Is there a way to get cheaper Internet access than T-Mobile USA's "Total Internet" at $29.99 per month? For example, I do not need their HotSpots, but they say I cannot remove it without removing the rest of the data plan. Any ideas?
I did a little shopping around. And it appears that the T-mobile Total Internet is the cheapest unlimited plan. The $30 internet is the reason why im moving from Cingular to T-Mobile. If i kept my existing voice plan with Cingular and added their unlimited internet id be paying $110/mo. I can get t-mobile voice with unlimited internet for $70/mo and have 300 more anytime minutes than with Cingular. There may be better deals out there or promotional packages but this was the absolute best ive found so far.

Aaahhh, the times when we could pay $6.99 for blackberry plan... OK, I guess I'll give up. Thanks, Shane.
you can log into u're t-mo account change u're phone to a blackberry and switch to the unlimited blackberry add-on $20 and switch u're phone back to the MDA. TADA.....you have unlimited internet for $10 cheaper.
try T-MobileWeb ($5.99)

I switched to that, and now I cannot send or receive emails (I use push email if that matters), and cannot browse (with Opera or with IE).
When I click Start - Settings - Connections - Connections - Manage Existing Connections, under there I have "wap.voicestream.com" for "Access point name". Do I need to change that to something else to get T-Mobile Web to work for me?
with tmobileWEB $5.99 you can only use the web browser because tmobile blocks all the ports but 8080 (if you have the proxies) which is used for http. If you want to use email and other apps then you need to go to your account @ tmobile.com and change your current phone for a blackberry, go to plans and services and select the $20.00 add-on internet and your done.

yes, the reason you dont get internet is because you havent setup the proxies. if you just want to use the internet then under connections click on manage existing.. and click on the proxies tab and check the box where it says this connection uses proxies (i think thats what it says) and input this in the space provided under it 216.155.165.50 and go to advance and make sure http is set to 216.155.165.50 :8080
I switched to the $20 Blackberry Internet add-on, and everything seems to work fine now. I just need to see if the bill will be for the $20, and I am all set.
Thanks a bunch, Andyjs.
right now i have total internet so either one is an improvement... so i'll try the tmobile web ($5.99, with correct proxy settings, i assume it allows for unlimited data usage) but is it the same "EDGE" speed as the blackberry add-on for $20?
Here's a thread on HoFo about this:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159857&page=1&pp=15
I found these directions via another post.
I have the 5.99 plan...I used this for a few mintues of internet browsing and yahoo messaging...gonna wait for my bill to see what kind of charges I may or may not have accrued.
1. Open up your keyboard and get out your stylus because it will make it easier
2. Start menu --> Settings
3. Go to 'Connections' tab
4. Then click on Connections app
5. Select 'Set up my proxy server'
6. Select the 'General' tab
7. On the general tab, name it "WAP" (or anything, really, that's just what I used) -- if you haven't messed with this before, it will say "My Work Network"
8. Select the 'Modem' tab
9. Click on New...
10. Name the connection "Tzones" (again, that's what I used)
11. Under modem, select 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
12. Click Next
13. Under access point name, type "wap.voicestream.com"
14. Click Next
15. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
16. Click on Advanced...
17. On the 'TCP/IP' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned IP address" is checked and that nothing else is checked or filled-in
18. On the 'Servers' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned addresses" is checked and that nothing else is checked or filled-in
19. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
20. Click Finish
21. Select the 'VPN' tab and make sure there is nothing here
22. Select the 'Proxy Settings' tab
23. Check the box "This network connects to the Internet"
24. Then you can check the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
25. Then type into the Proxy server box: 216.155.165.50:8080
26. Click on Advanced...
27. Click on "HTTP"
28. The server should read 216.155.165.50
29. Change the port number to 8080
30. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
31. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
32. And do the "ok" thing again
33. And "ok" one more time
34. Notice 1: at the top of the screen, it should say "WAP" (or whatever name you chose in step 7)
35. Notice 2: where before it said 'Set up my proxy server' now it should read 'Edit my proxy server' -- just FYI, don't touch
36. Click on the 'Advanced' tab
37. Click on "Select Networks"
38. Under both drop-down boxes, choose "WAP" (or the name you chose in step 7) -- I'm not sure the 2nd one needs to be the same, but what the heck, it worked for me; feel free to experiment
39. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
40. And do the "ok" thing again
41. Push the "e" on your MDA to launch Internet Explorer
42. Make sure you're not connected via the USB cable
43. Go to "Favorites" and choose one of the sites listed there and see if it works
44. If it works, congratulations! Stop here.
45. If it doesn't work, go back to step 1 or ask for help (but I'm no expert, so I think I'll leave it to others to help you)
working on a solution
Until i see the bill i can not confirm, but due to the fact they are wide open and you should be able to have data with out paying for it. I am basing this on the fact that like most companies their parameters are set from what is set up. hense the ability to simply tell them you have a black berry and your charge changes. The system does not set up your phohe it is simply a billing and database mule. With that being said i believe that if you have no data set up on your plan and you get the right proxy you can have full blown internet. I have a phone running full t mobile data but i have no data account. Have not seen the bill yet. My interests are not in the free data it's the voip over the gprs through the satellite.
Again we will see.
i currently am paying the $30 for the internet plan.. and i hate that i have to pay for a hotspot plan that i NEVER use.. does anyone know if theres anything we can do so that t-mobile seperates the internet plan from the hotspot plan.. like maybe a petition or something???
I called about the Hot Spot as well, it is a complete waste of money.
The only reason I have the $30 plan is because I use the browser all the time. Other than that, I don't use email, nor the hot spot. Would the 5.99 plan work for this? Has anyone seen extra charges?
i'm about to get the mda and was hoping to find out if having just the 5.99 one would work for browsing. i hope someone finds out soon.
Wow, I followed the 45 step program, and I'm able to browse and update weather and all that good stuff, and I don't even have a basic ($5.99) TZones account. Nowwww, we'll see what's on my next bill.

