well so much for $20 for unlimited GPRS from t-mobile...
it's now FREE!!
I just found out T-Mobile has free unlimited GPRS.
The thing is, it's limited to webbrowsing and POP email.
If you pay $0, you get access to ports 80, 110, and 25. it's supposed to be wap only but it accesses http sites as well.
downside: cant access ssl, ftp, instant messenger, etc (anything that uses other ports). for that, you have to pay the $20 per month.
i just dumped my $20/month plan this evening cause i can do without those other ports, is it wooth $20/month to use IM? i dont think so. free unlimited gprs webbrowsing owns
oh yeah, and the aim client on the ppc can be set to port 80, so it works.
now i switched from internet2.voicestream.com (which stopped working for me once i called in and cancelled the $20/month data plan) to wap.voicestream.com and i still browse sites, send email, etc.
no bank site access (ssl) but bank access isn't worth $20/month, i'll wait to be on my desktop for that.

you are a... GENEOUS!! (is that how its spelled? )
now, have u figured out how to get and send MMS from pocket pc, without ordering Tzones? :roll:
MMS is no longer part of the T-Zones. With the same changes for the "Included WAP Access" also came "Unlimited Picture Messaging". They've made it where you don't have to do T-Zones for sending/receiving MMS. HOWEVER, you are charged $0.25/MMS that you send/receive. There is a promotion for $4.99/mo that gives you Unlimited Picture messaging through 12/31/04. After that date it reverts down to 50 for the $4.99.
Hope that sheds some light now on the matter.
Thanks for that info. I'm Looking forward to using it when i get my XDA II in a few days.
They won't list zero cost features on the site. All phone plans come with the free WAP access now. If your phone isn't working with it, contact Customer Care and ask them if it's on your account. They will add it i'm sure.
It was originally setup to allow customers to download ringtones and wallpaper without signing up for the monthly fee. Seems like this is a small little suprise for us tho!
I tried it and is not working for me. Are you sure that I can just call CS and they'll add it to my account?. I don't want to spoil people's luck. Maybe is an oversight from them
Ive used both, and if your not going to use the gprs for anything too overbaring go 4 it, but with the wap access, it limits alot, plus is significantly slower
btw: im sure TMO will charge u for sumthing extra sooner or later
(pps) (i have a feeling there are undercover TMO employees spying) :!:
you need to use the address wap.voicestream.com
it's not slower, it's the same speed.
it is limited in that you only get web browsing and emails (ports 25, 80, 110 and 143 for smtp, http, pop, and imap respectivly), if you want all the ports (for instant messaging, ftp, ssl, etc) you need to get the $20/month data plan.

so then why was it that when i was downloading a 2mb file it would take 15-20 minz....not it takes 5-7 minz :?:
OK, I tried and it keeps not working for me, I called T-mo and they say that that is only for regular handsets, that for us, we would need a data plan, they even xferred me to tier2 people, (which were clueless) and he said that in order for me to take advantage of the internet, I have to pay.
I said for the to reset my settings in their end, but they said that they have nothing to reset, since I don't have any data plan.
I have tried all, changed the internet2.voicestream.com for wap.voicestream.com, try making a new connection, with all those settings, and nothing. Anybody know any clues?
try internet3.voicestream.com
-arebelspy
internet3.voicestream.com is for their VPN option ($19.99/mo)
internet2.voicestream.com is for their non-VPC option ($19.99/mo)
wap.voicestream.com is for their WAP service (all other devices)
I thought I also saw somewhere the address wap.myvoicestream.com. Now I can't remember which one works.
internet3 has worked for some people without data plans (only the free wap service). no idea why.
try them all to try to make it work, lol.

Yea its the T-Zones home page, try it and see ( http://wap.myvoicestream.com ).
Oh yea I forgot to mention that it only works with a WAP browsers.
HTH
what are the instructions for setting this up? I just opened IE and it works but I wonder if im being charged per minute?
Nope, T-Mobile no longer counts MBs, minutes, anything. Every plan has free browsing (free access to ports 25, 80, 110, and 143).

