Tmobile usa data plan $29.99 or blackberry plan $19.99 ???

Hi
i have a question on my tmobile mda in usa can i use black berry plan instead of $29.99 total internet package by tmobile please do reply to me if you know anything about it
Thanks

i have the blackberry plan. you won't be able to use the tmail email but you can set your own email server in pocket outlook

Im not sure how you want to use it, but all i wanted to do was surf the web and check my web-email on my MDA, and that 29.99 data plan seems rediculous. What I did was went online, and signed up for the "Tmobile Web" 5.99 package which supposedly allows you to use tmobiles portal for ringers and news ect. The thing is, i have full web access under that plan, i checked for any speed differences and couldn't find a thing wrong.
You do need to "trick" tmobiles website in order for someone with a MDA to get on there tmobile web plan, i told the site i switched my phone to a razr,(They have that little deal up to that tells you what phone your useing, and u can change it without really changing your phone) then went to plans, got rid of that 29.99 plan and added the 5.99, confirmed it, and switched back to mda, now my bills 30 bucks cheaper, and i have no less connection as far as i can tell.

Tmobile question for triple
What are your settings??? I try to browse the web and it doesnt work. I switched my phone online to a razr too.
Thanks!

Well, I went through just this today with our business account. Bought a Vario at the store for a colleague and they automatically moved the device from the BB plan to the Internet plan at $29.99 as of course they don't support BB Connect so we couldn't possibly need it for that. Returned to office, blew out the ROM with the UK Ship, BB Connect etc. Phone TMO, switched the plan on the SIM to the $19.99 BB plan and bingo, full net access, unlimited downloads for streaming media and BB services. You gotta wonder at their insane pricing plans really....LOL

dude i have cingular and the plans are just as expensive if not more expensive..
because my 8125 is considered a pda.. i cant even use the basic web packages they offer..
have to get a full fledged data plan

the T-MobileWeb only allows you to route your HTTP traffic through their HTTP proxy server... all other ports are closed off.. its not so bad if you just need to surf the net but don't plan on your messengers or anything else working. I currently have an MPx220 so I don't quite know the settings you would need to set it up on a PPC.

The BB plan works fine with MSN Messenger and MSN Mobile etc (plus agile messenger and others)

hey fellows the black berry plan is working like a dream on my tmobile mda

T-mobile GPRS/EDGE

I know that topic could have been many times but I can't find now.... I've just came to US and I got t-mobile sim card. I put it into my Wizard and I don't know how to connect to internet through GPRS/EDGE.... I have latest original HTC rom....

Hey, welcome to Chicago - I'll be getting back there in a couple of weeks.
Anyways, do you have T-Mobile ToGo (prepaid) or a contract? Data services aren't offered for prepaid plans. If you're on a contract, what kind of data plan are you on? T-Zones or the $30/month plan?

Hi
I am on a contract on T-Zones.....

If your using the 5.99 T-Zones plan you will need to set up the proxy settings to get full internet access. This link will help you set it up.

and yet i don't have any data plan... i have only normal plan Get More Plus PROMO SmartAccess. Do I have change my plan to data plan (t-zones or $30/month)?

I am also on the get more smart access, and this plan is for users without any credit or bad credit. so some services including tmobile total internet ($30/month) cannot be added for a year or so. but u can use Tzones for $5.99 anyways the internet acess with it is worth it

ok thanks... so how to activate those t-zones?

OK, i did everything according to that link ---> http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=939762

Thanks a TON for posting this link. I finally have full internet acess with my HTC wizard on T-zones.

Cingular data plan options?

I have an old AT&T converted Cingular account that I originally got with an SMT5600 smartphone. I have been using it in a HTC Wizard for the last year.
I looked at the Cingular version of the Hermes yesterday, and I an tempted to upgrade, but I kind of balked at the data plan cost! the want $40 a month now! I have been paying $25 for unlimited data, and now they want to almost double that!
Has anyone tried, and been successful, putting and old SIM from AT&T or Cingular into one of these - keeping their current old data plan and being able to use 3G speeds?

