I find myself in Switzerland for a couple of weeks, so I needed to repeat using Swisscom. Through roaming I could just connect, but then there would be a very high data cost.
So I got a Swisscom sim and put that in my N73. The first thing that happened was that I got about 15 SMS messages telling me how to set up my phone for Swisscom. Well that was not required. So I hunted around to see what the dial-up settings are. I couldn't find any at all.
After some trial and error including 3 hard freezes, I got a setting that works:
Number: web
Account Name: gprs
Password: gprs
Then click 'Advanced'
Vendor: Nokia
Model: GPRS (GSM / 3G)
APN: gprs.swisscom.ch
CID: 1
Click OK, then Apply and then Connect and you should be good to go.
Thanks for the post - but I'm afraid it didn't seem to work with my MacBook/HTC Touch HD/Swisscom. If I find a solution for my phone I will post it in my blog.
