coalminer Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Last Saturday, I bought an "USB EDGE Modem" at the local night market. Went the day after to the True Shop, bought a telephone card and asked to activate Internet on the card. But after trying several possibilities, I'm still unable to make this modem to work on my computer. The installation CD went without problems. After installing the software, the modem offers as default the number *99***#1 to ring. I have tried this number and several other numbers without luck. The modem seems to dial the number but cannot make a connection. Does anybody know how to activate this modem? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballbreaker Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) If you have an GPRS/EDGE capable phone you might try installing SIM in phone and then try connecting to internet using just phone. You will then know if True has really activated GPRS or problems is with Edge modem or you PC to modem setup.

When I purchased the SIM card at the TRUE shop, they activated the Internet access on MY cell phone (Nokia N70) and showed me that I would be able to access Internet with the SIM Card (took them 1 hour to activate Internet access).

Tried to change the phone number as you discribed, but got the following error message: Sorry it didn't work. When I go the edge service from DTAC I came in with my laptop and had them set it up. May want to go to True and do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
