Help with X50v/Nokia N73 and GPRS internet connection to Optus Australia

[Riker]

To any Aussies out there...

I have GPRS set up correctly on my Nokia N73, and am also able to browse files etc via bluetooth between my X50v and my N73.

However, I have been unsuccessful in using the N73 to browse the internet via a bluetooth connection on my X50v (WM2003SE) using GPRS with Optus Australia.

Can anyone please tell me the X50v dial up connection settings for my carrier Optus Australia ??
I have searched this site, and a reference was made for Optus using a Sony Ericsson a while ago, but this doesn't work now.

Thanks

Setup a new connection
set the modem to bluetooth
select the partnership with your phone, make sure dialup networking is checked
the number to enter is: *99#
Username, password, domain are blank
tap advanced button and enter extra dial string command as follows: +cgdcont=1,"ip","internet"

You should be all setup to go. Just make an internet connection and you should connect.

Many thanks !!

The above worked, and am now able to connect on the go. Only drawback is that Optus GPRS data plans are rather exorbitant.
