is internet through wap is free??on t mobile

hi all
i am newbie and just got wing few days ago,and i dont have any data plan,and i did setting in wap according to someone mention in this forum
like proxy setting and 216.155.165.50 etc
i am able to get internet now,
but question is, is it free???
or they charge me latter??
plz help>>> thanks

I would say you should be ok.

so does this mean i dont have to have the tzones $5.99 plan to get access to the internet using the proxies? so i can just type it the proxies port and host and have the internet working without the $5.99 plan?

Why pay if you are getting it for free?

for some reason, I cant browse sometimes. Any clue ?
btw, im using the above mentioned proxy for http,wap,swap

I did a search for WAP on this forum and could not make a find. Would you please let me know where you found this info as I would like to try it on my Wing. Thank you.

I did'nt know you could do that. I dont't think that T_mobiel should have the power to charge you for anything that you have not signed up for. Check in our contract and see if there is any mention of any such thing. And please let us know of where you read about these settings and if you are chraged on you ractual bill when you recieve it. Thanks.

Any way to spoof/change IMEI ?? Sidekick plan no longer works

Well it seems tmobile finally (as of 24hrs ago) blocked the sidekick plan from being used on different phones like the G1 and the iPhone.. on the iPhone forums theyre talking about something that can make it so the IMEI shows as another so I wanted to know if anything like that would be possible on my phone? I still have a sidekick and data works fine on it with my sim but that phone is a POS and more tightly closed than any other phone on this planet. But if I need its IMEI then i have it and please dont tell me to go and pay over 100% more for a G1 plan.. that will be absolute last resort.. BTW the phone still shows as its on a 3G network but everything times out that has to do with data. My Gfs iphone thats on the same plan does the same exact thing but her email works perfectly, I researched and it seems all iphones with the sidekick plan are able to access email but nothing else, i cant access anything.. I really dont want to give up my $15/month unlimited text and data plan

No one else using a sidekick plan? It seems whats actually going on is that tmobile block the hiptop.t-mobile.com apn from using the 8080 port (http), everything works fine for sidekicks because they run on theyre own servers and dont need this. Anyone know a way around this? My email (not gmail) works because it does not use that port to check it Im guessing.. can anyone help me figure a way around this :{

AFAIK, IMEI changing is illegal so I don't thinkl you'll get much help here.

It is in some places changing the IMEI is illegal, but there are guides on unlocking phones by switching the IMEI in the sections for other phones on XDA.

Well it seams that the IMEI change wont do anything so now what i need is a work around to the http port is there a way i can access anything http without using the 8080 port?

Remove the port from the APN?

LOL doesnt work it needs that port to browse the internet im guessing? i dont know but my hotmail email works fine im guessng because its another port and on iphones same thing along with some apps that use special ports but it seems that the 8080 port which is tmobiles http one is blocked?

Tmo just cut me off too. ... just when I was getting used to the low price. But I do think its just port restrictions on server side. I was thinking tunneling or a custom rom to bypass would be a possible solution. But hey deep down I knew that it would end sooner or later. It was almost too good to be true

People with iphone are getting through with just setting up a vpn although their connection is slow pob not to slow since they only had edge .. i was used to that 3g speed.. How would a custom rom be able to work around it?

OMG thank you!!!
I sound crazy but I just was searching the forums for this and made a post. My sidekick prepaid sim no longer works and I was left scratching my head. Any solutions?
Please please hit me up at [email protected] or post back...

ok i hope i didnt jynx it for the people who figured out this solution. for all yall who have non g1 data plans one way to get atleast internet browsing access would be to use Opera browser. its available in market and is installable if you have a rooted fone and have wifi access to dl it. google sync or other apps wont work but atleast you could surf the web. proving that a g1 rom mod to use socket connections for data via non-g1 plans would work. hopefully our developers could think of something. LETS GO COOKS LETS GO! this your chance to stick it to the man and corperate america!

I can confirm Opera mini works. How bout the VPN stuff?

I can confirm the VPN option works.
http://www.hotspotshield.com/clientless/iphone/
Thats the VPN i used. The only downside is you need cyanogens 3.9.7 rom and when your using browser some weird text is overlayd over the whole page looks the the page coding r something... But i only really use aim on edge so im good!
Edit:
Also Use Steel as your browser. It will get rid of the text. Make sure u use Iphone for the user agent!
Speeds are what you would expect out of edge.

Yea i had seen that one before... so i changed my plan to the shadows i tested it before on another sim and put the sim in my phone worked perfect.. off course when i cancelled my grandfathered sidekick plan and put the shadow on my sim... it no longer works at all ...keep telling me i need a subscription an the vpn wont work either

Thats unfortunate about the shadow plan. Guess what we need to do is appeal to devs to make a modded rom to help us.
An Hotspot shield looks like its just for the iphone. I have a g1 so how do I try the VPN stuff out?

If you flash cyanogens 3.9.7 rom it has vpn integration so you can set it up from there. I can confirm it works as i am using it now!

Yea I'm sorry but idk nothing about VPN's. I been had 3.9.7 so I'm in luck but can you point me to a tutorial as least?

