Can I transfer a SIM from an account activated for a Blackberry Enterprise data plan to a Galaxy Tab? I don't always need data on the device, so I'd like to use my existing data plan as needed. The T-Mobile folks didn't know what I was asking for and wanted to sell me extra services at full price.
No need to transfer accounts or anything. Just put your BB sim in and configure an APN for isp.cingular. That's what I use in my tab.
EDIT: Didn't see that you are on Tmo. Not sure what APN settings are needed.

I am having trouble trying to use web2go/tzones on my wing. I got 9.99 web2go plan and when i try to visit any site using internet explorer i always get a message that I don't have the right type of internet plan and I need to upgrade it in order to use internet on my wing. I have used both wap.voicestream.com and epc.tmobile.com with and without proxy 216.155.165.50:8080 it seems like tmobile systems are recognizing my phone type and not letting me use web2go on my wing. I cannot even update weather on my phone. Is there any additional settings I can use or anything else I can do to get web2go working. I only need data plan for very light browsing so I don't want to sign up for expensive plans.
Thanks
If you have web2go, you can NOT use epc, you have to use wap.
On my Wing, under Connections:
Name it something
Modem type is Cellular Line GPRS
Access point name is wap...
User, pass, domain is all blank
Remove any type of proxy settings.
It may just be easier to delete everything you have now and just add that.
Hope that helps.
T-Mobile Data Hack & epc.tmobile.com
I continue to use T-Mobile Web at $5.99 a month and I just installed Ivan's Windows Mobile 6.5 Alpha 11 and added the new APN - epc.tmobile.com and it works just fine. In fact, when I installed his ROM the first time I had no problems accessing GPRS, but the next time I installed it, I couldn't access the internet. Under Connections 6.5 had "wap.voicestream.com" , "[email protected]" and "[email protected]". It was there I added the new APN and ran IE6 Mobile. All that said, if there is a difference other than the price between T-Mobile Web and web2go, I don't know. Before all the changes were made to data plans, I assumed T-Mobile Web was unlimited and I use the hell out of it when I was at work listening to then XM radio and SkyFM. I do know over on MyT-Mobile as on the Wing you can monitor the amount of data used, whether they're enforcing a FAP on the new data plans, I simply don't know. I've never had any problems with my plan and have noted the new APN is faster than the old voicestream wap. Take care!
have sed all ways of web2go apn connections internet2 epc etc. As of today when I try to visit a website, it redirect me to wipcore.t-mobile.com or something like that and it says that I must subscribe to the webConnect but why would I want to pay more and do that? Any help/ideas what I can do?
OK guys,i paid for plan TMOBILE WEB $9.99
with this plan i set up the APN is epc.tmobile.com for any fone like IPHONE,ORIGINAL HERO it work like a charm,but how come with MY TOUCH and use with HERO rom i cant do that,its always show me the screen upgrade to 24.99 plan
if you dont believe what img oign to say, load up the mytouch wtih the factory rom and see what happens.
t-mobile has a list of imei's for the mytouches and forces them onto the 24.99 plan.
Strange.
Verify your APNs and perhaps upgrade your plan.
You could even "claim" to T-Mobile that you have certain features without plan information access and they might provide you with the "internet" setting necessary to launch a "WAP" browser.

My grandfathered $7.99 t-zones worked with my mytouch for the first day and it gave me that message. Was going to activate it anyway, but just forgot. My friend told me that his iphone no longer works with EPC access point in hawaii
I have HTC pure which i'm using on T-mobile (US) connection. Now I have the data plan Unlimited Web which cost $9.99 monthly. I was wondering if I could use that for surfing the net on phone. Can anybody tell me the settings?
yes u can i stll have my 5.99 plan lol use internet2.voicestream.com in settings if not then try wap.voicestream.com
but what about proxy...do I need to use any proxy server?
no you dont. theres a way to get that even cheaper $6.99 tzone plan which uses proxy. theres a code that you tell to the billing department of customer service and they can add it in for you. the down side is that you cant get pop or imap mail with the $6.99. the $9.99 plan is similar but it doesnt use a proxy. if i were you, i would get the "tmobile shadow unlimited" plan, at least its somewhat a smartphone plan so if you get called about anything, you can argue that you have the right plan. they will call you up if you suddenly switch to a more superior phone like nexus or touch pro and push you to upgrade. i just use the excuse "im just borrowing and testing this phone from a friend" and they usually buy it and never bother me again.
nope you dont have to do any of that...just use the regular setup and then go into setup...connections...connections...advanced...select networks...and under tmobile data... change epc.tmobile.com to internet2.voicestream.com and reset and u are all done
^^Seems t-mobile needs one whole month to activate a service
they said it wud be done from start of next billing cycle which is like 20days from now

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.

Hi Sam, just found you on here ad wanted to say thank you so much for the Nand Android flash, its like having a new phone, I owe you a few pints. Ian, Stev's ffriend.
Total wireless is a Verizon mvno and I have no problems with other phones. It gives me the Verizon wireless apn but it only gets voice...no data. When I try to make a new APN it just has one place to fill which is the APN field. Everything else is grayed out and will not let me create a new one. Any suggestions?

Similar issues for me. I'm attempting to activate RedPocket mobile with their CDMA (Verizon) simcard and all I get are the default verizon settings. I go to add their APN and I can only fill in one field (APN) and when I save, it tells me I can't save without filling in the 'name' field which I can't edit. Anyway, my issue is slightly different where I can only access data with the default APN. I think I"m just going to use it like that with hangouts calling and make due for now until things get ironed out with the Verizon service.
