Two years ago I had an XDA 1 and was able to get free GPRS through something.voicestream.com. Then I found out I needed t-zones and I could still get unlimited GPRS through a proxy server. I stopped using my xda a while ago, but just recently purchased an i-mate k-jam (HTC Wizard, qtek 9100). I was wondering if there was still a way to get free GPRS, or cheap GPRS through T-zones with windows 5.0. Thanks alot.

How could you connect to a PAYG phone on the XDA (i've got that far), and then dial-up internet access??? This would be really great as i have found freeserve, who do a penny a minute service for internet.
-I'm in the uk, on O2 and orange PAYG.
thank you for any help!!!
PS
it doesent have to be on freeserve
thanks for any help.
Dear Friends.
I would like to know if XDA 2 from O2 is the same of i-mate.
They have de same rom (MB) and ram (MB) and the other things.
Thank You.

I believe it is my friend.
They are the same hardware-wise. The just come with some different apps on the cd and in extended_rom, etc. (There is O2 stuff on the XDA II and arabic stuff on the i-Mate.. im sure some tmobile german stuff on the MDA II - also the same device).
I'm using an i-Mate in the U.S. with $20/month unlimited GPRS and its sweet.

which provider gives u $20/month unlimited GPRS in the US?!!
Unlimited GPRS in US
T-Mobile offers unlimited GPRS in the US. Happy surfing and emailing.
What settings did you use to get your iMate GRPRS to work with TMobile?
I live in Holland. I have an Tmobile MDA2. It is simlock free. I have a contract with Telfort mobile phone company. (Telfort used to be O2 until O2 stopped operating in Holland). And I have my Telfort sim card in the MDA2.
But I can't get on the internet. And I cannot get settings from Telfort, (they say they don't support MDA's or Xda's anymore, and I can't get settings from Tmobile, unless I have a contract with them.
I'm stuck. I upgraded the MDA succesfully, to PPC 2003 SE with the "merged" upgrade from this site. Brilliant.
But I don't know how to get on the internet, or Email, etc.
Is there a way I can get on the internet?. Any settings or ideas please?
Don't know if this is too obvious, if you want to connect to the internet mobily (so not through ActiveSync) and not with a SD-WiFi card, you're probably referring to GPRS, wich uses your GSM antenna.
To be able to connect to a GPRS network, you need to have a GPRS account.
So, do you have a GPRS account with your Telfort account?
I'm also in the netherlands with a T-Mobile MDAII but use it with my T-Mobile acount that supports GPRS. It works fine (but is waaaay to expensive..)
Internet using MDAII
Just make a connection using Cellulair Line using the same ISP you use for your home-pc..
The speed is fair enough and will cost you the same as if you were just calling someone.
cellulair how?
thanks for your answer - I looked for Cellulair on google and nothing came up. Do you have more details or links so I can find it, please?
cellulair - its alright I've found the web site
cellulair - its alright I've found the web site - duh - it was obvious - www.cellulair.com. sorry to have bothered you - thanks again
Okay, 64,000 dollar question!
I have programmed my XDA to get on the internet using O2 GPRS for FREE (I have no contract and no credit) stay on the net 24/7!
Anyone know how to do this on a T-Mobile SIM?
Cheers

i have the same a XDA2i and a orange Nokia 6630 on a 3g cotract with a trial of 1GB of data free per month for 3 months, so of corse i wonted to do the same as you and use another phones GPRS/3G connection, but the XDA2i did not have the Bluetooth profile of DUN dial up networking, but with the help of poeple on her it now works, i will try and find the link they gave me to show you how to do it.
But it works fine i use it everyday and will do for the next 2 months untill the trial runs out :evil:

thanks a lot mate, appreciated!
Hi
I currently have a blackberry on O2. I am looking toupgrade to XDA Exec (o2) or MDA Pro. XDA Exec says its Windows 5 and pushemil.
MDA pro (which seems the same phione as XDA Exec) doesn't. Does this mean that I won't get my exchange emails with MDA Pro.
MDA Pro seems a good bet as it has the unlimited walk and surf tarif. O2 data on the otherhand is expensive.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Joe
T-Mobile are yet to release the ROM upgrade which enables support of push e-mail. I have the XDA myself, but I believe it is possible to the iMate or QTek rom with the MDA. Have a search through the forum.
