T-MobileWeb US - Networking

I previously had the T-Mobile Web plan working on my BA without using the proxy.. now all of a sudden it has stopped working. Can anyone else confirm this?

Still works for me.
You used to be able to cancel the T-Zones/T-Mobile Web after setting it up, and still enjoy the service without paying a gargantuan $6 / month. Now you must be a little more honest, and stay signed up with T-Zones.
Be sure your settings are:
Access point: wap.voicestream.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
If you use NetFront/Opera, you must manually set proxy in them as well.

I set up the proxy and it is working again.. but it has been working without the proxy for the longest time

Black,
Same here, I use to be able to connect on my 02 atom just fine with tmobile...i can't do it anymore. However I just did the proxy from above and now i can connect again...but it seems slower...
anyone else has this problem?

T-Mobile MDA US - GPRS Internet Services (T-Zones, etc)

What are you guys using to connect to the internet? I can do everything I want with T-zones unlimited, using the proxy... however, if I use the proxy, I can't connect to wi-fi because it wants to try to connect thru the proxy. What services are you using and what are your settings?
Thanks,
Danny
i will use
I wont get my MDA till monday according to UPS, but when i get it i plan on getting the Total Internet plan for 29.99. it includes GPRS, EDGE and Hot Spots. That is the plan the tmobile is advertizing with this phone.
I have the T-Mobile total internet package. I am not using the proxy server, and it connects to Hotspot just great.
However, I have not tried to access T-Zones. Well, I tried once, and got a network solutions 'page coming soon' thing. I doubt I have it correct. lol
hot spot
how does the hot spot autentication work?
im assuming they made it so i wouldnt be able to just put in my username and password on my laptop and log it into a hotspot.
I have unlimited internet 19$ plan.
I don't use any proxy server.
I don't think you can use the regular t-zone on this phone ($9 plan).
Otherwise all good, just use: internet2.voicestream.com in the gprs setup and the rest emty.
my 5.99 tmobileweb with proxy works very well with any website using internet explorer mobile. it doesn't work, however, with outlook or any other mail client or application that doesn't know how to use proxy. i'm glad that virtual earth 1.5 works well even with my tmobileweb plan.
as for the problem that the original poster described, in the connection settings, i created a connection especially for wifi. and to switch between wifi and tmobileweb, i go to 'select networks' and choose which ever connection i want in the two drop-down lists that i have.
Proxy Setup
msafi,
What are the settings for setting up the proxy? I used the proxy with my Nokia 6600 just fine, but, cannot get it to work on the MDA Wizard.
Thanks, SK

T-MOBILE USA GPRS HELP

Hi, i finally got the unlock code from Tmobile and i am now able to use my phone.
I am trying to setup the GPRS with Tmobile USA. I went onle and found some information, put it in and setup GPRS, but it does not seem to work. When i try to open a wap site with the GPRS, like wap.yahoo.com, it does not come up.
I do not pay for the GPRS, but from what i heard, with out devices, we can use it free, but not full web functionality. We can use pop, imap and stuff, and also get mms, and access wap site. Please if any one knows any configurations that work it will be greatly appreciated.
Try setting up your Proxy settings.
They changed their network requirement recently for Port 80 (HTTP). Be nice if they told everyone though!
Proxy setting should be:
216.155.165.50 on port 8080
According to the Tmobile sites I've frequented, there is no such thing as "free web" anymore and it disappeared months ago. Last time I checked personally, the cheapest you could get away with is the T-Zones data plan....whatever they call it now. I think it's 6 or 7 dollars a month and lets you use wap.voicestream.com as an access point. If you do that and use the proxy server 216.155.165.50, port 8080, you can get to most of the web. Recently, however, I've been reading that even that loophole is slowly being closed by area so while it mght work for me, it may not for you and it might not work for me tomorrow. You can certainly try it using the above access point and proxy setting, but don't be surprised if it does nothing without your paying for a data package.
Yeah, it seems they are slowly shutting down that "function" as mine works sporadically now. Damn. It was a bargain at $4.99/month for the last yr or so
yep - welcome to my world of 10 USD for 2MB a month ! :-(
A bargain indeed. I'm waiting to see if you can do the proxy workaround with your own proxy server. I've had the $20/mo package for ages and it's well worth it but my wife and son have the $5/mo package and use Tmo's http for web access and my own socks proxy for MSN Messenger. A fixed IP address is a big help but you might be able to get away with using dyndns.org for that, too. I guess we'll find out soon as more and more people find out they're starting to get what they paid for.
Well i'm sort of bummed out right now.
My t-mobile Tzones unlimited internet is working again, if I use the proxy. That's dandy. If I turn on my WI-FI and connect to my home wifi, however, I have to go into connections and turn off the proxy for my tmobile gprs in order for me to connect to the internet.
Perhaps I'm doing something horribly wrong, or is this the only way to do it? Please let me know.........
questionable
I have tried all i know, the proxy is blocking my wifi from connecting to the net, so i had to take it out. It says i am connected but i cannot seem to pull up any site, so i paid for the $5.99 t-zone deal, it says it might take a while to provision.
Now i am trying to test the connection by sending MMS, it has been a while i usually don't send MMS. How do i send MMS to a friend in london, i'm in the states, i know it is their mobile [email protected], just don't know what the something is. I know the US version is [email protected]. Thanks.
Also, my MDA PRo gives me an option of WAP1.2 or WAP 2.0, what is the diffrence?

