Guest smeg36 Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I use the settings found in the repository. I have the $5/month unlimited T-Zones, which allows me to connect to any webpage I want. The settings I use are: Internet Connection-T-Zones Under GPRS Connection, create new. Name it T-Zones. Connects To: The Internet Access point: wap.voicestream.com Username and Password left blank Primary DNS: 216.155.165.50 Secondary DNS: 216.155.165.50 IP address left blank Then under internet connection, choose T-Zones. That is what I use, and it works great. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest D-rated Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I have the same settings as smeg36 and I can connect to any page via pocketIE. I had the 19.99 unlimited internet access for about 2 days, then switched to 4.99 unlimited t-zones, and have found absolutely no difference.

Guest aristoBrat Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 FWIW, the $0.00 "Included WAP access" feature will let you connect to everything that the $4.99/$9.99 t-zones plans do. :lol: My current optional services -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included WAP Access Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Maybe it is just my plan because I don't have enough credit, so I have to go with the Smartaccess plan, but I don't have any Included WAP access option with mine. I have to get the T-Zones to get the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aristoBrat Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 If it helps any, I had to call Customer Service and ask to have the "free t-zones that just let me download the ringtones and stuff" added... But even for $4.99/month, it's still a helluva good deal! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â :lol: Interesting . . . I have the included WAP access, I just checked my account online. So am I paying $4.99 for nothing? Are your connection settings the same as ours, or different?

The only difference that I've seen is that if you drop your SIM in another T-Mo phone that doesn't have a browser like IE (or Doris/Opera), the default T-Zones menu that pops up only has 3 things on it. Connection is still the same. Access Point = wap.voicestream.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gomichaelkgo Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Does anybody know how to use a dialup connection with Pocket IE? Nocharge.com offers a free dialup modem. access number: 2064951000, username="guest" password="password" DNS for nocharge.com is 64.40.40.51 If needed, there is the ericsson wap gateway ip:193.95.167.178 If I can get this working, I can use the browser and just use my (unlimited evening and weekend) minutes instead of the unreasonable rates for ATT GPR$. What I've tried: New Dialup connection: Nocharge (entered access phone number, login, and DNS for nocharge). under data connections: Internet Connection: NoCharge In IE: Uncheck "automatically detect settings". Select Network: The internet. The phone dials, but isn't able to view web pages. I was able to use this service on my T68i without a problem. I even tried setting up a test connection with my desk phone as the access point, and the phone tried to connect. My computer monitor flickers wildly if I set an active GSM phone in a certain spot, and did so when IE was trying to establish a connection. However, my desk phone never rang. Anyone know how to get this working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grossygrossy Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Wait a minute........ I pay $10/month for uynlimited t-zones. However, I just set the phone to AWS GPRS and I have a connection to the Internet. So, does this mean I can get rid of T-Zones? :?: :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aristoBrat Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I think this is how it works: "Free WAP browsing" unlimited GPRS usage for SMTP, HTML, POP3 & IMAP (On most phones, when you connect to t-zones with this plan, you only get three choices. But, if you have a phone with a real browser (or a WAP browser that let you enter URLs directly), you can go anywhere, just like with a $$$ t-zones plan) "$4.99 t-zones" same as above "$9.99 t-zones" same as above, plus a little proxy thing that gives you access to corporate email, contacts and calendar If you change your plan, be careful -- some of the older $$$ t-zone plans came with text/MMS messaging, and the "Free WAP browsing" does not.

Guest hanya Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 :) Thanks to all of you I got online with my ATT unlocked phone using T-mobile GPRS. I am still a little confused on the charges though, Am I paying 4.99 for nothing?? I don't even use T-zone, I use yahoo as my portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoos Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Can you guys read MSN Mobile Hotmail and use MSN messenger with the T-Mobile settings? If so, what ROM version do you have (I have UK 1.61) and are you using the same settings as smeg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference I've seen between the "free WAP browsing" and the $4.99 t-zones is that the "free WAP browsing" won't let you into the full-blown t-zones portal screen -- which doesn't matter, since T-Mobile won't let Smartphones use that portal anyhow. :D FWIW, I'm using the "free WAP browsing" and can get anywhere with no problems, so long as it's on port 25 (SMTP), 80 (HTML), and IMAP/POP (forget those port #s).

