Cannot get to T-Zones WAP page on MiTAC 8380...

[Guest BoB-O Wireless]

Hello all,

I recently got a MiTAC 8380 (YEAH!) and dropped in my T-Mobile USA SIM. It's really a nice phone, but I'm having the smallest touch of trouble and it's really annoying me. I have all the data stuff set up just fine (as described in the settings repository), however I cannot get to the T-Zones WAP page. I've tried http://wap.myvoicestream.com and wsp://wap.myvoicestream.com. Both of them give me a "Could not find the requested site" error. I can get to every other WAP and HTML site I try. Just T-Zones is giving me fits. Any ideas?

Thanks,

BoB

Bob, I'm having the exact same problem here in the US on T-Mobile, but with an i-Mate Smartphone. I had this working while I was using an unlocked P800, but the only way I could make it work is by connecting to the wap.voicestream.com APN... and even then, could not use some of my other services, so ended up connection primarily to internet2.voicestream.com. I have yet to try this on my i-Mate. If you try it, please let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

Have you tried GPRS? I am trying to purchase an 8380 on T-Mobile (USA) and have read that they support GPRS for an additional $20/month.

I'm having the same problem myself. I too have an 8380 and really like it. I tried to get T-Mobile's internet service in the US for $20/mo. but because of the way they do their credit checks, they wouldn't allow me to get it (weird if you ask me.) So I went with the T-zones thing for 6 months until they get their issues worked out. Of course since I didn't get the 8380 thru T-Mobile, they refuse to assist with configuring the thing to operate using T-Zones. If anyone has had success getting T-Zones to work with the 8380 I would be very interested in learning how to do it. I'm paying for the service after all. :)

Here's a T-zones topic that should help.

I will be interesting to know if T-zones will work on the mio 8380 too.