Walk into a tmobile store and tell them that you want to pay for a sidekick plan for a compatible euro piece of hardware.
It will cost you $30 usd but its unlimited gprs
Create a new connection and use wap.voicestream.com as the access point. You might still have to call tech support if you don't bring the universal with you because the way I understand it, they ping the simchip and grab the IMEI over the air...may be better to just bring it.
Works great for me. I pop my verizon dsl mail all day with this baby
Now SOMEONE GET ME MY PUSH MAIL!!!
Try this settings...I hope this helps.

P3600 in USA, T-Mobile

Does anyone have any experiance in using P3600 in USA with T-Mobile? In particular, I am having hard time getting to Internet and receiving MMS messages.
Because of the specifics of the USA cell and PDA market, getting a PDA working with a service provider (if you don't buy it from the service provider itself) can be tough. I have set up my Trinity to connect to EDGE, it shows the "E" on the top of the bars, but it still has a hard time browsing the Internet. There is not much help offered on their website, so I was hoping may be someone has had an experience setting it for T-Mobile.
Any help would be appreciated.
Nerses
you'll probably have to call T-Mobile and get their MMS and internet settings, or it might be somewhere on their website.
I have set it according to their instructions here: http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm21625.htm?
That shows my phone connected to EDGE by I am still not able to access the Internet.
I've just spent a week in the USA with my Orange M700 - everything worked fine, probably gonna have some horrible roaming bills though as it's still on the original orange account
I'm in the US on T-Mobile, no problem with Internet. The only thing I had to do was enter the server address -- internet2.voicestream.com, and all works.
MMS has been a bit more trying. I do get inbound notifications of MMS coming in, but haven't played around with it enough to get it working. Then again, I don't use MMS so it hasn't been a pressing issue. I'll play with it tomorrow and see what I get.
dada21,
Connecting to internet2.voicestream.com helped! Thank you.
On T-Mobile website they were suggesting connecting to wap.voicestream.com and using a proxy server. But once I took out the proxy server and used the server you suggested it worked fine.
With the MMS messages- yes, I get only the inbound notifications too. Don't get the actual message.
Glad internet2 worked for you.
Getting MMS working was a *****. Here's what I did:
I set up a new connection under "Work" to wap.voicestream.com
Under Messaging, MMS, settings:
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 9201
Server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via: Work
Sending size limitation: 248K
WAP version: WAP 1.2
I received MMS perfectly but didn't test sending yet.
Let us know how it works for you.

8525 not working with Tmo total internet

I just upgraded from tmobileweb to the total internet plan, and I am using an unlocked at&t 8525. The only way I can use anything on the connection on my phone is if I set the access point as wap.voicestream.com and set up all proxy servers to 216.155.165.50.
I thought as soon as I got total internet that I wouldn't have to set up any proxy settings on my phone. Any ideas why my phone is doing this, or am I completely off on my assumption on the total internet plan?
you should be able to use internet2.voicestream.com as your access point for all data transfers except MMS. for MMS you still need to se wap.voicestream.com
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/phonefirst
try that link and copy the settings they recommend for the Wing.
I tried the settings for the Wing on that site, and it still doesn't work. I tried to test it out using Internet Explorer, and when I try a simple web site it immediately gives me an error stating it cannot connect with current connection settings.
When I do connect on a WiFi connection, everything works fine. When I had it set up with proxies and all, IE would use a WSP protocol in the URL (wsp://www.google.com) whereas the WiFi connection would use normal HTTP (http://www.google.com).
With some reg edits, it works!
UPDATE: I contacted T-mobile Tier 3 support and they were as stumped as I was. On a hunch, I kept the setup without proxy and had the access point to internet2.voicestream.com, and tried Opera. It works like a charm!
I recalled a spot on the HTC Tytn WIKI about hard-coded proxy settings for IE. This made sense since everything else seemed to work except IE. I went to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and removed the 'EnableAutoDetect' key completely.
Did a soft reset on my phone, loaded up IE, and it works like it should be. Now I'm very very happy!

WAP issues.....

OK So I have the T-Mobile Wing, I had it unlocked and am going with Cincinnati Bell now because they have an Unlimited EVERYTHING plan for 60 a month. So Ive unlocked the network and everything works fine except WAP Internet. It connects to get my GMAIL ok. But when I attempt to load IE and a website. It says cannot find page. Here is the WAP setup i used. I know the Wing isnt the p5500 but its similar and the settings are the same throughout every phone. Anyone able to help me? Cincinnati bell tried to tell me my phone was incompatable with their network, but then the wanted to sell me a phone lol. Like I said EVERYTHING works except WAP Internet......
If you have unlimited internet access, you do not need to set the WAP which routes all data through a proxy.
I had to setup a WAP modem on the herald though. it wouldnt just connect. so i enter the proxy cincy bell gives. it all connects. but wont load a webpage
