Vinn internet dongle

[WordBird]

Ok, I have a question and forgive me if I'm being dense......

But how do I use the SMS feature on the device? There's no keypad or screen.....the little envelope icon is blue which I'm assuming means I've got a message (given that the wifi icon is also blue when it's active) but I have no idea how to access it or check my usage. (Unless I do what Marggie did and take the SIM out and put it into my iPad or phone.)

Can any of you VINN experts enlighten me? Ta.

Hi - on your device (tablet / laptop etc) - type in the browser - 192.168.1.1

This takes you to your mifi dashboard - enter admin as username and admin as password and you enter the dashboard where you will see SMS area / Statistics / Usage / Settings etc - but don't change any of the settings unless you are confident you know what you are changing :-)

Thanks Ian.
I'm trying that but keep getting 'Cannot open page because the server stopped responding'.
Keep giving it a go I suppose.....internet working fine through via the VINN widget otherwise so it's not that.

Still can't get anywhere with connecting to 192.168.1.1 - have tried on laptop, iPad and iPhone several times, with and without VPN in case that was causing a problem.

No idea what usage is.....I guess I'll know it needs topping up when it runs out, just hope I'm not doing something vital at the time!

Turkcell took the SIM out of my VINN and put it in a mobile phone to check the balance - I suppose you could do that (if you have a turkcell phone that is !!!)

Wordbird try clearing your cookies, I couldn't get 192.168.1.1. To work last year until I did that.

Fran, thank you - I will try that.   

Kev - sadly the Vinn SIM won't fit the iPhones as they take the nano-SIMs. If Fran's idea doesn't work I'll have to take it to a shop.

I have just loaded software onto my PC anfd Ruekcell ask for my password.
I assumed it was the password for the dongle connection but it failed 3 times leaving me 2 more tries
Does anyone know what password it is supposed to be?  I have tried my normal modem password on the off chance but that didn't work either

My turkcell vinn is admin (user) and admin (password). Good luck!

[snowtop]

does anyone else have admin as their password?
