Well I'll start with the cricket stuff since luv2chill wanted me to test things out. I confirmed with cricket and even upgraded my service to have unlimited Internet (WAP?), that I have MMS and all of that. So As I try to send a pix message, ususaly it will die instantly and throw the msg can't be sent error. But this time it takes a while and actually tries. But it fails. So I sent a pix message to the cricket phone and it still did the same thing it normaly does when you dont have a cricket pix messaging phone, which is it gives me a link to a website that has the pix.

So I clicked it and it brought up the cricket WAP window, asking for Username, Password and Domain. I dont know any of this. The cricket cs lady told me that I should be able to connect and then setup my un and pw afterwards. But she must not have realized that I'm on a different kind of phone thats setup to work on cricket.

So, What is the WAP Info I need to input? Also what is the WAP DUN? Cause it tries to dial #777.

Next, when sending a message it keeps sending me a delivery confirmation. Even tho I have it checked off. I am really getting upset with these damn sent confirmation and delivery confirmation messages. I just want it to send and that be the end of it.

We need cricket experts to help figure this out, because all I did was set up the dialup connections according to some posts I saw over at hofo.

Have you never set up a #777 connection on your apache before? Because it states that user name is your 10digitMIN@mycricket.com (I'm not clear on whether the MIN is the same as your phone number or not--hopefully as a cricket user you know that info) and password is cricket

And it was my understanding that in order to browse the web everything (except outgoing MMS) must route through cricket's WAP servers. That is what I set up in the proxy server section. So When you see Cricket WAP it is dialing up that configuration.

MMS is set to send through a different connection I set up, called Cricket MMS. The first time it goes it should also have prompted you for a user name and password--these are the same as the other connection.

You may need to make sure the Cricket WAP connection isn't connected before trying to send MMS.

You might try a hard reset and try everything again--this time filling in the correct user name and password values when you are prompted for them.

Will do, I'll be going back into town here in a few so I'll do that ASAP!

The MIN is your Mobile Identification Number. Its your *real* phone number. Its listed in EPST under NAM Settings.

Wait where? EPST under NAM... dunno where the hell that is...

EPST is your provisioning menu that contains all of your wireless information.
To access EPST dial ##778# then select view, then enter your MSL (most likely 000000, if not use this guide LINK ) then on the drop down menu on the left, select NAM Settings. On that page should be MIN.

nfiniti - It is my understanding you would have had to go into the EPST menus to provision your phone for cricket. Did you not do that yourself? I am going off of what I read at this link:

Is that procedure familiar?

No... Dude all I've done was I left my phone with a cell company in town to flash it over to cricket... then I called cricket and had them change my esn to the new ppc phone and then I did the program.... I've never done anything else. Except rom updates.

Ah, I wasn't aware there were places that would do this for you.

Well if you follow the instructions in that link you should be able to find out what it says for MIN. That's what you need.

No I'm talking about a normal flash! Common your like the smartest guy I know here... I had a Verizon RAZR and a Alltel RAZR and we flashed it to the cricket network... by a company called Cellular n More. Where I bought my PPC6700 when they went out of buisness.

I'm guessing my phone needs to be in the calling area to do the ##778# thing?

Well I guess I'm not going into town... damn! lol I hate having a busted car. I'll probably get to try this stuff tomorrow! I'll let you know.
