About one year and half ago, I blogged how you can configure an i-mate SP3i to enable GPRS and MMS for Proximus, a Belgian mobile phone operator. Recently I got a Qtek 8310 and apparently the configuration is a bit different on this phone. That's why I'm updating the configuration steps in the blog post.

1. Set up data connections
Click "Start"; "Settings"; "6 Connections".
Click "3" for "Dial-Up"
Open the menu and choose "Add"
Apply the following settings:
  Description: Proximus WAP Data
  Connects to: WAP Network
  Phone number: +32477151927
  User name: wap
  Password: wap
  Domain:
Click "Done" to save this dial-up connection. Click "Done" once again to go to the overview of different connections.
Click "4" for "GPRS".
Open the menu and choose "Add"
Apply the following settings:
  Description: Proximus Internet
  Connects to: The Internet
  Access Point: internet.proximus.be
  User name:
  Password:
  Primary DNS: 195.238.2.21
  Secondary DNS: 195.238.2.22
  IP address:
Click "Done" to save this GPRS connection.
Open the menu and choose "Add" again
Apply the following settings:
  Description: Proximus MMS
  Connects to: WAP Network
  Access Point: event.proximus.be
  User name: mms
  Password: mms
  Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
  Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
  IP address:
Click "Done" to save this GPRS connection.
Open the menu and choose "Add" for the third time
Apply the following settings:
  Description: Proximus WAP GPRS
  Connects to: Secure WAP Network
  Access Point: wap.proximus.be
  User name: wap
  Password: wap
  Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
  Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
  IP address: 10.253.7.3
Click "Done" to save this GPRS connection.
Click "Done" to quit the list of GPRS connections.
Go to the home page.

2. Configure MMS
Click "Start"; "Messaging".
Click "4" for "MMS".
Open the menu and click "8" for "Options".
Click "4" for "Account Options" and choose "2" for "MMS".
Open the menu and click "1" for "MMSC Settings".
Edit the existing configuration (probably named "Sample Server") and apply the following settings:
  Name: Proximus
  MMSC URL: http://mmsc.proximus.be/mms
  WAP Gateway: 10.55.14.75
  Port 9201
  Connect Via: "WAP Network"
  Max. Sending Size: 100K
  WAP Version: WAP 1.2
Click "Done" and go back to the home page.

It is necessary that GPRS and MMS are activated for your Proximus account. If you don't know how to activate these, please call the Proximus help desk from your mobile phone on the number 1212 (or +32 (475) 151212).

I don't know if all these settings are absolutely necessary, but I do know that once I set up my Qtek 8310 like this sending and receiving MMS'es worked correctly... If you only want to have GPRS connectivity, you only have to configure "Proximus Internet".

Please remember that I'm not employed by Proximus and don't have access to all their information. The information I share in this post was gathered from different sites on the internet and might or might not be correct.
