I have a verizon xv6900 (HTC vogue?) and I want to use my voice plan (*not* a data plan) to connect to the internet. There are free dial-up access numbers, and I don't care how slow it is. Is this possible?
I changed the #777 connection setting to a free dial-up account, and Verizon still charged me for "data access".
Thanks,
Bryan.

What are you guys using to connect to the internet? I can do everything I want with T-zones unlimited, using the proxy... however, if I use the proxy, I can't connect to wi-fi because it wants to try to connect thru the proxy. What services are you using and what are your settings?
Thanks,
Danny
i will use
I wont get my MDA till monday according to UPS, but when i get it i plan on getting the Total Internet plan for 29.99. it includes GPRS, EDGE and Hot Spots. That is the plan the tmobile is advertizing with this phone.
I have the T-Mobile total internet package. I am not using the proxy server, and it connects to Hotspot just great.
However, I have not tried to access T-Zones. Well, I tried once, and got a network solutions 'page coming soon' thing. I doubt I have it correct. lol
hot spot
how does the hot spot autentication work?
im assuming they made it so i wouldnt be able to just put in my username and password on my laptop and log it into a hotspot.
I have unlimited internet 19$ plan.
I don't use any proxy server.
I don't think you can use the regular t-zone on this phone ($9 plan).
Otherwise all good, just use: internet2.voicestream.com in the gprs setup and the rest emty.
my 5.99 tmobileweb with proxy works very well with any website using internet explorer mobile. it doesn't work, however, with outlook or any other mail client or application that doesn't know how to use proxy. i'm glad that virtual earth 1.5 works well even with my tmobileweb plan.
as for the problem that the original poster described, in the connection settings, i created a connection especially for wifi. and to switch between wifi and tmobileweb, i go to 'select networks' and choose which ever connection i want in the two drop-down lists that i have.
Proxy Setup
msafi,
What are the settings for setting up the proxy? I used the proxy with my Nokia 6600 just fine, but, cannot get it to work on the MDA Wizard.
Thanks, SK
I am using a Wizard with WM6 and internet sharing wizard to connect to the internet. It works alright. Sometimes though, it will take forever to access the any sort of internet resources. I'm wondering what the cause of this is. Is it just GPRS lag? I also have a Mobile Broadband card in my laptop, rather then just activate my cingular card I'd rather just pop my T-Mobile SIM in there and get the service. I know that I don't need to unlock this card because when I stick it in the slot and restart my computer, the utility I use to connect the card to the internet picks it up as if it was a T-Mo SIM and the T-Mo GPRS/EDGE networks. Although when I connect to it, it says I'm connected, but I can't access any web pages. The utility also says I'm sending data but not receiving any. Any ideas? The card is a Dell Wireless 5520 Cingular Mobile Broadband Card. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
try changing your server settings?
Maybe try changing the server from internet2.voicestream.com to internet3.voicestream.com or vice-versa.
Also, you may need to have the t-mobile internet plan for you to get full web page access. This is currently $30 per month I think. Maybe you already have this?
Good luck
methinks the problem lies in that you have a tmo sim but a cingular mobile broadband card.
Tired more things.
As far as trying APN's I have tried internet2.voicestream.com; internet3.voicestream.com; wap.voicestream.com
We have a full data plan that allows full access to the internet which is used to access our exchange server for emails and contacts. I have used the internet sharing wizard to play world of warcraft from my phone. I'm hoping that means that I have a full access plan. internet3.voicestream.com doesn't work on my phone for a network plan but the others do. I have also tired to use my T-Mo SIM in my wireless broadband card as a modem connection, I've found that if I connect using the call numbers that people are using for their phones modem tethering and no login credentials like you're supposed to do to initiate modem tethering. I don't get any response from the remote computer. But then I start to use some of the modem strings I get as far a Registering on the Network before my modem connection terminates! Thats the last step! do you think I could dial it as a modem connection if I had the correct int string?

I read somewhere that somewhere someone was able to do this but they didn't really go all in depth about it. They said to leave the login credentials empty and use the t-mobile apn. Just like you do when configuring the networks on your T-Mo phone. I also and another question. Is there a difference between using wap.voicestream.com vs. internet(2 or 3).voicestream.com? I read somewhere that there is a proxy on wap.voicestream.com, but when I looked for the forum I read that on I wasn't able to find it.
t-mobile internet (2or3).voicestream.com
I recently got the hotspots service (added for free) and in that process they told me that I had to change my apn to internet2.voicestream.com. It was internet3.voicestream.com.
Incidentally, you can add the hotspots at not extra charge if your already on the $29.99 internet plan. you just have to ask them to switch you to the mobile internet with the hotspots.
I have a T-mobile Wing, unlimited GPRS internet and also comes with Hotspot.... but can i use that service in my laptop... I can use the GPRS access in my laptop but i dunno how to do with the HOTSPOT.
i would like to know if its possible as well

yes as long as you have activesync you will have the internet sharing setup automatically if you have problems ill help out no problem
Goto -> http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/
Setup your account it is included in your $19.99 package. Most likely you will need to call 611 and they will give you your password that you can change. The User Name is always your 10 digit phone number. After all is configured via that page all you need to do on any wifi enabled device is set you ssid to "tmobile". When you detect a Hotspot network just open up the web broswer on that device and sign in with your 10 digit username and password. That is it.
I think you are slightly confused (main poster). It sounds like you already have the unlimited plan which includes hotspot. So given that, it also says that you know how to share your gprs/edge connection by tethering it with your laptop. So the only point left for confusion is what a hotspot is. Hotspot has nothing to do with gprs/edge. It's a wifi signal at participating locations like kinkos, starbucks, ect... that you simply log in to with your wifi enabled laptop and the 1st screen it will direct you to is the tmobile hotspot webpage. Just enter your tmobile phone number and password that you use to login to the tmobile website that you already use (or should) to just pay your bill online. And then you're in the hotspot... download blissfully and much faster than edge.
Hi, I got a Titan and when opening the IE, it establishes a connection through dialling #777.
The "data Connection" is activated at this point.
I do not want to use my phone as an external modem, just want to browse.
My carrier is bell canada/mobility and I know they got 2 plans: Data plans (and not sure but I think it's for phone as modem) and browsing plan at 7$ unlimited.
I managed to activate the unlimited browsing option but the #777 is dialling and therefore, it's in data plan mode.
So is there a way to browse without dialling #777?
Thank you

That's how the phone connects to the network, it's not using it as an external modem AFAIK. My phone does that also.

Background:
I have a Verizon wireless vx6800 with no data plan. I was unable to find any information on google so i thought i'd come here.
Question:
If i am connected to the wireless network at my company, can i connect to our vpn server without being billed for data usage from Verizon?
I did connect to our vpn network, and the phone had the data connect symbol above the antenna symbol. The phone did not dial the #777 that verizon uses for their data plans, but i just want to make sure before I connect and get a surprise bill..
Any help or comments will be very useful..
If you're connecting to Microsoft Exchange, then you are using data.
I think you misunderstood the question. I'm talking about a vpn connection to a specific pc on our network. Not our exchange server.
You can connect to an exchange server via wireless network. btw
