hey guys, this question is for tmobile users. ive called tmobile, and nobody knows what theyre talking about. im trying to figure out the difference between the 5.99 tzones plan and the 29.99 total internet package. i guess i just wanna figure out what i can do with the 5.99 plan. thanks
ps. anybody hear when tmobile is gonna release the wm6 update? ive been hearing that wm6 is also gonna have office mobile, anybody hear this? thanks
omar
tmobile is in the process of locking down the 5.99 plan so depending on where you live the results may very. some are getting unlimite internet with NO plan whatsoever and others are getting full internet with the 5.99 plan but still no proxy.
its SUPPOSED to work like this: the 5.99 plan allows wap access to mobile wap sites, email and sms. The proxy currently allows http browsing and limited streams/downloads but this may be locked down at some time if they can ever figure out how to allow email and wap but not http. be aware that java apps like opera mini as well as msn messenger/mail will NOT work with the proxy.
there is an option to the total internet plan. you can sign up for the blackberry plan for 19.99 which gives unlimited access but does not include tmobile email or hotspots. you can however set up blackberry connect which i have no experience with but some here seem to like it.
go to howardforums.com for the best info on tmobile plans.
thanks, chris
they wont tell you the proxy. just order it and don't say that you have a smartphone. the 5.99$ plan is great. the settings are all over the internet.
they always want to argue with you that this is not for pocket pc and smartphone users. but who cares.
They shut me down and I called and complained. I was told that I would have to use their $29.99 plan for internet, and the Dash was incompatible with T-Zones ($5.99) internet plan. I told them when I bought the phone the salesman signed me up for T-Zones, and if the Dash didn't support it why was there a T-Zone button on the Dash? They turned me back on to the $5.99 plan. I get to every site I need to get to with T-Zones. If they try and shut you down complain, and tell them that the Dash has a dedicated T-Zone button on it right next to the camera and email button.
I'm using the same setup with my Treo 680. I just swap out my Dash's SIM card and put it in my Treo. I go to preferences>network>and select T-Zones and it connects. I can surf, and send email.
In the states, I had to upgrade to the $29.95 plan. It includes the $5.99 plan, plus gives me hotspots for use with my laptop when I travel. It's been worth it. And allows me to use the phone as an ISP modem as a last resort. I did need to add the proxy for T-Zones to work properly.
The problem is T-Mobile is turing off T-Zones on Dash owners, it has nothing to do with their wifi hot spot connections. They want to charge $29.99 to use their EDGE network unlimited. They can't get away with this because they put a T-Zone button on the Dash, therefore allowing Dash customers to get the $5.99 plan T-Zone plan. They turned me right back on when I told them that they have a T-Zone button on the phone, it's not my problem they've just decided that Dash customers should pay $29.99 for their slow EDGE network. That little pink t-zone button on the Dash is biting them in the @$$. They've got to honor the $5.99 price.
There's a lot of misinformation here... here's how it is:
The $5.99 T-Zones plan is very limited. You get weather updates, TMobile account info, movie showtimes, news headlines and a few other similar offerings. You don't get email, or unlimited browsing. Very basic and only works with the WAP browser on the Dash, not IE.
For quite some time, if you had T-Zones, you could set up IE with the T-Zones proxy info and get unlimited browsing without upgrading your plan. I could also access my Exchange email using the email application on my phone. It was great when it worked for me, but at some point it stopped -- I called customer support and the guy explained that it wasn't supposed to work this way and they were in the process of upgrading their systems to enforce the T-Zones level of service, and that I had to upgrade to the Total Internet package. Some users are still able to utilize the T-Zones proxy settings for this, but eventually it won't be possible for anyone.
The Total Access is over-priced. You have to subscribe to the HotSpot service to get Internet access, priced separately but only available as a bundle. I don't like it as I never use the HotSpot (Starbucks/FedEx/Kinkos WiFi) service but have to pay for it to get internet. That is until recently -- a user posted that if you go to your settings at the TMobile web site, change your phone type to a Blackberry, and then add the Internet plan priced at $20. I did this and it works, without any proxy settings, but as with the TZones thing, who knows for how long.

thats crap dude. they just tell this to you. don't tell them that you have the dash. just order t-zones and configure it manually. after that everything http based works great. socket transfers are blocked. thats right. but who cares...
I purchased my Dash last month and my salesman told me I only needed the Blackberry plan (19.99/mo) for unlimited Internet access (the 29.99 total access plan was needed for push e-mail only). I did have an opportunity to talk with Tmo customer support and they, as my salesman warned, told me I had the wrong plan, that my phone was not compatible with the Blackberry service but when I was firm about not needing their total-access package I was left alone. I think the cost of the package they push depends on the cost and capabilities of the phone your purchased, not what is actually needed for Internet access.

Totally agree, I get every web page I need and all my email using the T-Zone plan. They're just trying to get more $$ out of us. It works, just configure it and you're good to go.
Um... sorry 'dude', it's the way it is. If it's working for you, great, it won't forever.

Did the guy tell you it wouldn't work with push email? It works fine for me with the blackberry plan.

I did previsously have it configured with TZones (read the post) and it worked -- then it stopped and can no longer be configured with the TZones proxy settings.

you need to call T-Mobile, I bet they shut you down. They did the same thing to me. They gave me BS that their servers did updates and found Dash owners were getting internet, and they shouldn't be. They said they had to turn it off. I said that I was sold a Dash with T-ZONE and it worked fine up until that point, there's a reason why there's a T-Zone button on the Dash. They probably turned u off, tell them to turn you back on.
This happended before I got my Dash, I had the SDA at the time. They actually offer TZones with the Dash, it works with the WAP browser (the one that comes up when you push the TZones button) but not IE.

OK! I am sorry to say to you that this is incorrect
I JUST yesterday flashed to kavana rom...I had to play with the internet settings for awhile...but ALL my JAVA apps do work (btw I LOVE Opera Mini, I'm new to it) Gmail APP works...pocket IE works, EMAIL works (which was the *****y one to get working for me) everything internet related works...I can download files and the whole shabang...and I am on the $5.99 plan
here is a tutorial of how to get your internet working (I did this tutorial step-by-step and I can confirm it works 100%)
Using the web with just the $5.99 plan
Credit for the below information goes to the members of Howardforums.com
Unlimited internet with the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service
The $29.99/month T-Mobile Total Internet package is not required to have unlimited internet access on the Dash, instead the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service is all you need. Note the following limitations to the T-MobileWeb internet service:
1. The internet applications on your device will need to have an option to specify a connection to a proxy server, if it doesn't have this option then the application most likely will not be able to access the internet.
2. The following applications will not work over T-MobileWeb: MSN Messenger, Agile Messenger (without the proxy option), some streaming media, Hotmail, Pocket MSN, and Java applications.
To setup the internet connection over T-MobileWeb follow these instructions:
1. Add the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service to your current voice plan (it may take up to 72 hours to activate, but typically takes less than 24 hours).
2. Follow the below instructions to setup the Dash:
1. Add the T-MobileWeb (T-Zones) Proxy Connection
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Proxy -> Menu -> Add
Description: T-Zones Proxy
Connects from: Wap Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy (name : port): 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Press Done.
2. Configure the Existing Data Connection
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> GPRS -> T-Mobile Data -> Menu -> Edit
Connects to: WAP Network
Access point: wap.voicestream.com
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP address: <blank>
Press Done.
3. Configure Pocket Internet Explorer
Start Menu -> Internet Explorer -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Connections
Uncheck "Automatically detect settings".
Select Network: The Internet (Must be set to "The Internet" to work over WiFi. Try "WAP Network" if you're having trouble over the EDGE/GPRS connection)
Press Done.
4. Configure Messaging (follow these steps for POP or IMAP email accounts that have been manually setup)
Start Menu -> Messaging -> Highlight your email account -> Menu -> Settings -> Press Next twice
Select Network: WAP Network
Press Next three times then Finish.
The following applies to email on WM6:
In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data: Tmobile Data
Connects to: Wap Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
AND add another GPRS option:
T-Mobile Data2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy
First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy2
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC
To get the Exchange Server working:
(Exchange Server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet
To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)
Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work
NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isnt available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)
To get IE working:
(In IE)Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network
Thanks for posting those settings. Since upgrading my Dash to Windows Mobile 6.1 I could no longer use the internet using the T-Zones plan (I could send and receive email only). With the above settings I can use the internet and email, thanks again for posting these!!
FYI there is no need for the $29.99 plan. I have a $19.99 unlimited internet plan that allows me to do everything, and INCLUDES hotspot access. Maybe they just messed up on mine, but I have no problems with it, unlimited internet and push email (but not through tmobile email servers -- i have my own).
All you guys need is the total internet add-on for 19.99 and just set up the vpn or run the automatic wizard setting for tmobile.
Unlimited internet with the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service
The $19.99/month T-Mobile Total Internet package is not required to have unlimited internet access on the Dash, instead the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service is all you need. Note the following limitations to the T-MobileWeb internet service:

wow this is new ;P
It's not really new. You actually can't access it with the latest Tmobile ROM for the Dash (which includes WM6). They have disabled it. You USED to be able to access the web with the old ROM but they disabled it for the most recent one. I pay the $20 a month, and I use it quite a bit, but I also have a laptop and connect to TMobile hot spots pretty regularly as well.

