How-To: CallTones on WM without ESN swaps!

[res22fbz]

First I take no credit for this I got this from PPCGEEKS.

To set it up--
Start - Settings - Connections - Connections (again) - Advanced - Select Network - New (The one on top) - Enter a name (I used call tones) - Modem - New - Enter Another name (again I used calltones) - Cellular Line - #777 in the field - Leave username, password, domain blank and then finish. Then go to proxy settings and check both boxes and enter 68.28.31.33.

Now you will see your new connection tap and hold onto it and then click connect. It will ask for username and password but just continue without it. Before hitting connect make sure there isnt another connection or internet explorer is open. After connecting dont close the current window just click on start and open internet explorer and go to vision.sprintpcs.com and in the search type in call tones. From there you can choose and set your calltones.

I purchased a calltone and it worked great!!! Again I got this from PPCGEEKS

hehe using sprints new openwave proxy to gain access to the vision homepage, thats a good way to use an otherwise crap technology (in reference to the openwave proxy)

Pretty good, although it kept telling me due to my account type I was not authorized to do this when I tried to search for a song. Of course I could still scroll through 5 at a time but how annoying is that?

I don't have those menus on my q9, but I really want to use the vision homepage. how do i get it?

[BrettW]

settings > connections > dial up > new is where it is on the ace, i would assume the q9c would be the same unless they locked it down

I have Settings -> Connections - > A Proxy, B VPN, C USB to PC, D WiFi Power settings

^You probably need to need to make a new connection and then put the proxy ip.

I dont see any new connection, but I can make a new proxy...?

[BrettW]

you could try proxy but it probably wont work, it seems moto has limited the q9c in regards to making new connections.

[2k4mach]

interesting, gonna try it since i just swapped back to the 700wx.

[5PR1NTUSER]

I just tried to do this on both my Treo 700wx and Mogul and both did everything online fine but it still doesn't play the tone on incoming calls

Edit: Nevermind wait a couple mins been so long since I have done it. :lol:

Way to go on the find PPC Geeks!

[BrettW]

they dont apply right away sometimes they can take a while to apply plus you do have to enable the calltone after purchasing it.

[5PR1NTUSER]

This should also be posted as a work around for how to access your bill from your phone again.!

[chilidogtampa]

im trying and trying and not getting it, any chance the portal has closed? (as in they caught on?) or more likely a pebkac issue...:frustrate I'll keep trying...

[chilidogtampa]

yah!! got it, I now have "Flo-rida" for my wifes touch...thanks for sharing that!! I personally wouldn't get one but my wife has really been wanting it...:music:

[Jaggrey]

Hmm didn't work for me... it connects fine but then when u go onto IE it disconnects and then connects using the default one.

[ATS_Helper]

Very NIIIIICE. To stop the default from connecting I'd just delete it and then set it back up after I was done. It's too bad I don't use calltones =/

[ahfrederick]

At first I was wondering WHY this would be needed. And it works no problem. But then I tried to access the "vision.sprintpcs.com" website from just the "sprint" default connection and the site comes up but all the links (and DOWNLOADS was not listed) just recycles back to the same page. Wierd. Why would sprint not allow PDA/Smartphone users access to the site and downloads???

[res22fbz]

that's because you have to keep the modem window open. after you click connect just click on start and open up internet explore and go to vision.sprintpcs.com

[chilidogtampa]

hey is there a way/setting to do away with the voice prompt before the music starts?

[MotorPsycho]

now, only if they had some rick astley I could RICK ROLL everyone who calls me.:headbang2

how much does this cost?

That's what I was doing... I didn't minimize anything. It had the list of connections there then once I connected I saw it try to do something it would disconnect then say connecting to PCS Vision or whatever it is.

$2.50, theres some free ones but I think there all sports ones.

any way to disable the voice B4 the music? even I think its kinda goofy, at least goofy-er than having a calltone in the first place..:laughing:

I didnt see the option to but I think Sprint use to offer it but I'm not sure. Unless tech support can disable.
