Nokia 3100 PC connectivity problem ? Plz. Help?

Question

Hi, Im havin Nokia 3100 mobile. I cant able to connect to the internet.
I enquired customer care regarding this,
they told my model doesn't have modem built in.
My question is, Is there any other way to make my mobile connect to the internet, like adding extra hardware or software...?
My friend told me to try with CA-42 data cable. But he is not sure about that.
Will it works?

please help me.

Answer 1

Your phone has GPRS, you should be able to connect to the Internet. However, you have xHTML browser so you can only go to certain links, and they all will be displayed as text only. The CA-42 cable is used for connecting your phone to a PC (Sync Phone book). You can't add extra hardware to the phone to make it connect to the Internet. If you did not buy the phone from your Wireless Provider, but rather got it somewhere else unlocked, you may wanna go here, and send the proper settings to your phone, that should take care of the problem.

Also make sure that you have Internet package on your wireless plan, and make sure that connecting to the Internet is not blocked by your provider, that may be the cause of the problem too (if you purchased the phone through your provider).

Answer 2

Probably some of the system files on your phone might have gone corrupt. To fix this you have to reset your phone to factory settings and try to connect again. You are not going to loose your phone book in doing this so don't worry. Only the factory settings will be restored. If this does not work then you will have to go for a format of phone where all your data on the phone will be lost permanently. Punch *#7780# on the keypad and if you are prompted to insert lock code then write 12345 which is the default lock code for nokia phones. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I think this should help setting up your phone like new.
