Description Ma_Po 2010-01-27 18:18:45 UTC
When conecting a Claro 3G Modem in Nicaragua network mananger sugest to use APN="internet.ideasalo.ni".

This data is not correct, you should correct it using http://blog.marconipoveda.info/2009/06/3g-conection-parameters-in-nicaragua.html

Claro's connection data:

    * Dial up number: *99#
    * User: webemovil
    * Password: webemovil
    * APN: web.emovil

I had connected this modems modifying the APN address, but most common users don't know about it.

APN for Claro Nicaragua

Does the APN differ depending on your region or phone prefix?  For example, if you use the tool here:

http://www.ideasclaro.com.ni/index.php?main=19

And select "Seleccione el Prefijo de su Número Celular" 410 and select any of the phones, you get the APN wap.ideasalo.ni.  But if you select other prefixes, you get wapemovil...

Perhaps we need two sections, one for "Prefijo de su Número Celular 410/xx/xx" and another for "all the others"?

Hi, i don't think this configurations (on the link) has noting about Mobile BroadBand. This link is to configure wap navigation on cellphones.

When you are using a Mobile Broadband device with Claro is impossible to get connect using "internet.ideasalo.ni" as APN, we must use "web.emovil" to get the 3G modem connected.

Sorry if i didn't make myself clear ;-)

Cheers!

Claro Nicaragua rebranded Enitel and Alo pcs in 2006; Alo used the ideasalo APN while Enitel used the emovil ones.  Fixed now, thanks!
