Here you go.

Good luck.

Do not forget, that you have to subscribe to data services (it will not work with WAP)

thanks
Okay thanks everyone.
I've got the settings as:
Cellular line (GPRS)
Access point name: internet.com
user name: wapuser1
password: wap
domain: (blank)
under advanced: Use server-assigned IP address, software compression off, IP header compression off. Server tab: use server-assigned addresses
Under GPRS settings i have
CHAP authentication (note i also tried PAP without sucess); and class 10 (which shouldn't matter).
Now mys CSD line type settings (not sure how much this matters because I don't know what CSD is):
Data rate: 9600 (v.32)
Connection element: non-transparent
Any other settings that might be configured wrong?
As for having to have a WAP account - my understanding is that all phone accounts are on a pay-per-use basis unless a specific plan is purchased.
Thanks again everyone,
Sean

oh.
I see what you mean now - sorry, I read it wrong the first time. I have to subscribe to a data service plan - the phone will not do WAP on its own. Do you know why that is? The cost on Rogers is very high for a data plan while it is much more reasonable for WAP phones. I really only need the WAP - not the rest of the internet. Is there no way of getting just WAP?

YES, we all now about Rogers prices
I actually switched to Fido, but still maintaining Rogers account for other purposes.
I am not sure about using I-Mate with WAP, but I think by using special WAP browser it should be possible. Sorry cannot be more help for you.

ARRRGGGGHHHHH
I've just spent a ton of time researching whether it was possible to use my XDAII to dial-in to my work. I mean the phone is a modem/phone/computer so it has all the hardware present.... At work there is a RAS that would allow me to pick-up my e-mail and surf the internet. I do it with my laptop connected through a land-line all the time. while connecting over a GSM line would be slower than a GPRS connection it would be a heck-of-a-lot cheaper and it would be more mobile than my laptop and no need for a landline!!! Anyway, turns out that beautiful ROGERS AT&T service does not allow CSD on their system (if anyone knows a way around this please please please share it with me!!). I guess, the idea is to force people to subscribe to their expensive GPRS data plans.
i would love to get all I can out of my XDAII but I'm not sure at this point if I can justify the extra $25 month for 3mb of data with Rogers or the $25 month for the 5mb of data from FIDO... both of these providers are crazy expensive (plus, add the cost of the $6.95/mth access fee I'd be required to pay for FIDO). Now, if I had a normal phone which only did WAP then it would cost me about $7 for 1mb - not a lot of data but a more reasonable rate.
So, that's where I'm at.... if anyone out there knows of a good plan for data usage - or better yet a way to do CSD on Rogers please let me know. Noviur, or anyone, if you know of a WAP browser program that would allow me to use WAP on Rogers please point me in that direction.
Thanks,
Sean
PS. Just a little disappointed that after all the money spent on this beautifull phone I'm now limited in its use so that Rogers can continue to make more money on me besides what they make for my high-speed internet, digital cable and 2 mobile phone plans.

you can not bit 50CAD unlimited from Fido. In states it is the same amount of money, may be jsut little bit less and only from T-Mobile (based on references from my friends )
5Mb will not make you happy, sorry to tell you... my avarage is about 17Mb per month....
If i can help you in anything with solving this - let me know.

Thanks Noviur,
Do you know if FIDO allows CSD? If they do I'd consider switching. How do you find the FIDO reception - I've heard that it can be problematic and they don't have as large a coverage area as Rogers.

Where in Canada are you?

Toronto

me too
in some places Fido even beter than Rogers..., such as Steeles & Leslie
In some places the same s...t, such as Bayview & 16th, or Weldrick between Bayview & Spadina...
Let's put this way - the quality of service is better, the service is almost the same, bu limited to the geographic areas... for example i am stil using my Rogers, when going for a weekend up north...
Downtown is very good receiption...
Tell me if you need me more specific...
BUT do not forget, that is is very difficult to bit 45 unlimited+50 unlimited itnernet...

The quality of service must be better with Fido - Nothing could be worse than Rogers.
I too head up north frequently (just about every weekend) but my phone doesn't get reception up there anyway - Neither Rogers or Fido (now Bell gets perfect reception).
Right now I'm on a $20/mth plan that gives me adequate telephone minutes - I get 150 minutes during the day and unlimited evenings and weekends starting at 7pm... that seems to work for me. Jumping to $95/mth would be a big increase that I'm not sure I could/should pay.

