I thought so too.. so I bought a new SIM for myself and inserted into her phone. They first time i used it.. worked perfect. So I loaned it too her for a few days and the same thing happened.

I still think it is a possibility. I'm thinking of getting a new SIM and doing a factory reset. Let it read the new SIM and configure the phone while I am in Tijuana and getting TelCel coverage. Maybe it will auto set the APN's and everything correctly.

IT is very very odd.. and can not figure it out.

But that is my next step.

Before I do that.. reccomended reading for a complete backup of her SIM info? How can I back up her call history? Emails, Texts? She should be auto synced to gmail for contacts. But she uses a lot of stored numbers.

I should just have her save them as contacts prior to and than go from there.

She is very frustrated at this point.. and so am I. But no way I am giving in to the pricks at TelCel and spending $6850 MXP on a an Android running 1.6 that isn;t worth a $100 USD.

Gracias!

[Networking] Rayan:
Did you purchased this phone from Telcel? If so, then it should be able to connect full speed, but first consider your location, I'm sure not all locations are 3G 100%, also if you are using a very old SIM card then consider upgrading that to the latest version just in case.

Just some thoughts to think about...

Hola amigos :) well I'm taking a trip to mexico this summer to visit family in mexico city and surrounding areas.

Hey Guys,

I am right now sitting in an Hotel in Mexico City. I bought a telcel SimCard yesterday and asked the telcel-guy to activate the 7day-1GB-Internet-Pack. I also registered to "my telcel" and had a look at my activated services: Everything is looking good. But here comes the problem:

I use an unlocked European HTC HD2 (flashed with ICS 4.04), which definetely supports 850MHz and 1900MHz for GSM and 3.5G, but I always only get EDGE. I also went to that test-menu and switched to "WCDMA only", but after some secs the phone set "GSM/CDMA auto PRL" automatically.

Does anyone know whats wrong here?
[Networking] luftrofl:
Are you *sure* it supports 850MHz and 1900MHz for 3g? It should definitely support EDGE on those frequency bands but not all phones have 3G on those bands. As you have a European model, you probably have 900MHz and 2100MHz.

I got my info from here:

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_hd2-2957.php

Sadly, I think you're out of luck for 3G. :(

que onda espero me puedan ayudar tengo un o2 mini s ya he probado varios radio rom como 2.19 y 2.71 pero con telcel es lo mismo a veces agarra y a veces no sera algo de la configuracion? con movistar no ytengo tantas llamadas perdidas pero no tiene buena recepcion alguien a tratado con iusacell? saludos.

pues yo te recomiendo la radio 2.19, yo tengo una prophet la cual es muy similar a la wizard y esa radio es la que mejor funciona con WM6.

a un amigo que tiene una wizard G4 le instale la rom tauhro http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=332663, que esta en español es WM6, y funciona muy bien, sin cuelges ni nada.

for me, radio 2.19 is the best for telcel if you use WM6, try the taurho ESN rom, it works fine, no crashes , i tried it in a friends wizard G4 and everything it's ok

see'a

for WM5 the best radio is the 2.47

Telcel Configuration

Hola paisanos!

For those who are still having problems connecting to the new Telcel 3G broadband service on your Windows Mobile devices, you can check the configuration here (spanish)

NOTE: I'll post the info here since the linked site has been having some technical difficulties.

Para los que aún tienen dificultades configurando sus Windows Mobile para usarlos con la nueva red 3G de Telcel, aqui tienen la configuración.

*****************************************************

Hola amigos,

Navegando por algunos otros sitios me di cuenta que hay muchas personas que tienen dudas de como conectar sus Windows Mobile Professional a la red de banda ancha de Telcel (3G) y por eso decidí publicar aquí los ajustes necesarios:

Muchas personas no saben que para que funcione 3G en WM Professional se debe hacer uso de la conexión Telcel GPRS, es decir, si no lo tienes configurado para conectarte por GPRS no funcionará. Si no la tienes tendrás que crear una conexion por modem como sigue:

Ve a Start/Settings/Connections

1. Crea una conexión a internet llamada "Telcel GPRS" con los siguientes datos (esto en la primer opcion donde dice "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using"):

- Selecciona el módem llamado "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)

- Access point name: internet.itelcel.com

- Username: webgprs

- Password: webgprs2002

- En Proxy Settings asegurate de palomear "This network connects to the Internet"

2. Selecciona el ícono de "Phone" que esta en Start/Settings/Personal y selecciona la pestaña llamada "Band" y cambia donde dice "Select your Network Type" a WCDMA y luego donde dice "Select your GSM/UMTS band" a GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

Puedes dejarlo en Automático tambien, pero ën mi caso con la HTC Trinity (P3600) solo se amarra a la red EDGE si lo dejo en automático.

Eso es todo, la siguiente vez que te conectes a internet, se levantará el modem de Telcel GPRS y se conectará a HSDPA si en tu zona hay la cobertura (el ícono de conexion deberá cambiar a una H), de lo cotntrario se conectará en Edge (ícono con una E).

Si tienen dudas de Windows Mobile Professional y Telcel 3G no dejen de comentarlo aquí, para dudas generales de Telcel 3G por favor usen el otro foro que esta en General.

NOTA: Estos ajustes deberán funcionar también para Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone Edition)

Saludos,

Rayan

[Networking] Rayan:
Correct, he will not be able to use 3G on the iPhone, but he will be able to use Telcel's EDGE service without any problems.

You just need to provide the following settings to the iPhone:

- Access point name: internet.itelcel.com

- Username: webgprs

- Password: webgprs2002

Let me know if you need further assistance.
[Networking] Isaygarcia:
but note*

you could prefer to have an unlimited data plan. because the iphone connects automatically to the internet via EDGE/WiFi.. theres no way to turn off that.. so i reccommend 2 things.:

1. Unlimited data plan ($680.00 mas el plan de voz)

2. delete the last letter of the internet.itelcel.com (internet.itelcel.co) so it wont connect and your credit will remain in ;).

3g not working

Hello I have a O2 xda exec with prepaid plan with telcel, I tested my chip with a friends phone in Mexico city and worked fine in 3G but for some reason my phone does not detect the 3G signal only GPRS, anybody knows if there is some kind of configuration that I have to change or some program that I have to run to make 3G available?

Gracias
[Networking] Rayan:
@Isaygarcia

You are right on the iPhone, but wrong on the unlimited data plan price when tied to a voice plan. It's actually cheaper when you tie it to a voice plan, It comes down to $553.82 pesos (plus your voice plan).

In my case I was paying at least $100 pesos per month for a prepaid Amigo SIM, plus the $680 for the unlimited data plan, so that sums up $780 pesos per month.

But now I added a voice plan to my current data plan and it all comes down to $742.82 so I'm saving and at the same time I got a better deal with minutes, long distance, frequent dialed numbers (free calls), etc...

@javo_1

Well, you don't have to do anything to the phone in order to see the 3G symbol on the top bar, it's automatic. Perhaps you live on an area that hasn't been upgraded yet?

P.D.- Si desean mayor información en español visiten poderpda.com

Buena suerte!

Telcel Gprs

Hi there, I'm going to visit Mexico in the summer (from the UK) and was wondering whether I could buy prepaid Telcel sim card with gprs or 3g enabled for use in a laptop modem (they call it "Dongle"). I've already found some of the necessary settings on this thread (APN, username and password) but my device also needs an access number (which is usually something starting *99...) Any ideas? Also... how can I can hold of a prepaid Sim and what costs? I'll be in Mexico for around 6 weeks.

But still that's not gonna get you 3G Data... The prepaid (or pay-as-you-go) plan is called "Amigo" and even though you can connect to the web, it will cost you a lot and will be slow as hell... With Amigo you can only have CSD or HCSD at the most. GPRS (3G/UMTS/HSDPA) is only available for post-paid customers.

Well... Telcel saving my life because of 3G is a huge overstatement don't you think? :eek: :D

I just confirmed with Telcel (*264) and they clearly stated that they don't offer broadband service on Amigo (Prepaid).

They do have 3G but that doesn't mean that you will be able to surf the web at broadband speeds (or so they say), 3G it's available to all plans including prepaid in order to offer video calls to everyone (that have a 3G device of course).

Telcel Prepaid service has the old and slow CSD and HSCSD and of course GPRS (check www.Telcel.com for current rates).

Are you sure you are surfing at UMTS/HSDPA speeds?

I remember some folks at www.Poderpda.com mentioning that they could in fact use Amigo on GPRS/3G for sometime (while Telcel was readying the 3G service), but not anymore. Maybe there are still some areas open?

Who knows, But at least your life is safe now that you have 3G right? (joke) :D:cool:
