I'm not sure if any of you have had this problem.
I've been using t-zones for my imate jam for more than a year to surf the web and IM my friends. A few weeks ago it stopped working and I finally got fed up and called them to see what the problem was. After being on the phone for more than an hour trouble shooting with them, they finally told me that they updated the system.
They said the t-zones connection no longer supported port 80 connections (internet connection). This explained a lot since I am able to connect to t-zones, but not get any content from my browser.
Has anyone had this same problem? Is there a way around it besides getting the $20 Internet Feature from t-mobile?
Try to put this into the HTTP proxy setting:
HTTP proxy: getmorespeed.voicestream.com port 8080
Hope this will work out for you.
And also, its not longer $20, now its $30, they bundle it with Hotspot. No more option to have just the GPRS.
This kinda defeats the whole point of having a PDA phone for me if I can't get cheap internet on it. For $30 I'd expect to get an EDGE connection, not some crappy 5kbs connection.
Oh well.
so, the proxy above doesn't work out for you?
I still have the t-zone for $6 month and my connection still works so far with the proxy above.
well I'll have to call tmobile and have them activate my tzones again (I hate paying for unusable services) I'll keep you posted with any updates. Are you able to use the wap.voicestream.com still or does that one no longer work for you?
You can do it on-line in the T-Mobile web site. Just re-check the T-MobileWeb option and tomorrow morning it will start working again.
If it does not work out, then you go back to the T-Mobile web site and uncheck the T-Mobile web again. And the changes will be effective the following day. Then you will pay 1/30 times $6 for that 1 day service.
I still use wap.voicestream.com with the proxy setting I mentioned above.
Generally I can browse the web, and I can sync to my company Exchange server.
for some reason the check box in grayed out and I'm not able to check the stupid box. I'll wait till tomorrow to see if there is any change.
Thank You... That worked for me...
ok so I've got t-zones back up and running and I've set the address to getmorespeed.voicestream.com but I'm not sure what the port 8080 is? I searched through all my settings and was not able to find anyhting that looked similar to this. does anyone have a screen capture of it to give me a better idea where to look?
I think you set it wrong.
The access point name (APN) in the GPRS setting is still wap.voicestream.com
After you set that up, then you go to the Proxy Setting, and add the HTTP proxy: getmorespeed.voicestream.com and when you click Advanced, you will see the default proxy port number is 80. Change it to 8080.

I've found instructions on their site, and various other places, but no joy. I can make GPRS connections and send/receive SMS just fine, but MMS simply times out.
mms setting tmobile usa
i might be able to help ill post tomorrow with the settings
T-Mobile MMS
First... In order for you to receive MMS messages, your GPRS has to be connected to wap.voicestream.com
2nd in your MMS application you need to point the MMS application to use the wap.voicestream.com profile.
3rd. The gateway address is listed as 216.155.165.050 well.. I'm here to tell you .. that leading 0 messes everything up, just get rid of it and use 216.155.165.50 instead.
This should get you connected.
Brandon
I'm unable to connect to wap.voicestream.com, so it seems I need to get them to authorize it...
What is the server address to put in the MMS settings? I have:
http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Authorize
Yeah.. Have them set you up and let them know that you have a device that uses Picture Messaging.
Well, that works if I manually connect to the WAP gateway and set the MMS software to use "The internet" as the connection. Thanks!
Any ideas on how to make it auto-dial the WAP connection when it needs to, so I can leave the normal gateway as the internet default? Otherwise I have to switch it manually every time I want to use the VPN.
With these settings, it's still not working for me. What should I put for the port number?
Use port 9201
Are any of you getting free internet anymore? I stopped using my phone for a while, but I haven't gotten free internet in a while and its buggine me. Someone suggested signing up for t-zones and then using wap.voicestream.com, but I don;t want to waste the money unless I have to. Thanks.
Port 9201 worked! Thanks, imagine_einstein!!
So I have read plenty of times about people access the Tmobile data without having a data package. Currently I do not have a data package, I took it off my plan. I wanted to know if someone could help me out with the connection settings for a Tmobile wing. I keep finding instructions for free internet but its for the dash and i dont have a couple options they are asking for. I have a Wing with touch it 2.3. What do i need to do, delete the old settings and add new connections?? help would be awesome, anybody that is working with the wing or that rom that could help, or point me to a thread, i would appreciate it tremendously. Also, i'm in Orlando and i have seen posts of people here in orlando with the dash getting free internet.
Thanks guys!
I've always had the data plan, so I don't know. But here's a post I found in another forum

