C905 WiFi

[Anonymous]

Can anyone help??

i've got a WiFi bolt-on, the handset connects to the WiFi at home and in the store, the green WiFi symbol shows on the handset - but everytime i try to connect to the internet it fails!! it says contact your operator for support!!

customers services suggested i contact ericsson, which i hav'nt done yet.

i can connect to the internet on GSM etc and it is quite fast, is there any benefit to having WiFi on the C905??

can anyone tell me how to get the WiFi connection on my handset internet?

thanks.

Is it the iPhone web & wifi bolt-on? If so, please repost your question on the iPhone Forum @ viewforum.php?f=3 and they will be able to help you.

No, its a sony handset, that has WiFi, i took the bolt-on for WiFi with the customer service person knowing i had a sony C905, they insist it should work!!

although my phone acknowledges the WiFi, i cant get the internet to work on it, can you advise??

Sorry but you have been mis-informed. The web & wifi bolt-on is only for the iPhone and wont work with any other phone. Ring Customer Services and ask them for a refund for the bolt-on.

Smudge, there is a wifi bolt-on that is available for "normal" phones so don't worry, you can have it.

If customer services aren't that helpful then ask to be put through to data services to see if they can help.

You could always nip to an o2 shop and see if they have a wifi demo phone to try your simcard in to see if it could be the handset or sim being faulty.

Hope you get it sorted x

internet on wifi seems to be switched off or disabled in the c905 handset. Oddly it works fine when you use the 3g network...
There is a way around it though. If you connect to wifi, then get a text message sent to your phone with a url in the message such as http://www.google.co.uk then if you open the message, and use the link, the webpage will open and you can use internet using the wifi. Looks like its either a bug, or a forced bug to make you use the 3g network.

The web bolt-on (details @ http://www.o2.co.uk/mobilestariffs/tari ... 2webbolton) is just for the web and not wifi.

I thought we were talking about Pay & Go, in which case there isnt a wifi bolt-on. If you are on Pay Monthly, then yes there is a wifi bolt-on.