can't email other than optonline???
i have the imate ... i set up the account with my email as [email protected] using mail.optonline.net incoming /outgoing now i can recieve from everyone ..i can only email out to another @optonline.net account .......no @aol.com or business account [email protected](my business address at work)... so what iam doing wrong....please help
I swear! I didnt think T-mobile could get any ... more ... better than AT&T. I was, once again, wrong.
the pge http://wap.myvoicestream.com does not seem to come up on PocketIE - a post above says that PIE can handle wml pages...
So, is the address incorrect, or is it PIE that cannot handle WAP?

Does anyone know how 02 would bill you for GPRS if you use a PAYG sim and use GPRS?
Im thinking of stopping my O2 contract and converting to PAYG and using the settings shown elsewhere to connect to GPRS.
Is anyone else doing this?
Thanks
Gordon
GPRS on PAYGO
Been there done that.
if you use a PAYGO sim in your xda you will not get full internet access.
I thought you could use a different proxy port ?
What about the article in Tekguru?
http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=27155#27155
Apparently it is possible.
Gordon
I have full internet access, found the details on this very forum. Unfortunately, only works for web pages, not messenger etc.
Conect through the proxy: 193.113.200.195 on port 8080 and it works a treat.
Thanks
Do you get billed for it?
If so does it just disapear off of your balance?
Gordon
Having the same probs as Kevin been told several times now can not get internet on xda with pasyg just o2 active. even followed several pasyg settings and still no joy ??
I don't know how I get billed for it, but I'm sure I do. Just looking at web pages doesn't cost too much I'd expect though.
Here's what I've done.
To connect:
~~~~~~~~
1. Set up a new work connection:
Name: Whatever you want, I normally use "O2 GPRS"
Address: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: payandgo
Password: password
2. Go back to the connections menu, tap "set up proxy server"
Click the two checkboxes, enter the proxy server address:
193.113.195.200
Then tap on advanced. On the top row you'll se something like:
HTTP 193.113.195.200 80
Change the last column so the row looks like:
HTTP 193.113.195.200 8080
3. Go and impress your mates in the pub by showing them mobile porn.
Do you have any idea what this surfing costs ?
I know that simple WAP pages cost about 1 pence per page.
Thanks
Does anybody know the cost of pay as you go browsing ?
i use an o2 genie sim card (payg) and get 1MB of browsing free everytime i top up with £10, as for cost per MB am not certain but it may be as much as £1.35 per MB?
anyone know for sure?

i,m using 1 of those 300 free txt sim's and have yet to be charged for any gprs activity. use somewhere around 3-5mb p/month for the last 8-10 months.
So I have read plenty of times about people access the Tmobile data without having a data package. Currently I do not have a data package, I took it off my plan. I wanted to know if someone could help me out with the connection settings for a Tmobile wing. I keep finding instructions for free internet but its for the dash and i dont have a couple options they are asking for. I have a Wing with touch it 2.3. What do i need to do, delete the old settings and add new connections?? help would be awesome, anybody that is working with the wing or that rom that could help, or point me to a thread, i would appreciate it tremendously. Also, i'm in Orlando and i have seen posts of people here in orlando with the dash getting free internet.
Thanks guys!
I've always had the data plan, so I don't know. But here's a post I found in another forum

Thats just about correct. I actually just figured it out before you posted. Thank you anyway.
BTW any possibilities of making the homepage google?
Im answering my own question but thought others would find it usefull too.
To do this you have to edit the registry. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/AboutURLs. Then there is a value for "home" Change it to whatever. You have to put http://
The dataplan is only $20, lol.. I'm gonna laugh when these guys try and get "free" internet then all of sudden end up with a $400 data bill.
For years, I've been paying close to $40 a month for the data plan ... so when they took it down to $19, I'm not complaining.
I had the data plan when it was $9.99 or $11.99 @ month and all the sudden they canceled out the whole data plan and stuck me with t-zones. I got back on the data plan but was bummed they screwed me over. In case anyone doesn't know the t-mobile data package comes with "Hotspots" but you have to configure it on a separate web page. Good Luck getting CS to explain how to do it they will try and sell you another package along with the $19.99 fee. But "Hotspots" is part of the data package already.
