This tutorial will guide you through the process of obtaining free WAP on your phone if you have a PC and an always-on internet connection.
IMPORTANT: You will still be charged for airtime minutes as you would during a normal call. (With the exception of certain data and mobile web plans.)
Note: I'm sure this tutorial will work on other phones, but since I have the V3C I wrote it for this phone.
Requirements:
1. The phone.
2. A PC
3. Microsoft Windows
4. A broadband connection
Part 1: Creating a proxy for your phone.
1. Go to
http://www.hottproxy.org/downloads.html and download the latest
Win32 compiled executable zip.
2.
Extract the files in the zip file to
C:\Program Files\HoTTProxy (or wherever if you don't like them there).
3. In Explorer, navigate to
C:\Program Files\HoTTProxy and run
HoTTProxyAdmin.exe
4. Once the administration server has started, open your
web browser and navigate to
http://localhost:8085/ (or the address listed in the console window if it is different).
5. In the HoTTProxy Administration page, select
Configuration.
6. Set your default homepage to the page you wish to access with your phone when you open OpenWave on your V3c
7. The port number is important here, in most cases you may just want to
leave it as 9201, but be sure that this port is opened on your router and firewall if you have them or you won't be able to access the proxy server.
8. Select
Save Configuration,
Main Menu and then
Create User.
9. Enter your
username and
password that your phone will use to access your phone.
(Note: If you're worried about the password being short enough to type, it shouldn't matter because you need only enter it once so you can make the password as strong as needed.)
10. Leave homepage blank unless you want it to be different based on what phone you are using to access the proxy. All other fields are optional.
11. You can now
close the Administration page and the HoTTProxy_Admin.exe (it will ask if you want to
End Now).
12.
Run HoTTProxy.exe and now you should have a proxy server!
Part 2: Setting up Free WAP on the Phone
1. Open your phone and type
#073887* quickly (and correctly).
2. At the security code prompt, enter
000000.
3. With Web Sessions highlighted, press the
right soft key to Select.
4. Select
[New Entry] and
enter a name for the entry, like Free WAP.
5. Enter your username and password in the
User ID: and
Password: fields.
6. In your
PC's web browser go to
http://www.whatismyip.com/ and enter the ip that appears into the phone under
Gateway IP 1.
7. Change the port numbers if you selected something other than 9201.
8. Select
Done on the right soft key.
9. Select
Back on the left soft key.
10. Hit
Select on the right soft key.
11. Highlight your Free WAP entry and select
Options on the right soft then,
Set Default.
12. Hit the
End Call button and then hit
up on the navigation rocker and it should open up OpenWave to your homepage!
Part 3: Configuring HoTTProxy as a Pseudo-Service (Optional)
(This is to allow HoTTProxy to run whenever you start your computer.)
1. Click
Start,
Settings,
Control Panel,
Scheduled Tasks,
Add Scheduled Task
2. Click
Next to begin the Wizard
3. Instead of choosing a program from the list, click
Browse
4. Browse to
C:\Program Files\HoTTProxy (or wherever you put it) and choose
HoTTProxy.exe
5. The next window asks you to type a name for the task. Enter HoTTProxy Below the box for the name are some choices for when to perform the task. Choose
"When my computer starts".
6. The next window prompts for the user name and password to run as. For the user name, enter
"NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" (without the quotes). Leave the password boxes blank.
7. The next window tells you you've successfully created the task and gives you a checkbox option to
"Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish". Check that box and click Finish.
8. In the advanced properties, go to the
Settings tab and uncheck the
"Stop this task if it runs for xx hours" box.
9. Click
OK to close the window.
You're all done! If you restart your computer HoTTProxy will run as long as your PC is on and you should have all the free WAP you want!
