When
you try to connect, make sure that the following conditions are satisfied
▪ First of all check that your device is supported by Smarterping in the list of supported devices;
▪ Check that your SIM
has sufficient credit/balance and that the SIM is enabled and activated for
GPRS.
Test this by putting the SIM into a cell phone and browse some web sites
over GPRS. (Note that some
operators require you to call them to activate the
SIM for GPRS);
▪ Make sure that the
PIN code on the SIM is inactivated;
▪ Check in object list
that the device IMEI is correct;
▪ Check that you are
using the correct APN. Ask your operator what APN to use with your SIM.
Operators
sometimes change an APN;
▪ Check if there is a
username/password needed for the APN;
▪ Wait for the device
to get a satellite fix, this can take some time (and is best achieved outdoors
with clear
sky);
▪ Check that the device
has a network connection (GPRS status is indicated on most GPS devices).