Noviur,
Do you know if FIDO has CSD? If they do then you can dial-in to any ISP or RAS server - while it would be much slower than GPRS it would only use your telephone minutes and you wouldn't have to pay the GPRS fees. For me it would be amazing because then I could collect my e-mails, messages, etc. from my work just like i do with my laptop.

I am not sure about it... I think a raised this question some time ago with CSR because of the KSE Fax soft, and was told that Fido does not support CSD... But the best place to check that would be www.howardchui.com forum....

T mobile wap settings

I am trying to configure my wizard (8125 lokiwiz unlocked) to work on my tmobile data plan.I don't have the unlimited internet and hotspot plan for tmobile, i have the unlimited WAP plan. I just can't figure out how to get it to work, the tmobile tech people didnt sound experienced with the wizard but they said its possible. Do any of you know teh correct settings and how to enter them. I was able to work it out on WM2003 but WM5 is really confusing. Perhaps someone with an MDA and the similar plan could let me know what theirs is configured for.

I saw the issue of tmobile's WAP discussed I believe on howardforums.com . At least from what I remembered from the discussion was that tmobile was to be fading out its WAP service which also had unintended consequences for people using tmobile's blackberry sevices. I did however download the tmobile cab files from club-imate which placed a wap configuration for tmobile in My Work Network configurations setup. Good luck.

Bro, its simple, go to settings, connections, connections, then add a new modem connection, Then put in where it says "enter a name for the connection" T-Mobile GPRS Wap" or what ever your want. Then below select GPRS where it says select a modem. click on next after that and enter in wap.voicestream.com then click on next and then finish. You do not need to put anything else in. Thats it your are done. I have five PPC from the XDA on up and no problems on any.
Cheers,
Mike

thanks mike, hmm now the phone just says locating... if i try to load a wap site like wap.yahoo.com for instance. I am connected to the GPRS connection, its just not loading up sites.
hey eb, was that cab from an original tmobile rom, or was it part of the euro tmobile roms that was just released. I have been looking for a copy of the tmobile rom from back in nov.

The tmobile cab I got from clubimate is for the US, and as far as I can tell it is not the euro tmobile settings. I also tried the wap connect and got dumped into my GPRS connection to. The steps Mike described is how it looks in my network connections. I remember back when tmobile was voicestream and using my laptop via cellphone to connect, one had to start at voicestream's wap home page. Just a suggestion.

try a differnt AP like internet2.voicestream.com
some people have had success using that....I myself discourge this, however, it works it works...

internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com will only work if you have a tmobile unlimited internet account which is 19.99 a month not a wap account. What services are on your account?

mike you're right....i thought he had the 19.99 unlim internet plan...i think he needs a t-mo proxy for it to work....i'll google this and post back later...
okay here's what i found....i think the proxy thing is the what might be relevant..
http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/lofiversion/index.php?t9404.html

That is correct, for the wap, and mms the proxy has to be put in. I am soooo lazy. I reflash my Universal so much, I got tired of putting the mms setting back in. LOL
Mike

hmm so after messing around with more settings, still nothing works. Perhaps its because im trying to connect to restricted WAP sites. anyone know the tzones website/homepage? Or perhaps someone that actually has the correct settings for $9.99 tzones on a WIzard can help me with the settings.

Just put out 19.99 and you will have full access!

I was told they no longer had the 19.99 plan, that it is only the 29.99 plan. What's the trick to still getting the 19.99 plan?

Dawm that includes hotspots now. I was paying 19.99 for gprs and 19.99 for hotspot service. Heh. I guess they don't have 19.99 gprs internet only now. Sucks. But thanks, I am going to call and save 10.00 a month. hehe
Mike

They are getting rid of the back door to using the WAP as online access for the PDA's. They are going to go to the full data. You will have to have the 29.99 Total Internet Plan which is unlimited data and email and hotspot. There were a lot of people paying the lower amounts and trying to use it on the PDA and it was causing issues and the data group had to try and solve them and there were things that just couldn't be solved becuase the provisiong of the WAP is different then the internet2.voicestream.com. Just pay the 30 bucks and get it all.

