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.
tdoman :x

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
it just keeps taking me back to the user name and password page. what should I do?

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?

Here you go.
internet.com

Good luck.

Do not forget, that you have to subscribe to data services (it will not work with WAP)

thanks
Okay thanks everyone.
I've got the settings as:
Cellular line (GPRS)
Access point name: internet.com
user name: wapuser1
password: wap
domain: (blank)
under advanced: Use server-assigned IP address, software compression off, IP header compression off. Server tab: use server-assigned addresses
Under GPRS settings i have
CHAP authentication (note i also tried PAP without sucess); and class 10 (which shouldn't matter).
Now mys CSD line type settings (not sure how much this matters because I don't know what CSD is):
Data rate: 9600 (v.32)
Connection element: non-transparent
Any other settings that might be configured wrong?
As for having to have a WAP account - my understanding is that all phone accounts are on a pay-per-use basis unless a specific plan is purchased.
Thanks again everyone,
Sean

oh.
I see what you mean now - sorry, I read it wrong the first time. I have to subscribe to a data service plan - the phone will not do WAP on its own. Do you know why that is? The cost on Rogers is very high for a data plan while it is much more reasonable for WAP phones. I really only need the WAP - not the rest of the internet. Is there no way of getting just WAP?

YES, we all now about Rogers prices
I actually switched to Fido, but still maintaining Rogers account for other purposes.
I am not sure about using I-Mate with WAP, but I think by using special WAP browser it should be possible. Sorry cannot be more help for you.

ARRRGGGGHHHHH
I've just spent a ton of time researching whether it was possible to use my XDAII to dial-in to my work. I mean the phone is a modem/phone/computer so it has all the hardware present.... At work there is a RAS that would allow me to pick-up my e-mail and surf the internet. I do it with my laptop connected through a land-line all the time. while connecting over a GSM line would be slower than a GPRS connection it would be a heck-of-a-lot cheaper and it would be more mobile than my laptop and no need for a landline!!! Anyway, turns out that beautiful ROGERS AT&T service does not allow CSD on their system (if anyone knows a way around this please please please share it with me!!). I guess, the idea is to force people to subscribe to their expensive GPRS data plans.
i would love to get all I can out of my XDAII but I'm not sure at this point if I can justify the extra $25 month for 3mb of data with Rogers or the $25 month for the 5mb of data from FIDO... both of these providers are crazy expensive (plus, add the cost of the $6.95/mth access fee I'd be required to pay for FIDO). Now, if I had a normal phone which only did WAP then it would cost me about $7 for 1mb - not a lot of data but a more reasonable rate.
So, that's where I'm at.... if anyone out there knows of a good plan for data usage - or better yet a way to do CSD on Rogers please let me know. Noviur, or anyone, if you know of a WAP browser program that would allow me to use WAP on Rogers please point me in that direction.
Thanks,
Sean
PS. Just a little disappointed that after all the money spent on this beautifull phone I'm now limited in its use so that Rogers can continue to make more money on me besides what they make for my high-speed internet, digital cable and 2 mobile phone plans.

you can not bit 50CAD unlimited from Fido. In states it is the same amount of money, may be jsut little bit less and only from T-Mobile (based on references from my friends )
5Mb will not make you happy, sorry to tell you... my avarage is about 17Mb per month....
If i can help you in anything with solving this - let me know.

Thanks Noviur,
Do you know if FIDO allows CSD? If they do I'd consider switching. How do you find the FIDO reception - I've heard that it can be problematic and they don't have as large a coverage area as Rogers.

Where in Canada are you?

Toronto

me too
in some places Fido even beter than Rogers..., such as Steeles & Leslie
In some places the same s...t, such as Bayview & 16th, or Weldrick between Bayview & Spadina...
Let's put this way - the quality of service is better, the service is almost the same, bu limited to the geographic areas... for example i am stil using my Rogers, when going for a weekend up north...
Downtown is very good receiption...
Tell me if you need me more specific...
BUT do not forget, that is is very difficult to bit 45 unlimited+50 unlimited itnernet...

The quality of service must be better with Fido - Nothing could be worse than Rogers.
I too head up north frequently (just about every weekend) but my phone doesn't get reception up there anyway - Neither Rogers or Fido (now Bell gets perfect reception).
Right now I'm on a $20/mth plan that gives me adequate telephone minutes - I get 150 minutes during the day and unlimited evenings and weekends starting at 7pm... that seems to work for me. Jumping to $95/mth would be a big increase that I'm not sure I could/should pay.

Noviur,
Do you know if FIDO has CSD? If they do then you can dial-in to any ISP or RAS server - while it would be much slower than GPRS it would only use your telephone minutes and you wouldn't have to pay the GPRS fees. For me it would be amazing because then I could collect my e-mails, messages, etc. from my work just like i do with my laptop.

I am not sure about it... I think a raised this question some time ago with CSR because of the KSE Fax soft, and was told that Fido does not support CSD... But the best place to check that would be www.howardchui.com forum....

Need Sidekick internet settings for The Hermes

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

GPRS Setting for Afghanistan

Well I was so happy yesterday. I received my new MWg Atom (great phone BTW) and was all set to set up GPRS. Unfortunately, Afghan Wireless Communications Company does not support this device. They do all of their GPRS setting via OTA SMS. This is a very long shot, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the manual GPRS setting are for AWCC or Roshan in Afghanistan. The Auto Configurator does not have either of these networks. Pakistan is the closest country I could find in the list.
Bobby

sorry dude, all you can find about those networks is to call customer service..
they should help you out with a device wich needs manual settings...