that 45 step program is detailed instructions on how to enter the information for GPRS on t-mobile USA. you will get charged whatever your data plan is for it's use. if you don't have a data plan, i think you get charged per kb used...

Do these setting's work for prepaid as well or is it only for contract?

but it stopped working
what gives?????
the answer is xda forums
And darling all it does is form a team so where thier is a will or anger frustration their is a sledge hammer to kick down that woderfull door.
Don't worry t-mobile for those oof you who don't know ride on top of cingular attt is trying to take the market stocks are flying but the y literally ride on top no pass like the uk
So just find another fixed plan and the proxy which will change again and then find your way out . i donut have t-mobile how ever i do have a very powerful girl that has been down as well so my guess is by next week some one else will pop the new door . They are wide open so don;t worry .
but 50 no more
Does the 45-step plan above still work on T-mobile network for getting unlimited unrestricted Internet for $5.99?

Try 0870 600 3009 for Customer Care. It's usually a good idea to check for roaming as there may be restrictions on the account.
I can't recall EU GPRS roaming charges off of the top of my head. Sorry
Have a nice trip though.
I was happily using my shipped Cingular ROM here in Australia on a Telstra SIM.
So of course I had to try to upgrade to the new ROM. :-(
Now I CANNOT get the telsra.wap configured to make a 3G connection.
I put the Cingular/ATT SIM card back in and the 3G connected just fine (slow, as usual so the phone is physically working.
I checked the Wiki/FAQ's and there are no cabs for setting the communications stuff for Oz/Telstra.
Can anyone help? I am at wits freaking end - mostly because this is a self inflicted wound.
I am ready to pay in cookies or cash!
I have provided the setup instructions from Telstra below - they all seemed to work fine. The WAP proxy has a hard coded Port=9201 in it, and there is a hard-coded apac-nc02;1080 in the Socks.
I have NOT deleted the Cingular/ATT supplied MediaNet.
When I connect through Telstra Internet the connection seems to get made (it does not return an error) but no web pages are available. I have not tried other internet connections.

Im pretty sure its got something to do with Telstra using NextG???? (or something to that effect).......i think i read that they use UMTS850....not 800 but there is a way to fix it......il raise the issue in IRC and see what happens.

