Configure your Cingular WAP settings.
If your Cingular/AT&T Wireless device lost its Internet connectivity, or if the internal browser settings were somehow changed or erased, you can easily reset your device and establish another connection. By knowing the proper settings, you can reconfigure your cell phone to access the Cingular Internet server without the need to contact the customer service department. Each cell phone available through Cingular and AT&T Wireless will have a slightly different combination of menus to navigate, but once you arrive at the Internet connection options screen, the settings are identical.
Instructions
1. Select GPRS. If your device is able to connect to the Internet using additional methods, such as WiFi, choose the option that allows you to access the GPRS settings.
2. Create a new GPRS connection type. Title this new entry anything that suits your needs, or simply call it "Cingular GPRS."
3. Choose the service type. In the "Connects To" or "Connection Type" box, choose the "WAP" option.
4. Enter the access point. In the "Access Point" text box, enter "wap.cingular" in all lowercase letters.
5. Enter the username. In the "Username" text box, enter "WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM" in all capital letters.
6. Enter the password. In the "Password" text box, enter "CINGULAR1" in all capital letters.
7. Set authentication type. From the drop-down box next to "Authentication Type" choose "Secure."
8. Click "Finish" to save your settings. Some devices have additional data fields that may be filled in, such as "IP Address" and "Primary DNS," but these are not usually necessary to access the i\Internet using this method, and those settings should be adjusted automatically by your device when you connect.
