How to Configure Your Samsung Omnia on AT&T

The Samsung Omnia is turning out to be a popular phone, even for those in the US who have to pay high import prices. I've been getting a lot of emails asking how to get the Omnia running on AT&T, since it doesn't work out of the box.

Well, here is what I’ve found to produce the best results (and remember, you can only cellular internet if you have a data plan):

1. Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Manage existing connections
3. If you see SingTel already in there, click edit. Otherwise, click New
4. Put in a new name (I just used "att")
5. Access point name: wap.cingular. Hit Next
6. User name: wap@cingulargprs.com, password: cingular1, no domain
7. Hit Finish

That’s it! There are variations on these settings, though I found them to give me EDGE speeds of around 150kb/s as measured by dslreports mobile test, which is pretty solid.
