HI there
I am wonder If anyone could answer me .PLS
I want to you use one Instant Messenger ,IM+ or Agilemessenger by my Wizard but I donot know :
1-which one is better to use for YAHOO ?
2-how much DATA via GPRS they transfere for Login and for PM ?
for measure I'v used SPB gprs Monitor and PhoneAlarm 1.26 .
I used IM+4.04 trial for Login it use 32K and seems for PM 1 till 2K
and Agile used more than for 60k just for Login .
BUT:
-- it is VERY strang because with my NOKIA 6600 with Agile messenger it uses just 3K for login and for 1 hour chat just uses 40 -60K from GPRS data usage .
-- GPRS data counters are differnt between PSB GPRS and Phone Alaram :evil: not too much but it something to count . (I am sure settings are right )
any Idea Or better softewares ??
with lots of Thanks
BaBi
how much does it cost per mb?
I prefer mChat that is the best
Setup Direct Push on an exchange server and did some testing with my K-Jam. Works good when it works, but monitored the traffic, I found about 400K - 500K per day just on heart beats! That's 15 megs a month, can be pretty pricey if you're phone provider doesn't offer a good GPRS data inclusive package.
Something to keep in mind if you're thinking of using it.
Yeah, makes me wonder if "instant e-mail" works out much cheaper than the normal e-mail app checking the server every x minutes.
I need help guys vodafone have contacted me saying that I have downloaded over 400 MB of data on my V1605 since the beginning of October
and that I owe them over £900.00 I mentioned that I haven't done any extra internet access this month than usual. They looked further and say it was email traffic downloaded to me. I have at the start of the month added HTTPMail Provider software to my V1605 which downloads from my hotmail account, I on average receive about 15 emails from this which on average is about 5KB per mail (I rarely download the whole email or attachments which according to HTTPMail providers amount to 720KB total).
I also receive from my works exchange server l about 10 messages per day of approx 1KB per email. I occasionally surf on my PDA
STOP PRESS...I've just checked ip dashboards traffic monitor on my PDA and since I have added HTTPMail on the 4th October over 400mb has been downloaded
has anyone have HTTPMail Provider on their PDA, when I press send/receive does it download the whole account rather than just new messages because that is the only explanation I have.
what do you guys say????.

So far as I'm aware it does not download whole e'mail though I believe you can alter how many kb it does download. I only use mine over WiFi so no charges apply, but what I notice is that if you delete e-mail on PDA it does not delete on server so next send/receive back it will come. Also if your system is set to look every fifteen minutes say, each time it downloads the incoming mail folder so in fact it is replacing the e-mails on your device not just adding any new ones. I stand to be corrected here but if it's doing a fresh download each time and if it's auto checking every fifteen minutes (say) then all those small 5k e-mails will get multiplied up to huge levels and just to get a new copy of ones you've already seen. Whatever the situation, I think I'd be pleading a special case with Voda and asking for managerial discretion.
Be interesting to hear from others.

My first though when i read this was f*ck me !! I had this same problem, with Vodafone in Italy although for a lot less (EU 80,00) which they said was for wap traffic. I called Vodafone and explained that I had not done any surfing to that extent and they credited my account. Explain your situationto one of their customer services reps, they are helpful in Italy and understanding. If they dont want to hear about it then cancel your account with them and move on to another provider (this works depending how much you spend with them and how long you have been with them)
Anyway good luck.
not a great help but t mobile is 2000mb for £10ish per month,
maybe voda will waive the charge if you persuade them the device is at fault.
Its not as if bandwidth costs them anything, think about isps
Hi,
I just recently purchased an HTC 8525 on the AT&T network. Is it worth investing in an unlimited data plan? Is there ways around this? I would like to be able to access the internet/email when I do not have access to WiFi. Any suggestions? Also what do you guys recommend be done to a stock 8525, in terms of applications, system structure, etc. The phone does have WM6 installed.
Howdy Newbie from my birth-state,
First, if you havent already done so, read through the entire Hermes Wiki. That will answer many of your questions. The unlimited data plan is KEY if you want to use, for ex., XM radio/MobiTV or receive GPS maps, etc.=basically anything that is "streaming". Just keep reading everything here-"seek and ye shall find". Welcome

As an employee, I'll be the first to tell you: Spend the $40-50/mo and get one of the unlimited plans. I should've taken a picture of a customer I had to tell had over $200 in data charges alone today. You've got 2 choices: $39.99 for unl. data and 1500 txts, or $49.99 for unl. everything. You've got the device, so spend the money to use it to its fullest.

