Guest Nellis Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Ok, ive looked almost everywhere and I cannot find an answer on this. Can you connect a T-mobile DASH to the internet (gprs/edge) if you have the $5.99 t-zones internet plan , and use proxy settings like other models?? This would bypass having to purchase the $30 total internet package plan that they are selling w/ the dash. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated! thanks!

Guest notaliberal Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm nearly positive that you can. T-mobile will, of course, tell you differently... Is the dash a ppc or a smartphone? Either way, go to think link and get the proper cabs for your phone. If it 's a smartphone, use the first link. If it's a ppc, use the link from post #7. Transfer the cabs to the phone, and run them with the file manager. Then set the Options -> Connections menu in PIE to connect via WAP Network. Let us know if that works, good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellis Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 according to t-mobile it is a smartphone,.. I asked 2 sales reps this question (they knew their s***,.. somewhat) one said that you can,.. the other said you cant because you no longer have access to the proxy settings on the DASH. From what I read on random websites, you cannot access all areas of t-zones on the dash, people are reporting that you cannot download ringers, etc. Maybe this is an attempt by t-mobile to stop us from changing the proxy?

Guest notaliberal Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 huh, it is proving difficult to find any info on this. Still, if anything, I would assume t-mobile simplu HID the proxy settings from us, because we all found out how to set them up for t-zones. That being said, I bet you can sstill install the cabs and get it working. I'm nearly certain that it couldn't do any harm, it would just fail the install, or say it's not intended for your device. Give it a shot and see if it works... Then report back what you find... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chaznet Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 The Dash has a separate browser for TZones, WinWap. Without the TZones plan, you can access your billing info with it, with the TZones plan you get the other stuff. For IE browsing, Exchange Mail, etc, you'll need the Total Internet package which costs quite a bit more. They've been working towards a way to offer TZones and/or Total Internet on Windows Mobile devices -- looks like the Dash is the first one to have this. huh, it is proving difficult to find any info on this.

Guest wizzerdo Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 it is very possible... i set up a proxy on my spare computer at home... now my friend and i have unlimited access over edge... i also set up some free software that allows me to stream any videos or music on my desktop...and since it's a media center as well...i stream live tv...the software converts it to cell screen size...

Guest bennybenz Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 CORRECT TMobile GPRS/t-zones settings for Microsoft Smartphones Connections->GPRS->Tmobile GPRS: Connects to: WAP Network Access point: wap.voicestream.com Connections->Proxy->T-mobile: Connects from: WAP Network Connects to: The Internet Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080 Type: HTTP Connections->Menu->Advanced: all connections set to automatic Edge and IE work fine on any of the T-Zones plans with these settings on the dash just pop them in to Settings / Connection / Does anyone know any easy way to switch between GPRS and WiFi? After I have the proxy settings like above I have to manually change my programs (e.g. IE) to select the WAP Network, which would require that I change it manually aswell when I want to use WiFi. thanks.

Guest Bade Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 i enabled my tzones and tried the setting above immediately afterwards and got some kind of page error. then i entered these other setting i had saved in a notepad.

Guest Mrs. Dash Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Using only the TZones plan for 5.99 with the Proxy settings can one have unlimited use of email and internet explorer? is the speed similar or slower than total internet? My only concern is if the email only works with the total internet plan for $29 or is it fully functional using the TZones plan?

I have a Dash with WinMo6 and cannot get it to connect to the Internet (as I did with my MDA) nor with Exchange Server. Are you running WinMo6 or version 5? Also, if you are using 6 and it works, could you pass on the settings? I used T-Zones with my MDA and it worked well!

Guest bigxsig Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) OK, well I'm positive that I don't have the 29.99 Internet plan, nor the 5.99 T-Zones web plan, but I entered int he settings above, and then when I used my Internet Explorer, I was connected to the internet. I had wifi turned off so it wasn't that, and my phone wasn't connected via usb. Is the 5.99 T-zones web plan the one that lets you have T-zones in general? Like to download ringtones or wallpaper and stuff because I have that, but Idk about the T-mobile web. And does putting in those settings automatically give you the plan or something and now I have 5.99 put on my bill, or will it charge me everytime I use the internet? Please reply!

P.S., this was all tested on 4 different t-mobile dash phones I used to have the $19.99 plan now I saw this so changed to $5.99 plan. After I set up as above, the web browser works fine but my email accounts set in the outlook mobile as using smtp and imap4 started to have sync error. These email accounts are from google email to regular smtp server, all used to work when I had $19.99 plan. The setting difference between $19.99 and $5.99 plan is in the GPRS access point, it used to be: internet2.voicestream.com, now is wap.voicestream.com The other difference is the proxy setting, used to be wap.voicestream.com:8080 now 216.150.165.50:8080. The tricky one is the "connect from" and "connect to" in the proxy setting: if I set as connect from "the internet" and connect to "wap network", then web won't work but email are fine; Otherwise, if it's connect from wap network and connect to the internet as instructed in above, then the web works fine but email all have sync error. What's the catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
