Okay, so I have posted this in the kaiser forum with no solution to my problem and am hoping maybe some people here could help me with this problem...
I am with Att in the US and have unlimited texting (includes sms, mms, instant messaging)
here is the problem: I do not have a data plan and would love a way of enabling my data only on MMS and instant messaging. I know they require data but it will not charge me.
any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!
Y'know, I was thinking exactly the same this morning!!
I'm a developer myself and may consider trying to do a program, similar to a PPC firewall that only allows certain apps to use data usage.
I'm sure there's more than just us two that one benefit from this.
yes before taking a data option i've searched for such a tool but without success
f someone can find / make one it would be cool
What do you mean, instant messaging will not charge you? What program do you use? Maybe it just sends SMS?
For MMS, you can delete Internet access point and only leave MMS access point.
I have just cancelled my Unlimited family messaging plan... Because they "DO" charge for MMS. The plan only covers the $0.25 charge per MMS but you are still charged per KB.

whaaat? no way? im with att wireless and it clearly states on their website that it includes picture/video messaging as well......hmm thats shady on their part.
and as mentioned earlier, yes, this only includes instant messaging via SMS and NOT data IMs.
A data connectoin is required to initially connect to the instant messaging client.

Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.
the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.
Modaco NoData
Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?
Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.
I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks
This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+
Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...
here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle
Hi Folks. I have a problem with my PDA. I use HTC P4531 (Unlocked). I use it on T-Mobile network. Since the PDA is unlocked, I had to manually set up GPRS connection, so that I can send/receive MMS. + I have Mobile Net on my PDA. A T-Mobile version of this phone is T-Mobile Wing. I used to have one before I bought this unlocked device (got an offer on it that I couldn't pass up). The WING has this "OZ Messenger" on it. People who use or used a T-Mo Wing should know what this app is. Anyway, I found a *.cab file of this app, installed it, and it doesn't work for me. Before trying to log on to any networks, I went in to "Connections" and manually turned this connection on. But when I was trying to log on to AIM service, I got a text message saying:
WV11RL1 ST=(200,"Successful") SI=1.1Ax18be29624131ada3809e265da1811866 CI=wv:OZ4121#[email protected] KA=60000
From: 4670
How can I use this application? Again - I have mobile net and I set the connection up for GPRS.
P.S. If you know how to get a certain app to work similar to this one, for a fact, please let me know. Thank You
why dont you just use something other than that like Palringo
T-Mobile OZ Communicator
if you want to try something else i suggest Pigeon.
It doesn´t need much RAM and works stable.

Hi people. I don't think you guys get this.
I DO NOT HAVE/USE T-MOBILE WING!! I HAVE/USE an unlocked HTC P4351 (Physically the same thing as T-Mo Wing). Not The Same SOFTWARE as T-Mo Wing though!! I can't just connect to anything without setting up a connection first!!

Huh????????
Palringo (the one that you quoted) uses a Data Plan. So, you could use that on your phone, IF you have a respectable data plan through your carrier.
And then the T-Mobile OZ Communicator, that might work on your phone. It's worth a try. OZ Communicator works without a data plan, and through SMS.

The thing is, OZ is installed, but when I run it and try to log on to AIM network (or any other), it DOESN'T turn on my GPRS connection. I strongly believe I need to set it up!! My MMS wasn't set up neither, I found instructions on the net and manually added the connection for it to use. I think this needs the same!!

I told you!!!!!! OZ Communicator DOESN'T USE DATA PLAN!!!!!
It uses your SMS plan. Txting. That's the whole point of it, people can use AIM without paying for data!
So, did it work then?? Did it log in?

N O!! Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! When it is installed on a T-Mo Wing, when you try to log on to AIM (to take this network as an example) on the T-Mo Wing - it turns on some "GPRS" connection, and signs on.
For me - I don't have that GPRS connection set up for anything else other then for MMS (I configured this connetion MYSELF), so when I try to log on to any of the networks - it doesn't turn anything on.
Take MMS, when you try to send a MMS message, it also turns some "GPRS" connection on - I don't believe it’s the same connection. I don't have "GPRS" connection set up for this kind of stuff!! I need to set up an addition one, and to turn on automatically as soon as I try to log on using this OZ Communicator.
I don't think it’s the same connection as for MMS, I turned it manually on, and tried to log in with this OZ Communicator, and it didn't do anything. Another possibility is - I don't have the right OZ Messenger (not intended for HTC). Some other *.cab file I found here.

It doesn't use MMS, I'm 99% sure. It uses your SMS connection. So yea, idk.

U don't have to set it up. I never did (I'm running a custom ROM, btw).
Idk. I have no clue on how to further fix it. Sorry.

That should be the right cab. U should just have to follow the program's instructions. Just run it, and use it. That's all I did.

Well then I guess it doesn't work on...
Wait, are you even using the T-Mobile network?? I bet it won't work unless it's T-Mobile network.
And if you're on T-Mobile, then I guess it only works with the Wings. Sorry.
Hi guys
So I have been looking over the forums quite abit but have not found a solution
Currently I am using Nodata.cab which works fine if I disable my connection and only use wireless its fine and dandy... However I have the following problems
Work provide me with 100mb of 3G data
Aswell as that my provider in australia I get free
Roaming/3G Email
Romaing/3G Facebook
everything else on roaming costs money, I live in a non 3g area and my work is also located in a non 3G area.
What i need is something like the nodata app that allows me to make an acception for an application. Mainly I want email to work for work reasons, i couldnt care less for facebook. As I need to set email to download every 30 minutes.
Since my old work phone (Samsung Innov8) allowed me to choose the access point for applications on launch I didnt mind setting my main APN as my 3G/Roaming APN before my wireless for email.
I currently have a HTC Diamond
Hello, i'm new to the forums. This is my first post but i've been reserching all over and cannot find a solution to this question I have...
I've been considering buying a HTC HD2 from my friend and unlocking it to use with my AT&T sim card (the phone is currently locked to T-Mobile).
After I unlock it I am planning on installing Android 2.2 onto the HTC. My current phone is a Samsung Solstice from AT&T. I have unlimited SMS/MMS but I don't have a data plan. I was wondering once i get the HD2, unlock it, then install Android 2.2 on it, if I can disable data but I've heard if u disable data then Multimedia Messaging (MMS) doesn't work... (I cant afford a data plan and wont need to browse the web away from wifi so i'm fine without data plan.) I would REALLY like to keep MMS working fine but without using data. is there anyway i can enable MMS and not data? I would call AT&T and asked them to block all data access except MMS but i'm afraid if i tell them that i'm using a HD2 (smart phone) they'll force me to pay for data and that would not be good. can someone please help me disable/block data but continue using MMS, all help/advice is appreciated, thanks in advanced
plzzzz i would really like to know this
BUMP
As my understanding, data is use when sending and receiving mms, but you are not charged for the data because you have sms/mms plan, maybe there is limit how many kb per message, if you over that they may charge you the extra.
I'm not sure about ATT, but Tmobile if I accidently go to internet, they tell me that I don't have data plan, and ask if I want the data or something...., I just click cancel, I never been charged for the data.
I am using the HD2 on ATT, I can tell you for a fact there is no way to block data and allow MMS, MMS uses data to send picture and video msgs. Calling ATT will not help either. As long as you have not upgraded your phone thru them they cannot force you to get a data plan, if they attempt to, you can tell them you want to be put on a pay per use, if they say no, demand a supervisor explain you have a wifi and you dont want the plan, a little pushing will get you want you want.
Also ATT cannot block data and not MMS from their end either, just not possible.
Go into apn settings. If you have only one for data and mms, then edit it, and right at the end "apn type" probably says "default " or perhaps "*" or maybe "default,supl,mms "
Change that to say just "mms"
If you have two entries one will be for default,supl and will have a on off toggle, the second will be for mms and won't have a toggle. Just toggle off the data one or edit out the default in apn type.
