Upgraded to internet package, can't get connected

[Guest notaliberal]

I've been using the 4.99 t-zones plan for awhile, browsing the web no problem.

Kept wishing I could stream music though, so I finally broke down and went for it...sort of...

I upgraded to the blackberry unlimited add-on, assuming it is the same as the total internet package, just without the stupid hotspots addition.

Waited, and today the text message came saying the new addition was complete.

So, I try and try to set up my GPRS and proxy connections to be able to actually USE this service, and all I can do is browse as before. I cannot stream music still!!

So, I've been pouring over all the settings in various threads, and nothing I find is working.

Briefly, my settings are:

DATA CONNECTIONS:

Internet Connection: T-Zones GPRS

Work Connection: None Available

WAP Connection: T-Zones WAP

Secure WAP Connection: None Available

GPRS CONNECTIONS:

T-Zones GPRS

Connects to: The Internet

Access Point: internet2.voicestream.com

User Name:

Password:

Primary DNS: 216.155.165.50

Secondary DNS: 216.155.165.50

IP Address:

T-Zones WAP

Connects to: The Internet

Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

User Name:

Password:

Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

IP Address:

PROXY CONNECTIONS:

T-Mobile WAP Proxy

Connects From: The Internet

Connects To: WAP Network

Proxy (name:port): 216.155.165.50:8080

Type: HTTP

User name:

Password:

WIth that, I can browse sites if PIE is set to "WAP Network" - if I set it to anything else, with or without checking "automatically detect" , I get either the "verify you have network coverage" error or it gets stuck on locating forever.

I've tried deleting the WAP connection, and the proxy, and combinations of both. Is it possible that I just need to wait another day for the service to work? Or, am I missing something?

I have to even ask this, it seems to be asked SO OFTEN, I'm sure we're all getting sick of looking at GPRS settings... :)

Please advise, if you can...

IF this works, I'm very interested because I'm using the $30/month plan on my MDA and throwing away $10 a month on Hotspot which I haven't even activated.

The only settings I have are an APN of WAP.voicestream.com and no Proxy settings.

You'll probably have to remove the Proxy settings because T-Zones uses a proxy and Total Internet is a direct connection.

I have the BB plan with Tmo on a HTC 3125... I wanted to be able to Push (Corp Ports for email) without having to be 40 per month... You need to set the APN to wap.voicestream like was mentioned... on the blackberry that's the only one that's active... it makes no difference in performance. Everything works perfectly and I'm loving the true Push email...

do you know if you're able to stream music on the GPRS connectio? that's what i couldn't get working...so i cancelled the BB plan and went back to the T-Zones plan.

let me know, thanks...
