Default Accessing the Internet with Three (Australia) on Motorola a920

Hi

I understand it is possible to change the settings on the Motorola
A920 to access the internet rather than just the few pages of content
that Three publish.

I assume this is done my setting up a new "Internet Account" on the
phone. As default there is just one internet account set up with the
following settings:
- Services - 3services
- IP - automatic
- Primary DNS - automatic
- Secondary DNS - automatic

However, if you choose to set up a new internet account there are
options for:
- Connection Type (Either GPRS or Dial Up)
- User Name
- Password
- address
- IP Address
- DNS
- Proxy server

I assume that by stating a GPRS connection type it is possible to
connect to the Internet via any ISP? ALthough I am unsure what Address
is required for this type of connection - any ideas - or a sample of
what format this should be?

Thanks,

Peter

Create a new account. Type in 3netaccess as the server name. Save
the settings. You then need to select disconect from the browser.
When you type a URL in, it will ask what account to connect with.
Just select your newly created internet account.
Good Luck

Just a note to say thanks for your help with the Motorola a920
question.

The only problem I'm having is when I disconnect from the Three
network, rather than being prompted to select which service, I'm
getting a could not locate remote server error rather than a menu to
select which service I require. If you have any suggestions on this
I'd be grateful, but in the mean time, thanks for your help.
