I'm working on it as we speak. Maybe I'll get it figured out. I hope so.

I've been using it with this plan for some time now. From what I can tell, the differences are with the My T-Mobile web site, i.e.: I can put Exchange settings in the phone and it works, but I can't add Exchange settings to the My T-Mobile email service as you can with the higher priced plans -- but -- why would I want to if I can do it directly via my SP5m...?

Also, it works completely using the T-Mobile connection settings I found at this site, but not with the T-Mobile settings at the iMate site -- sorry, don't have a link for the settings, but you'll find the carrier settings topic with a quick search.

well i know how to use the gprs now but i would love to use the real internet, any1 knows it yet?

[Guest chaznet]

Um... I'm using the 'real' internet -- why don't you just pay the $5 and see if it does what you want, if it doesn't -- cancel the plan...

ok i seem i got it to work, i was using wap few weeks ago and i dont like that much, but now im using the real internet, with the html view and all. but one thing.. i cant seem to play the radio. it only works when i plug it to my pc with the usb. is there anyway i can fix this?

[Guest chaznet]

By 'radio' I'm assuming you mean internet radio streams...? Mine works great for this (best with WiFi). I did find that if I used the 'operator settings' cab-file for T-Mobile from the iMate web site, the streams would time out after a few minutes (error message about losing connection). Once I used the settings from the message here, in the 'operator settings' topic, the lost connections stopped happening.

I also can not seem to stream internet radio or other media from the internet.

What settings are you using?

Is this on the $5 T-Zones plan?

Can you provide a link that shows what settings you used, or can you list the settings here?
