CONNECT and T-Mobile problem
A week ago I took delivery of a new Alfa 156 Sportwagon GTA which is
every bit as good as I hoped, it's fantastic fun to drive! The one minor irritation is that I cannot get the CONNECT hands free GSM phone system working with a T-Mobile pay as you go SIM card, it simply can't find the T-Mobile network, it only seems to recognise the Cellnet (O2) and Vodaphone networks. The system appears to have around 200 mobile networks predefined but not T-Mobile UK, a quick check on the internet has identified 3 network addresses that T-Mobile use and I have tried to add these into the system following the instructions in the manual however to no avail as it doesn't seem to store them properly. I have tried getting the dealer to help but the sales guy didn't even know how to insert the SIM card correctly and simply started reading the manual which I had already done. If anyone has any experience of using/configuring the CONNECT system with T-Mobile UK or successfully adding a new network I would be most grateful for some assistance. Glen |

Hey Glen Just a thought, but O2 and Vodafone are on the same band (900Mhz). Orange and T-Mobile use 1800Mhz I believe, so could it be that your system is single band? Rgds Stuart |

I had hours of fun trying to get my Connect system working with Orange (the
salesman insisted it would). Yes, the system is single band and can only use O2 and Vodafone in the UK.
