You're going to laugh when you hear this, but it's a watch phone. It's model # is M600. It's a generic Chinese device that does indeed have GPRS (works best with WAP sites) & I have used it with the GPRS I pick up just fine from AT&T & T-Mobile, however I need lots of manual settings (like what I shown above) entered unlike most modern devices. This watch phone also supports the (very old) GSM Data service, which is a dial-up data service.

I consider this watch phone to be a good device for emergency use, and with data rates on these int'l SIM cards as high as they are (I notice they are often as high as or even higher than roaming!!!), I do not plan to use data very much on this SIM card, but I believe it's nice to have it 'just in case'.

Dear adam917,
I just received a Chinese watch phone (W96,[the computer just turned the digit eight into a smiley face - the phone's name is W nine six eight], and I love everything about it. I just cannot get the WAP and MMS to work. I have tried to enter the information I found on other websites about homepage, username, password etc. - still no success. Here is what I do: I click on "Menu" - "Coonections" - "WAP", then I get several offers. Whenever I try to get to any homepage, I get an error message "Invalid..."
Could you please tell me how you got your watch phone to work with WAP and how to send MMS? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!
