Connection Parameters for 3G Networks
Here are some parameters to help make a dial-up connection. Remember that the strings in our screenshots are all for UK operators. Your connection will not work unless you use the correct parameters for your operator, in your country. Connection will fail if there is a typo in the data you have entered, often with error codes 619 - if this happens to you check very carefully the information you have typed is what you think you have typed.
Settings
These settings are correct to the best of our knowledge. However operators may change their settings, and sometimes more than one set of parameters will work. If in doubt, we recommend that you contact your operator for advice. Your local Elan stockist will be able to help further, and you can often find more information by searching on Google as there are several websites that list them, including this one and this one which list GPRS settings.
