I am trying to configure my wizard (8125 lokiwiz unlocked) to work on my tmobile data plan.I don't have the unlimited internet and hotspot plan for tmobile, i have the unlimited WAP plan. I just can't figure out how to get it to work, the tmobile tech people didnt sound experienced with the wizard but they said its possible. Do any of you know teh correct settings and how to enter them. I was able to work it out on WM2003 but WM5 is really confusing. Perhaps someone with an MDA and the similar plan could let me know what theirs is configured for.

I saw the issue of tmobile's WAP discussed I believe on howardforums.com . At least from what I remembered from the discussion was that tmobile was to be fading out its WAP service which also had unintended consequences for people using tmobile's blackberry sevices. I did however download the tmobile cab files from club-imate which placed a wap configuration for tmobile in My Work Network configurations setup. Good luck.
Bro, its simple, go to settings, connections, connections, then add a new modem connection, Then put in where it says "enter a name for the connection" T-Mobile GPRS Wap" or what ever your want. Then below select GPRS where it says select a modem. click on next after that and enter in wap.voicestream.com then click on next and then finish. You do not need to put anything else in. Thats it your are done. I have five PPC from the XDA on up and no problems on any.
Cheers,
Mike
thanks mike, hmm now the phone just says locating... if i try to load a wap site like wap.yahoo.com for instance. I am connected to the GPRS connection, its just not loading up sites.
hey eb, was that cab from an original tmobile rom, or was it part of the euro tmobile roms that was just released. I have been looking for a copy of the tmobile rom from back in nov.

The tmobile cab I got from clubimate is for the US, and as far as I can tell it is not the euro tmobile settings. I also tried the wap connect and got dumped into my GPRS connection to. The steps Mike described is how it looks in my network connections. I remember back when tmobile was voicestream and using my laptop via cellphone to connect, one had to start at voicestream's wap home page. Just a suggestion.
try a differnt AP like internet2.voicestream.com
some people have had success using that....I myself discourge this, however, it works it works...
internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com will only work if you have a tmobile unlimited internet account which is 19.99 a month not a wap account. What services are on your account?
mike you're right....i thought he had the 19.99 unlim internet plan...i think he needs a t-mo proxy for it to work....i'll google this and post back later...
okay here's what i found....i think the proxy thing is the what might be relevant..
http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/lofiversion/index.php?t9404.html
That is correct, for the wap, and mms the proxy has to be put in. I am soooo lazy. I reflash my Universal so much, I got tired of putting the mms setting back in. LOL
Mike
hmm so after messing around with more settings, still nothing works. Perhaps its because im trying to connect to restricted WAP sites. anyone know the tzones website/homepage? Or perhaps someone that actually has the correct settings for $9.99 tzones on a WIzard can help me with the settings.
Just put out 19.99 and you will have full access!

I was told they no longer had the 19.99 plan, that it is only the 29.99 plan. What's the trick to still getting the 19.99 plan?
Dawm that includes hotspots now. I was paying 19.99 for gprs and 19.99 for hotspot service. Heh. I guess they don't have 19.99 gprs internet only now. Sucks. But thanks, I am going to call and save 10.00 a month. hehe
Mike
They are getting rid of the back door to using the WAP as online access for the PDA's. They are going to go to the full data. You will have to have the 29.99 Total Internet Plan which is unlimited data and email and hotspot. There were a lot of people paying the lower amounts and trying to use it on the PDA and it was causing issues and the data group had to try and solve them and there were things that just couldn't be solved becuase the provisiong of the WAP is different then the internet2.voicestream.com. Just pay the 30 bucks and get it all.
If i sign up for the T-Mobile US T-zones 5.99 plan will i be able to access internet through my pocket pc or do i have to pay for the 30.00 plan?
My Phone = T-Mobile MDA US
IPL/SPL 2.26
G3
CID/SIM unlocked
Xplore 2.0 WM6 ROM
You might wanna ask T-Mobile for that? Wouldn't help ya if somebody says YES and it was not true in the end ...

