t-mobile data service help
 

Can anyone with t-mobile service help me.

I use to have t-zone free (1meg) but I was able to configure my laptop to use free internet with my nokia 6600 and bluetooth. I changed my plan recently to family plan and I think I lost the t-zone option because I can't get my nokia 770 internet connection.

I configure nokia to dial *99#
access point: wap.voicestream.com also tried internet2.voicestream.com, and internet3.voicestream.com eveything else default.

I'm able to connect to wap.voicestream.com but no internet...I guess it's for wap only.

What's the minimum I have to have to use the 770 with t-mobile. Do I have to sign up for a data plan?

Can someone with t-mobile give me their configuration...and what data plan you have.

You will have to have the data plan. Tmobile tighten up on what accounts access what servers. You have to have the Unlimited Data Plan to access internet2 or internet3

Once you have these, just set your phone to internet2 setting and pair it up.

I have tmobile with the data plan and it works great for me.

cis4life, can you do a tutorial on how you set up your T-mobile phone and 770 to access the internet via T-mobile's unlimited data plan? I'm sure many people, besides myself :), would find it useful.

I considered the data plan since my T-mo plan doesn't run out until August - but why would I pay so much money to surf along at GPRS speeds?
The T-Mobile internet plan, as per http://www.t-mobile.com/plans/default.asp?tab=internet

$49.99/mo, NO included minutes, $0.20 per minute outgoing and incoming, 300 text messages/mo (that's for both incoming and outgoing)

In my experience with my iPaq h6315 phone and T-Mobile's Internet plan, GPRS data with T-Mobile came across at about 58 kbits per second. The InternetTabletTalk main page is about 50 kbytes in source and another 480 kbytes in images, scripts, etc.

So with load time + rendering time... Expect it to take about a minute and 15 seconds to load the internettablettalk main page over a T-Mobile GPRS connection.

/me waits for edge...

Hi,

I use T-mobile also and I use to able to get on internet thru GPRS via bluetooth on my PDA using my unlimited T-zone plan($4.99). I just changed my family plan and switch to the $5.99 T-mobileWeb add-on and now neither my PDA nor my 770 is able to connect.

I remember they used to have a $19.99 internet plan that we can sign up online. Now that option is gone. $49.99 seems a high price to pay. I wonder if anyone knows if the $19.99 plan still avaliable and can we get GPRS with that plan.

*NokNok770*, if you have the $5 unlimited t-zones (like me), you have to set the number to *99# and set the AP to wap.voicestream.com (you already know that) - POP3 and SMTP access will work at this point, but HTTP and SSL access will require you to use a proxy server... Fortunately T-Mobile provides a proxy server! The address is 216.155.165.50 & the port is 8080 - good luck!

tnkgrl,

so where do I put in the proxy server IP address and the port #?

Eric, tap the advanced button on the last screen of the GPRS configuration.

Awesome.. it's working. Thanks.... :)

Esuen and TnkGrl: What are the speed and rendering times like lately? It may be worthwhile for me to add it to my plan if it's only $6/mo. I haven't used the GPRS connection in ... about 8 months