Holy MOG.
I think I followed that (I was technical back in the PDP/8 days....) - what are the odds of bricking my phone doing that?
I get that I need a registry editor (can find that again in the FAQ's) but what is this extended ROM stuff?
Thanks!
err ok telstra isnt running proper 3G yet, its a slightly modified CDMA 2. thats why they could get the network running faster than they first announced.
proper 3G wont be available till the end of the year, as far as the public is concerned though its running now although technically speaking its more like 2.75G
that might have something to do with it ?
What I find confusing was that on my previous ROM with the Telstra SIM I got the "U" for UTMS and got pretty darn fast action. (In Brisbane, if that matters.)
Now I can put in my AT&T SIM and get ok-ish speed with a "G", but since I never tried my AT&T SIM before I can't say if that is better/worse/same.
And when I put in my Telstra SIM I get the "3G" but since I don't have data yet I can't say what the xmit speed is like.
I've downloaded the regedit thing and will take a whack at that.
This must be how my parents feel when they get .dll problems on their windows box.
Ok, so I did the suggested registry edits, double checked them, put down my scotch (kidding, it's 11am here!), and tried the internet again.
I still get the "3G" logo with the <-/-> arrows but after it says connecting it comes back with a IE error: The page yo uare looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80088000.
Argh.
Thoughts?
i got standard rom on my hermes on the Australian Telstra network (woot staff rates) i dont get the 3G icon or logo either just the U (Telstra UTMS)

How do you come to this conclusion? Simply because its not being run on 2100Mhz?
I am also stuck with this same problem on 3. My network is always "U" never anything different. Does UTMS mean G and UTMS 3 mean 3G?
noobish i know but my old phone said 3 plain and simple...
Ok, I got the internet working - cannot tell if it is faster/slower than before I flashed the ROM - probably I am just too darn relieved to have it working again at all!
I'll do a hard reset and verify that these are the settings (did not have to do the hack on the registry!). They do differ from Telstra's reccy's. Of course.
Thanks again to everyone who tried to help!

Could you be more specific in your claims? How do you claim to read these project plans and then not be able to tell me how you know its not 'real 3G'.
For your information, Telstra has already been running a seperate CDMA2000 network on the 800Mhz spectrum since Dec 2002. CDMA2000 is considered a '3G' network if it has EVDO.
Telstra's NextG network (completely seperate to the CDMA) is a TRUE UMTS service running on the 850Mhz spectrum. The network theoretically supports 14.4Mpbs, but 3.6Mbps and 1.2Mbps have actually been achieved by users. These speeds alone classify the network as a 3G service.
Check the facts before you define NextG as a modified cdma 2/cdma 2000 or "2.75G" .
gee sorry i only work for them and all yet you seem to know what you are talking about,
i dont care either way being on staff plans rocks when you get free data every month and pay bugger all for the phone.
Look, mate, its obvious you don't have any technical knowledge...

Telstra settings for 3g
Hi all, been down the same road with 3g Telstra.
There is a fix to set up all settings etc fairly easy when flashing with wm6.
1. do your flash...
2. need to edit the bands to allow our phone to use Telstra's frequencys
(see below)
3. run Telstra's own setup cab that they use in the original imate ext_rom
4. just go into settings/phone/band...select "auto" on network type
select "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)"
thats about it
Works for me everytime I've flashed, get wap when its out of range for 3g and get telstra internet 3g every other time
E=Edge average, 3g=Umts=H on connections
notes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Telstra "odd" bands (must do some reg exports for next time, and to share), use a reg editor like resco's etc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(taken from XDA site) if anyone else needs them, This Registry patch works for the Hermes.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\BandType]
"ItemCount"=dword:00000006
"ItemName1"="Auto"
"ItemName2"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)"
"ItemName3"="GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)"
"ItemName4"="UMTS(2100+800)"
"ItemName5"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+850)"
"ItemName6"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)"
"ItemValue1"=dword:00000000
"ItemValue2"=dword:00000001
"ItemValue3"=dword:00000002
"ItemValue4"=dword:00000003
"ItemValue5"=dword:00000004
"ItemValue6"=dword:00000005
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\UMTS\BandSelection]
"Band"=dword:00000005
You really just need to add ItemName5 and 6, and ItemValue5 and 6, and change the ItemCount from 4 to 6 (as you added two options) using your favorite Registry Editor.
Do a soft reboot of the phone. Now you can select the NextG option GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. copy the telstra cab onto your phone then run, this sets up the Telstra Wap and Teletra Internet connection, as well as the proxy manager.
It does load some other junk onto the system like telstra bussiness etc , but this is easy to delete or move to another start menu group.
sometimes when setting up email accounts and such you may have to fiddle with the programmes "connect with " network setting and point it to :telstra internet or as in my case use "work" connection.
hope this helps

yep on that "staff plan", data usage is a killer, and $8 for 3mb is useless for a phone that can do so much...thats my whinge for the day...

since the telstra intranet contains all the project plans you moron for the current projects in operation you dolt as if you would even have a clue what does and what doesnt go on within the company, or indeed what even occurs within a telco.

