T-Mobile MDA US - GPRS Internet Services (T-Zones, etc)

What are you guys using to connect to the internet? I can do everything I want with T-zones unlimited, using the proxy... however, if I use the proxy, I can't connect to wi-fi because it wants to try to connect thru the proxy. What services are you using and what are your settings?
Thanks,
Danny

i will use
I wont get my MDA till monday according to UPS, but when i get it i plan on getting the Total Internet plan for 29.99. it includes GPRS, EDGE and Hot Spots. That is the plan the tmobile is advertizing with this phone.

I have the T-Mobile total internet package. I am not using the proxy server, and it connects to Hotspot just great.
However, I have not tried to access T-Zones. Well, I tried once, and got a network solutions 'page coming soon' thing. I doubt I have it correct. lol

hot spot
how does the hot spot autentication work?
im assuming they made it so i wouldnt be able to just put in my username and password on my laptop and log it into a hotspot.

I have unlimited internet 19$ plan.
I don't use any proxy server.
I don't think you can use the regular t-zone on this phone ($9 plan).
Otherwise all good, just use: internet2.voicestream.com in the gprs setup and the rest emty.

my 5.99 tmobileweb with proxy works very well with any website using internet explorer mobile. it doesn't work, however, with outlook or any other mail client or application that doesn't know how to use proxy. i'm glad that virtual earth 1.5 works well even with my tmobileweb plan.
as for the problem that the original poster described, in the connection settings, i created a connection especially for wifi. and to switch between wifi and tmobileweb, i go to 'select networks' and choose which ever connection i want in the two drop-down lists that i have.

Proxy Setup
msafi,
What are the settings for setting up the proxy? I used the proxy with my Nokia 6600 just fine, but, cannot get it to work on the MDA Wizard.
Thanks, SK

MSN Messenger via WIFI/BT

Hi,
Maybe I'm not looking in the right direction but:
I'm able to loggon to MSN Messenger without any problems if I use a GPRS connection. I have an @msn.com address and alreaddy deleted the AutoDomain registry key. Everything works like a charme.
If I try to connect through WIFI or and (ActiveSync) BlueTooth connection however after minutes of trying I get an error "Logon to MSN Messenger Service failed because the service is not responding". I need to try again later. Yeah right...
I can surf the internet or use an internet connection on any other program without any problems through both WIFI and BT.
Any ideas? I can't imagine T-Mobile did something to prevent the use of messenger without using their GPRS connection; it's flat fee.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Cacti

I'm using a shortcut to instmsgr.exe, and a few days ago I couldn't connect to MSN Messenger. I think the problem appeared after a hard reset.
I don't think your problem is the exact same problem as I had - I think mine wouldn't connect to MSN Messenger through activesync either. But here's what I did:
I had to log in once via "Pocket MSN" (pmsn.exe), after that it has worked to use the shortcut to insmsgr.exe.

Skype/Live Messenger via EDGE ?

I have setup all my programs to work through EDGE by using a proxy but those 2 programs are giving me problems, unless its a WiFi connection they cannot connect
I've tried setting up different connections and using the Skype proxy but it still does not work
has any1 been able to get them to work through EDGE/GPRS ?

as I posted in an earlier post. you cant use messenger, skype, or any IM programs unless you switch to t-mobile's $20 a month data plan. t-zones only gives you internet access on your pocketpc.

Web n Walk MSN weirdness

I have 2 sim cards with data plans, each displaying different behaviour:
web n walk professional:
cannot connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
CAN connect to MSN via Messenger on Kaiser
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
cannot connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
web n walk plus:
CAN connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
CAN connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
Anyone have any idea why it's inconsistent? Surely the Windows Messenger and Trillian are both connecting to messenger.hotmail.com : 1863
Ideas?

Have you checked if your connection works through a proxyserver? I had all sorts of connection problems when I turned the proxy on...

I have had same problem with vodaphone. I mailed them that msn did not want to connect when proxy was on. They advised me to simply turn off the proxy on my phone.
Greetings from a vastloper from holland.

if you read the terms of use with the different services you will see that the different packages allow for differnt uses, ie voip & msn... also using the sim as a modem for a pc is prhibated with the lower tarriffs... you may find wifirouter as a nice work around

Opera And MSN~

Hi All ..
Im having this problem recently, work fine few days back ...
I enabled HSDPDA / HSUPDA connection, and connect using GPRS thru my mobile line provider... Sometimes i just stick to 3G instead of the H signal..
Last time i can use MSN Messenger and Surf Opera together, and my connection will state 2 connection, first is GPRS (3G) Singtel Usage, 2nd, GPRS Internet (3G) Singtel Usage..
Which enables to me use both application at the same time...
But now, i dont know what happen to my phone or connection, it only uses 1 connection at a time, and ... Whenever i use msn, i cannot browse Opera, ERROR message come out state, "check my active connection, make sure no other application using the same connection". Or, i activate opera, then i will lose connection to MSN Messenger...
I tried using MSN Messenger and Internet Explorer, it works, IE just tag the existing connection and connect the net. But opera need a new connection,
How do i enable opera to connect to my existing connection, without disconnecting my MSN Messenger connection working at the background ?
Thanks ....