Guest aristoBrat Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Can you guys read MSN Mobile Hotmail and use MSN messenger with the T-Mobile settings? Remember that all t-zones plans only let certain ports thru to the Internet -- SMTP, HTML, POP3 and IMAP. MSN Messenger uses some weird port that t-zones doesn't let thru. You can download (for free) the Agile Messenger client, which lets you connect to AIM, Yahoo, and MSN on port 80 (HTML, so that does work), but you're actually relaying your IM chats thru their servers. If you're a privacy freak, take that into consideration. I think that logging into Hotmail uses SSL (port 443), another port that t-zones doesn't let thru. Don't know of a workaround for that one. Anyhow, unless you find a workaround, they will only T-Mo's $19.99 plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoos Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Messenger must have changed ports or something then because it used to work before their security update :) Is there any way to find out what ports a certain site uses (and the port an Internet necessary program uses, i.e. Messenger)? As far as a workaround.... This is strange and I don't know why it does this.. (Anyone know?), but.... I can connect to MSN Mobile Hotmail on the phone through passthrough. I can then change the settings back to GPRS, turn the phone completely off, turn it back on and I can THEN access MSN Mobile Hotmail through GPRS?? Anyone know why that does that??? After a while though (a few hours) if I don't connect to Hotmail it will no longer work until I do the passthrough thing again... I don't get it?! :? Anyone have any ideas on how I can do some type of work around so it always works on GPRS? Maybe there is some other site I can launch first or a program that will do to the phone whatever the passthrough is doing? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aristoBrat Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Until a month or two ago, t-zones didn't block any ports -- so everything used to work. Any chance that was during the time-frame that MSN last worked on the phone? My guess for the Hotmail problem is that when you login to the MSN passport site (thru passthru), it puts a cookie on your phone that's good for a few hours. So, when you go connect thru GPRS and the cookie is still good, it works because you don't have to relogin in (which doesn't work because the port is blocked). Once the cookie expires and you have to relogin, you're toast. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoos Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Thanks aristo! I'll see if I can find the cookie and try to keep it on there!?? My MSN Hotmail hasn't worked for about 3 months now... It's very annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Exodia Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Im using a local carrier here in Bermuda and ive not yet been able to surf the net on my phone, even though i can connect to the GPRS network. Ive input all the correct settings for GPRS and it connects fine, but i cant get to any web pages. I'd try to get to wap.yahoo.com and other sites and every time, i would get an alert telling me that the page can not be found. Am i doing something wrong? Any sugesstions?? Also, has anyone managed to connect to the internet through dial-up? If so, what where your settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aristoBrat Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Almost all of the stuff you mentioned requires the $19.99/month (unblocked) T-Mo Internet plan to work. The old Agile used to connect to everything (AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, etc) via port 80, which works on the FREE WAP, all t-zones, and $19.99/month Internet plan. IIRC, the latest Agile tries to connect to everything using their regular port numbers, which are NOT open on FREE WAP or any of the t-zones plans. My guess is that ICQ works on your laptop because the client is smart enough to use port 80 when it can't connect using its regular port. Logging in to most sites will also fail beause it typically uses HTTPS, which is port 443. Port 443 is not open on the FREE WAP or t-zones plans. The only ports open on the FREE WAP/t-zones plans are: 25 - SMTP (sending email) 80 - WAP/HTML (surfing) + anything else you can get to use it, like some Instant Messaging programs 110 - POP3 (fetching email) 143 - IMAP4 (fetching email) It's pretty limiting, but for free, .. what the heck ...
