Are these the ones you tried? They work flawlessly on my SPV with T-Mobile. Are you sure you have t-zones activated with T-mobile?

You need a proxy for WAP and also to set IE to auto.

There's another set of US T-mobile GPRS settings in lower half of page2 which should be everything you need. Others have used it with success.

Give it a try and let us know if you any problems.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

I can confirm that the settings work perfectly as described above. I dont have the SPV anymore so I can't check but you could try changing your IP from 050 to 50 at the end. Probably doesn't make a difference but I think I remember having just the 50.

I would also add the WAP settings as described in the lower half of the thread.

[Guest supersha]

thanks, here is what i have done so far. I deleted all the SMART settings and went in fresh to enter the t-mobile settings. but now how do i add back in the MMS settings, there seems no way to add that setup screen back after i have deleted it. (I'm more interested in getting GPRS working though). I have set IE to automatic so i cannot figure out what i a missing. whenever i try to connect to IE, it says "dailing" at the top left of the screen; should it be doing that.

Thanks again for the help.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

I don't know if the SAMRT phone has the same MMS setup screen as the SPV but there is an icon in the programs listing called MMS Setup. It may not be on the SMART phone so someone else may need to conform.

As far as it saying DAILING....do you have a connection under CSD connections? If so this is your dial-up coinnection and needs to be configured as well per the settings listed on this site.

When you first go into data connections make sure you are connecting thru your GPRS settings (names T-Mobile GPRS or something like that) and not the CSD settings.

GPRS should point to the T-Mobile GPRS settings

WAP should point to the WAP settings.

I dont have the phone anymore but hopefully someone could give you the correct verbage. Keep trying...the T-Mobile settings work great here on the east coast and probably everywhere else. Once you understand the set-up...you'll understand how it works and will be able to make the settings second-nature.

[Guest supersha]

yeah, i found the MMS Setup and configured it. i have it set to t-zones (do caps matter in the settings?) in the GPRS connection. but why when i go to theoptions for tzones under internet connections, does it care where my desktop connects to? i have this set to the internet. correct?

i have tried both gprs settings and neither work. i'm baffled. i do subscribe to t-zones, as i had it on my v70 and it worked fine.

?????

Try this to test each GPRS connection seperately

1 Create proxy connection for WAP.

Description : T-Zones WAP Proxy

The Internet, WAP Network, 216.155.165.50, WAP

2 Create GPRS connections for T-Zones WAP

Description: T-Zones WAP

The Internet, wap.voicestream.com

3 Create GPRS conenction for internet

Description: T-Zones GPRS

The Internet, internet2.voicestream.com

4 Make the following data connections

Internet connection= T-Zones GPRS (uses HTTP for HTML & WML pages)

WAP connection = T-Zones WAP (uses WSP for WML pages)

Check connections (use menu-refresh to re-load page if needed)

5 Int.Explorer - de-tick 'auto' and make Select network=The Internet.

6 Successfully access http://www.google.com/wml site and use properties to confirm Type=WML and protocol=HTTP

7 Int.Explorer- de-tick 'auto' and make Select network=WAP Network

8 Successfully access wsp://www.google.com/wml site and use properties to confirm Type=WML and protocol=WSP

9 If both connections are successfull then goto Int.Explorer - tick 'auto detect settings' to allow either protocol to be used automatically.

Are you using http://wap.myvoicestream.com for the homepage ?

Have you tried using wsp:// instead.

Let us know if it works or not.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

and the MMS must use the WAP settings not the GPRS. Is that right Martin?

[Guest nickcornaglia]

Oh yeah....You will not be able to get T-Zones (T-Mobile's WAP sites). They are not made for that phone. Treat your phone as if it were a PocketPC not a Motorola mobile.

(at least I couldn't get to t-zones, I could be wrong).

You're looking to get GPRS connectivity for HTML sites (The internet)

WAP connectivity for WAP sites

And MMS connectivity via WAP.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

So you don't have to go back and forth....these settings worked for me. And listen to Martin...he's the pro on this! Where in the US are you located?

[Guest martin]

Yep. It will either use the WAP APN or a seperate APN like 'mms'.

In either case you want to create a new GPRS connection for MMS and point it to the MMS software (MMS connection) which will allow you to receive as well. Associating the MMS setup data to the GPRS WAP connection will give the right APN for transmitting but the receive will be incorrectly connected to WAP software (the WAP connection).

I can connect to T-zones using wsp://www.t-zones.co.uk

You have to register though to use some services like e-mail.

I think with voicestream WAP they want you to register too.

