How to run ICQ on Siemens C65 / CX70?

Siemens C65, CX70, and similar models are interesting as nostalgic Java phones, but setup can be harder than on Nokia. First make sure the exact phone can install Java applications and that you have a way to transfer jimm.jar: cable, Bluetooth, IrDA, or memory card if the model supports it. Install Jimm and check that the app starts without a memory error. In the client settings, set server icq.jimm.online, port 5190, and a regular TCP connection. Enter the UIN and password from the new account. Most Siemens problems are not caused by Jimm itself but by the internet profile: wrong APN, WAP instead of internet, Java network access blocked, or unstable GPRS. If the client shows a connection error, try a different access profile and check whether the phone can open regular web pages. For CX70 and C65, it is useful to look up GPRS setup instructions for your exact firmware and carrier because the menu names can differ.

What's hardest on Siemens phones

On the C65 and CX70, the hard part is usually not Jimm itself but transferring the JAR file and configuring GPRS. The menu depends on the firmware, so instructions can vary by carrier and model.

How to diagnose a connection error

Check the APN, Java permissions, whether regular web pages load, and the connection type. If the account works in QIP, the login details are correct and the problem is on the phone or network side.