I agree with the above poster. Get the unl data. You will find yourself doing things on your phone when your bored, ie net surfing and such. Plus I like to use internet sharing on my laptop when i am not home.
I got the MediaMax 200 plan for $19.99/mo. Unlimited internet, great price. Don't know if it's still available, but I signed up for it online. Also look at the threads-there's a thread about this program and how to get it.
Best wishes,
Steve Bonning

Steve,
Which program?
Not a program, it's a data plan for the phone. Was available via Cingular/AT&T's online site and through their Business Portal (via employees who have deals with them). Don't know if it's still around, but probably worth searching for.
Steve
Here's the details from Cingular.com web site for MediaMax 200 @ $19.99. Effectively is unlimited internet access and 200 messages.

From newbie to another, do not leave AT&T to another carrier other than Verizon otherwise you'll find that the streaming media does not stream so well anymore other than wifi. As far as ROMS I have never had a problem with Schaps ROMs. Holidays with ever read & make-up your own mind or build your own.
Ah, nice Steve. Thanks for the info!
Better yet; cancel the AT&T, send back the phone. Buy a hermes off craigslist or ebay.
Activate a new account with t-mobile. Sell the phone you get from them on CL or ebay, or keep as a backup.
Unlock the hermes with the free unlocker.
Use with unlimited cheap $5.99 t-zones (just put the proxy server settings in the hermes to make it work).
Basically if you want the fastest and you can afford it, stay with AT&T. If you want the cheapest, the tzones can't be beat. It's kind of pokey, about dialup speed. But it works for me for:
Web surfing (traffic cam, cl, ebay)
Exchange Push email!
popmail

There is a company in my country called Movistar. They currently have this prepaid plan, which costs only the equivalent of $15 per month... contract free. It includes:
500 minutes to any company.
100 SMS to any company.
Unlimited minutes to any Movistar phone.
Unlimited SMS to any Movistar phone.
Unlimited access to these apps: Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Email.
250MB of data.
Now... As you can see, the plan is pretty good for the price, except the lame amount of data.
But... The Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Email are unlimited, without interruptions.
Is there a way to use that as my advantage and redirect the browser or something to use the data of those apps so I won't be limited to just 250MB? Is there a way to use a browser inside Facebook somehow?
Thanks.
No.
I'm pretty sure their DNS servers log the IP addresses for those sites and allow unthrottled access to those IPs. They all have more than one IP address per site, and they change so first you'd have to find that out. Then you have to find a way to first direct your traffic to facebooks and the other sites then route it to the site you really want to goto, then rout it back to you all through a VPN most likely so your site request actually comes back to you instead of getting denied.. In short, it would be complicated and illegal as hell and I don't think you will find an answer here without the thread getting locked. I don't think its possible even with the use of IP spoofing. These are all just somewhat educated guesses.
Do you guys think it would help if I root my phone and use a public DNS, like Google DNS or OpenDNS?
Funny thing is, that after I finish the 250MB, I still have access to Google and I can search and everything, but when I try to open a search result, it redirects to me to the website of my carrier (as it should happen).
But, with Chrome Beta, if I activate the bandwidth reduction function, I can get unlimited browsing.

But I'm betting that you will be billed for it. Regardless of being on a prepaid plan.
For example you have a 250MB cap. You can use up to that for the price you pay...however they will just charge you per MB/GB you use above your allotted plan amount.
So next month when you go to pay your $15...they might say you went over last month on your data and this month you're paying $ XX.
In essence they want you to go over and you'll pay dearly for it.
I have a friend who goes over his data amount all the time...last month was $125 in over usage on data.
I'd call them and find out what their protocol is on over usage before you get dinged.
Better to be proactive than reactive :good:
