You can delete each 3g connection in settings/connections on your phone or use the NoData app to "toggle" each one

I'm just changing my tarriff to one of T-Mobile's Web & Walk things to get unlimited internet access.
I've been told that I get unlimited GPRS connection (within fair use policy blah blah) but what I'm worried about (and this may be a totally stupid thing!) is 3G.
When I don't have WI-FI access I get a message saying connecting to internet "GPRS, 3G". If there's no GPRS in that area, will it connect to a 3G service - or is that just for video calling??
If it is another way of connecting, is that free also?? Or will I be stung?
My main concern is I've got apps that will automatically load up the internet, and I don't want to get a large bill if the connect to something they shouldn't. I've looked through the settings but can't see how I would delete such a connection.
I've tried to talk to someone at T-Mobile about that, but, they seem to know as much about it as me.
Mate when your not in an area that picks up a 3g signal,it will drop to umts normal signal
and you can call but can use extended services like video talking,the net etc

So if I'm in a 3G area it will connect via that then? Ignoring the GPRS?
:-(
I may not be gettingthis right mate but I'm sure the gprs is provided over 3g.
when ever I'm not in a 3g area I can't connect anyother way
but when I'm in the 3g area content is available

Ahh, I think I know what you're saying, cheers, but that's not exactly what I meant
With a new tarrif that I'm joining I've been told I get free GPRS, but want to know if 3G would be included, or chargable, and if charged then how I can stop my phone from using 3G as I've no interest in video calling or owt like that anyway. Just call/text/simple web browsing.

I'm also using T-Mobile Web & Walk and yes, 3G is included in your unlimited data allowance. You can just allow your MDA to connect in whichever way it wants and you will not have to pay any additional data charges.
as has been said, all data is free if on web and walk BUT>>>>>
wap dial up isnt (will be listed as tmobile CS or similar in connections manager) these connections are charged at 'mobile on net' rates per minute that you are connected (or like when mine dialed up overnight costing £35 for 6 hours connection and less than 1mb of data )
GPRS is "2.5"G service as is EDGE, this data is billed per MB. this is included in WnW
3G data is just that, 3G. again billed per mb but also included in WnW
so as long as you dont use wap dialup (ive actually found the settings on my MDC2 and replaced some of the numbers with XXXX so that it can never physically dial up again anyway) then all your data calls, regardless of route will be included in your WnW price plan
That's fantastic news :-D
I know I would be worried, and checking the phone all hours to make sure otherwise (sad I know, but I'm tight... I admit it...)
I'll delete the WAP thing now... doubt I'll ever need it, never used it before.

Sorry....
I can't find it :-/
I go Settings/Connections/Connections/Manage Existing Connections
But the only one listed is T-Mobile Internet...
is it as I'm using a T-Mobile NL ROM and it's not been installed? Or Am I in the wrong place?
Regards.
Web'n'Walk'n'Pay
I am on Web'n'Walk; for my £20 a month I can surf/email without further thought on whether it says 'G' or 'U' in the top banner. Free, included. And with MSN Mobile, I've emailed freely on Hotmail from around the world for around 30p a day. My only complaint is that if there is a sniff of 3G reception, the MDA Pro latches onto it and ignores the much better GPRS reception, leaving me to watch it give up and reconnect, only to sniff that 3G again...
I too got stung by an overnight WAP connection and the resultant £35 bill even though im on 'walk n web'. I rang customers services who correctly told me that GPRS connection is included but WAP connection excluded but as a 'good will' gesture they would deduct £15 from the bill.
So question - how do you delete/amend the wap connection?
Wop WAP
WAP... stands for Computer Remote Access Protocol... :lol:
Sorry for being so thick, but I never realized there was such a thing as a wap connection. Would someone be so kind as to how explain how to disable it? TIA!
If you want to connect using GPRS only then surely can't you just select GSM in Phone Options instead of UMTS or GSM+UMTS? Then the phone will be forced to connect to your 2.5G/2G internet services.