I have with no problems I have the old Blue ATT SIM with the $24.99 unlimited mMode plane works great in my TyTn with 3G

The biggest factors in considering one plan over the other are the following:
- do you use Cingular's proxy
- do you use WiFi (which doesn't play well with the proxy settings)
- do you use Exchange ActiveSync / PushMail
- are you a big SMS user
- do you care about Cingular Video
- do you need access to ISP.CINGULAR (as opposed to WAP.CINGULAR), which includes a static ip address
PDAConnect (39.99/mo) needs no proxy and works better with PushMail, but does not include SMS or Cingular Video. This is the better plan for me personally.
I say try using the cheaper plan and see how it works for you...

marka2k, you just made my day!
That's great news...
... Maybe the really sneaky thing to do would be to go with any new (free) Cingular phone, get the 19.99 per month plan, and then switch....

goestoeleven,
I'm OK with current functionality, I would of course not mind the higher speed. I never use WiFi really.
I've heard that the Cingular connection works better than the old AT&T for things like radio streaming...

You won't get any new Cingular phone while staying on old AT&T plan. You'll have to buy an unlocked phone elsewhere.

I was referring to buying some generic Cingular phone with their 19.99 plan, and then buying a Hermes unlocked.

get the free phone

actually, that's what I did. I got a free RAZR phone (good for when I drive the motorcycle). I am on the MEdia Net plan for $19.99 that includes 200 SMS (and/or MMS). The MEdia Net plan works just fine with my unlocked TyTN.
The issue with the proxy is easy to work around. Set up the My ISP connection without the proxy, and the Work connection using the proxy. If you need the proxy, just go to IE and connect to wsp://device.home IE will then connect using the proxy & you can go from there...

from my experience they have never made me get the pda connect crap, i have always had the media net unlimited.. actually i just upgraded my data plan to the extreme that includes the 3k text and i even told them i had the 8525, they said ok and that there is promo where the first month is free and added it to my account

I have a few accounts, one of them being a legacy AT&T Wirelss plan.
The way I look at is, there is no reason to pay $480.00 a year($40.00 a month for 12 month) for a pda connect plan if you do not need the isp.cingular apn or the need to bypass the proxy server.
IMHO, I would buy the device at full retail, keep your AT&T plan and over the long run, save money on not upgrading to CNG and not paying for incoming txt messages.

Thanks guys!

So it sounds to me that I could take a SIM card from one of my smart card, with the $19.99 unlimited data plan and use it on my 8525. Of course it would now have that phones number. Is this right?
Thanks

your number is stored on that card, doesnt matter what phone its in (as long as its compatible with your provider)

cingular data plan
I signed up for new service and got an 8525. the media max and plans showed up as options. now with cingular online acct management, I can sign up for smartphone connect (i have) or media max plans, or pda connect for 20 more. the cingular proxy is only needed for connecting to their media net servers. so far I haven't needed or wanted to do that. there is a guide on how to set it up in the forum somewhere as a separate connection.
my download speeds from dslreports wap site are 650-800k. sometimes I have a long wait to download a page, but I think it isn't related to the data plan.
I haven't had anyone from cingular try to make me get pda connect, and i'm pretty sure it won't change the data service quality on my phone.

i just run the My Isp connection and it dont use the proxy, i have a regular unlimited data plan, i average over 400meg a month in data alone and all for the low price of the media max bundle, isnt life great

Anyone got a more detailed FAQ on the ISP settings?
I'd like to know what the differances are, addresses of the proxies..
ETC..
I've been trying to read up on everything..
Thanks!

