Can you tell mehow you got the internet working
By Catina , 07/07/08 1:02 PM (CommentID #767800)
Hi, I just bought this phone (CECT P168)for my husband, and he apparently is having some of the same issues as are being talked about. Anyway, I did some research on the internet, and you can get all your answers by going to www.yzcompany.com/ebay/p168-FAQ.htm It has different links you can click on depending on which phone service you are using. (ex.AT&T, T-mobile, etc..)

I just got my phone today so I am sure I will have many questions to come but my first is that I connected it to the usb on my computer and my computer does not recognize it. I went to my computer, device manager, nothing. Tried all 8 of my usbs! It seems to be charging though...it shuts off then lights up black saying "bluetooth" then does the same thing over and over every 20 seconds or so. Does this mean it is charging??

Can you share with me how I get the A88 to be used as a modem on my PC? GPRS works fine on the phone itself but i need to know how to use it as a modem on my PC. Thanks
By JP , 28/05/08 7:28 AM (CommentID #701870)
Follow everything to the letter.
To setup for ATT is as follows
MEdia Net (ME & N in caps
WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password is CINGULAR1 (CAPS)
Data Account MEdia Net
APN wap.cingular.com
User name WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
PW CINGULAR1
Auth Type set to Normal
and hit activate account
Connection Type HTTP
I have tried these and have yet to get it to work evidently I am missing something but I will keep at it until i can get it to work. Plus shake and tilt does not work yet on the A88. At least I have not gotten it to work. I got my pictures to slide by touching the screen.

By Noman , 25/05/08 11:04 AM (CommentID #696442)
Well first: AT&T GPRS direction is clearly included in one of the post bellow, so people please refer to that post and stop asking about it, one tweak I may add try port 8080 in the proxy setting if port 80 is not working.
Second: new area is there any update for the BOIS software (OS) for this phone to enhance the phone for the browser, the look and feel? If any one has any idea please share it.

By reneelynnhart , 23/05/08 6:58 AM (CommentID #692204)
you have to contact the phone company you have service with & they'll program it with you over the phone. It took us about 2 hours to do this but it is working amazingly now I have absulutly no complaints

THE DEFALT PINE FOR THE CECT P168 IS 1122
By TM , 15/05/08 7:07 AM (CommentID #678663)
I received my new CECT P168+ last week and it worked great until two days ago when I got a low battery warning. I switched the battery to one I had just charged and now when I press the on/off button, I get the Bluetooth screen and then the screen goes black and all of the buttons remain lit until I disconnect the battery.
I was given a suggestion of charging the batteries for 12 hours straight. I did this and still the problem remains. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.

i just got the cect p168 yesterday and i had the same problem and i resolved so if you want it fixed so you can do picture messageing and to be able access t-zones then dial 611 and get the alternate number and call them on a seperate phone ad tell the customer support that you just got the cect p16 and that you need the setup for WAP and picture messaging and they will talk you through what needs to be done takes about 30 minutes.

Hey I just bought the CECT and I cant get online. Everytime I try to do it, It says GRPS Not Subscribed. How do I get online?