Thats just about correct. I actually just figured it out before you posted. Thank you anyway.
BTW any possibilities of making the homepage google?
Im answering my own question but thought others would find it usefull too.
To do this you have to edit the registry. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/AboutURLs. Then there is a value for "home" Change it to whatever. You have to put http://
The dataplan is only $20, lol.. I'm gonna laugh when these guys try and get "free" internet then all of sudden end up with a $400 data bill.
For years, I've been paying close to $40 a month for the data plan ... so when they took it down to $19, I'm not complaining.
I had the data plan when it was $9.99 or $11.99 @ month and all the sudden they canceled out the whole data plan and stuck me with t-zones. I got back on the data plan but was bummed they screwed me over. In case anyone doesn't know the t-mobile data package comes with "Hotspots" but you have to configure it on a separate web page. Good Luck getting CS to explain how to do it they will try and sell you another package along with the $19.99 fee. But "Hotspots" is part of the data package already.
Well, I had the data plan for a long while and realized that the amount that i use it, it truely isnt worth the money for the amount that i use it. I am on a flex pay account, prepaid, so i pay for my service a month in advance and I keep no money in my flex account, which is where they deduct charges that i pay for per service (data, minutes after i exceed my total, text messages etc) I dont know how they would charge me if that was the case
I use the data plan like crazy... various of my email accounts come to my phone directly and I use IM and all sorts of craziness on there ... so I would die without it. hah
is it free???
someone plz reply,
i dont have any data plan on my tmob wing,and i did setting in wap according to above and i am able to get internet,
i have question is it free??
i just started using it recently and i have not got any bill yet,do they charge for this???
help plz i am newbie did search but couldnt fine any post which say free...
plz
for someone using open touch 3.0 biggy can they help with the proper settings? i am unable to get this to work. when i have it setup i goto IE and load pages the error i always get is Error not authorized.....
worked flawlessly thx

The default AT&T configuration on the xperia is to use wap.cingular
For those who don't know, there are two internet access configurations for AT&T:
access point: wap.cingular
username: [email protected]
pw: cingular1
access point: isp.cingular
username: [email protected]
pw: cingular1
Does anybody know which one works better? I had heard isp.cingular is supposed to be better, but for some reason it is not working and my phone gives me a "cannot connect" error message. It works fine on wap.cingular and I have to turn off the proxy settings to get slingplayer to work.
it depends on the type of internet plan you have if you have the medianet plan use wap if you have ppc connect use isp
i use medianet on my 8125
mine still doesnt work with neither settings. does it matter if you have the 14.99 media net or the 29.99 would that make a difference with the xperia x1?
To use the ISP access point you must contact tech support to get it provisioned to your account..
I must use it to gain vpn access to several of my clients networks. No proxies used .....
_____________________________________
To access MediaNet WEBSITE!!!, you must use the WAP access point!
Also you must have tthe proxies activated!!
Proxies setting::
http
server: wireless.cingular.com
port: 80
Socks
server: localhost
Port: 1080
Socks4
If you do not set the proxies, you can acess the Internet but not any of the associated sites with Medianet!!!
hth,
Stuart
I found that if you use the autoconfiguration on the phone.. you have to do the following:
1) go to setting > connection > manage my existing connection
2) then click on media net
3) click next until user name etc... then clear user name and password and click advance
4) click on Use IP header compresion
5) click on and finish
6) uncheck "this network use a proxy server to connect to the internet" in the proxy setting tab
I have to do this everytime when I swap out my att sim and back into the phone before I can use the internet and send mms (I can probably use internet w/o doing all this..... but definitely not mms)
enjoy~

I don't understand why you'd have to do that.
Are you on one of the regular MEdia Net plans, or are you on the tethering plan?
i tried all of the above methods the result is i am able to use all other internet applications like google maps MSN etc
but only cannot browse any websites using IE or Opera on HSPA
i am using a iPhone 3G SIM on my X1a maybe that's causing the problem?
Yes it is, In order to use your Iphone Sim card for browsing the internet you have to call att and have a tech person set it up, I think it means dropping the Iphone plan!!

I am on the media plan... I have no idea why I have to do that either but if I dont....I will not be able to send mms... thats for sure
btw.... dropping the iphone plan isnt necessarily a bad thing.... given the cheapest iphone 3G plan cost you $70.... I can get a $60 plan like my original iphone with 3G connection on the X1

these settings are readily available on the internet.
If anyone gets charged any fees for using this dont complain to me. this is not exactly the best setup but it does work. all it is is the tzones proxy work around with a step or 2 added nothing that hasnt been posted before. but still its not my info i'm just passing it along.

Hi everyone, I've made a rather curious discovery. I have an OLD Nokia E71 which I have been using since my Galaxy S3's screen cracked. I am part of a family plan on T-Mobile, and am not supposed to have data enabled on my line. One day, I was messing around with the settings on my phone, out of boredom. I switched around the APN's a little, and opened the facebook app. To my shock, I found I was able to connect to Facebook WITHOUT a data plan, when I used the t-zones APN. I then delved into the phone settings to see if I could find out the specifications of the t-zones APN. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find much, but I've posted below the settings I could find. Now, the question is, would anyone be able to figure out how to use this on Android? Note: I tested some other apps using the t-zones APN, but none of them were able to access the internet. Only Facebook worked.
Connection name: t-zones
Access point name: wap.voicestream.com
Homepage: http://wap.myvoicestream.com
Data Bearer: Packet Data
Network Type: IPv4
Proxy server address: 216.155.165.050
Proxy port number: 8080
I want to try to duplicate these settings on Android, however, I have basically no knowledge on APNs whatsoever. Any help is appreciated! :laugh:

Could it be linked to this? http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/free-facebook-phone-users-without-data-plans/
I was wondering the same thing myself. However, I figured it out in early December, well before T-Mobile made its announcement.
