Hello,
I currently have an unlimited phone data plan from Cingular for $19.95 for my 8125/Wizard, which uses Edge.
(This probably isn't completely kosher, but I'm not going to pay more for the PDA Unlimited Connect plan unless I have to).
Question is - will this plan only work with Edge data access? Or will 3G HSDPA work fine w/ this plan?
In a nutshell - just wondering if Cingular has seperate data plans for 3G. I'm planning to buy the HTC Kaiser as soon as it is available, and I'm hoping I can continue using my existing $19.95 data plan for unlimited 3G data access
3G works fine. Cingular tells you that you must have the PDA plan in order for it to work but that that is a lie. I have an HTC P3600 with the the unlimited $19.95 plan and I get perfect 3G signal. They say that the $19.95 media works plan is only for "smart phones".

I have the T-Mobile MDA and thinking of getting their $29.99 unlimited internet plan. Can it use my phone as a modem with this plan on my laptop to get on the net?
sure a google for "xda as modem pdf"
gave this
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_spec.html
but it may be flatrate but that dont change the fact that
it's soo slow it's close to useless imho
You can use your phone as a modem with settings you can get over the internet. However at 60 to 130 kbps, its pretty slow.
I was with Verizon where I could hook up much higher speeds.
One good thing about T-mobile is that with the $29.99 plan, you can use their Hot Spots. If your laptop has WiFi, you can hook up directly at broadband speeds without the phone. Software and instructions are available at their website. This is not bad as their are hotspots in all FedEx/Kinkos, Starbucks, and many hotels. In Germany, the hotspots are everywhere.
Hookng up your laptop via a DUN (Dial Up Networking) connection with TMO works if you're in a pinch but it's slow. If you're going to hook up often, I'd go verizion with an HTC Apache (xv6700). The data plan will cost you about $49 per month.
I received US T-Mobile MDA from Gartha Wireless. I told them that i want sk data plan, but they gave me basic plan, so i cant use instant messanging, etc (it will charge me if i use IM, email)...
I called t-mobile, i told them that i want use sk plan for MDA, they not accept sk plan for MDA, but they told me that i can use total internet plan 49.99 a month for MDA or replace to sk3...
so is there way that i can use data plan that include instant messanging, email?
Thanks
FYI: im little good at english,but ill do my best
My recommendation would be to phone them and switch the plan to the blackberry plan - whether you use BB or not it gives you access to the web and data at a lower cost than the internet plan.

TIP: (T-Mobile users)
You can use the cheap $5 (I think maybe $6 or $7 now) a month plan and get FULL Edge/Gprs data.

Yep, I successfully use it on my 6945 and it works great!
I get Edge as default
Hello all I have a HTC/Fuze (Raphael) with AT&T and can access the web just fine. I however did not get a data plan on the the phone..just an unlimited text to talk family plan. This is an offered plan in case you do not want a data plan. My question is how can you tell if you are using your wifi to access the internet and not the att network. I don't want to be charged for using the internet (since i have no data plan)...I went to the att store yesterday and they told me I can still get charged for using their network to access the net even though I have no data plan... can anyone help me with this question?
Thanks.

you need to use the HTC data connection application. you should be able to totally disallow any internet connection.
I am using an Orbit 2 on O2 UK, when wifi is connected it will only use it until disconnected or out of range, then reverts back to 3G.
You will know when it reverts back because the speed of the internet will slow significantly.
I completely disable/delete the medianet and AT&T ISP profiles so that it doesn't ever connect over 3G.
I have the same setup as you (but with a Tilt, no data plan). Download Modaco No Data cab, install and disable the ISP (the first option). This will turn off data usage but still allow you to send and recieve text and MMS.
Hey, i am about to purchase a Xperia X1. I am on T-mobile USA
Do i need to get the 20.00 Unlimited data ? or do i get the 5.99 Unlimited T-zones because the phone is only EDGE?
Thanks guys, great community
As far as I know, the 5.99 tzone deal is no longer available. however, the code can be found on howardforums. it pretty much works the same way as long as you have the right settings.
Technically, you're not supposed to know this.
Depending on what you need to do on your phone, you may or may not need the unlimited data plan.
If all you plan to do is use email, then you can tell the techy that you want the $9.99 100mb plan. Just tell him/her that you just want email and don't want to have to pay 24.99 for that.
If you plan on streaming media and such, then you'll need the unlimited data plan which I believe is $24.99
As far as I know t-zones is a service that offers the download of T-Mobile specific content only. It doesn't provide you internet capabilities.
Good luck!
yeah right
Just got X1 and all day try to connect to T-zones, called T-mobile, they said i should get smartphone data plan in order to use internet on this device.
Thats curious, because i had before P1i, P910i, Samsung innov8 they're all smartphones and worked with my t-zones!
BTW, t-zones is not only for special content, i was able to see whatever site, check email, use google maps. I just was not able to watch youtube clips and internet radio etc...
Any ideas?
dont get unlimited data. what you should do is:
register your tmobile account on the web, incase you havnet already
choose your phone as a razr or something
add tzones plan
set up your xperia
and voila.
theres no point in getting unlimited data, as tmobile doesnt support xperia's 3g ( i hate tmobil )
tzones has been working for me since the wizard.
same for me just get the tzones enabled on your account then go into the connection settings and change it from wap.voicestream.com to epc.tmobile.com and your good to go!
You all are lucky!
I have to purchase the Blackberry plan. But at least I have unlimited everything......but for $40 a month I had better have unlimited everything.
I'm on the 5.99 T-Zones and I have everything working. Email. web its all there. No restrictions. I'm also able to stream videos off my computer via Orb without a problem. I wish I would have gotten it when it was 2.99
Thanks guys! Everything is working with epc.tmobile.com!!!!
I didnt see this APN before, is it somewhere on t-mobile site???
I was almost going to get that unlimited or try 9.99 plan :-E
