Need Help got a Sidekick PrePaid Sim card in my Hermes everything works Text,Phone Use but can't get the internet to work Did a search for the Settings all i got was the Access Point Name : hiptop.t-mobile.com it connects but i need the proxy sever address does anyone know what it is
why dont you check the t-mobile website since this has nothing to do with hermes it has to do with t-mobiles WAP internet settings
Try this its for the people that have the 5.99 tzones plan
proxy 216.155.165.50 and then click advanced and change the HTTP port to 8080
one thing dough how did you get the sidekick sim did you call tmobile
post if it works
I tried that did not see any all i need is the proxy settings and the internet should work
I did the proxy 216.155.165.50 port to 8080
it connects but cant get any pages to show up
i called them and told them that i had a sidekick and they set up the prepaid sim that i had so now i get unlimited text just need the internet to work but with out the right proxy settings all i will get is the unlimited text
don't have hermes but i like the idea of using a prepaid sidekick sim for internet on one of my mda's
did they ask for a imei number
yeah they did ask for the imei number everything went ok if i could get this to work all i would have to do is get a Dual SIM adapter and have Paid/prepaid SIM cards so i can have unlimited Text and internet for a dollar a day and switch over to use my minutes that would be so sweet
u can just sign up for the 19.99 blackberry add on....the go to net settings and change it to wap.voicestream.com

Any luck? This still seems like a good idea
the tmobile sidekick plan only works with the sidekick. You need regular phone internet and it will work. i believe its a daily usage charge. also you should be connecting to wap.voicestream.com when you get that settled.
I second this.
You cannot use the Danger proxy on the Hermes. It will not work. Many people have tried using this and also the Danger settings for Fido up here in Canada it won't work.
The proxy will recognize that you are not using a Danger device and as such if it can, it will use your Telco's instead which you will get charge their regular rate. You will know when you get your bill at the end of the month.
This is for a pre-paid sim not contract sim. And anyways US tmobile does not offer internet service just like that you have to get a plan.
I posted a solution on this you mite whant to see my post hope it helps

I am trying to configure my wizard (8125 lokiwiz unlocked) to work on my tmobile data plan.I don't have the unlimited internet and hotspot plan for tmobile, i have the unlimited WAP plan. I just can't figure out how to get it to work, the tmobile tech people didnt sound experienced with the wizard but they said its possible. Do any of you know teh correct settings and how to enter them. I was able to work it out on WM2003 but WM5 is really confusing. Perhaps someone with an MDA and the similar plan could let me know what theirs is configured for.

I saw the issue of tmobile's WAP discussed I believe on howardforums.com . At least from what I remembered from the discussion was that tmobile was to be fading out its WAP service which also had unintended consequences for people using tmobile's blackberry sevices. I did however download the tmobile cab files from club-imate which placed a wap configuration for tmobile in My Work Network configurations setup. Good luck.
Bro, its simple, go to settings, connections, connections, then add a new modem connection, Then put in where it says "enter a name for the connection" T-Mobile GPRS Wap" or what ever your want. Then below select GPRS where it says select a modem. click on next after that and enter in wap.voicestream.com then click on next and then finish. You do not need to put anything else in. Thats it your are done. I have five PPC from the XDA on up and no problems on any.
Cheers,
Mike
thanks mike, hmm now the phone just says locating... if i try to load a wap site like wap.yahoo.com for instance. I am connected to the GPRS connection, its just not loading up sites.
hey eb, was that cab from an original tmobile rom, or was it part of the euro tmobile roms that was just released. I have been looking for a copy of the tmobile rom from back in nov.

The tmobile cab I got from clubimate is for the US, and as far as I can tell it is not the euro tmobile settings. I also tried the wap connect and got dumped into my GPRS connection to. The steps Mike described is how it looks in my network connections. I remember back when tmobile was voicestream and using my laptop via cellphone to connect, one had to start at voicestream's wap home page. Just a suggestion.
try a differnt AP like internet2.voicestream.com
some people have had success using that....I myself discourge this, however, it works it works...
internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com will only work if you have a tmobile unlimited internet account which is 19.99 a month not a wap account. What services are on your account?
mike you're right....i thought he had the 19.99 unlim internet plan...i think he needs a t-mo proxy for it to work....i'll google this and post back later...
okay here's what i found....i think the proxy thing is the what might be relevant..
http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/lofiversion/index.php?t9404.html
That is correct, for the wap, and mms the proxy has to be put in. I am soooo lazy. I reflash my Universal so much, I got tired of putting the mms setting back in. LOL
Mike
hmm so after messing around with more settings, still nothing works. Perhaps its because im trying to connect to restricted WAP sites. anyone know the tzones website/homepage? Or perhaps someone that actually has the correct settings for $9.99 tzones on a WIzard can help me with the settings.
Just put out 19.99 and you will have full access!