Well, I had the data plan for a long while and realized that the amount that i use it, it truely isnt worth the money for the amount that i use it. I am on a flex pay account, prepaid, so i pay for my service a month in advance and I keep no money in my flex account, which is where they deduct charges that i pay for per service (data, minutes after i exceed my total, text messages etc) I dont know how they would charge me if that was the case
I use the data plan like crazy... various of my email accounts come to my phone directly and I use IM and all sorts of craziness on there ... so I would die without it. hah
is it free???
someone plz reply,
i dont have any data plan on my tmob wing,and i did setting in wap according to above and i am able to get internet,
i have question is it free??
i just started using it recently and i have not got any bill yet,do they charge for this???
help plz i am newbie did search but couldnt fine any post which say free...
plz
for someone using open touch 3.0 biggy can they help with the proper settings? i am unable to get this to work. when i have it setup i goto IE and load pages the error i always get is Error not authorized.....
worked flawlessly thx

yup cuz while we have unlimited they're gonna be charged by their usage and its def not cheaper.
I put together these cabs for T-mobile data plans. I have the $5.99 plan so I haven't tested the other ones, but people have told me they work.
the $5.99 cab automatically sets up the proxy.
All the cabs set up connections so that GPRS is not used unless no other connections (WIFI or Activesync) are available.
MMS (for ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 but it probably works for other versions) sets size limit to 600k and will not resize pictures (I think T-mobile limits MMS data to 300k).
Cool, members are always looking for tmob setup cab's!
So, gprs internet2.voicestream.com is part of the 29.99 plan cab?
Yes:
29.99 = internet2.voicestream.com
39.99 = internet3.voicestream.com
I think they must've changed prices...
Which one do I use if I have the unlimited data for $20/month?
Thanks

This was the ONLY way I could get the 5.99 t-zones plan to work on my windows mobile 6.1 tilt. Great work man!
Close, but....

Well, it half works. Before using your CAB, I couldn't get Opera Mobile 8.65 to connect at all through the proxy on my HTC Touch Cruise. Now, I can make normal connections in Opera through the proxy, but still can't get HTTPS to connect. No problems connecting with wifi.
UPDATE 10/29/07: I had occasion to revisit these cabs when my friendly neighborhood IT group screwed up my network connections with some automated script they forced down my phone. After running tmobyjoe599.cab again, things were all fixed. I also had no problems with HTTPS and Opera.
I think t-mobile blocks the port on the $5.99 plan. HTTPS uses port 443. You could try some different ports and if you find one that works, let me know and I'll update the CAB.
The settings for Tmo's proxy are:
HTTP 216.155.165.50:8080
WAP 216.155.165.50:9201
Secure WAP 216.155.165.50:9203
Socks 216.155.165.50:1080216.155.165.50:1080
and this is what my system shows. The Tmo proxy is unauthenticated, so I tried to test against it using my laptop and wifi. Manually setting the FF3 HTTP proxy to 216.155.165.50:8080, and leaving all the other proxy options blank, I had no trouble bringing up HTTPS pages.
maybe it has something to do with the access point (wap.voicestream.com)

That's not really an access point. It's a conventional proxy which serves to restrict most anything but web or mail access, but otherwise doesn't restrict traffic.

Would someone kindly explain what the above cabs are for? I don't want to make any assumptions, but do the cabs provise software to make an unlocked HTC Wizard work as if its a T-Mobile device at the various rate plans - assuming your sim has that plan?
Is the $5.99 the prepaid plan?
I just bought used MDA and am using my prepaid SIM. Having trouble with tzones working - though admittedly it doesn't do much.
Thanks in advance for the help.
tried but didnt seem to work on vs 24 rickywatts 6.1
does this still work?? i have a tmobile wing with touch it rom
The only way to find out if it works for YOU is to try it. Please let us know....
great work!!
Works like a charm! I thought they might have shut down the proxy for the 5.99 plan. Is there a MMS cab that I didn't see? Again thanks alot.