More importantly Cornaglian said

I dont have the SPV anymore so I can't check

:shock: :shock: What happened ? You're a MoDaCo + member now so you can't NOT have an SPV - its unthinkable.

[Guest supersha]

once again, thanks for the notes. i am going to try all this now.

i am not so interested in having the t-zones, but i want to be able to get to websites. airline info, etc. and also be able to send and receive my email. I get sms messages. i am in the NY metro area. i just cannot imagine what i am doing wrong. i am going to deltee all the entries in the 'data connection' and start from scratch once again.

question - why do some of the US t mobile settings show an entry in the DNS while another has them all as 0.0.0.0? I found t mobiles settings on their website, but they don;t really seem to jive with what's been going on in this forum.

sha

[Guest supersha]

Ok - Martin, i put your settings in exactly after deleting all the previous entries. still nothing. i get a big 'ERROR. unabale to connect. verify network coverage and try again.'

it's really bumming me out. i don't understnd why my spvx says at the top left 'dialing'. is it trying to dial out. the 'g' on the top right flashes while doing so, but in the end i get the error message.

sha

ok - how about this. i can get on to wsp://wap.smart.com.ph/ (and i have deleted all the smart settings, only the t-mobile settings are on my spvx but nothing else!!!what am i doing wrong?????

ok next step- i got martin's wsp google site to work. so why can i not get hhtml working.

[Guest martin]

First of all I assume that you are on a contract SIM.

When you get 'unable to connect' which address are you trying to connect to ? It may be that you need the apn internet2.voicestream.com activated by T-mobile.

ok - how about this. i can get on to wsp://wap.smart.com.ph/

Are you saying that you CAN connect to this WAP site using WSP://. Can you connect other WAP sites using WSP ?

I think these are the DNS addresses you are talking about. I think for NY you can use 216.155.175.170, 216.155.175.171. This would just be for the APN internet2.voicestream.com

[Guest supersha]

yes martin, i am on a contract sim with usa t mobile.

yes - it looks like i can get on to wsp sites. though i am do not know the difference between wsp and html sites and setting. i assume wsp is for mobile???

[Guest martin]

I forgot to say that to see dialling is normal although you are right to question it because you don't actually dial into the GPRS network. The user simply does a GPRS attach to the serving gateway node and establishes a logical connection.

The dialling refers to an IP conection being made to the internet. Hence dialling, finding page and connecting.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

This may be a stupid question but.....

You do have GPRS with T-Mobile right? You mentioned that you are coming from a motorola phone which wouldn't have use for GPRS unless you were using it like a modem.

If not, you can sign-up for UNLIMITED GPRS for $19.99 from T-Mobile. Which is a really great deal.

[Guest supersha]

i just checked my online account. i have the gprs sms bucket? plan. along with my t-zones. i was able to access wsp://www.t-zones.com with no problem. so does this mean i can only access wsp sites?

here it is cut frommy t mobile page

[Guest nickcornaglia]

Martin...shouldn't the DNS addresses be set to 216.155.165.050???

If so...the settings in Articles are all set to 0.0.0.0

How did that happen?

By the way...I am in Philadelphia and the 216.155.165.050 numbers work in North and South Jersey which I frequent much of the week so the alternate numbers may not be your solution here.

[Guest martin]

yes - it looks like i can get on to wsp sites. though i am do not know the difference between wsp and html sites and setting. i assume wsp is for mobile???

WSP (wireless session protocol) is part of WAP and is a protocol used for the access of WML pages only. You have the WAP APN activated bt T-mobile which isn't surprising as everyone is given it (you'll get WAP given by default on any network).

The APN for internet software which gives access to HTML pages is a bit different and you may have to ask T-mobile to activate this service seperately. They will call it something like internet or web surfing.

Internet and WAP are two different software applications that process different pages being HTML and WML.

At this point I would give T-mobile CS a call to check your account.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

WSP is a WAP site....which you can get thru T-Zones.

You still need GPRS to get to HTML sites and get your email.

EDIT: Martin beat me to it!

By the way Martin....I sold out and bought the Samsung i700 PPC Phone(CDMA phone) under Verizon.

[Guest supersha]

nick - i just tried to AIM you. from Martin's notes, he does not put in the dns for GPRS. is that correct?

[Guest nickcornaglia]

I just turned on AIM try again.

Yep, they were asked for but I don't think they make any difference.

Try changing the DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 99.99.99.99 and it will probably still work because the networks will more than likely create a fixed DNS address at the SGSN so your DNS settings in the phone won't actually do anything. Try it. (if you had an SPV :lol:)

I've have seen the actual Orange DNS address and its not what I though it would be.