Need Sidekick internet settings for The Hermes

Need Help got a Sidekick PrePaid Sim card in my Hermes everything works Text,Phone Use but can't get the internet to work Did a search for the Settings all i got was the Access Point Name : hiptop.t-mobile.com it connects but i need the proxy sever address does anyone know what it is

why dont you check the t-mobile website since this has nothing to do with hermes it has to do with t-mobiles WAP internet settings

Try this its for the people that have the 5.99 tzones plan
proxy 216.155.165.50 and then click advanced and change the HTTP port to 8080
one thing dough how did you get the sidekick sim did you call tmobile
post if it works

I tried that did not see any all i need is the proxy settings and the internet should work

I did the proxy 216.155.165.50 port to 8080
it connects but cant get any pages to show up
i called them and told them that i had a sidekick and they set up the prepaid sim that i had so now i get unlimited text just need the internet to work but with out the right proxy settings all i will get is the unlimited text

don't have hermes but i like the idea of using a prepaid sidekick sim for internet on one of my mda's

did they ask for a imei number

yeah they did ask for the imei number everything went ok if i could get this to work all i would have to do is get a Dual SIM adapter and have Paid/prepaid SIM cards so i can have unlimited Text and internet for a dollar a day and switch over to use my minutes that would be so sweet

u can just sign up for the 19.99 blackberry add on....the go to net settings and change it to wap.voicestream.com

Any luck? This still seems like a good idea

the tmobile sidekick plan only works with the sidekick. You need regular phone internet and it will work. i believe its a daily usage charge. also you should be connecting to wap.voicestream.com when you get that settled.

I second this.
You cannot use the Danger proxy on the Hermes. It will not work. Many people have tried using this and also the Danger settings for Fido up here in Canada it won't work.
The proxy will recognize that you are not using a Danger device and as such if it can, it will use your Telco's instead which you will get charge their regular rate. You will know when you get your bill at the end of the month.

This is for a pre-paid sim not contract sim. And anyways US tmobile does not offer internet service just like that you have to get a plan.

I posted a solution on this you mite whant to see my post hope it helps

GPRS Setting for Afghanistan

Well I was so happy yesterday. I received my new MWg Atom (great phone BTW) and was all set to set up GPRS. Unfortunately, Afghan Wireless Communications Company does not support this device. They do all of their GPRS setting via OTA SMS. This is a very long shot, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the manual GPRS setting are for AWCC or Roshan in Afghanistan. The Auto Configurator does not have either of these networks. Pakistan is the closest country I could find in the list.
Bobby

sorry dude, all you can find about those networks is to call customer service..
they should help you out with a device wich needs manual settings...

Thanks for the reply, but I've already been down that road. They just hang up when you mention your device is not Nokia, Samsung or Motorola. They insist my phone doesn't support GPRS, but of course it does. Also, I erased all of the settings and got connected, but it is very slow (8Kbps max). I believe I'm connected to their GPRS, but they also have an INTERNET profile which is supposed to be faster.

Maihan,
Thanks for the reply. I'd already configured the phone like you described in your post. Actually, I have successfully used three different settings
APN: wap
Username: awcc
Password: 1111
Proxy: 10.100.1.52 (port 80)
*limited to HTTP traffic only. Slow to start, but fast when it recognizes DNS
APN: internet
Username: blank
Password: blank
APN: blank
Username: blank
Password: blank
* both these connections are slow. Speed test show 2.8Kbps MAX
AWCC shows that it connects at EDGE speed, but the connection is much slower than regular GPRS. Seems like it wasn't worth the cash to have the phone. What speeds are you getting? Also, it appears that after 1700hrs, I can't even get a connection. I really wanted to use AWCC to replace the high cost internet service I subscribe to now. I was at least hoping to get at least 56Kbps service out of this.
If you have any other advice please reply. Thanks.
Bobby

AWCC GPRS
Dear Bobby,
Hope you are fine and doing your best,
Thanks for sharing with us your settings,
I have tested these all settings and have checked my speed, the speed of AWCC is very slow, my average speed with all three settings is between 1 -12 kbs.
I don’t think so your phone is bad because sometimes AWCC get hang and the internet doesn’t work for while.
Maihan Nijat

anyone have manual settings for Roshan?

