Network Error (27) - how to fix it

I am on vodafone and i get this problem every time I try to connect. Will your solution**this too? And where exactly do i put those settings? Cheers

Hi,

The APN settings for Vodafone are:

Go to Options/Advanced Options/TCP

APN: Internet
Username for APN: web
Password for APN: web

The above settings work on my Blackberry Bold which I use on a Vodafone contract.

Thanks so much for this**- has been driving me mad for hours.

anyone know the settings for orange

Hi Ernesto,

Go to:

options.... adv options...... select TCP
APN must be.... orangeinternet
username must be user
password must be pass

By using this APN you might be charged per mb as your contract data allowance is through the Blackberry APN. Try the above settings to see if they work. You can always return them blank when you have finished using Betfair Mobile. Check later with Orange exactly what their charges are for using an APN other than the default Blackberry one.

cheers Armadale. Thanks for the charges info too.

Thanks for the useful info Armadale

I am on O2

APN: mobile.O2.co.uk
Username:mobileweb
Password:faster

THANK YOU to Evil Dr for this info. It worked for me and I have been trying for 3 weeks to**it.

First off - thanks a lot for the info. I am on O2 Ireland. I have tried substituting ie for .co.uk but not having any joy.

Does anyone know a**for an O2 Ireland customer. Many thanks.

Hi Sligo,

The settings for O2 Ireland are:

APN: open.internet
Username: gprs
Password: gprs

You will be charged for every mb of data you use with the above settings.

You could try using the "wap" APN of wap.dol.ie. That should be free, but I am not sure whether it would work with Betfair Mobile.

Good Luck !

well done! My betfair account on O2 works on the blackberry for the first time since i got it...Is there a charge on O2? Does anyone know?

Hola Cuban!

Your data allowance with O2 is through the Blackberry APN. When you use an O2 APN you will have to pay for any data use. However, you can purchase a monthly "bolt on" for using the O2 APN. Your best bet is to ring O2 customer services and explain the problem with the APNs and try to negociate a data deal with them. I use a Blackberry Bold with Vodafone and there is no extra charge for using their APN with Betfair Mobile. Additionaly, their data allowance is 500 mb a month.

Thanks guys, however im on o2 and tried the above- its says:-

(unable to access/contact server 02)

Hi Cogito,

Which O2 APN are you using? The APN for the UK is:

APN: mobile.O2.co.uk
Username:mobileweb
Password:faster

The O2 details in my earlier post were for Ireland only.

Which server are you using your blackberry through - BES or BIS?

Would not advise anyone on orange with a Blackberry to use anything other than the Blackberry apn. It would be very costly indeed.

I've been strugling for ages to use the mobile App. I have a Blackberry 9000 and keep gettin this error (27) message.
Tried all the APN settings advised. Anyone have any ideas? maybe it doesn't work on this model?
Bit gutted cos the betfair lite site is not great.

If you post your network operator name here I'm sure someone will be able to suggest an alternative APN for you.

The other issue could be that you haven't removed the adult block on your account, try calling your network operator to see if this is still on and if you do this ask them about alternative APNs.
Post back if you this works - I'm sure a lot of people would be really grateful.

My phone is Sony Ericsson C905 with vodafone. I keep getting Network Error (20) message and I don't know nothing about mobile phones. Can you please help me?

I'm starting to get very frustrated.

Sorry Network Error (27) not (20) message as above.

Hi Nomadic,

The problem is likely to caused by one or both of the following settings:

1. Have you removed the "Adult Block" by contacting Vodafone? It is set by default on a new contract unless you ask them to remove it.

2. Are your Mobile Internet settings correct? An easy way of updating the settings on the SE C905 is to go to the following web page:

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/detailed/phonesetupwap/c905?cc=gb&lc=en

Fill in your details on the web page and the correct settings will be sent to your mobile phone.

Good Luck!

thanks thats done the trick mate.

Hi Iv'e got the same problem error 27 but I am on orange payg. Has anyone got the setting for this?
Cheers

Help please -  I am getting the network (27) error and am with t-mobile with a blackbeyy 8520.
T-mobile have removed the content block what else do I need to do please?

Betfair Mobile worked fine on my Bllackberry until the middle of yesterady afternoon when suddenly the network error reappeared. Has anyone else had this problem or have an idea what might have happened? Any fix? Many thanks.

I'm getting the same error message on my blackberry with orange. The purple place's application works a treat so it appears to be betfair's problem and not the manufacturer or the network. Surprised? Of ****ing course not

hey I am travelling to India and am on LOOP(BPL) Mobile and having this problem, any suggestions ?

Followed the instructions for 02 contract at the bottom here - no joy.

Prior to this had called Betfair yesterday advised that needed to call 02, did just that they were baffled as I could access all other sites. They sent me the latest service book, however as everything else was working there was nothing else they could do - so they suggested calling Betfair again.

Do Betfair think we are all mobile/programming experts?

I think I am going to see if I can use another bookmakers service instead, one that works.

I am getting the network (27) error and am with Vodafone with a blackbeyy 8520.
I have set the APN settings for Vodafone as:

Go to Options/Advanced Options/TCP

APN: Internet
Username for APN: web
Password for APN: web
still i have the same problem what do I need to do?

What about APN details for 3 users? Any help much appreciated. Blackberry Bold 9700 here.

Read this thread from top to bottom, have tried all suggestions and i'm still getting the network error 27 message. I'm on 02 PAYG, have removed the adult bar, tried umpteen GRPS settings, reinstalled it several times and it's driving me absolutely nuts. Have emailed betfair and they can only suggest using betfair lite, which quite frankly isn't any good.

Anyone who can help me get bf mobile working, i'd me most grateful !

Anybody know how to solve the problem for me !? I have a Blackberry Bold 9000 with t mobile..any help would be much appreciated

BlackBerry 8520 with Virgin Media.........same problem.....please help?

BlackBerry 8520 with Virgin Media.........same problem.....please help? Someone out there must have been sorted by now!!!

Virgin Media have stated it is a Betfair Issued not the service provider for the Blackberry 8520......................worthless app at the mo???

Issued = issue

If you have a network problem regarding error 27 on the Blackberry (sometimes error 02) this is a general network access settings issue which can occur on any mobile which is trying to access the web via an application. This can be resolved by conducting the following:

Go to 'options', and then 'advanced options' then click on 'TCP/IP' and amend the settings, bearing in mind who your provider as they need to confirm the username and password required:

APN:      (see http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html for APN/gprs settings)

Username:  (see relevant provider GPRS Settings)

Password:  (see relevant provider GPRS Settings)

Save and Exit

Then go to 'options' and then 'security options' then “advanced security”, then click 'TLS'

Set the 'TLS default' to 'handheld' (this may be set to proxy)

Save and Exit

Restart your blackberry device (remove the battery). Then try and log in to Betfair Mobile.

If the problem remains you can try accessing Betfair via http://lite.betfair.com

TRIED ALL THIS STILL NOT WORKING!!!

Finally getting it to work. I waS not putting the APN in.

see below
APN: goto.virginmobile.uk

Username for APN: user

Password for APN:


Probably loss a fortune now, buts thats life.!!