Thanks for the reply, but I've already been down that road. They just hang up when you mention your device is not Nokia, Samsung or Motorola. They insist my phone doesn't support GPRS, but of course it does. Also, I erased all of the settings and got connected, but it is very slow (8Kbps max). I believe I'm connected to their GPRS, but they also have an INTERNET profile which is supposed to be faster.

Maihan,
Thanks for the reply. I'd already configured the phone like you described in your post. Actually, I have successfully used three different settings
APN: wap
Username: awcc
Password: 1111
Proxy: 10.100.1.52 (port 80)
*limited to HTTP traffic only. Slow to start, but fast when it recognizes DNS
APN: internet
Username: blank
Password: blank
APN: blank
Username: blank
Password: blank
* both these connections are slow. Speed test show 2.8Kbps MAX
AWCC shows that it connects at EDGE speed, but the connection is much slower than regular GPRS. Seems like it wasn't worth the cash to have the phone. What speeds are you getting? Also, it appears that after 1700hrs, I can't even get a connection. I really wanted to use AWCC to replace the high cost internet service I subscribe to now. I was at least hoping to get at least 56Kbps service out of this.
If you have any other advice please reply. Thanks.
Bobby

AWCC GPRS
Dear Bobby,
Hope you are fine and doing your best,
Thanks for sharing with us your settings,
I have tested these all settings and have checked my speed, the speed of AWCC is very slow, my average speed with all three settings is between 1 -12 kbs.
I don’t think so your phone is bad because sometimes AWCC get hang and the internet doesn’t work for while.
Maihan Nijat

anyone have manual settings for Roshan?

Perhaps you can find it on the GPRS/Internet Connection Settings for the whole world thread

I use AWCC with much success, $20 per month unlimited. I only use it to check email and chat with Palringo, so I dont need much speed. I use my gmai+google voice to send and receive txts from home. Some of my guys use Roshon and have good luck as well. I am in Kandahar with good coverage, and the settings posted above by besjr69 have worked on both networks.

thanks -- good information. I'll be in Herat Provence soon.
I heard talk of 3G last year - any insight from someone on the ground?

AWCC sucks big time. It costs 20 usd per month, unlimited, crappy speed. You can get your emails though and sometimes check Facebook .
1. send message to 999 with text: GPRS
2. wait for 24 hours
3. APN: internet (everything else blank)
ROSHAN
i'm just trying that right now. Other than the APN, i saw that you must activate GPRS by sending message to 167 with text: GPRS on

Roshan settings are as follow
Name: Roshan
APN: internet
everything else leave default and ensure phone internet service turned on

roshan is... expensive...

There was some news of 3G coming in 2011 to Afghanistan and the government was in talks with the carriers. The carriers are concerned that their investment in infrastructure could be wasted by attacks on towers. I doubt it will happen this year and if it does it will probably just be Kabul.

Depends on how you use it...
I have had a 1,k AFS scratch card loaded on my phone for 3months. still have about 350AFS on it. I use it to call local Roshan #'s mainly and RARE calls stateside after 9pm afghanistan time. I've done maybe 15 sms msgs on it to the USA.
BUT yes GPRS data is stupid $$$
as of 04/07/2011
GPRS Rates: A fee of 0.10 Afs is applicable per 10 KB download in Afghanistan.
So 1 AFS per KB, a 1k AFS card is $23ish USD do the math...
MIGHT be cheaper @ the Bazaar or via online top up but don't think so

Thought I read Kabul had it (April `11 time frame) but I'm way down in Kandahar so we are just glad to have service
Cause yes, they used to shut down cell towers at night to keep them from getting attacked.

What are the speeds like on Bagram, and how fast do the Roshan cards deplete? I currently have a Roshan Sim in my HTC but didnt even know I could use data!

I wonder if you (or any expert else) can tell me how it is configured on Galaxy S2 phones? I can't find the setting for such GPRS details?

I think there are changes you have to make to the settings.
I would check NotionInkHacks forums to find the threads on that.

this may or may not be related to your problem, but did you add in the AT&T APN into your NI and have you tried your SIM card into a phone that can handle data on the AT&T network?
To input the APN info goto settings, Wireless & network settings, Mobile networks, access point names. Click your second to last button and click New APN. If the info for the field isn't provided below, leave it blank.
APN info:
Name: whatever_you_want_the_name_to_be
APN: wap.cingular
Username: [email protected]
Password: cingular1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
I can confirm this works. The tablet does everything except receive phone calls.

Adam + AT&T Data only plan for Tablets.
I went to the store asked about this, the rep didn't know how to activate the Tablet Plan on a 3rd party Tablet. He suggested I call Customer Service. I asked him for a SIM to take with me when I call so I could save time and get it working.
I called CS, talked to about 6 reps~, they tried. The main issue was getting past the accepting the terms and conditions via the phone system (IVR), it kept coming back with Unable to process due to technical problems with their system and it would transfer me back to a rep. Reps tried this themselves with me on the line.
BTW, the reps bent over backwards to help. One of the most helpful, I got disconnected while calling another department and working with a supervisor. She called me back a few mins later, says she didn't call me back right away because she wanted to finish her call and have a definitive answer.
She said I would have to return to the store and have them set me up with a dummy tablet to activate the account, then make the appropriate changes in their system.
So today I went to a AT&T retail store once again, but armed with those notes in the account. The rep called, they told him he couldn't do it. So he called another department, had them activate my account using a dummy phone under a voice plan.
Once active he made changes in the account, entered a dummy tablet IMEI then changed to the $25 /2G data plan.
I popped in the SIM, ran through the steps of enabling it on the Adam. 3G icon appeared, tested surfing Google.
I had already added an APN, only editing two things, name AT&T, APN broadband, left everything else default and it worked (this is for data only, voice/data plans require more info edited).