So this post doesn't make you think that perhaps i do have more knowledge about the NextG network than you assume?
Its obvious you have no clue about the network. You are yet to back up your claims of the network being 'not real 3G' and a 'highly modified cdma 2' - despite the fact you have read the so called 'project plans'.
And yet you tell me to go to www.whirlpool.com.au (such a reliable source of network build information! *sarcasm*) to prove yourself right.
So i'm still waiting to see how you can make such claims...

Hello, I was just curious as to if there is a way to surf the web on your T-wing without the 19.99 data plan. I used to have the Tmobile Web on my tweaked Nokia 5300, and Sony Ericcson w600i and I accessed some site pretty well using OperaMini. I had desktop views of myspace and other websites.
I was also able to use my phone a modem when I was away from home (by re-configuring my browser).
Wondering if there is a way to configure the wing to use the same access ports as those other phones, rather than pay a whooping 19.99 for total internet plan, when my home cable internet is only $29.99.
Any help.....mods please delete this thread if it violates the rules.
I don't believe so...
Around last July, TMo began to upgrade their security and block the t-zones access for 3rd party apps. By September, even the $5.99 plan wouldn't allow Opera Mini or Google Maps to work. Even port scanning voicestream.com from my computer came back blocked. I eventually broke down and got the $19.99 plan. I just cut my minutes back, and text and Skype over EDGE to make up the difference. The Total Internet plan used to be $29.99 so it could be worse, I guess. Do those settings still work on you Nokia? If they do, what are they and I will test them. All the ports under 216.155.165.050 have been blocked in markets that have been upgraded to EDGE.
I strongly disagree because up until the end of Jan 08, I still accessed most websites with my nokia 5300 just having the 5.99 tmobile web feature. Of course, T-MObile sold the phone to me and locked access to/with third party software. I called them for support, and they would not help. They asked me to call Nokia. I called Nokia and they told me to call me phone company. So I said, F--k it!!!
And I went the hacking route. And Lo!!! I could access the internet. And that's what I'm looking for with the wing right now. I talked to a tech guy with T-Mobile and he wouldn't tell me much, but from what he told me, it seems the data plan is just a scam.....an excuse to give you the same thing for more money just cause you have a more expensive and "more capable" phone.
We'll see...
Good luck
Well I have,
ap = Internet2.Voicestream.com or wap.voicestream.com
proxy = 216.155.165.050
port = 8080
dns = 216.155.175.105

You will have to change back to the original settings if you need to access email, and this should allow IE and some 3rd party apps to to work. I need my email for work and it's too much of a hassle for me. These work where I have GPRS but not where I have EDGE. Maybe you"ll have better luck than me.
I was still able to access websites with my p900 using opera 8, but not opera mini. And opera mini on my hacked V3 just stopped working overnight. Were you browsing with opera or the internal browser?

Thanks for your responsee....are these settings for the T-wing or just a regular phone?
Should be any phone, they are network settings not phone specific. You can try wap.voicestream.com too.
This might article help you with your laptop as well.

I can get it working without any problem
Working for me also
I have a Dash and a Wing on T-mobile, I use the $5.99/mo data plan w/ a proxy. I have never had a problem running 3rd party apps except Google Maps. I am able to use Google Maps, however I occasionally get a message about not being able to connect to the internet. If you could tell the application which connection to use (like you can w/ PIE or Email), I don't think any apps would have problems accessing the internet.

You mean Tmobile web (5.99) on the Wing?

