (this is a common fix for any plan/feature issues).Also, if you previously had an iPhone (or ever popped your sim into a friend's iPhone to try it) make sure AT&T; does not have your phone device ID as an iPhone. If AT&T; thinks you have an iPhone it will mess up your data use on other phones. If the phone works with a different sim, then get AT&T; to give you a new sim.

KennethProblem is with the ATT, not 5800. 5800 works fine with another SIM card. I am stuck somewhere in no man's land. Nokia cannot fix this problem because it not their problem and ATT will not fix the problem because it non-ATT phone. So, my problem persists.

Hi Gurjit, Considering buying this phone. Bot able to connect to ATT Internet you say (does that also incl. EDGE)? Please elaborate?I've read in other reviews that the Nokia 5800 has no problems using ATT Internet/ EDGE and people have even been able to configure and use their BES on this phone. So looking to get this info from you before I go forward with this purchase.Thank You, EBM aka SlimFady (360)

5800 must've auto detected packet data access points when you registered with AT&T; network for the first time. For me it created AT&T; Internet and AT&T; MediaNet. The second one had proxy configured (proxy.cingular.com) or something. you need to go through the proxy to make mediaNet work (url is 'device.home').

In my personal opinion this is the only true "iPhone Killer" I've ran across. Like the popularity of the iPod and iTouch, of course accessories are not as abundant as the Apple Products (only, due to pure marketing by Nokia). Please share your opinion regarding this subject. (Present owner's of this item please respond)?

Thanks Darth. It did detect and configure the ATT access points - ATT Internet and ATT MediaNet. However, when I tried to go online, it says "packet data not found". I compare the ATT Internet settings with my E71. Everything is same. I cannot figure out why E71 can go online but 5800 cannot. Could it be some issue with SIM card, like SIM card not allowed to access ATT Internet. I have no problem in getting SMS.

did you check advanced settings of the ATT medianet access point ? it should have the proxy there... also, i don't have my 5800 now (had to return it) so I can't even check the settings now, but it used to work for me.why do you need medianet anyway ? I didn't find it useful.

@ETphonehome:yes. i've been using Nokia 5800 for the past 7 months using $15 data plan and I can enable/disable it any time I want. Samsung Eternity is an ATT branded phone that I received when I signed a new contract. I sold that phone long time ago. But ATT assumes that I'm enabling data plan to be used on Samsung eternity (hence the $15 plan).ATT only requires $30 plan for 'ATT-branded smartphones'. Not sure how long this policy will keep up. They could probably flag your line if you use *too* much data, I guess. I've used around maximum of 500 MB per month and it's been ok. Best part is free tethering with Nokia S60 phones :) @ETphonehome:yes. i've been using Nokia 5800 for the past 7 months using $15 data plan and I can enable/disable it any time I want.

I have this phone. I use tmobile in oklahoma city. Its not edge. I get hsdpa+ and my download speeds reach 12mbps down and about 3mbps up. I love it. Mms works fast and perfect also.

I have AT&T; and no data plan. I called AT&T; and told them to block all medianet access from my number. Wifi still works like a charm

I use this phone with T-Mobile, I have the pay as you go plan with unlimited data, So I couldn't tell you what they will bill you for. But if you already have a phone from T-mobile that you are using, just remove the sim card from the phone and put it in the 5800 and it should work. T-mobile will not bill you for having a Internet ready phone

from my experience when I first got the unit I tried using an AT&T sim card. The unit did not work as it was supposed. I wasn't able to control it remotely from my cell phone. I called the seller and they advised me to use a t-mobile sim card. I then went to t-mobile and activated a prepaid SIM card and then the unit worked as it was supposed. from my understanding AT&T no longer has 2g capability but T-mobile does. Hope this helps. The seller's customer service is also pretty good.

System Settings&gt;More networks&gt;Mobile networks&gt;Access Point Names (APN). Once you get in to the APN menu, hit the menu button and create a new APN. apn: tfdata mmsc: mms-tf.net mms proxy: mms3.tracfone.com mms port: 80 apn type: default, mms, supl If that still doesn't work for you, go to your Google Play Store, and download an app call Offline Sim - it will automatically configure everything for you. Someone asked the same question in a forum about your phone and had success with that. Good luck!

You can't have both networks simultaneously connect to data service. It's either H+ or 2G. Can't be both.

I got the same problem. I live in Philadelphia and always have good 3g connection n my old nexus one.I got the galaxy nexus yesterday and it can only get EDGE connction. The phone is sold by brighton point and fullfilled by amazon. It was meant for Australia.

I don't live in the US Or have a AT&T; SIM But it is a GSM SIM phone and it's not locked3G is 850/900/2100 LTE IS 900/2100/2600Find out what bands your SIM works on.

Yes you can. But as far as data goes, you'll only get 2G EDGE at best. The phone is much better on AT&T; or a MVNO that uses ATT towers such as Net10. Then you'll at least pull in 3G. Hope this helped!!

Have you ever tried this? I heard that ATT will force you to buy a data package because it's a smartphone, and even you have data service you still can't connect to a secured WIFI though you have the password. Is it true? who can tell?

I purchased an unlocked Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition phone from Amazon. This phone is compatible with the ATT network. I am not a heavy cell phone user, so I don't need a regular phone service plan. I have been using a prepaid ATT Gophone (Nokia 2320) as my main cell phone. When I insert the SIM card from the Nokia 2320 into the 5800, I am unable to connect with the ATT network. The SIM works fine for 3G connection in the 2320. Does ATT block the Nokia 5800 from using the prepaid Gophone service, or has someone been successful in using the 5800 as a Gophone? When I try to place a call with the 5800 using the Gophone SIM, I receive a message that it for emergency service only. I purchased an unlocked Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition phone from Amazon.

If you buying an unlocked retail version E63, you shouldn't worry about that. Just remind to set the handset always ask you before connect to a data package plan. You can control and choose the connection point between 3G data plan, GPRS, and WIFI as you wish. I tried that on T mobile and Att, no problem.

Yes, I can use my ATT iphone SIM on GT-S7562L. GT-S7562L added 850 and 1900 MHz into original 2100MHz (of GT-S7652). Before you have to make it work, you have to set APN correctly as this phone is unlock and no setting. APN setting example, refer http://nerdynerdnerdz.com/blog/2011/07/23/att-apn-mms-settings-android/

with c6603 you will not get 3g and not even dream about LTE. im in NW florida and i tried at&t, tmobile and net10. all i got is 2g (edge) after change APN set many times, nothing... probably somewhere in the world yes but not in US. in my experience

Wish I could. I wanted to use ATT because I have a go-phone acct there. they would not allow web access on my account. Said I needed a data account.I'm waiting for a Sim card from AirvoiceWireless.com to arrive, They have some sort of $10 plan To test access. They warned it might or might work.I did not try T-Mobile after readin gother reviesws here. HTH John

I'm using this phone with Straight Talk (on AT&T network) and the phone functions, but I'm not getting an LTE connection (only HSPA). Working to resolve the issue.
