Hello, I'm New To The Site But I Been Told You Guys Are Some Of The Most Talented People On The Net. Well Str8 To The Point, I Have The Wizard But I Hate Tmobile Internet Service So I Would Like To Know, If I Unlock It Will I Be Able To Use Cingulars Internet Service
Well if I get you right, you want to use the Internet service of another provider but using your regular SIM ....
that is not posible, since the internet conection of the provider works with their sim card and not with a specific phone sorry!!
No, I Will Get The Cingular Service But I Jus Want To Make SUre It Will Work Before I Make Any Moves
Oh in that case it's no prob.
look in the Forum for simunlocking ... the program is called lockwiz simply download it .. and youre ppc will work with every provider even overseas !!
Now that's simply using another SIM card ... you could have a little Trouble if you want to upgrade your CID and change the Tmobile software installed on youre phone though ... depending on your chip version.
Thanx Alot.

Here's the deal, I have a T-Mobile prepaid sim and I've already checked the (dutch) t-mobile website. It states that GPRS should work fine with a prepaid card ad you do not need to buy another card. However, no matter what I do, I can't request the GPRS settings or get what i do get working fine..
Help would be greatly appreciated
tons of people ask the same questions in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=11
as far as i know it all comes down to knowing the access point of ones phonecompany and possibly a signon name and pass (it's rare that it's used though)
if you dont see anybody asking the same question as you,
just try the next page or do a search excluded to that forum
containing something like "tmobile grps"
thnx for the reply, but I guess you didn't figure that I'm one of those people that can handle a search button.. Alas I didn't find anything that could be of any help though...
I did in the mean time develop a second problem, the XDA2 now reads the card a lot slower than before..
Is there a possibility that the card is malfunctioning? It's not the XDA, I've checked it with a Orange sim-card and it worked fine...
odd how is it slow ?
the sim contacts ?
login ?
personaly when i had to get grps working i phones my cellphone company and they said it would be on within 45mins (that it really took 3 days is beside the question )
then i went into connections and made a connection which i gave the name grps (but you can call it what ever you like)
then i choose cellphone (gprs) as connection
then i typed in the access point which i my case were just "internet"
then i opened IE then it pop'd up with a login name and password then i dident type anything and press'd ok then i were online
this is the default manual way of doing it
of cause i cant say if some phone companys do it different and
i know nothing of tmobil they are not even present as a company in this country, so sorry if i cant be of more help when it comes to the strange ways of tmobile
It takes a really lopng time with my sim to get a connection to the network, the coverage is good (checked it with my phone and another pda with t-mobile as well) and basically untill that time i can't load the sim-manager or anything.. nothing too bad, I just have to wait 5 minutes before the sim is loaded
cant you just destroy the sim and call for another and hopefully newer type which dont give issues ?
Well, for some weird reason my sim seems to be working fine again, still leaves the issue of trying to get GPRS working with pre-paid tho...
hi.
any one who know about my problems pls help...
ive bought a xda 2 from the net and it seems like i cant make any fonecall nor recives any fone calls via my fone. its seems like its been block but i only can recieves and send sms with it, the fone have been unlock. any one who know about this probles or how to resolved it pls help and would this fone works outside the uk (Brunei) help needed pls.....
If it is blocked in UK it will word in rest of the world, you need to unlock the phone or try an O2 sim card before you give up though.
have been unlock but cant make fone call
the fone have been unlock. which i can use the vodafone sim and o2 for sms.
a gsm triband phone will work on all gsm networks which use 900/1800/1900
if it's blocked even if the network support those frequency then maybe it's a imei nr block but then i suppose it would not be able to send sms
what makes it blocked
what makes it blocked in the first place. hope it will work back home in brunei.
suhardee, a phone is blocked if reported stolen or if a claim for insurance is paid out, once the insurers pay out they want to make sure that it cant be used again on the networks, would make more sense to reclaim the broken phones and get some of their money back by selling them.
hemmm
so basically ive bought a stolen phone or a fone which have been claim for its insurance. but just hope it works back home in brunei coz ive unlocked it already. thanks for clearing this up for me. but how would the fone compeny blockd it coz i didnt bought the fone with any sim card is it via the imei number? coz that is the logical explainations. i think it might work in brunei coz at home eventhow mobile is the same advance as in the UK but i dont think the mobile compeny in brunei is that advance.
this forum have a automatic dictionary which mean that if you hold your pointer on top of the place where you wrote imei then you'll get a popup explaining 100% what it is and where it's located
thanks
thanks every one who makes things clear for me... by this weekend i will know if he fone works at home or not.....

