GPRS settings for T-Mobile NL??

I downloaded the T-Mobile (NL) application for PPC2002 ("T-Mobile GPRS Connect") which should take care of the GPRS connections, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about not able to open the modem connection (I'm using the Cellular Line modem): "Can not find the name of the serial port".
Anybody any ideas?
It is a nice utility which displays the speed, send/received bytes and connection time, but useless sofar...

hey marco,
i bought a t-mobile pocket pc in the US and unlocked it. With my vodafone sim i now can do everythinh with the device. So I know how to make a GPRS connection to Vodafone, but don't know the settings for t-mobile.
A few days ago I also tried to install t-mobile app. but it sucks. I suggest you try to find out the correct settings with t-mobile nl to make a descent GPRS setting and not use the t-mobile application

getting online to t-mobile service from unlocked [email protected] pc2003

I have t-mobile service and just bought a pocket pc phone that was supposed to be t-mobile but was an [email protected] ppcphone. The phone is unlocked and I put my SIM card in and the phone works fine. My question, is there a way to get online to the t-mobile unlimited service with this [email protected] phone or do I have to get another phone from t-mobile. I've tried entering t-mobiles access point info but it doesn't work. Can anyone help on this.

hi
i have the same problem, my htc was and o2 xda, had it unlock ed and my tmobile wap settings wont work.

Yes, it should work with no problems... Key information points:
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name: internet2.voicestream.com
Username, Password and Domain are blank
Also, under proxy settings:
Check "This network connects to the Internet"
Clear "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
Clear "Proxy Server:"
Note that these settings have only been tested by me in the US.

still having problems

Do you have the Internet access from T-Mobile? This is a different access type from what you would have had with a regular phone. I believe it is reffered to as T-Mobile Unlimited access (Shows up on my bill as T-Mobile Unlmtd)
If you don't have this plan on your account it will prompt you for username and password. That is the only situation that I know of which will generate the problem you are reporting.
Robert H.

true! i had the same problem with tmobile at first.
it turned out they signed me up for Tzones and not the unlimited internet.
it works fine now , with those settings in the post above.
it dont matter what ppc you have... i rewrote my ppc with many systems, tmobile, att, o2, asian... then back to tmobile.

money
how much is this unlimited service and is it avalible in the uk?

MDA on CINGULAR

I have a tmobile MDA that is unlocked and working great. My work just issued us cellphones attached to a CINGULAR plan. I put the sim into my MDA and everything seems to work right.
The only thing that does not work right is DUN (Dial-Up Networking) ... with the t-mobile sim in there (also unlocked) I am able to dial up to my ISP and obtain a (albeit slow) connection that I can use for the rare time that I want to get on the internet and check something. When I use the same connection with the cingular sim installed, it says that there is no modem at the number.
Any ideas? Should I also unlock the cingular sim? Should I use a cingular rom on my phone? Does cingular block DUN connections? I really would like to cancel my personal t-mobile and go with completely free cellphone service, as I tend to enjoy things that are free.

You just need to configure your internet settings to Cingular settings. If you go to Cingular.com and look under support>device/phone support & choose the 8125 as your phone. Then click on internet/browser settings. Follow the onscreen instructions and you will be able to connect to Cingular's EDGE/GPRS with your MDA.
Don't modify your current settings if you plan on still using your T-Mobile SIM. Just start a new connection with all of Cingular's stuff. That way when you're using the T-Mobile card just switch the connection to T-Mobile's settings and when you're using the Cingular SIM switch over to Cingular's settings. 8)

Not exactly what i was asking
I was referring to Dial-Up Networking, not GPRS/EDGE ... I am able to dial into a DIALUP ISP and connect to it just as I am able to from a regular PC.
:roll:
This way I am able to get free (well, almost. It still uses my minutes) internet, albeit at slower than standard dialup speeds.

Is your company paying for unlimted data on the Cingular plan or just allowing you to use minutes? I've never attempted to use DUN for a 3rd party providor, but using Cingular as an ISP(GPRS/EDGE) should be better than than using someone else... I'm not sure how businesses get by without offering/using data packages these days.

yes
I dial into a service called nocharge.com.
I am in California, and the service is based in Washington, but since minutes are minutes, regardless long distance, I am able to get free (sort of) dialup internet through nocharge.com.
So this is something that no one has tried? That amazes me.

doesn't Cingular still have it's own dialup number to use?
have you tried testing it out with settings such as the ones in the link below?
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cach...90+cingular+8125+csd&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1
i believe t-mobile disabled its csd by now so not sure if this will work but its worth a shot as a test...
man csd at a max speed of 9.6kbps would kill me i can barely pull up any websites using t-mo's EDGE
if you cant get the above link to work try searching for "cingular 8125 csd" on google...there is quite a bit of hits

I'm using the cingular 8125 on tmobile
the 8125 and MDA are the exact same device with different software (and of course exterior case). If you download the lastest cingular rom (which you should be able to find the offical one here on xda) and after syncing all your contacts etc, load the cingular rom from your desktop pc and it will guide you through flashing a new rom onto your wizard (aka 8125, MDA, etc).
You will have all the settings as if you had actually bought an 8125.

Setting for ATT (I have an ATT 3G SIM Card) on my NEW TyTN

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.

[Q] unlocked tmobile hd2 no data connection??? please help

i have a tmobile hd2 and its carrier unlocked i am using it with ATT and i just recently lost all data connection to my phone. i have an unlimited data plan that was working perfect until just recently. no internet or mms not even weather!! only can use wifi. can anyone help? thanks

Have you tried
*#*#4636#*#*
dial this and then go to phone information.
Have you run the ping test?
Checked what Current Network says?
Checked to see if there is anything listed under =======DATA======= ?
Have you tried to put a friend's TMO sim in the phone to see if data is restored?
All the data you can provide could help solve your problem. As is, the problem might be a little ill defined.

If you are running Windows Mobile on your HD2 from the home screen touch onvStart Menu/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Connections. Then tiuch on the adcanced tab and then touch on Select Networks and make sure AT&T is the selected network. Also tiuch on the Task tab and select Manage Existing Connections. While on the Modem tab make sure AT&T is selected and under the Proxy Settings make sure the box beside "This network connects to the internet" is checked.
Ok if you are running Androud then go to Settings/Wirless & Networks make sure allow data connections box is checked. Also go to Networks/Vertualy private networks (VPN) and make sure your AT&T VPN is corrwct.

i have fixed the problem! i was running the tmobile 3.14 rom udate which sucked and i just flashed an energy rom and alll is working again thanks for the suggestions

Same Problem
Someone please help and know that I know little to nothing of technical terms! I have the same problem. I have a T-mobile Hd2 and had Android put on it. Right at first I had a data connection then all of a sudden-NO DATA. I'm so frustrated! I checked the setting for using the phone as data connection SEVERAL time. I can get wifi but no data otherwise. PLEASE HELP

Try:
Menu - Settings - Wireless and networks - Mobile network - Access Point Names - menu button - restore to defaults, and follow the simple instructions
This should place the latest APN from your carrier on to the phone - may need a soft reboot

Hi, I'm currently trying to get my T-Mobile HD2 to work properly on NTT docomo, a Japanese cell carrier. I moved here at the end of May and have been using a data-only SIM through bmobile, a provider that uses the same towers as NTT docomo and it worked perfectly, however I switched to a voice and data plan and now I have no data connection. Voice works fine though.
I followed nenol's steps and under =======DATA======= it says, "State: DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 9:49PM fail because Activation Reject GGSN" What now? Ha