(NOBODY POST THIS ON T-MOBILE FORUMS WE DONT WANT THIS FIX TO GET..."FIXED!")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(This is only a temp fix im not sure how long it will work!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Make sure u have the hiptop.t-mobile.com apn set and the edge icon is visable. You probally have to select the "only use 2g networks" option. Im not sure i dont have 3g in my area but i do have that option selected.)
1. Push menu on the phone
2. Then settings
3. Then wireless Controls
4. Then VPN settings
5. Push Add VPN
6. Select Add L2TP VPN
7. Enter the following info
VPN name: HotspotShield
Set VPN server: 64.55.144.10
8. Push Menu
9. Push Save
10. Then click on HotspotShield
Username: ipykhv
Password: ipykhv
11. Push Connect
It should say connected and you will get a ongoing notification with a time thats counting.
If you get that data should work fully.
The only problem is if you use the regular browser you will get weird codes overlaid over any webpage you load.
So you can download "steel" from the market and go to steels settings and for the user agent set it to iPhone, the codes should disappear!

I can confirm that the VPN method works. Just PLEASE dont post this on tmobile sites and similar. Lets keep this trick going!!!

do maps and all that work then with the vpn set like that? how bout apps like where or sherpa that use data?

Hi,
Boost my thanks meter if you find this information useful. In that way I would know how many people actually used this post to solve their problem.
Read below instructions for Airtel Mobile Office and Airtel MMS APN Settings:
1. Delete all APN
2. Create New APN with followint Settings
Name: Internet
APN: airtelgprs.com
Proxy:
Port:
Username:

MMSC: http://100.1.201.171:10021/mmsc
MMS Proxy: 100.001.201.172

I am using G1 and I am on Airtel Mumbai.
I have mobile office GPRS.
All I have done is entering APN as airtelgprs.com and all other values as blank and I have my GPRS.....

Couldn't this just have gone in the Big APN Thread?

Hey.... getting the MMS working was my challenge...
Internet just needs the airtelgprs.com APN.
I did not put this in the APN Big thread as there are many users searching for Airtel APN in India and if this becomes a part of a big thread then google would not be able to index it.

I had a though time finding the setting for Airtel India specially for MMS, so thought of creating a separate thread.

Hey your welcome...I had a tough time searching so thought of putting it up so others can get it easily.
Wanted to add one point to my post:
If you have added the APN for Airtelgprs.com and then after exiting the settings add the MMS it sometime wont work on G1. Delete all APN`s and then add both one after other.

Thanks a lot...These settings are useful for iPhone as well.

Hello all,
I've just returned from 3 weeks in India and I used my AirTel SIM card (Rajasthan-sourced) in Jaipur, Agra, Delhi, Cochin, Bangluru, Goa, Mumbai and on many trains.
It worked very well and had excellent coverage. Pretty cheap, too!
Had a devil of a time getting it all started though. Luckily I had a WM6.5 phone that allowed me to use SMS help since the 121 HelpLine was more than USELESS! (English tree prompts kept hanging up on me). Turned out the shop I bought the sim card from neglected to turn on GPRS...
WM6.5 and SMS menus and I had it going in a few minutes.
GPRS activation was the key...
All I put in for the APN was airtelgprs.com and just named it India!
Good luck all.

1)If you have email working now, then it will work whenever you have a data connection.
2)I'm guessing you're going to have to pay for data
3) What does GPS have to do with with EDGE? The google maps application will be able to download the map tiles on whatever connection you have, be it GPRS, EDGE or 3G.

ok thanks a lot..
eagerly waiting for my g1
3g has been just introduced here and data plans are sick vvv costly as of now..
3g n/w has not been alotted to private firms as yet..

GPS (Global Positioning System) works in India and is free.
GPRS needs to be activated and Airtel has Edge i dont have idea about Vodafone.
Gmail will be setup automatically and so will gtalk.
For MSN and Yahoo you need to download a 3rd Party app.
To configure any pop3 email it has easy steps to configure.
PM me if u need ne help

Oh thanks a lot will need your help later...
God when i am going to receive my G1..still 10 days to go..aww..
One last thing can u tell me whn and how the G1 will get bricked..
Is there any possibility to revert it back without any h/w changes?
coz if i brick it here then it wd remain dead & i wont be able to ship back to usa..

Dont play with the Customs Roms without reading the steps.
Follow the steps do ur homework before u start playing the the ROMS

THANKS Mate! You posted these steps back in 2009. These are still helpful now in 2011 when many are using Android devices. Specially the MMS part.
I don't know how you figured out that but my respect for finding out.
On first attempt I simply edited the details and did not delete the APNs. But I had to completely follow the steps by deleting all APNs and so on. Finally it worked.
Also, your decision to create separate thread was right. I came thru Google lookin for "Airtel MMS Settings on Android".
Cheers

proxy cap worked before on my former touch hd but not on the HD2.
thanx guys.

thanx guys i found it.. its as they said before in the connection settings.. the internet explorer worked fine but the youtube program didnt.. any one knows how to make it use the proxy settings ?

install the connection wizard and you are good to go.
and by the way, yes the Questions in the Q&A section.

what the hell is connection wizard and where can i find it? Same issue here.

you look like you need the APN (access point name). To get it you have to call your provider.
for example my APN is "internet" or "vodafoninternet"
after geting it on phone go to "settings" > "cellular" > "edit apn"
good luck

im having the same problem and when i called tmobile about it they said it cant be the apn because i dont have an iphone. please someone help!!

If you dont know how to install use THIS guide.
when your done read THIS post for your correct apn.
if you have any more questions read & search THIS before posting.

i just typed in internet for apn and it worked so try that and you know if it works when you see 3g beside your signal bars. hopes this helps
