maybe hits about it if you search the networking forum
for "tmobile AND gprs"
this may be a silly question, but from the wording of your post i have to ask, you are on tmobile already, aren't you?
The sim is t-mobile but the phone was an upgrade from Orange and have the orange settings. I have managed to sort it out now thank you very much.

I live in Holland. I have an Tmobile MDA2. It is simlock free. I have a contract with Telfort mobile phone company. (Telfort used to be O2 until O2 stopped operating in Holland). And I have my Telfort sim card in the MDA2.
But I can't get on the internet. And I cannot get settings from Telfort, (they say they don't support MDA's or Xda's anymore, and I can't get settings from Tmobile, unless I have a contract with them.
I'm stuck. I upgraded the MDA succesfully, to PPC 2003 SE with the "merged" upgrade from this site. Brilliant.
But I don't know how to get on the internet, or Email, etc.
Is there a way I can get on the internet?. Any settings or ideas please?
Don't know if this is too obvious, if you want to connect to the internet mobily (so not through ActiveSync) and not with a SD-WiFi card, you're probably referring to GPRS, wich uses your GSM antenna.
To be able to connect to a GPRS network, you need to have a GPRS account.
So, do you have a GPRS account with your Telfort account?
I'm also in the netherlands with a T-Mobile MDAII but use it with my T-Mobile acount that supports GPRS. It works fine (but is waaaay to expensive..)
Internet using MDAII
Just make a connection using Cellulair Line using the same ISP you use for your home-pc..
The speed is fair enough and will cost you the same as if you were just calling someone.
cellulair how?
thanks for your answer - I looked for Cellulair on google and nothing came up. Do you have more details or links so I can find it, please?
cellulair - its alright I've found the web site
cellulair - its alright I've found the web site - duh - it was obvious - www.cellulair.com. sorry to have bothered you - thanks again
Okay, 64,000 dollar question!
I have programmed my XDA to get on the internet using O2 GPRS for FREE (I have no contract and no credit) stay on the net 24/7!
Anyone know how to do this on a T-Mobile SIM?
Cheers
This forum rocks, such a great bunch of willing helpers

Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.

Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.
I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.
alright i got my GPRS back up and running.
i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.
most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet
Possible help GPRS, etc
This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.
1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..
2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...
3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.
4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.
5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.
Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??
Thanks,
Shep
ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.
in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.
I have applied both of these setting as my access point
internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com
both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????
T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.
If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.
Hey all,
I'm currently in the US for a while and i'm using a Cingular line with MEdia Net. I'm not really sure about the difference between this and the Data Connect plan, but this was cheaper. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could give me the Settings for Cingular, their customer service staff at the stores and on the phone seem to give up right after you tell them you're not using a phone you purchased from them.
Settings for GPRS, 3G (APN, User, Password, Proxy etc) would be greatly greatly appreciated!
Might help if you actually looked at the forum before posting.
Check this thread for Cingular settings
Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60462
Do a search on the Forum for Cingular setings, if your questions aren't answered there.
I apologize for the lack of research before i posted my question. My excuse? I am posting using a roaming GPRS sim and the the charges are exorbitant. Managed to find a resonably priced internet connection now, but thanks to all the help!!!
Sorry once again!
i got a o2 trion and but never configure it to use internet on t-mobile i call t-moble they dont know how either i dont know they lies or not but anyone out there know hwo to configure it for use with t-mobile??
I don't know if you will find the answer here, but this is the site I go to with any kind of connection problem:
http://www.filesaveas.com/windowsmobileconnect.html
They have info on wifi connection, gprs connection and wap connection.
This may help, or o2 have:

good luck
In addition to the "How tos" in the above links see here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm21625.htm
It is of course nonsense that t-mobile do not know the settings - only they give minimal or non-existant help for phones not sold thru them.

Hey all,
Hopefully I'll be buying an XDA Mini S soon from eBay, but have a few questions that I'd like answering (if possible) before hand.
1) Can I use the phone on a PAYG sim card? (I know there are problems with GPRS, but can it be used for evrything else, and is it possible to py for GPRS?)
3) Would it work on a vodafone contract? (I am currently on O2 PAYG but would love free GPRS, the cheapest contract I can find is around £14 on Vodafone. Can anybody reccomend anything cheaper, around the same price or better? Its just that O2 seem to charge an awefull lot, although I really would like to stay with them)
EDIT:
Has anybody used the O2 'business data' tarrifs before? it looks like you can pay just for the internet or something.
Thank you very much in advance.

As long as you get a SIM unlocked device you are free to use any SIM card in there world wide.
The GPRS setting for your provider you can find posted all over the internet. Check your providers homepage first! They often have it in the HELP & F.A.Q. section
Thank you
Can somebody help me? I'm sur ethat there are people around who can answer number 3.
I ordered my Xda Wizard and it will be coming in the post today.