I'm using the Open Touch rom, and I tried configuring the proxy last week, but failed. Could you show me the process of changing the proxy settings.
I went to Settings> Connections> Connections >
then there's the TMobile Data with 3 options:
- Add a new modem connection
- Set up my proxy server
-Manage existing connections
It is after here that I get lost becos i chose manage proxy server and it would not do the trick for me.
Review the following steps and see if these help, found from my cheat sheet. With the original TMobile Wing, I just focus step 24-29.
1. Open up your keyboard and get out your stylus because it will make it easier
2. Start menu --> Settings
3. Go to 'Connections' tab
4. Then click on Connections app
5. Select 'Set up my proxy server'
6. Select the 'General' tab
7. On the general tab, name it "WAP" (or anything, really, that's just what I used) -- if you haven't messed
with this before, it will say "My Work Network"
8. Select the 'Modem' tab
9. Click on New...
10. Name the connection "Tzones" (again, that's what I used)
11. Under modem, select 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
12. Click Next
13. Under access point name, type "wap.voicestream.com"
14. Click Next
15. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
16. Click on Advanced...
17. On the 'TCP/IP' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned IP address" is checked and that nothing else is
checked or filled-in
18. On the 'Servers' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned addresses" is checked and that nothing else is checked
or filled-in
19. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
20. Click Finish
21. Select the 'VPN' tab and make sure there is nothing here
22. Select the 'Proxy Settings' tab
23. Check the box "This network connects to the Internet"
24. Then you can check the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
25. Then type into the Proxy server box: 216.155.165.50:8080
26. Click on Advanced...
27. Click on "HTTP"
28. The server should read 216.155.165.50
29. Change the port number to 8080
30. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
31. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
32. And do the "ok" thing again
33. And "ok" one more time
34. Notice 1: at the top of the screen, it should say "WAP" (or whatever name you chose in step 7)
35. Notice 2: where before it said 'Set up my proxy server' now it should read 'Edit my proxy server' -- just
FYI, don't touch
36. Click on the 'Advanced' tab
37. Click on "Select Networks"
38. Under both drop-down boxes, choose "WAP" (or the name you chose in step 7) -- I'm not sure the 2nd
one needs to be the same, but what the heck, it worked for me; feel free to experiment
39. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
40. And do the "ok" thing again

I have followed these steps and configured my device just as you said, but at this point I haven't tried it out......I just wanted you to know that I REALLY appreciate the effort typing out 40 steps to help out.......Hope someone else benefits fro this too.....
I'mm off to try it now...
THANKS
IT worked!!!! Even with GoogleMaps
I think I lied......I'm probably not the best person to leave in a chemical lab alone....may blow things up.
Ok. I had the settings as above and I totally forgot that although I had switched internet features from Data Plan to TMobile Web, the change had not been effective.
However, when the change became effective at the turn of the day, yesterday, there was no more connection for me......anyone knows what possibly happened?
I was out of the country for about 6 months and used to use $5.99 T-Mo Web all the time on my Hermes and Wizards. I just called them to re-add it because it's not listed on the My T-Mobile website anymore. They did add it but no sites are loading. Maybe they did block the 216.155.165.050 proxy? This is frustrating, I think $20/month is too much for crappy Edge speeds anyway. I've had a 3G phone for a year and have not once ever been on 3G. If I can't get this $5.99 plan to check my gmail somehow in the next few days, I'm calling them back to cancel it.

Big problem I think a lot of people are having is the proxy settings and port number. sometimes if you use the network wizard to configure your settings, you get (216.155.165.050) that is wrong! it should be (216.155.165.50)! that extra (0) before the (50) has caused a lot of people to have an unusable connection. also make sure the port settings are (8080) and not (80) that too seems to have caused problems.

Absolutly correct. The proxy must be 216.155.165.50, not 050, they are two totally different address'. The port must be 8080 and not just 80, again, different address' all together. I have been using the proxy trick to access the internet. I have used it for about a year now and I have a super fast connection and have access to my emails. Only limitation I have found with the proxy trick is there is no youtube to watch!
I live in Orlando Fl and I use the internet everyday.
Can you still send mms messaging? I noticed when I did this with my wifes Wing, she couldn't send or recieve picture messages. But the proxy works great on my Shadow with no problems what so ever.

yes, no problems whatsoever with mms. just make sure the above settings are correct.

and alas, i as well must thank you... for you rigorous instructions have helped me not once, but twice!
that aside:
bowlopho, the only way now (i think they're trying to hide it) is on t zones itself. the little one. when it shows plans and what not. i did the same not 3 days ago and and found i could only add it on tzones. the site is offering a new tzones premium... ha! YEAH RIGHT.
ive looked here for any info but the posts for my question seem old and not working for me.
i have just got a X1 and i would like to use pay as you go with O2 (best signal coverage for me)
Only they say they cant send me a configeration to use GPRS or MMS as one doesnt exist, they say the only way i can use it is if i get a contract and get the bolt on with them or look on the internet to see if anyone got any working setting.
Is there anyone here who is on pay as you go with O2 in uk or you all have contracts to use O2 Mobile Web mobile, i have tried 3 settings but as yet no luck in getting this to work
thanks in advance
Geoff
Hi,
I'm on O2 Contract, but the settings should still work for PAYG as I used the contract settings on one of my nokias when the contract ones buggered up.
I can upload the O2 operator settings.exe if need be.

