Unfortunately I don't have the t-zone option anymore since my plan changed so probably why it didn't work..even after the proxy settings. They don't do the $5 unlimited t-zone anymore, but they do have the 5.99 t-mobileWEB. Is that the same thing as the t-zone plan? I don't want to get it and it not work. I knew I should have kept my other plan...it was practically free.

thoughtfix...you don't have to pay the $20 dollar plan to get internet through tmobile gprs....even though you were told that by t-mobile customer service...they are dumb. It use to be you can get gprs data connection for the cost of t-zone plan...5 dollars and I got the free t-zone once. Now it looks like it's going to cost 5.99 for tmobileWeb...but still better than the people are dumb enough to pay t-mobile 20 for tmobile internet plan. The speed of gprs data connection is about 56kbps

My primary phone (Sony Ericsson W800i) is GPRS, not EDGE, and I rarely get more than 40-50 kbps... My secondary phone (Motorola E815) is EVDO, and I typically get 300-400 kbps (without requiring a proxy)! I'm in San Francisco.

*NokNok770*, I don't know if the unlimited t-zones is the same as the t-mobileWEB. Take a look at the HowardForums - the answer may be there.

i am thinking the speed is close to 56K. Google home page pop right up and i tried orbitz.com and the homepage takes around 20 sec to show up and 30-40 sec to finish up the graphics...

I don't have EDGE either. Only a few market for T-mobile support EDGE anyway..

oh.. forget to put in my last post.. I am using Motorola V3i GPRS.. and I am in Indianapolis area..

I purchased a phone with tzones, and I could not get it to work. My own lack of knowledge on that one. I then ran across this thread and setup the wap.vs.com and the proxy, slow as all hell but it works. The thing is this morning I called and had the data plan added and the tzones removed. But the data plan has not yet been turned on. So my question is can I just get free internet without any plan? I am able to websites through the proxy, why pay for anything. My next question is the actual data plan, does this allow me out without the proxy? It would be nice to be able to use VPN and ssh? Does anyone know of a version on connect or transconnect for 770 to pipe ssh through proxy?


Thanks, any help is appreciated

tnkgrl - you are my hero!

I have been searching everywhere for a way to get my 770 to use my Nokia 3650 for internet... I found your instructions, set it up and I now have wireless internet where-ever I go!

Thank you more than mortal words can express! )

Pardon me for venting folks -- I am getting so frustrated, especially when I see folks talking about how easy it is! )

I have a Sony-Ericsson T610 I'm trying to get working with my 770 via bluetooth. My T-mobile account is set up properly and my laptop (with a cheap no-name bluetooth adapter) and Palm Tungsten E2 both connect through the phone quickly with no problems. My 770 on the other hand has yet to see the internet through this phone and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

I've tried everything I can think of, various versions of the "phone number", the long additional AT command I've found in a few places, compression on/off, plaintext logins on/off ... I don't know any other combinations to try. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm preparing for the embarassment when it turns out to be something stupid, but that's ok, it's better than having no internet! )

FWIW, the T610 is listed as functional on maemo.org's BluetoothDUN compatibility chart. Also, the other bluetooth functions work just great -- I can transfer photos and other files off the phone to my 770 with no problems.

T-Mo is locking down ports and access. They also turned off the $20/mo plan so now only offer the $30/mo "total internet" plan. That plan gives you unlimited internet (access point stays the same with no proxies needed) AND T-Mobile Hotspots. I will test the hotspot access on the 770 next time I make it to a Starbucks.

Yeah - I caved and paid for the extra plan. It's still cheaper than Cingular and Verizon's plan

What might be helpful in figuring this out is some kind of feedback that's more effective than "Internet connection failed. Try again?" ... Is there a relatively easy way to see log output from the attempt to connect?

I have an Xterm installed, but I don't have root yet (which feels, well, just *wrong* for a computer that I own). I guess I'll need to get root access to go any further?
