Wind Italy Internet No Stop

I just noticed this on Wind's website. It seems to say 1 gb data for 9 euro a month. Good deal if it's true.

Yes is true is 1Gb for 9 euro a month

Wind - Privati - Internet No Stop

Hey,

After sending the sms to activate Internet No Stop, what reply would you receive so you know it's ready?

Also, If I purchase the pre-paid card for 10 euro (with 5 euro credit) - can I purchase credit at the same time so I have at least 9euro to activate Internet No Stop.

I read somewhere that the cards and credit are sold at different places... but I just wanted to check.

You know the phone number at once, it's written on the envelope containing the sim-card.
Of course you can refill the card at any Wind store, Tabacchi, Lotto, and so on...

Thanks BLC and Effendi. :)

So activating is just popping the sim in (and entering the password)?

Also, I just found this bit of info on the web, needing to activate GPRS before you can activate the data plan. I had no idea about it.. anyway should I be doing this first? Just want to confirm.

* Send a SMS to short code 4033 that contains the following text: gprs si

* (Note: In case the phone does not set the SMS Service Center Number correctly by copying it from the SIM card, use the following SMSC number: +393205858500)

* Wait until GPRS is activated for the sim card. This could take a couple of hours. You will see once GPRS is activated as the mobile does a GPRS attach when powered on.

* After GPRS is activated, send the following text in a free SMS to short code 4033:

Hey BLC, thanks again. :)

I found the page on the website, but when I opened Translate from Google, the "Configure Your Phone" link is deactivated.

The original page is fine, though I can't read Italian! Wind - Privati - Configurazione Telefonini
The two fields i filled as follows: Marca: Iphone Modello: 3g

But then there's no submit button. And enter on the keyboard doesn't work. Perhaps it's firefox and I should try IE.

Actually, I got it working. I didn't get the drop downs before. Now to see if I can translate this!

Okay, so now i am having a bit of trouble translating the page.

I am wondering if anyone might be able to help me understand what configurations I will need to use for the Apple Iphone 3g to work with Wind.

1. I understand I need to set the APN to internet.wind (no username / password).

2. I am unsure if I need to follow these instructions for email? I want to access my Yahoo mail. Will I have to do anything special for that?

3. I do not believe I need MMS or Modem.

4. On the MMS page there is this notice "Nota: le impostazioni riportate sono valide solo per i terminali con aggiornamento
firmware 3.0" I am unsure if that means it's good or bad to have firmwire 3.0.
Would there be any issues using the latest Software Update 3.1 on my Iphone 3g?

5. I could not find much more information about configuring the Iphone3g. There wasn't anything about sending the text 'gprs si' / or activating GPRS as mentioned in above post. So does that mean I don't need to worry about it?

I know, I have so many questions. If anyone could clear any up, that would be so so so helpful!

Or, I'd appreciate a point towards any information in English that explains everything I need to do to set up the Iphone 3g properly.

Thanks :)
