GPRS settings for T-Mobile NL??

I downloaded the T-Mobile (NL) application for PPC2002 ("T-Mobile GPRS Connect") which should take care of the GPRS connections, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about not able to open the modem connection (I'm using the Cellular Line modem): "Can not find the name of the serial port".
Anybody any ideas?
It is a nice utility which displays the speed, send/received bytes and connection time, but useless sofar...

hey marco,
i bought a t-mobile pocket pc in the US and unlocked it. With my vodafone sim i now can do everythinh with the device. So I know how to make a GPRS connection to Vodafone, but don't know the settings for t-mobile.
A few days ago I also tried to install t-mobile app. but it sucks. I suggest you try to find out the correct settings with t-mobile nl to make a descent GPRS setting and not use the t-mobile application

Help - Dopod 838 pro won't connect to T-Mobile

So I brought my unlocked Dopod 838 pro over from asia and am trying to use it with my T-Mobile sim here in California. However, I get this error notification:
Your current operator (31026) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor. Would you like to select another network?
It would then connect to Cingular as roaming which works fine for calls and messages. However, I cannot connect to my T-mobile internet plan while on the Cingular network.
I've been playing around with it for days and tried unsuccessfully to have it manually connect to T-Mobile. Do you think I need a ROM update or some kind of software update? If anyone has seen this issue and can provide some information it would be of great help. Thanks.

I got this exact same message on my Softbank X01 - however i ignored it, and my phone registered with T-Mobile without any problem. It seems to be connected to the new Network Wizard tool, under Settings - which only lists asia-pac countries for service.
However, if you go up to the Phone Service bar at the top, and enter the Settings section, the Network Tab seems to let you manually scan and select networks. It takes several minutes for the scan to complete, but when it does it gave me a choice of networks.
as always, ymmv,

Travel and GPRS settings

Hi guys,
as I travel a lot and I got used to e-mailing on my tytn, I'd like to be able to connect to my exchange server even when I'm roaming, or when I insert another country's SIM. Is there a program that can store the different GPRS settings and use them as necessary?
Thanks!

BlackBerry change to Hermes - AT&T

We stayed China and Hong Kong mostly and 2 of my friends came from Chicago who were using the BlackBerry from Cig/ATT. they both buy a Hermes in Hong Kong and had different situation -
The first one just inserted the SIM card and after the network wizard run, everything going ok. (Scap 4.31 rom)
The other one inserted the SIM and after running the network wizard, once connecting to the network no matter Media or My ISP, it will cut off the connection and asked for setting (modem disconnect....)
I had tried this phone with my China SIM and working ok, I had tried to change the rom from Scap 4.31 to AT&T official, the same, tried the network setting with proxy/no proxy - same, tried theGPRS setting between PAP/CHAP - same (as i found the official AT&T rom with CHAP setting at default)
the phone with call functional ok, only cannot access internet, is anything lock the sim with the BlackBerry and cannot use other handset? I found some information from the bb manual saying that "register you handheld manually" so is this related?
thanks

O2 internet connection

Quick question - as ever i've searched but not found anything in the Blackstone forum, so pre-emptive apologies if it's right under my nose..
On the HTC Touch HD Handset - Connections ; Network Management, it gives the option to choose between "mobile web" and "O2 active."
can someone please tell me which is superior / faster (if either) and what further configuration settings i may need to change to get the best signal & performance? Im on a pre-pay contract with the monthly Bolt On of "Unlimited" Internet form O2.
many thanks

I use mobile web and the speed seems ok. I can't remember if I ever bothered with the O2 Active.
Anyway you can try either using the websites you will most likely be accessing. I'd say you should clear the browser cache before each website test. An Edge connection is best from my research but I am not really bothered for what I use the mobile for.
At the end of the day if you need supreme speed you have to use the desktop. Hope that helps.

You use the mobile web connection for Internet access. The O2 Active setting is WAP and used for MMS.
Remember if you are on PAYG, you need to use the PAYG settings, not pay-monthly. Change the APN from mobile.o2.co.uk to payandgo.o2.co.uk, ussername=payandgo, password=password

I am with o2 pre pay contract.
Just some info if your using an old sim card that you`ve had for a couple of phones (upgrades), i found out my sim card wasn`t a 3G sim card. In my blackstone all i got was the edge network, After contacting o2 they sent me a new sim card and i now pick up the HSPDA network,which is indicated by H.
You can tell by looking at the serial code on the sim . It should say 3G at the end of the serial.

Does anyone know how to configure their o2 connection so that GPRS is enabled but not 3G. I am having trouble as when I try the settings always shows as 3G?
