Bought Turkcell 3G last week after being on dial up connection and the difference was amazing. However we now seem to be getting a few problems in that it sometimes will not connect despite the green light being on the modem. Anyone else had similar problems?

Corrine

Will Turkcell 3G allow you to make calls on Skype or is it blocked ?.

i too have the turkcell 3G. sometimes very slow also. But having phoned turkcell they said it would take a few months for everything to settle down. İ think they are having a few teething problems,which is quite normal i think as this is a new system.

Hi CJtill - I have to disconnect the modem and then reconnect it everytime I start it up. I'm sure that things will be sorted out once Turkcell get their head round things. Other than that - very happy with it.

720 YTL a year, and no other cost incurred? Where does the modem attach - is it to your mobile?

sportstar I haven't progressed yet to trying Skype but I am going to try in the next few days.



I am glad it is not just me that is having problems as I thought it was maybe our computer connection as we have had problems with the usb ports.

I have also had to disconnect the modem and reconnect a couple of times and then the signal seems quite low but I guess it is early days yet but otherwise I am really happy with it.

Truffles - you connect to your computer but I believe if you have a blackberry you can connect direct to that.

Use Skype all time and the quality is the same as previous internet connection, sometimes better than others, there is also a connecting lead for your phone so you should be able to take it with you if your phone has internet capability (in theory anyway, haven't tried it), also your laptop. The modem is the size of a very small mobile. Absolutely no complaints about the service.

I think they are about to roll out a wireless network solution to augment the current offering which only works with one laptop/pc at a time...

Possibly a daft question, but if you've got 3G broadband can't you then go on line and download from BBC i player ITV player/ Sky player(if you subscribe) and get all your TV requirements without having to get a satellite dish?

I got 3G on saturday and so far I am delighted with it! It doesn't constantly cut out and lose the connection like my old provider used to do. It downloads probably about twice as fast as before. I've only had it 3 days but so far I have absolutely no complaints!

Hi Lincsman Yes you can watch Sky over the internet. We have the Slingbox system set up at our daughters house in Uk and watch it over broadband here. We had to upgrade our broadband connection but it is very watchable

I found that if signal was a bit weak it would go to GPRS, which is a lot slower. The best thing I found was to change the network settings (do this before connecting). Change from UMTS preferred to UMTS only. UMTS is faster than GPRS.



If you are having trouble getting a decent signal for UMTS, buy a USB extension lead from any PC shop (max cable length should be 5mtrs). You will be surpised just how much better the signal can be a few feet from where you are using it.

Did a signal test in a bungalow almost opposite Club Simena. In an attic room and was getting 3-4 bars and a speedtest at between 700kbps and 1mbps.
