bt surfing with the ux50 and your t610/t68i (using globe)

a little caveat before i start: the settings i will post here are for for globe. if you have another provider you will have to change the init string in the connection details.

t610 configuration:
  1. navigate to the connectivity menu
  2. select data comm.
  3. select data accounts
  4. select new account
  5. select gprs data
  6. enter a name for your data account, e.g., myGlobe GRPS inet
  7. select save (no need to enter other any other info)
  8. select your newly created data account
  9. note down the cid, eg. cid=4

ux50 configuration:
  1. launch the preferences app and go to connections:


  2. create a new connection with the following settings:

    * you can name it any name you want
    ** the configuration works using either the built-in t68i driver or the t610 drivers that can be downloaded from palmone


  3. click on the details button and enter the following values (you may use a lower connection speed, but why?):

    * make sure to use the cid number you got from the new data account, i.e., if the cid you got was 5, your init string should contain cgdcont=5

  4. when prompted if you would like this to be your default connection for phone applications, click on no

  5. go to the network tab of the preferences app:


  6. create a new network service with the following details:

    * you may specify your own network service name
    ** you may leave the password blank or just enter a space
    *** make sure to select the connection you created earlier
    **** use the cid number as the last number in the phone field, i.e., if your cid number was 5 then the number should be *99***5#


  7. tap on the details button and enter the following details:



follow the steps above and you'll be surfing on the road in no time =)
