Getting IRC to work over WAP
I need some help getting my phone to connect to IRC.
I downloaded and installed jmIRC, but have not been able to get it to connect. IRC uses port 6667, but it also has a HTTP proxy option. The proxy options are server (I used wap.voicestream.com), proxy port (I used 8080), and proxy password (I left blank). I couldn't get it to connect with or without the proxy settings. I have the $5.99 Web plan and if this type of usage is not allowed, then no biggie, but I just thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance for any help! |

play with the settings and the phone might not let the 3rd party app connect to the internet

From what I understand about the $5.99 plan, port 8080 is used to connect, so the phone won't be able to directly connect to the port IRC normally uses (6667). For that reason, I tried activating the HTTP proxy settings using wap.voicestream.com and port 8080, but have had no luck with that.

some irc servers accept port 8080
but the problem is: some servers don't like GPRS |

you can use pocketIRC if you have WM device (pda phone or tethered)
if you use efnet, you can try irc.mzima.net:8080 irc.efnet.pl:8080 but since some IRC servers don't like GPRS, you may have hard time for that |