I was told they no longer had the 19.99 plan, that it is only the 29.99 plan. What's the trick to still getting the 19.99 plan?
Dawm that includes hotspots now. I was paying 19.99 for gprs and 19.99 for hotspot service. Heh. I guess they don't have 19.99 gprs internet only now. Sucks. But thanks, I am going to call and save 10.00 a month. hehe
Mike
They are getting rid of the back door to using the WAP as online access for the PDA's. They are going to go to the full data. You will have to have the 29.99 Total Internet Plan which is unlimited data and email and hotspot. There were a lot of people paying the lower amounts and trying to use it on the PDA and it was causing issues and the data group had to try and solve them and there were things that just couldn't be solved becuase the provisiong of the WAP is different then the internet2.voicestream.com. Just pay the 30 bucks and get it all.
I have just received my new TyTN. I have no idea how to enter the settings for GPRS and / or HSDPA. Can anyone point me in the right direction. i was told because I am on the old ATT Charter Plan, my settings would be a little different than the regular cingular. Thanks in advance
I am assuming you mean Cingular in the US. If that's the case .. please check this thread out ..

I do not understand this enough to decipher your notes. Would you, or someone else be willing to help me out a bit and explain it, or walk me through it.
Thanks
Ok..I really need help and I hope someone is willing. I do not understand this stuff enough to figure out what the post above was.
I am making calls. Surfing the web, but I can not send Text Messages.
Would someone be kind enough to treat me like the moron I am, and explain what settings I need and where to enter them.
I am still on the ATT network and have not switched over to a cingular plan. I have the old ATT charter plan with unlimited data. Thanks in advance

Anytime I have switched to another unlocked GSM phone my TXT messaging always worked by default (someone correct me if I am wrong) but the message desk # is in the SIM Card.
I have the same exact plan as you do and probably the same SIM (blue one)
Does TXT messaging work on other phones?
I called Customer Service and they had accidently turned off the text messaging. Now I can send, but I still can not get pics.
to make matters worse, I can not connect to the Internet. I keep getting a message that says,
"Cannot conect for an unknown reason....."
Before speaking to customer service, I could connect. I had not entered any settings and I could connect.
I tried the above settings and get the same message.
Anyone have any suggestions?
ring them back and tell them they have prob switched you data plan off lol

Java - Would you believe that is exactly what happened? They "accidentally" turned it off. I had a number of blunders like that with them. I do wonder if it is because I still have the old ATT Charter Plan. I have unlimited phone everything for $99 and unlimited data for $24.99. They keep trying to make me switch, but I am like NO WAY. Stuff like this keeps happening to me. I do wonder if they do on purpose.
If i sign up for the T-Mobile US T-zones 5.99 plan will i be able to access internet through my pocket pc or do i have to pay for the 30.00 plan?

Just purchase the 5.99 plan. Then edit ur existing connection and select this network connects thru proxy server and put this in the proxy box. getmorespeed.voicestream.com or getmorespeed.voicestream.net. and you will then be able to access full internet
alright thanks, now all i have to do is buy the plan.
Currently, Tmobile has unlocked their network, so you won't need to use a proxy to get online. You will have full access through the $5.99/month plan.
I've had the T-Mobile 5.99 web package for 2 years now and I've always been able to access any web page I want. It's definitely not the speediest though.
It seems that Tmobile has locked their network again. It's back to proxy 216.1551.65.50:8080 people.

Does this mean that by using this proxy, all ports are open for the web? Or only specific are allowed?

Does this work for t-mobile to go prepaid or only for contracts? i tried putting in the setting's for it and it does'nt work. and which one exactly do you have to input in the proxy server? 216.1551.65.50 or getmorespeed.voicestream.com??

