Is there a way to use Web2go on Samsung Vibrant?

Any expert can help me to use T-mobile Web2go on Samsung Vibrant? I tried internet2.voicestream.com, not working

you should be able to access it normally, but it only works on 3g not wifi.

no, it asks me to upgrade to $30 data plan. It was working only for the first few hours when I used internet2.voicestream.com. I searched forum and know some people out there have the same problem too. I wish some expert could find out a solution for this.

as far as I know, you can't use the web to go, since the servers will detect the device and block it, but I am no expert, it's what I was told

All android phones bought from tmo have been imei blacklisted I believe so yeah, it won't work. Also, do please try searching before posting a new thread next time because there's already a thread identical to this one.

Web2go works perfect for me on my vibrant with a 24.99 month plan on tmo
Or am I missing something?

Web2Go is the $10 plan for non-smartphones

he's talking about the web2go plan($10)
not the web2go homepage....
wow, just wow
and no, the Web2Go plan will not work on the samsung Vibrant.
it worked on my HD2, and iPhone, but not on Android phones from T-mo like the G1, vibrant, mt3g, etc..

Oh right. That plan wont work. Sorry, misunderstood.

Ha I knew I wasn't catching on to something... I went from sidekicks to blackberrys...and now android
Never knew there was even a plan called "web2go"

I know web2go is not working. Is it a way to make it work?

You all seem confused. Web2go is the homepage. Phone-First Web is the $10 plan, and it will not work...

Verizon tab and txt msgs.

Nice that verizon has txt msgs on the tab, but not nice they don't tell you they charge 25¢ per! The rep didn't even know they charged extra for it! That is just down right wrong not to tell the customer!

Yes, I've paid for a couple of spams too, I looked for a way to turn messageing off, but haven't been able to get it below 10 messages per conversation.

I called customer service and asked them to block my sms number and I just use google voice. Works great and it's free.

I had the same problem with tmobile. I am supposed to get unlimited text and 5gig data, but they were charging me 25 cents per text.
When i called the acted like they didnt know anything and took two months to fix.

I was told that Verizon to Verizon is free and the for $5.00 a month I can ad 250 texts. Is this true?

Verizon to Verizon is only free with the non-$5 text packages.

I just installed "Sync SMS" and its pretty cool. It sends texts from your phone to your tablet via Dropbox. You can send from tablet through your phone number as well. Cost 3 bucks, but certainly good enough for me at the moment.

What is worse is you cannot call and have it disabled. You have to pay $5 a month for some family addon that lets you limit your kids text messages or something

If you have prepaid and don't keep a balance it will be effectively disabled. I haven't tried when i have money in the account but it told me "Not enough in your prepaid account" when i tried once.

Just call customer care, and ask for the retentions department. Tell them you are pissed that you have no way of monitoring if you are going to go over your minutes. I got the family addon added free for life.

I may retire the Supersonic today...

For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.

You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!

The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Good advice, I appreciate it. I ended up just flashing the EVO, but immediately afterwards I changed my number on their website and dialed *228 and let my phone reboot, now 3g internet doesn't work at all. Talk and text are fine.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.

I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

This is helpful, when I try it I'll get back to you. I'm at the library now to use internet but can't install such programs here due to policies, ect. I'll try again either tomorrow over the weekend.

And no, I paid forty bucks to cricket to flash. And when I tried to go to a closer one to reflash they said I had to pay 20 bucks or go to the store I initially flashed at. How lame is that?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Sure you can hit me up here or my email which would be a little quicker to get any extra help you need. I have flashed two evo's and a 3vo myself and helped out on many more. Plus my last girlfriend liked to change her number every few months so fixing that will be a snap.
Email address coming via pm in a few moments.

If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.

I actually was just on Ting, haha, they're good service but too expensive, I like unlimited data.
Yeah so reflashing with cricket to regain 3g and mms is a no go right now, cricket wants to charge me and I can't do that right now. I'll be sure to shoot you an email in my attempts to get my phone working again.

I've been using DK reincarnation. I messed up msl programming and got it reflashed at a repair place, 3g works but gets an error message every half hour or so and mms is a no go. I'm gonna do it myself when I get the time.

Just switched from Sprint to Verizon - Voicemail question

My friend just switched from Sprint to Verizon. On Sprint we have our own voicemail app and the voicemails download right to the phone at no extra cost. Do you really have to pay $4 a month on Verizon for this capability or is there a way to activate on device voicemail without paying the extra fee?
Thanks for any advice you can offer,
Jack

You have to pay $4/month for VISUAL voicemail, yes But like others states, use google voice if you're not comfortable with that. Exact same features, cross compatibility. Just make sure to follow the call-forwarding instructions for google voice..... I don't know how many people can't figure out how to get it to work because they think installing the app and following the instructions makes it work...

I agree with using google voice. The translations are quite comical. They are no way perfect but you get the idea of what was said. You can listen from any computer and if you add the extension on chrome you get notifications on the browser.
In regards to prev. post, ignore the warning about the carrier in the setup dialog. It just means that you have to dial the *7... that google gives you when you setup the voicemail account.
One warning you do have to have data/internet connection to get voicemail since it retrieves it over voip and not 1g voice/calling. Which isn't a big deal unless you are deep in the woods or roaming on unfriendly territory like Thumb Cellular in Michigan.
