How to Setup WAP by Activating GPRS and MMS of Globe Cell Phones

October 15, 2008 · Filed Under Cell Phones/Mobile Phones

As a follow-up to my article on “How to Setup WAP by Enabling GPRS and MMS of Smart Cell Phones”, I am posting here the tested ways to activate GPRS and MMS settings of Globe-powered cell/mobile phones and connect these phones to the internet via WAP. A similar tutorial on how to “Configure Nokia N99i V9+i, Nokia N95 8Gb Clone and Other China Cell Phones to Connect to the Internet” has been written to activate GPRS and MMS of China-made cell phones. In that article, simple steps in connecting to the internet were also pointed out. However, I will still write something about how to configure email settings on those phones.

To setup WAP in Globe-powered mobile phones via text messaging and automatically configure/activate GPRS and MMS, do the following:

Go to Menu -> Services -> WAP -> Settings -> Edit Profile
Select myGlobe WAP, Press Activate Profile and Save
Go to Menu -> Messages -> MMS -> Message Settings -> Server Profile
Select myGlobe MMS, Select Activate Profile and Save
Activate by sending “GO” to 2951 but do not save the response from Globe.

If above procedure fails, manually setup GPRS, MMS and WAP using the following

Setup/Enable GPRS

Go to Menu -> Entertainment -> Services -> Data Account -> GPRS
Select myGlobe WAP
Account Name: “my Globe GPRS”
APN: “www.globe.com.ph”
Select myGlobe MMS
Account Name: “myGlobe MMS”
APN: “mms.globe.com.ph”
Exit and save settings

Setup/Enable MMS

Go to Menu -> PIM -> Messages -> MMS -> Message Settings -> Server Profile
Select myGlobe MMS, Select Edit Profile
Rename Profile: “myGlobe MMS”
Homepage: “’ http://192.40.100.22:10021/mmsc ”
Data Account: “myGlobe MMS”
Connection Type: Select “HTTP”, Press Ok
Proxy Address: “ 192.040.100.020 ”
Proxy Port: Enter “8080”
Select Activate Profile

Setup/Enable WAP

Go to Wap -> Settings -> Edit Profile
Select myGlobe GPRS, Select Edit Profile
Rename Profile: “myGlobe WAP”
Homepage: “http://2g.myglobe.com.ph/main/wap/main.do”
Data Account: :myGlobe GPRS”
Press Options, Ok
Connection Type: Select “HTTP: and Press Ok
Proxy Address: Enter “203.177.042.214”
Proxy Port: Enter “8080”
Select Activate Profile, Press Yes to Activate Profile

Mar,

You’re welcome. Enjoy your China-made N99i. It might have missing features but I really think it’s still a good phone.

Benjamin,

You have to check your phones settings. Look at the timeout settings of your phone. Set it to a larger number.

Jolo,

What is your the model of your mobile phone? The tutorial given above is standard for Globe mobile phones and it has always worked before. Recheck your steps then tell me exactly what went wrong.

Klaih,

That’s the sad thing about the N99i GPRS and MMS settings using Globe sims. Some say the tutorial works, others, like you, say it doesn’t. I suggest you try again.

I have a Samsung Omnia and I just changed my sim from globe to smart and then to globe again. Unfortunately, when I switched to Globe again, I can’t download my emails and connect to the internet via GPRS/3G. But I can still send MMS.

I’ve been in the Globe business centers in Market! Market! and in ShangriLa and they are not capable of helping (geez!).

This maybe my last resort otherwise… I’ll be swithching networks (again) since the other has good support for Omnia.

Thanks,

Val

Please help.