This should work for both if you are paying for the T-Zones. I used to be on T-Zones and T-Mobile used to lock and unlock the ports (HTTP,FTP,POP,SMTP,etc.) from time to time. But now they have unlocked the ports. So the best way to get a cheap plan with all ports unblocked is to get the Blackberry Data Plan that costs $20. It does not have the HotSpots stuff, only GPRS access. And if you have an EDGE device or even better a 3G device, you will have great speeds on your mobile phone. But if you want both GPRS and HotSpot, then go with the $30 Data Plan.
As for the proxy, you will enter 216.155.65.50 (you got an extra 1 in 155). The getmorespeed.voicestream.com is for the APN that you input when creating the connection.

hi, ive had the 5.99 plan for awhile, it works good with 216 proxy number, but the speed isnt fast, my apn name is wap.voicestream.com, and I tried getmorespeed.voicestream.com for AOn, but it did not work, can u please explain how do you have your settings configured
Use wap.voicestream.com instead. As far as I know, getmorespeed.voicestream.com no longer works. Atleast it doesn't work fo me either.
I am using internet2.voicestream.com since I have the $20 plan. I don't need a proxy for this data plan.
- TKN
it's wap.voicestream.com for the 5.99/plan, internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 plan. You only need the 19.99 plan if you plan on using your phone as a modem...
I cannot wait to try this $20 plan with a 3G enabled phone and see what speeds I will get ...

ok, so I got a T-Mobile Wing. I live in Canada and I use my Rogers sim card on it. I don't have a data plan with my 'my5' plan. I was looking for Rogers GPRS settings on line and I went to this site: http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/376820-1.html
I entered 'Rogers internet.com settings' it says 'requires access to a Data access plan'. As I said, I'm not on a data plan, anyways after entering these settings:
apn: internet.com
username: wapuser1
password: wap
ip: 208.200.067.150
I was able to go on the net. Now, does anyone know If I will be charged for this? If so, is there a way I can goto a Rogers store or online and see how much data I've used and how much it will cost me? Or do I do nothing and wait for my next bill to see if they're gonna start to charge me?
Thanks!
as far as i know, yes, you are being charged for this.
i base that answer on this knowledge:
personally i have not bought an internet plan, and when i went to browse the internet (i thought i was on wi-fi only), there was a notification that my phone was connecting to GPRS. i of course cancelled that and then went in and deleted the Cingular internet settings that were on my phone to ensure that i wouldn't accidentally connect again, but when my phone bill came i was charged for a minute of internet usage.

If you want to make sure they don't charge you, call Rogers to ask them to block any data via GPRS. In about 2 hours of phone calls it should be done and any charge on your bill for data is their fault. A data plan with Rogers is a bad idea so you should cut this service right now.
i just found out that t-mobile has a new 9.99 data plan for the internet...i was thinkin about getting this rather than the 24.99 plan for the t-mobile wing internet...does anybody know te proxy settings that would allow me to use the 9.99 plan on my wing to use internet explorer?
and if not can someone tell me the proxy settings for the 5.99 t-zones plan?
thank u
The $9.99 plan isn't for smartphones. I went to tmobile.com and selected a standard phone with a basic plan (just to see available services) and then switched the phone at check out and selected a Dash... The $9.99 plan isn't offered with the Dash. So I suppose you could pop your sim in a standard headset and order the $9.99 plan and switch it out to see if it works. Just to warn you, even if it does work, it's only 50mb. Tmo says it's for casual web browsing. You could burn through that pretty quickly if you use your phone to watch videos or stream podcast.
that will not work. i had the 9.99 plan for my motorola and switched to wing and had to upgrade to 24.99. its not the same kind of data plan.
oh okay i was jus wondering
I met an ex Tmo employee that said in some states those proxy hacks work, but where I am in Michigan they won't. Why the hell that is... I don't know? I was never able to get the $4.99 proxy hack working when I got my wing.

tzones hack
well there are some steps missing i have had the 4.99 since the dinosaurs have roomed the earth and i have had no issues. ok heres the hack
apn= wap.myvoicestream.com
proxy 216.155.165.50 port 8080 (or 216.155.165.50:8080)
or if yer brave
apn= epc.tmobile.com
then check "this network connects to the internet"
no proxie. the second one allows for streaming while the other one does not. and the second one is quicker then the first happy hackin ^_^

I have the T-Mobile Total Internet Add-On on my plan, and edge is working fine on my unlocked E61i .. but I've put the SIM in a loaner Touch Pro 2.
Calls work fine, actually I even have the gmail application working fine, as well as active sync with google for contacts and calendar.
Opera and IE both give me Gateway Timeouts.
I have a comm connection set up for Cellular Line (GPRS,3G) to internet2.voicestream.com with all auth info blank.
It looks like it's trying to communicate over EDGE then dies. I've tried setting it up multiple times and rebooting the phone. No dice.
Well, that's strange.. I suppose this phone's Opera and IE have some strange modification..
I loaded SkyFire onto it and it's working fine.. nevermind I suppose..
