Bouygues Data Settings Help
 

I'm in Paris, just bought a SIM card. Phone works great. But my data and email are not working. On my Treo, when I try to retrieve email on Chatter, it says its connecting to GPRS, signing on, established... and then just disconnects.

The sales lady was very nice but did not speak English very well (not her fault), so I'm not sure if I was supposed to send an SMS to activate WAP or something, or perhaps my network settings are wrong. They are currently:

Service: Bouygues GPRS
no user name
password unassigned
APN: ebouygtel.com

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I'm sorry Matt i don't have an answer to your question rather I have one myself.

I have no idea how much I pay for calls and SMS as well as checking my balance on the bouygues network.

I'd be glad if u can give me a run down of voice tariffs and another way i can check my balance other than calling 630

Thanks

Well ow11, we're in the same boat unfortunately. Not knowing the language (and not finding any salespeople who admitted to speaking English) I let a friend select my SIM card and just bought it, since I was there for only two weeks. But you can see the options on SIM cards here (if you can understand French or run it through babelfish): http://www.carte.bouyguestelecom.fr/...ueformules.htm

I never got SMS or data to work, so I'm not sure if there is a way to check your balances other than calling them.

Good luck.
