I have a device which’ll support GPRS in Indian subcontinent. In Wataniya network, I am using one SIM card of Wataniya and using the device to connect internet using GPRS. I am getting PPP IP from GPRS provider. However, whenever I am trying to connect any site using the device, it is failing. From log it seems to me there is an authentication failure. I am using APN as action.wataniya.com without any password and username. Does Wataniya network use any ineternal authentication for GPRS connection?

I have the wataniya sim which allows Internet service using the USB connector for the Internet or just the sim for my iPhone..I origionally connected through the USB to my computer but have recently taken the sim card out of the USB and placed it into my iPhone and configured my iphone for Internet use on the go using the instructions from wataniyas’ website. Worked fine. The problem is now when I try to put the sim back into the USB and connect to the internet through my laptop again it now will not allow me to connect.. Please give me a step by step tutorial on how to interchange/ configure the connection to the internet w wataniya sim between a laptop(using the USB connector) and iPhone for wataniya as I will be doing so on a regular basis between home and work..your prompt assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Regards

Hello

I’m visiting my bro here in Kuwait. I live in Alberta, Canada. I’ll be in Kuwait for 2 more weeks. Since i got here 2 weeks ago i been using wnet Globesurfer II. This connection is really bad.. as you mentioned in your post web pages take forever to open and honestly the customer service is even worse. I have to restart the modem 2 to 3 times a day, download speeds can reach up to 170kb sometimes and other times it’s slow as hell. My bro tells me he called wataniya a few times to ask why the internet is so slow and they always told him “upgrading”. They been upgrading for 2 years now their internet should be god damn amazing, but sadly it’s not.. I tried to call wataniya myself hoping to find a solution to the horrible connection speeds. I called and talked to some guy and he didn’t even ask me what the problem was. He said i’ll put in a request for tech support to call you. I waited 6 hours and they finally called back. The guy that called me didn’t have a clue about anything or what’s goin on even tho i explained the problem to the person i talked to. So i told him the internet was extremely slow and download speeds were barely reaching 20kb for the last 2 days. Of course his answer was “upgrading…”. This is really sad, they tell people they’re upgrading because it’s the easiest way to get rid of the customer. What kind of customer service is this.. I guess i got used to living in Canada since i been there for last 8 years. I only had to call my ISP in Canada twice in last 5 years. They usually serve the problem on the phone and if it can’t be solved on the phone they send a technician to your house and they don’t charge you any money for doing so. If anything they apologize for the inconvience and sometimes offer you a month or 2 for free for your troubles. My internet connection there is a DSL i have a download speed of 2MB and upload around 70+kb and i only pay about 30$ canadian dollars. So i pay alot less money and get a way better internet connection and great customer service. How does Wataniya stay in business with such horrible customer service and really bad internet connection most of the time…

I’m not sure you can do anything about it.. it’s just really upsetting and i had to vent to someone! Since i couldn’t even talk to people at Wataniya.. I really hope that someone that works at wataniya reads this.

Hi Eric, i agree with u wataniya is just all talk no action. I’m still suffering with the ever slowing speed :((((
About zein i’v been with them 4 about18 years or so their network coverrage is great, the way their costumer service is excellent and my friends hav their wireless internet connection they never encounter the kind of problems i hav.
Good 4 me i hav the prepaid service hence i’m not obliged to continue with wataniya, zein here i come