Perhaps you can find it on the GPRS/Internet Connection Settings for the whole world thread

I use AWCC with much success, $20 per month unlimited. I only use it to check email and chat with Palringo, so I dont need much speed. I use my gmai+google voice to send and receive txts from home. Some of my guys use Roshon and have good luck as well. I am in Kandahar with good coverage, and the settings posted above by besjr69 have worked on both networks.

thanks -- good information. I'll be in Herat Provence soon.
I heard talk of 3G last year - any insight from someone on the ground?

AWCC sucks big time. It costs 20 usd per month, unlimited, crappy speed. You can get your emails though and sometimes check Facebook .
1. send message to 999 with text: GPRS
2. wait for 24 hours
3. APN: internet (everything else blank)
ROSHAN
i'm just trying that right now. Other than the APN, i saw that you must activate GPRS by sending message to 167 with text: GPRS on

Roshan settings are as follow
Name: Roshan
APN: internet
everything else leave default and ensure phone internet service turned on

roshan is... expensive...

There was some news of 3G coming in 2011 to Afghanistan and the government was in talks with the carriers. The carriers are concerned that their investment in infrastructure could be wasted by attacks on towers. I doubt it will happen this year and if it does it will probably just be Kabul.

Depends on how you use it...
I have had a 1,k AFS scratch card loaded on my phone for 3months. still have about 350AFS on it. I use it to call local Roshan #'s mainly and RARE calls stateside after 9pm afghanistan time. I've done maybe 15 sms msgs on it to the USA.
BUT yes GPRS data is stupid $$$
as of 04/07/2011
GPRS Rates: A fee of 0.10 Afs is applicable per 10 KB download in Afghanistan.
So 1 AFS per KB, a 1k AFS card is $23ish USD do the math...
MIGHT be cheaper @ the Bazaar or via online top up but don't think so

Thought I read Kabul had it (April `11 time frame) but I'm way down in Kandahar so we are just glad to have service
Cause yes, they used to shut down cell towers at night to keep them from getting attacked.

roshon gprs setting

What are the speeds like on Bagram, and how fast do the Roshan cards deplete? I currently have a Roshan Sim in my HTC but didnt even know I could use data!

I wonder if you (or any expert else) can tell me how it is configured on Galaxy S2 phones? I can't find the setting for such GPRS details?

t-mobile's new internet plan

i just found out that t-mobile has a new 9.99 data plan for the internet...i was thinkin about getting this rather than the 24.99 plan for the t-mobile wing internet...does anybody know te proxy settings that would allow me to use the 9.99 plan on my wing to use internet explorer?
and if not can someone tell me the proxy settings for the 5.99 t-zones plan?
thank u

The $9.99 plan isn't for smartphones. I went to tmobile.com and selected a standard phone with a basic plan (just to see available services) and then switched the phone at check out and selected a Dash... The $9.99 plan isn't offered with the Dash. So I suppose you could pop your sim in a standard headset and order the $9.99 plan and switch it out to see if it works. Just to warn you, even if it does work, it's only 50mb. Tmo says it's for casual web browsing. You could burn through that pretty quickly if you use your phone to watch videos or stream podcast.

that will not work. i had the 9.99 plan for my motorola and switched to wing and had to upgrade to 24.99. its not the same kind of data plan.

oh okay i was jus wondering

I met an ex Tmo employee that said in some states those proxy hacks work, but where I am in Michigan they won't. Why the hell that is... I don't know? I was never able to get the $4.99 proxy hack working when I got my wing.

how much data can you use before they get mad at you?

tzones hack
well there are some steps missing i have had the 4.99 since the dinosaurs have roomed the earth and i have had no issues. ok heres the hack
apn= wap.myvoicestream.com
proxy 216.155.165.50 port 8080 (or 216.155.165.50:8080)
or if yer brave
apn= epc.tmobile.com
then check "this network connects to the internet"

I have the T-Mobile Total Internet Add-On on my plan, and edge is working fine on my unlocked E61i .. but I've put the SIM in a loaner Touch Pro 2.
Calls work fine, actually I even have the gmail application working fine, as well as active sync with google for contacts and calendar.
Opera and IE both give me Gateway Timeouts.
I have a comm connection set up for Cellular Line (GPRS,3G) to internet2.voicestream.com with all auth info blank.
It looks like it's trying to communicate over EDGE then dies. I've tried setting it up multiple times and rebooting the phone. No dice.

Well, that's strange.. I suppose this phone's Opera and IE have some strange modification..
I loaded SkyFire onto it and it's working fine.. nevermind I suppose..