Just purchase the 5.99 plan. Then edit ur existing connection and select this network connects thru proxy server and put this in the proxy box. getmorespeed.voicestream.com or getmorespeed.voicestream.net. and you will then be able to access full internet
alright thanks, now all i have to do is buy the plan.
Currently, Tmobile has unlocked their network, so you won't need to use a proxy to get online. You will have full access through the $5.99/month plan.
I've had the T-Mobile 5.99 web package for 2 years now and I've always been able to access any web page I want. It's definitely not the speediest though.
It seems that Tmobile has locked their network again. It's back to proxy 216.1551.65.50:8080 people.

Does this mean that by using this proxy, all ports are open for the web? Or only specific are allowed?

Does this work for t-mobile to go prepaid or only for contracts? i tried putting in the setting's for it and it does'nt work. and which one exactly do you have to input in the proxy server? 216.1551.65.50 or getmorespeed.voicestream.com??

This should work for both if you are paying for the T-Zones. I used to be on T-Zones and T-Mobile used to lock and unlock the ports (HTTP,FTP,POP,SMTP,etc.) from time to time. But now they have unlocked the ports. So the best way to get a cheap plan with all ports unblocked is to get the Blackberry Data Plan that costs $20. It does not have the HotSpots stuff, only GPRS access. And if you have an EDGE device or even better a 3G device, you will have great speeds on your mobile phone. But if you want both GPRS and HotSpot, then go with the $30 Data Plan.
As for the proxy, you will enter 216.155.65.50 (you got an extra 1 in 155). The getmorespeed.voicestream.com is for the APN that you input when creating the connection.

hi, ive had the 5.99 plan for awhile, it works good with 216 proxy number, but the speed isnt fast, my apn name is wap.voicestream.com, and I tried getmorespeed.voicestream.com for AOn, but it did not work, can u please explain how do you have your settings configured
Use wap.voicestream.com instead. As far as I know, getmorespeed.voicestream.com no longer works. Atleast it doesn't work fo me either.
I am using internet2.voicestream.com since I have the $20 plan. I don't need a proxy for this data plan.
- TKN
it's wap.voicestream.com for the 5.99/plan, internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 plan. You only need the 19.99 plan if you plan on using your phone as a modem...
I cannot wait to try this $20 plan with a 3G enabled phone and see what speeds I will get ...

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

I have an unlocked Focus that I'm trying to get working with my 9.99 unlimited web plan on TMobile. It works fine with my iphone using the internet2.voicestream.com apn, but when i try browsing the web on my focus, it brings me to a page that says i don't have a web plan. I have also tried wap.voicestream.com and epc.tmobile.com. The strange thing is, I got it working for a few hours with internet2.voicestream.com using a username of voicestream with no pw, but that stopped working, and re-attempts have not helped.
Is there a known issue with the focus getting internet access on tmobile?
hmmm... did you get this working?

You are not alone.
Please report back if any of the APN's listed do the trick.
I bought an unlock focus flash on ebay and internet (edge) work right out of the box. I only have to configured the apn for mms using wireless manager app. I am using simple 200 mb plan on T-mobile.
Hey All I did a search on the forums for this but didn't see an answer so wanted to put this question out there.
My work allowed me to upgrade my work phone from the standard BB to a Samsung Vibrant. When I got the phone and put my T-Mobile SIM in, the phone worked but internet would not. I called support and found out that this was because my plan through work was for BB internet not Android. The same SIM chip works fine in a Nexus One that I have. I get internet access and everything.
So I thought that maybe if I get my Vibrant unlocked then I would be able to bypass that BB Internet plan requirement. Through my work we got the unlock code from T-Mobile. The unlocked, rooted Vibrant running CM 7 still won't connect to the internet.
is there anyway I can get internet connectivity on the Vibrant, other than asking T-Mobile to change the plan?
Thank you in Advance.
You can try changing the APN under Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
although, I don't know what APN your plan uses.. you can research and find what APN your plan uses and it SHOULD work if you enter the right one...
But don't take my word for this. I can be wrong!
Btw, in the APN menu, is there anything there already?
Make sure u save the apn when done. Dont just exit out
