Step by step instructions to get Meteor ISP & MMS on Window Mobile 6

If you're like me and have a windows mobile pocket pc and want to occasionally use meteor's edge network for email or surfing the network when there isn't a nearby free wireless network then you might find the following useful.
Meteor charge ~€5 per MB on prepaid which is ok for light internet surfing and email.
The first thing you need to do is phone meteor and ask to be put through to technical support, not customer care, and ask to have your "account provisioned on the HLR for ISP". This is not enabled by default and involves them changing something at there end to allow your meteor account connect to the internet.


ISP settings:
Then on your windows mobile pda you need to setup a virtual modem and
verify the default network for data is set correctly:
1. Click "Start", "Settings", "Connections" tab, "Connections".
2. Click the "Advanced" tab.
3. Click on the "Select Networks" button.
4. Click "New..." under the title "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using"
5. In the "Enter a name for these settings" textbox type
Meteor ISP Data Connection
6. Click the "Modem" tab.
7. Click the "New..." button.
8. In the "Enter a name for the connection" textbox type the following as the connection name:

15. Click "Finish".
16. Click "ok".
17. In the "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using" dropdown list,
verify "Meteor ISP Data Connection" is selected.
18. Click "ok".
19. Click "ok" again.
You now have a virtual modem setup. Pocket IE should work now without any further settings.

Meteor seem to offer WAP 1.2 and WAP 2.0 support. I'm not sure which is better but I assume WAP 2.0 is an improvement.

17. In the "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using" dropdown list,

Now open your MMS application
1. "Start", "Programs", "Messaging", "Menu", "MMS Options..."
2. Click on the "Servers" tab.
3. Click the "New" button.
4. Type the following in the "Server name" textbox:

7. Type the following in the "Server address" textbox:
http://mms.mymeteor.ie
8. Select the following in the "Connect via" dropdown box:
9. Select "300K" as the send limit, though the person you are sending the mms to should have at least 300KB free to receive a 300KB message.
If you're unable to send messages using 300K try using 100K instead.
10. Select "WAP 1.2" as the WAP version.
11. Select the new Server you just created using the keypad to highlight
it, and click on "Set as Default".
12. Click ok.
MMS should now work. You can use WAP 2.0 if you use port number 8799 in step 6 and select "WAP 2.0" in step 10.
