Thread: Mobile Broadband - what's happening here?


i had little random experiment yesterday wth ubuntu, using modem connect o2 , vodafone equivalents of 3*** have, i.e. using ubuntu's built in settings of uk mobile broadband networks, , opendns settings both. did connect, , pages read.

i'm wondering happened there, whether connected 3 anyway, despite different apn , password etc, or whether there's flaw ubuntu's network manager. , if did connect three, why important have right apn etc?



*** 3, uk mobile phone/broadband company

hi frankwakeman,
apn needed 'specification'. providers not use have 1 option mobile broadband. others have more 1 profile customers , if choose wrong 1 ... cost you!

ex.: provider has 'low cost' internet browsing 4 euros per month , can used prepaid accounts smart phones. can use these phones 3g modem. if setup 'real internet' instead of 'low cost' first 1-2 minutes browsing cost 25-30 euros (i have paid 'test' in past!).

case possible account accepts 'other' apns or provider accepts apn or default apn stored sim used.

regards,
george