Yes....just read the forum, you will find here as much info as possible
One good tip: Don't play with stuff you know nothing about (I mean Roms), it could brick your device!!
Unlocking the phone will do 2 things;
1 - let you use it on any GSM network but you will need to add the data plan to access GPRS or Edge (the WAN).
2 - Allow you to flash different low level programs onto the device. Think of it this way, on your phone now you can set up an email service on Tmobile but when you move to Cingular that Tmobile program will still be there but useless. Now you can flash a new Rom which has some Cingular specific programs but you have to be careful because if you mess it up, you MDA becomes as they say a brick.
This is a great forum for learning about these things, try some of the simple things like Today screens or phone dialer screens. After a little you take the plunge like this newbie and flash a new rom, overclock it and generally just make it more useable than it is now.
okay i went to the cingular store and showed the guy the phone and he said it can work for regular phone calls and texting, but it wont be able to use the web and AIM, etc.
so when you guys say i have to add the data plan do you mean i gotta install somethin seperate to the phone? or do i gotta add the plan through cingular.
because the guy says i cant use the internet with it, so thats why i ask if i need to downloard somethin separate to the phone
You would expect that the guy behind the counter would know but he's probably clueless about what your asking him.
Cingular's network is GSM just like Tmobile. The data service is called either GPRS, Edge or the next generation 3G & you need to configure the phone to access that. I don't know the access point name for cingular but you should be able to find it some where in this forum, on Tmobile it's wap.voicestream.com. It's analogous to logging onto your wired ISP, you may or may not need a password. Once configured the phone will log you on and then you'll be able to access the net or email etc.
Worse case is you can flash a Cingular specific rom.
wait so how do you configure the phone for edge?
because when i went 2 settings then connections, it had GPRS Setting
I just buyed Touch Pro / Raphael from vodafone without branding (their hotline told me) and I need to use it with my t-mobile sim card until company contract would switched to vodafone.
I can do phone calls and also got internet configuration sms from t-mobile with "correct" settings. I also can receive emails from a pop3 account,
but I am not able to start eighter internet explorer or opera to get internet access.
When I use a prepaid vodafone sim card, opera will run, of course I changed back to vodafone settings.
My problem is that I need support, because I am on a business trip in dubai and need to have internet access with my phone.
ROM 1.90.162.5 Ger
09/24/08
Radio 1.02.25.19
Protocol 52.33.25.174
Many thanks in advance!!
Many thanks for your support! I am in trouble and nobody seems able or willing to help.
I have only internet access when i go in the hotel lobby and ask someone to share his computer...
i dont really understand what you want..
you want to use internet on your phone with your vodafone sim.
But its not connecting or....................... ??????
Raphael is vodafone branded or not, I do not exactly know.
I have a t-mobile sim card.
phonecalls and pop3 download of emails working, therefore I think it is not sim locked, but even with the correct internet profile from t-mobile installed, either opera nor explorer get internet access.
Do I need to supercid the phone?
Thans for your reply!!
Hmm.. i have to say that i dont have the answere.
but maybe post this also in the Raphael part of the forum.
maybe they know.
Under HTC Touch Elf, I had to do this :
in start menu : "settings"
"connections" tab
"connection setup" icon
then select my country and operator.
I'm not sure it'll work with a Raphael one... but anyway, try it!
I know for a fact that my original T Mobile USA HD2 phone worked, because I made a call to T Mobile support with T mobile sim card.
Then I unlocked the phone with cellunlock.net, tried my russian sim card - it worked. Then I got a message from my russian provider saying that roming feature was turned off, I couldn't make calls, I tohught it was a problem.
Then I installed Komar's ROM, and now it doesn't work at all! Not with T Mobile SIM card, not with AT&T, not with Megafon (Russia). There are no bars at all.
Others phones of the same providers work at the same areas.
What might be the problem?
I just performed hard reset with T-mobile sim card inside and this is what I see:
Multiple connection settings were found, please select one: T-Mobile, Tuyo Mobile
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I select T mobile. Maybe that's the reason?
also remember go back to the rom thread and let those guys in that thread help u for ur rom even the cook himself may help
Never mind, there turned out to be a problem with my account. I have $0. Thanks anyway