Proxies Proxies Everywhere...
I have an 8525 with the default Cingular Settings.
First off.
Do I need the Proxy Settings?
I don't use any of Cingulars Services, nor do I care to.
I would like to use WIFI more if it worked right. (seams to be the Proxy Issue)
I do use the Web, Connect to servers and other machines, and basically do everything I do I my computer (at least everything I am able to do)
I also travel in Europe at times..
Or if I need one am I able to setup a Proxy Server of my own?
Any Benefit?
Or If I have to use a Cingular one is there a difference between the ISP.CINGULAR.COM, WEP.CINGULAR.COM and the WIRELESS.CINGULAR.COM
Thanks

I've contacted Cingular regarding the Static IP previously. They told me that the Data Plan Unlimited (which I'm on now) does not come with a static ip, that I share my IP with other users. This was a great let down for me, as I've seen other companies provide this with absolutely no problems. Would you be able to direct me on who I need to talk to, or what I need to say, to get this enabled on my account?

I do the 39(think it is 39 second from top unlimited plan).
I pay extra for text messages and save 5$ from the higher up plan (which does come with more messages, but I never use them).
My question is, for $5 more a month would I gain anything else to make it worth paying more?
Not sure what use a proxy and static ISP would be over what I use now.
Thanks in advance!
Q

AMEN Shogun, i use the mediamax 1000 plan. i used it with the 8125 and when i had a Nokia 7710. Never had any problems at all. Even tho when i bought my 8125 the guy in the store swore up and down that there was no way the mediamax would work on that phone. He told me i would be back to change it after a week. lol. I told him to just leave my account alone. i need to check out this 3k plan kuzz i need more text

data access with 5.99 t mobile web

I decided that since all i do is browse, I took off my bb data plan which was 20 bucks a month to try the 5.99 tzones proxy method. Followed all instructions and I finally got it to work, but now its back to what it was doing which is giving me errors and not connecting. Anyone got this to work properly without any problems? I have a g3 CID unlocked with the NBD rom...

T-mobile wap will not work after flashing dutty's 6.1 rom

I've spent countless hours on the phone with T-mobile customer care, days searching the net. I tried basically every single setting possible and no matter what I do I can't connect to the internet or send MMS on my Tilt at all. Does anyone have any Idea how to get wap or mms working for t-mobile on windows mobile 6.1?

I'm hoping that you already have a data plan, if not then you might want to add it by calling the Tmobile or just add it by logging through the website. This is what I use on mine:
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Add or Manage new connection and on Access Point Name (APN) wap.voicestream.com and hit next and just click finish.
Good Luck

thanks for the help

I had the 5.99 t-zones package which worked fine on windows mobile 6.0. After flashing 6.1 It wouldn't work and I do have the access point set to wap.voicestream.com, I'm not one to just post a question without doing my research. I tried numerous different settings and followed numerous tutorials but nothing works. I finally resorted to ordering the $19.99 Internet package and oddly it works just fine now, instead of using the access point wap.voicestream.com I changed it to internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 internet plan. It sucks however that I have to pay 15 dollars a month extra to enjoy what I paid only 5.99 a month for before. The reason why I don't switch back to WM 6.0 is because I have grown accustomed to the threaded sms and it's a feature I really don't want to give up. I know there's threaded sms application but nothing can compare to having it built in. If anyone has a fix for this or can give some idea's please do. I'd much rather revert back to paying 5.99 a month as opposed to the 19.99 I began paying a month today.

this is a cab file I made for the tmo $5.99 plan and arscsoft mms 4.2.8.1. It works on my wm6 rom. Maybe it'll work for you.

I will give it a try now, I have to call T-mobile and have them switch me back to the 5.99 plan. I've got my fingers crossed.
::EDIT::
After I installed your .cab file and had t-mobile switch my plan to the 5.99 t-zones it now WORKS!! Flawlessly. Dude you don't know how many threads I came across with so many people that had the same problem and just could not get this working. Maybe you should make it's own thread for this that I can link people to with the same problem, that way you'll get the credit for you work and people from other forums can be directed to xda-developers.
Again thank you for this, I really appreciate it!

Good Idea, I originally posted these in Lurches thread but he has removed his, and these were buried pretty deep.
