SMT-5600 & T-Zones (Internet) FAQ

[Guest jleecong]

Due to all the posts I have been seeing regarding T-Mobile blocking port 80 and myself having problems accessing the Internet I needed to figure out a solution. So here is the solution.

Settings for 4.99 & 9.99 T-Zones

Edited January 16, 2005 by jleecong

[Guest clenaghen]

I deleted all my GPRS and WAP settings and started over using your suggestions and I still do not have any WAP web page access, T-zones or not. I CAN still send and receive email, so I know I am at least talking via the GPRS network.

[Guest jleecong]

It would be a problem with the proxy setting. It's very wierd in that http:// is now wsp://, you even type http://somesite it shows as wsp://somesite. when you view the address bar.

I'll take some screen shots of everything to make it even clearer.

[Guest jleecong]

Screenshots of each page and their settings, plus some in action photos.

Prior to upgrading to the 19.95 plan, I had TZones homepage working, using the wsp:// that jleecong mentioned, however it did not work for all sites. When I substituted wsp for http in some websites, they wouldn't come up completely. It was able to read the title of the webpage - which appeared in the title bar, but eventually it would come up with an error in PocketIE.

Prior to upgrading to the 19.95 plan, I had TZones homepage working, using the wsp:// that jleecong mentioned, however it did not work for all sites.  When I substituted wsp for http in some websites, they wouldn't come up completely.  It was able to read the title of the webpage - which appeared in the title bar, but eventually it would come up with an error in PocketIE.

I don't use wsp, it is automatically updated from http to wsp. It's only been 2 days but I haven't had any of the problems like you mention, but I do use mostly Mobile Web sites.

The above fix is to get IE working on T-Mobile if you are having problems. No telling what rules T-Mobile has in place now that they enforce the proxy. They could have excluded urls or their proxy could have a issue with the site.

[Guest clenaghen]

I have tried all the settings that are working for you. Still cant get anything to work. When I try to go to a website, IE says "Connecting.." for a couple seconds, which, I assume means I have successfully connected to the GPRS network, then IE says "Finding Site..." and then eventually times out. Looks like it works for the T-mobile service in your area, but not in mine.... if that is possible...

[Guest mgama]

Have you tried rebooting your phone after making the data connection changes? That helped me when upgrading to the data plan.

[Guest jmorehouse]

Had Internet working just fine for almost a month and then died last week. Tried all the settings above and rebooted the phone and still no access. Man this sucks! I might have to cancel my $4.99 plan until we can figure this out.

[Guest clenaghen]

Is internet access faster with the $19.99 service than the $4.99 t-zones service?

[Guest smeg36]

I don't think it is supposed to be faster, but it sure seems quicker to me. It could just be the better signal I am getting with my SMT5600 over the E200.

[Guest jleecong]

So it's working for some and not others. I'm in Florida and another user has it working in Seattle, WA. I won't lie and say that above is the only way to do it. It took me about 2 hours of just playing and reading all kinds of different setups from different phone types to get the above working.

Above should be the proper way T-Zones works, since they enforced the proxy. I would suggest people to play with the settings (some say don't use port 9201, use 0 etc.) to see if they can get it working or setup your own proxy.

[Guest jleecong]

I found another user who got simular settings a slightly different way. Worth a look/try if the above doesn't work.

Warning

Using what he suggested "broke" my connection and I had to reapply my settings, but for those that my settings don’t work maybe his will.

im guessing the 4.99 plan is officially over..

[Guest jleecong]

For tethering yes, surfing from the phone no. You should be able to surf using your phone browser and connect to T-Zones etc. thats what the $4.99 service is. Mobile Internet, T-Zones, and E-Mail.

[Guest coyspiracy]

this sux. even with the 19.99 plan, i still loose connection..

[Guest bgro]

Hello all,

I'm in South Florida and got T-Zones up and running using the settings that jleecong supplied (using the smt5600 on TMobile). For some reason, I can't send or receive MMS messages...can anyone help me out here? Do I need to change any settings? Can't find where to edit MMS settings if I did...thanks!

[Guest clenaghen]

So I take it that the Internet Unlimited plan didnt fix your problem? I was wondering about that. I have been hesitant to switch over from the $4.99 T-zones plan to the $19.99 Unlimited Internet plan. Like I mentioned, T-mobile told me last week they were having some problems with access to the internet through T-zones. For the non-supported phones, I am wondering if the problems still exist whether you switch plans or not.

[Guest coyspiracy]

oh no, it works..i was mistaken..sorry. the only page you cant get into is google..

This is a tutorial page on how to change the settings.

These are the correct setting to use for T-Mobile.

Name: Whatever you want (I used MMS)

MMSC URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

WAP Gateway: 216.155.165.50

Port: 9201

T-Mobile doesn't suggest a Max Send Size but the default 300K worked for me.

I'm sorry, this is gonna sound like a really dumb question...But how do you guys type slashes for website addys? I'm trying to figure out how to type /

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Press "#" for about 10 seconds and you will get all the additional characters available.

[Guest hyedipin]

These settings work fine for the SDA, but won't let me use MSN Messenger or anything else besides PIE. How can I use MSN/others with above? MSN does not have any option to set which connection to use.

I am using WM5.

Also, WMP can stream mms:// streams of live tv's via wi-fi, but it won't work with t-zones. Is there a way to get that done?

And what is the max speed of T-Zones, does anyone know?

Thank You! ;)
