Have you configured the PDP context, username and password yet?

For example, at&t where i am at required the following configuration:

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","WAP.CINGULAR","0.0.0.0",1,1
AT#USERID="WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM"
AT#PASSW="CINGULAR1"

replace WAP.CINGULAR with your providers APN and the username and password with the one they provided you.

If you already did this or still are having problems, try doing an AT+CREG? and posting the results. You have plenty of signal into the tower, so im not really worried about that.

Hi!I have the same problem with my GM862-GPS with GPRS attach.GSM part wroks fine.I can send SMS, placing calls, but i can't get it to connect to GPRS network. I've setup it up like mentioned above and in "EASY_GPRS Guide" and still getting the same ERROR.

Have you managed to fix the problem?

+CREG: 2,1,"08AF","D143"

You are not registered. this is all in the documentation (software guide) but basically:

0,n - not registered, not looking
1,n - registered
2,n - not registered, but looking
3,n - registration denied
4,n - unknown state
5,n - registered, but roaming

If you are on your home carrier with a valid account, you will see something like this on creg:

state 2
(a few seconds, status LED will flash on and off once a second)
state 1
(led flashes every 5 seconds or so)

If you are stuck in 2 or see 3, either you cannot roam onto any available carrier, or your sim isnt activated or the carrier is denying the imei you are trying to register with. There are a couple of prepaid carriers here in the US that like to lock IMEI's of their special prepaid phones to SIMs. Although, i doubt that would be the case in Malaysia...

Your carrier may also want you to be in a different band? make sure you have #BND selected to the proper range of bands.

Are you using maxis prepaid or contract? The GPRS settings you listed above are for their prepaid network. If its postpaid, you should probably use this:

Operator: - Maxis
GPRS APN: - internet.gprs.maxis
Username: - guest
Password: - guest
DNS: - 202.75.129.101, 10.216.4.21

I tried this:

AT+CREG=1
OK

AT+CREG?
+CREG: 1,1

is it registered???The LED blinks very 5s.Is everything goes right?

I'm using prepaid here.According to the ref, I type :

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","net","0.0.0.0",1,1
OK

AT+USERID="maxis"
OK

AT#PASSW="net"
OK

AT#GPRS=1
ERROR

ERROR again.....why???
I have no idea on what is the band is...by default it was set to 0...
Is it because of the activation of the GPRS caused this?Because in Malaysia in order you wish to have the GPRS services you have to activate it.But in order to activate there is certain setting have to install to the phone(for handphone case).But since this is not a phone, what should i do??

[maokh]

You might want to turn on more debugging, AT+CMEE=2 but i suspect we wont learn much more.

my above data was backwards, its n,1 n,2 etc. 1 means its registered.

i would try to perform the following:

ATD<phone number>;

see if it says OK, and the destination phone rings. When it does, type ATH0 to disconnect the call to avoid charges.

AT+CMEE=2 will give you text based error messages.

In the case of activation, perhaps you should just activate it on a real handset to satisfy whatever requirement, and then move it to the telit.

yeah!!!finally i get it correct^^

AT#GPRS=1
+IP:10.209.97.155
OK

BUT....there is another problem occur.When i type ATD*99***1#, the Rstrem hang!!WHy??Is not only this command,others command like AT#SKTD=0,80,"www.telit.com",255,80 it will hang as well....How to solve this??Thanks

Hi!Found solution to my problem!I had to activate my GPRS on SIM because it wasn't activated by default. Now it works GPRS connection like mentioned above.

Tnx everybody!

Bye
