Hey guys, I have the ATT 8525 with no data plan. I would like to know if there is a way to block my phone from accessing the ATT data network. If I want to use the internet and so forth I will do it over wifi, I just want to make sure my phone won't access the ATT data network by accident.
Thanks!
Just call Customer Service and tell them you want to request WIX Blocked.
I believe MoDaCo's NoData will do the trick..
Shuts down the data connection but wifi is still available. Made for people going overseas and such without an international data plan.
I'll post it here when I find it...
edit: attached!!
Thanks buddy.. I was also looking for something similiar.
I have a question for you!!
My problem was almost the same. I have my MMS settings and when I activate that in the Connections tab as the connection to connect to the internet inorder to receive or send MMS, then if I try to access my inbox it checks through the data connection eventhough my WiFi is active...
So will the cab file that was posted here blocks the MMS?
Thanks

yes it stops your phone from acessing any grps or edge networks. i personally just removed the grps account settngs
Unless your provider has some redirect to email feature or whatever, MMS can't be transferred via internet. They need a direct connection to the provider's servers.

hey all,
Quick question, is it possible to block the D810 from using Optus 3G network to connect to the net?
I only want to use Wifi due to the charges that optus dish out when using their network.
Any ideas?
Thanks heaps
Hello,
I had the same problem with the 3G because when I open a internet explorer, it connects automatically to the 3G network.
The solution is on the forum : take a program named Bandswitch that allows you to turn off 3G, HSDPA, GPRS etc. That will save you some money and autonomy for your Trinity
hey,
thanks for the reply.
Does the program also stop connection to send MMS though?
thanks
ok cancel the question.
I actually called Optus (and the guy was helpful!!! OMG!!) all sorted.
Just deleted the Optus setting in the ISP and that is all, still can send MMS's but no net access.
thanks.
For anyone else interested, the answer to the earlier post is that Bandswitch can be set to allow/disallow each of the connections individually, so you can block the Mobile Internet APN, but still allow MMS and/or WAP depending on how things are configured by your Telco.
I'm still waiting for my tmobile mda to arrive and I have some questions about it. When your using aim or other instant chatting programs, how do you know if their connection is through wifi instead of the expensive tmobile data network? Does the internet explorer use the data network or wifi? I'm just want to know so I avoid getting a 200 page bill from tmobile. Thanks
good question, because t mobile default program it to connect through thier expensive network. i removed my t mobile settings and set up my router with a wep key to allow my mda to the net.
if you need more help please let me know

yes as long as you have activesync you will have the internet sharing setup automatically if you have problems ill help out no problem
Goto -> http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/
Setup your account it is included in your $19.99 package. Most likely you will need to call 611 and they will give you your password that you can change. The User Name is always your 10 digit phone number. After all is configured via that page all you need to do on any wifi enabled device is set you ssid to "tmobile". When you detect a Hotspot network just open up the web broswer on that device and sign in with your 10 digit username and password. That is it.
I think you are slightly confused (main poster). It sounds like you already have the unlimited plan which includes hotspot. So given that, it also says that you know how to share your gprs/edge connection by tethering it with your laptop. So the only point left for confusion is what a hotspot is. Hotspot has nothing to do with gprs/edge. It's a wifi signal at participating locations like kinkos, starbucks, ect... that you simply log in to with your wifi enabled laptop and the 1st screen it will direct you to is the tmobile hotspot webpage. Just enter your tmobile phone number and password that you use to login to the tmobile website that you already use (or should) to just pay your bill online. And then you're in the hotspot... download blissfully and much faster than edge.
Hi there,
Got my new G1 (BRILLIANT) the only problem is that when i'm using the GPRS network (for power saving) i cant send mms. The problem isnt network related because the sim can send them on 3g using the G1 and on GPRS in my SE w880, a few of my colleagues are having the same problem and were just looking to see if its only us or are other users having the same problems?
Using RC8.
Thanks In Advance
I havent noticed this problem yet, but I could assume its down to the data connection and the "mms data" connection being two different settings.
On my Hermes (WM) I couldnt send a mms without disconnecting my internet connection and allowing the phone to connect to the mms data connection.
WM could be altered to use the data connection to send MMS'. I assume the G1 wants to keep the data connection open all the time (which on 2g/gsm is your one and only connection) and this prevents MMS' being sent.

My AT&T plan for my SMT5600 has free picture and video sending, but no data plan. My first question is, does MMS use a data connection such as GPRS? If it doesn't, how can I disable the GPRS so I don't accidently connect? If MMS does use a GPRS connection, how can I disable GPRS for IE Pocket but keep it enabled for MMS? Short and sweet, I don't want any data charges on my bill. Thanks!
