Android Dev G1 on Meteor Ireland - Internet Settings
Meteor is the 3rd largest mobile phone provider in Ireland. They have a 3G service. I recently signed up with them so I could get their 3G internet service.
I bought an Android Dev G1 Phone. It's not locked to a certain network, so I can freely use any SIM card I want on it. However since I didn't get the phone from Meteor, I have to configure all the settings myself, including the APN to connect to the internet.
To set it up you need to enter these values. At the home screen, press menu, then 'Settings', then 'Wireless controls' then 'Mobile Networks' then 'Access Point Names'. At this screen press menu, then 'New APN'.
Fill in the following information:
- The name can be anything, I have it set to "meteor"
- APN: "data.mymeteor.ie"
- Username: "my"
- Password: "meteor"
After that you should have 3G/EDGE internet access on your android.
do you have the settings sending and receiving mms?

No, I'm not sure how to do that. I hardly ever send MMSs so it hasn't been a problem for me. I have tried once or twice to send a MMS, and it failed. If you figure it out, let me know :)