The can't "send" you the settings because they're poo... no what they mean is there isn't a nice file they can send along to configure your phone, not a specific problem with the xperia, it's because it's WinMo.
Follow the links provided by ratchetnclank, I have had the odd issue with Data connections, and have heard plenty of people complain about needing proxies to get onto the real web etc... I don't have these problems and I'm with O2 PAYG... I just set my work connection up to the following:
Settings > Connections > My Work Connection > Add new modem connection
Name: o2 GPRS (or whatever you want)
modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
APN (Access point name)
payandgo.o2.co.uk (letter o, not number)
User : payandgo
Pass : password
domain: blank
Then in the connections settings, at the bottom go to the "advanced" tab.
click on "Select Networks" and make sure both select boxes show "My Work Network"...
And that's all! You should have fully working o2 GPRS, for MMS add the details shown on the link provided by ratchetnclank... I never use this so can't just reel off how to set it up.. sorry.
Hope this helps!
The tweaks to get an O2 P&G connection to web browse involves hiding the default connection setting called My ISP (because PIE will always try and use that one) and then changing the proxy settings from a WAP port to a HTTP port.
Go to Start > Settings > Connections > Connections tab > Advanced > Select Networks.
You should see 2 drop down-boxes. The top one will be called ‘My ISP’ (this is the contract web connection) and the bottom one will be called ‘My Work Network’ (this is the WAP connection).
Here you need to hide the My ISP connection so that the device can only see the My Work Network. Open the My ISP drop-down box and choose My Work Network. Once both drop-down boxes are showing My Work Network then tap OK.
Tap the Tasks tab and then choose ‘Manage existing connections’. You should have a connection showing called ‘O2 Active’. Tap Edit and then Next.
In the APN field enter payandgo.o2.co.uk and tap Next.
In the Username field enter payandgo and tap Finish.
Tap the Proxy Settings tab.
Make sure ‘This network connects to the Internet’ is ticked. Tap Advanced.
Select the WAP field and delete the IP address. Tap OK.
Select the HTTP filed. In the Service field enter 193.113.200.195 and in the Port field enter 8080. Tap OK and exit from the settings.
NB. You might find that the Port 8080 doesn’t save properly the first time (saves as just 80) and if so then web browsing won’t work. If you go back in and add the extra 80 in again it should then save ok.
thanks everyone for all helping me.
i printed loads of setting from the link http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
that ratchetnclank posted
But this didnt work so i swapped a few setting from each and yay it started up and worked well all night. Am i going to send these to o2, no way lol

I have HTC pure which i'm using on T-mobile (US) connection. Now I have the data plan Unlimited Web which cost $9.99 monthly. I was wondering if I could use that for surfing the net on phone. Can anybody tell me the settings?
yes u can i stll have my 5.99 plan lol use internet2.voicestream.com in settings if not then try wap.voicestream.com
but what about proxy...do I need to use any proxy server?
no you dont. theres a way to get that even cheaper $6.99 tzone plan which uses proxy. theres a code that you tell to the billing department of customer service and they can add it in for you. the down side is that you cant get pop or imap mail with the $6.99. the $9.99 plan is similar but it doesnt use a proxy. if i were you, i would get the "tmobile shadow unlimited" plan, at least its somewhat a smartphone plan so if you get called about anything, you can argue that you have the right plan. they will call you up if you suddenly switch to a more superior phone like nexus or touch pro and push you to upgrade. i just use the excuse "im just borrowing and testing this phone from a friend" and they usually buy it and never bother me again.
nope you dont have to do any of that...just use the regular setup and then go into setup...connections...connections...advanced...select networks...and under tmobile data... change epc.tmobile.com to internet2.voicestream.com and reset and u are all done
^^Seems t-mobile needs one whole month to activate a service
they said it wud be done from start of next billing cycle which is like 20days from now