WAP isn't a 3G service, so won't be exluded if you get rid of the UMTS will it? Anyone know how to put XXXX's in the number to stop it connecting?
Sorry if this is a repost question guys, I searched but didn't come up with anything.
Anyway, I just ordered this phone and I'm pretty excited about it, my question is, I have Cingular and I was wondering if my area is 3G and I do have the upgraded 3G sim card, would the phone automatically detect these settings and work on 3G? Also will I have to configure anything to make the internet work via cingular?
Just another random question, how is the GPS on this phone? I know it's not a SiRFIII chip, but how does it compare? Thanks.
It should work fine unless your SIM is very old. Check 3G coverage map at Cingular website to see if your area has coverage. You will need to create wap or isp internet setting according to your data plan. Search here or Google for detailed information.
GPS is functional. It is certainly not as good as SIRF III, but has been working OK for me so far. It takes a bit longer to fix and reception is relatively weak compared to my Qtek G100. I noticed in my area G100 gets about 10 satellights at first fix while P3600 gets 5~6, and gradually gets more later on.
Thanks for the response, I checked out the cingular website and I found all the WAP and MMS settings so that's out of the way. Now I'm wondering something, if Wifi is enabled on the P3600 and I use IE, will it work off of the Wifi? and when wifi isn't enabled, will it work off cingular's internet? I don't have an unlimited data plan so I don't want it using cingular's internet when I have wifi enabled.
You'll probably need a 3G enabled sim card. I had to switch my card with Orange when I got my P3600.
I've been having some trouble on the Cingular network whilst I've been on holiday.
Vegas has been fine with 3G and HSDPA when I've used it. Drove up to Albuquerque and couldn't log on at all. I had to switch the phone settings to GSM only from auto and then it worked fine. That was for the whole 4 days I was there. Back in Vegas and back to normal on auto.

Cingular left me a message to come in and change my sim card about 7 months ago and I got the sim card chagned, were they just upgrading me to a 3G sim? Is 3G really good voice quailty or something? Is it noticable?
i'm using Cingular with my Trinity (P3600) and all is working very well. i also have the Smartphone Connect (unlimited) internet plan. with this plan, i use internet connection sharing and tether to my laptop as a modem...when in a 3G area, i get very good through-put or internet speeds... when using wi-fi, all my internet explorer, email and other internet access is funneled through wifi. i'm also using GPS w/TomTom 6.03. from a cold start, i can get a satellite fix in 30-90 seconds, and once connected i have no problems. i'm very pleased with the GPS performance. overall i am very happy with my device; it is certainly a keeper until something cooler, faster and with more functionality comes along. that says a lot for me; until i got the Treo 750v and the Trinity, i'd have a new device every 60-90 days. i've had 750v for 7 months and the Trinity for 2 months.

Sounds good, did you have to setup the WAP and MMS settings for cingular manually?
Just install this cab and it will set your settings for Cingular automatically.

i did only because i have them memorized
Since i'm new to windows mobile i was wondering how to disable data roaming.
I just figured out that my HTC Touch Diamond was roaming and i already have a bill of 7euro's for just 1 day roaming..
I have a subscription to for unlimited internet access, so roaming is not necessary.
I already set my network to manual.
Also i wanna have only wifi enabled when there is wifi around, but still it connects to a other network too.
Someone who likes to kick me into the right direction?
Thanks.
Hey!
I was surfing on the net using my new tytn, after an hour it occured to me that, how do I know that the phone is using my wlan to connect and not the 3g line?? If it was using the 3g line I will get e hefty bill next month... IS there anyway to see that?
Very worried
If it was using 3G data then you'd see the little 3G symbol at the top of the today screen. Did you turn on Wi-Fi to use it? If so then it probably used it rather than the 3G data.
Hi Ive just got the unliminted internet 'bolt on' from O2 and Im not entirely sure how to use it. Under the comms manager i have turned 'data connection' on and ive been able to browse the internet using Opera. It seems really slow, is that all im meant to do in order to get it working? Also, what is 3G? and what does the 3G option in the comms manager do?
thanks.

turn on 3G and if you are in 3G reception area you will have faster data/ internet
thanks for the reply. So ive got the unlimited internet bolt on thing, using 3G isnt going to mean i'll be charged per minute or anything is it? is it just the same as the 'data connection' but faster then?

yes, thats correct, you wont be charged for using 3g on O2, im on thir bolt on plan and have been using 3g for months.
thanks very much ive tried it and it is faster! Just one other thing... does having 3G switched on affect other things like the signal? and phone calls? If 3G is better then why would I ever use the data connection?
3g simply uses battery much quicker compared to when 3g is turned off
