This post describes what I’ve done to let my mobile phone connect to the Internet using PPP over GPRS on GNU/Linux.
This tim_gprs_bt is a Bash script that sets up the serial cable over Bluetooth and starts pppd.
This tim file is the sequence of AT commands sent to the GPRS modem.
On the mobile (I use a Sony-Ericsson K700i K800i) I set up the following GPRS Account.
External ID: 3
APN: ibox.tim.it
Username: 335XXXXXXX
Password: XXXXXX
Password request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address: ...
DNS address: ...
Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compr.: Off
Update (2007-03-10) everything works with my new K800i (I’ve just changed 3 with 4 as External ID on the account and on the tim file).