Should I delete all my existing proxies?
I have proxy settings in
settings..Connections....Proxy
should I remove them before applying the tmobyjoe CAB?
what is the "new-inet:1159" proxy server in the Kavana ROM? Is that just rubbish or what?
Also, I don't understand why there are so many proxies and connections. Is there something I can read to understand the relative significance of
"work" "TMobile MMS" "Tmobile Data" "WAP Network" "Secure WAP Network" and "The Internet"
and then the various proxies that route to these various networks?
I don't get why it is so complicated and why I need so many networks and proxies and so on.
i can recieve my yahoo emails giving me cannot connect with this settings?
i can recieve my yahoo emails giving me cannot connect with this settings? i had it working but now its not connecting to recive my emails
Hey everyone. I've added the $5.99 service to my account and I've tried both manually entering the settings and I've tried the CAB for the $5.99 service. No joy...
I can't download email and when trying to browse the web at all GPRS connects, the page tries to load and then I get the following error:
"Error: Requested content
'www.google.com/' cannot be accessed.
You do not have access to the site."
What am I doing wrong?
Also, in the GPRS Settings do I want PAP Auth. or CHAP Auth. selected? It's on PAP Auth.
I live in Denver, CO, if it makes any difference.
Thanks!
EDIT: Interestingly enough it's working now... of course something else had to break, I can't connect to the net via USB now. No biggie, never used that anyway.
Hi all
i hv modified the htc netwizard for Airtel settings in India.Now this will properly install all the airtel settings to the device.
Airtel internet settings (postpaid 500 RS/month)
Airtel Live setings (free both on postpaid and prepaid)
Airtel NOP setings (for prepaid 100 Rs/month)
Airtel MMS settings (for both)
now u just need to know which plan u hv opted and use the respective setting from network connections.
By default the Airtel internet settings will work.
>>>>>U MUST install the arcsoft mms first before running the netwizard so the the mms settings will work.<<<<<if it is not so run netwizard again.>>>
For Delhi users the netwizard will auto detect the setting and for other states
u should select the country and network manually.
The cab will also work for all countries but the modifications r made on Airtel India only.
Please let me know if u face any issue.
Great job..
all the ppls who tried this let me know about issue u hv faced. if it is working well, i m also going to modify it for vodaphone, idea and dolphin. plz also quote the settings for other carriers.
(if u r posting the settings plz be sure that they r working on ppc.)
it works on airtel
Forgot to mention, it works for me, however the default was airtel internet settings, which i feel is fine.
I changed to airtel live and it worked.

HI
I have Touch p3452
I have tried both methods, steps suggested by eshwarn and .cab file from krishnan....
Nothing happens after installing '.CAB' file. neither 'Airtel Live" appears in network management setting nor any icon of "Netwizard appears anywhere inside 'programs' menu. How how to run the netwizard after installing ??
but 1st option works. I can browse thru airtel live... Mine is postpaid connection and i m yet to get monthly bill wherein i can check if i m being charged...
But the biggest problem is, once i switch of device of change SIM card, all settings are lost and 'airtel live' connection does not show up.... Its really very troublesome to manually enter setting on every power up..
Pls suggest solution for this.
I wud also want to know, which sites are CHARGED under FREE airtel live.. (yahoo and google are charge.. but is orkut also charged?? what r charges ??)

If u r using prepaid- Activate MO (mobile office using *567# , then select 1 as input and ok). Once activated (i think they have become quite quick now and activate it almost instantly)
Go to connections and enter new connection as MO and in the alias enter - airtellive.com. Thats it. then go to Advanced tab under connection and select networks to use MO for all programs connecting to internet.
to deactivae it *567# and follow prompts.
Remember MO is not free on prepaid they charge 15 rs per day(i think unlimited data) and for post paid its 450 rs or 499 rs for unlimited.

The codes you have mentioned are NOT the same for all circles (Your mentioned codes do not work in Maharashtra). It is best to call Airtel (121 - Free call) and find out what the activation and deactivation codes are for your particular circle.
