Hi,
Does anyone know if tmobile make additional charges for non web traffic on their basic web and walk plan. For example will I be charged for acessing an SSH server.
Hi,
You shouldn't receive any additional charges, the Pro package allows you to use 3GB and the phone as a modem, whilst the Max package allows 10GB and VOIP use.
I'm not entirely sure how they check but seeing as the basic package advertises internet on your mobile, I dont see how a pocket pc ssh client would be breaking that.
I'm thinking of upgrading to the Max so that I can use skype and I'm starting to use alot of data now I've got Orb set up...!
Hope this helps,
Just spotted this on the site...
(Basic should)
Not to be used for other activities (including but not limited to): modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video downloads, internet phone calls and instant messaging.
The question is what does not limited to cover. I note somewhere else on their site it says you can't download pdf, xls,doc or mp3 on basic. it's really not very clear and the support staff don't seem not understand what an SSH server is. I don't understand what's wrong with just having a simple usage cap.

My carrier has two diffrent rates for surfing. data connection and wap connection. the wap one is much cheaper than the data one. i've been told by my carrier that surfing from the wizard is considered as data since i can view normal html web pages and use messenger, e-mail, etc..
my question: Is there any way to surf wap using this phone (like installing a diffrent web browser?)?
thanks..
This sounds strange to me, because the difference (from operator's POV) should be which access point you use. When WAP was free for me, I browsed everything from my SE P800 with no additional cost.
But you can't access e-mails, ICQ, ftp etc. via a wap access point, only HTML or WML pages!
I have the settings in my phone for wap surfing. but i can't see any normal html sites while using it.
the thing is that there is a way of configuring a regular pc to use the phone as a modem and then access everything via WAP, using a proxy server. i thought maybe i can do the same thing in the phone itself.
Anyone using x-series from 3 UK on their universal. If so what are the settings for the internet and how does skype work on 3 ? Do you just download Skype for Mobile?
Thanks
Hi Samsul,
As far as i know, Skype on x-series is a different proposition altogether from Skype for Windows Mobile. The two applications are different. Skype on x-series works over the GSM network so you can make and receive Skype calls anywhere in return for a small monthly fee to 3 (i think it's £5?). Skype for WM on the other hand works for free over WiFi (like the PC version) or over a 3G cellular connection if you have one (beware using it on 3G without an unlimited data plan though). You can download Skype for WM free directly from the Skype website.
I don't believe the x-series application would execute on the Universal as i imagine it was designed specifically for Symbian OS but i may be wrong. Let me know if you find otherwise
Hope that helps.
just added x series silver
I have just added x series silver to my 3 contract and using it to surf internet and skype on my XDA Exec without any problem.
You would have been able to do this before as 3 allows full access now, the thing to be careful of, is do the applications on the X Series use a special proxy to differentiate between the plan you have purchased, and full open internet access.
Be careful.
I was able to use Skype before 3 activated x series, but I wasn't able to browse the internet apart from mobile.three.co.uk.
Everytime I typed in a web address (ie news.bbc.co.uk), I used to get the message ' You can only use this service on a 3 handset' or something similar to this. Now all websites work fine.
Also, if I was being charged for data, would this show up on 'Amount Spend' section of My 3? Anyone know?
Thanks
I decided to buy this phone primarily because of the windows OS. As I waiting on delivery I wanted to ask a few questions.
Does the wing have a full html client?
I assume you can switch browsers to something better like firefox assuming there is something for the mobile os.
What about apps like google talk or google maps? Do those work on this phone? I really hope they do. I want to be able to sit my butt on the couch and google talk/chat and surf the net useing wifi. Can I assume that can be done? Finally..regarding google talk or something else like skype, can I use the microphone on the cell phone to communicate with these voip programs and bypass t-mobile's hotspot or data service packages? I assume that because it uses wifi, I should be able to use any wifi app that would work on a normal computer. I believe I can treat this phone like a mini-computer since it has wifi and windows mobile. Is that a safe assumption?
In regards to the memory issues...is a 4 gig sd card enough or should I be looking for bigger?
Regarding the html browser :
Keep in mind because of screen size, there are some limitations of course. But you do have some alternatives.
Opera, Minimo to name a few. The favorite seems to be opera.
Google maps works fine, you can find the download here

There is no actual google client for googletalk for WM6, but I use www.palringo.com which connects to all the instant messengers.
Skype for mobile is here
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/
There are various VoIP programs out there, that you can find on these forums... just search "VoIP"
Yes, you will be able to use your phone via WIFI for anything you want to do.
Hi everyone,
I recently added an unlimited texting plan to my phone. It's so useful that I replaced my SE K750i with a Kaiser to be able to text faster. The problem is that now I love all the internet features of the phone, but I can't really afford to add an unlimited data plan to my account.
So here's what I was thinking: I've seen different tunneling systems that let one go online through different services. One of them was IP over DNS which let one surf the internet on a protected wifi network as long as there was a public DNS server reachable. The other was a IP over ICMP which worked the same way, only over ping packets. I'd like to build something similar, only over SMS. I know it'd be extremely slow, but it'd be a lifesaver for doing basic internet browsing, such as checking a Wikipedia article, or updating RSS feeds, etc..
My question is, does something like this exist? If not, what would be the best way to approach this? What are some obstacles I could find on the way? What's the best way for the server computer to communicate with the phone? Right now, the only way I can think of is by sending emails to the phone's email address.
What do you guys think?
Thanks for your time,
Hernan

T-Mobile is the only operator to give customers the Mobile Internet for a fixed-price. We never charge our customer's more than they expect for their Mobile Internet in the UK.
Therefore you'll never need to worry about how many emails you've sent, how long you've been on-line or the ‘data / GB’s’
Browsing means looking at websites and checking email, but not watching videos, downloading files or playing games. We’ve got a fair use policy but ours means that you'll always be able to browse the internet, it’s only when you go over the fair use amount that you won’t be able to download, stream and watch video clips.
So Whats Changing? - From 1st February 2011 we will be aligning our fair use policies so our mobile internet service will have fair use of 500MB.
What Does This Mean? - We’ll always let you email and browse the internet and you’ll never pay more than you agree to. We do have a fair use policy but ours is there to make sure we deliver the best service possible to all our customers. This means that you’ll always be able to browse the internet.
So remember our Mobile Broadband and internet on your phone service is best used for browsing which means looking at your favorite websites like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, BBC News and more, checking your email and looking for information, but not watching videos or downloading files.
If you want to download, stream and watch video clips, save that stuff for your home broadband.