Funny, I use WM6, pay $5.99/month and I can still use PIE and get Gmail through Edge. Glad you're utilizing the $20/month plan to its fullest, but I'll take the $168/yr savings.
Oh This works... I use it on my WM6 all the time, and I do not pay 20 bucks a month but rather 5.99... HAHA
saying its disabled might be some jive from someone that works for t mobile or is some weird corprate loyalist fan boy maybe. cause i have wm6 and the 5.99 trick is still solid

Just what I was thinking.
yeah, it works like a charm for me...and there is nothing that T-Mobile can do for it because I used to work for T-Mobile for about 5 years now...
Thank you it work like a charm
I just receive the "The remote party has ended the Connection". It was working fine yesterday and I've also have the 5.99 plan already. I tried to google but none of the solution seems to help me. I've tried to hard reset, turn off /on phone in com manager. Recheck my proxy settings. Internet explorer connection change to "internet, and WAP network" nothing seems help....
NVM I just flash my rom all over again and now it seems to working like normal. Still if the the remote party has ended the connection come up again what shall i do? is there a fix for it.
Is there another Internet browser that work w/ the proxy settings? I've been using IE but notice its very sluggish and slow. I heard Opera and thunderhawk 2.0 is super fast comparing to IE. I've tried Opera but there was no setting for it to connect to the proxy......
yea i dont think it works with the new ver of the dash(rom)1.22.531.6 cuz i had it working on my previous dash before it got stolen now i cant get it work on this dash my t zones have limited mobile web access and when i try to use IE to access a website it says u dont have access to the site can anyone help me
is there any program like AIM that works for this $5.99 plan?.. I'd really like to sign in.. :-/
Actually it works on WM5, and when you upgrade to WM6, the settings have to be entered just slightly different for everything to work...
Here are the main settings for WM6:
T-mo Data 1
to : Wap
Access:
wap.voicestream.com
T-mo Data 2: Work
Access:
wap.voicestream.com
Proxy 1:
from: wap
to: internet
proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
type: http
Proxy 2:
from: work
to: internet
proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
type: http
Now for your email to work and internet browser, you may have to go into the email app and the Browser to specify the data source..(experiment a little)..but I gurantee this works on WM6 and the $6/mth t-mobile internet.
As you can see there is a proxy server involved so some apps like AIM or WIndows Live might not work. But I know it works for web browsing, pop email, Outlook email (yes even the push email), and most stuff in general.
By the way, if you don't already have the t-zones, it's best to have your sim card in a non-smartphone and nothing with qwerty or blackberry, because technically it is not avilable foe the dash and etc..So having the sim card in like a RAZR and used it a few times, then login to my t-mobile, add the $6/mth internet, will be active in 24 hrs. and use the above settings.
this still works like a charm for me...

Okay...for your safety--I'd suggest that you not bring up this topic ever again. lol ...no, but seriously...lol This is an extremely touchy subject among some users in this forum and it might be in your best interest to just--let it go. So to answer your question...the answer is no.

I do not see why it would be touchy because I mean its not FREE you are still paying for you it you know. I mean if it was free then its stealing, but if you pay for it then its not stealing.

As far as I know, there are no methods of getting internet access without paying at least for the $5.99 T-Zones plan. I have heard (and experienced this once myself) that people haven't had the $19.99 unlim. data plan or the $5.99 T-Zones and still have had internet access. But it was a fluke. It would come and go. Maybe it was a slip-up by the T-Mobile servers or something.

First of all, nobody's 'bs'ing the guy. I told him what I knew and left it at that. The only proxy tweak I knew of is for the $5.99 T-Zones. As far as the tweak to get free internet for nothing--I couldn't help him there. If you had read my post you would've realized that.
C'mooon Everything is this forum is form of stealing .
All ROMs are stealing too... why not Internet? .
Pretty two faces here.
we dont steal roms....we remake them.
I paid for the phone with a ROM.
I remake that rom.
Getting services without paying anything for, that is stealing
Example...your neighbor has internet. He has a wireless connection without a passkey. You tap into that signal.
Is that considered stealing?
I got the 5.99 plan .... I was just asking. is there a way to not have it and still have internet ,... just a simple question! My nokia 6133 is unlocked and it has internet with my uncle Sim Card and he doesn't have the 5.99 plan and i just thought that was weird so i asked you guys...

Hey i just got the 5.99 tzones option added and I believe I have everything set according to that, but the internet nor the email is working.
Those are the settings for WM 6 and WM 6.1. They should work on your Windows Mobile device.

Dude, when you buy a music CD and make 100 copies - you pay for one, but other 100 is simple stealing.
Read License to WM and you will see - any modification is forbidden.
Sharing is forbidden too.
There is no little or big crime - every crime is crime no matter how big or small you think it is.
Moral/legal ****z here is just offtopic .
It's not like this is top secret info anyway, it's posted in several other threads.
I'm currently using WM6.1 that I didn't pay for or remake. I came here and asked questions and nice folks helped me out. Am I a criminal? Let it go, we're all friends here.
Stealing is not paying, we are still paying 5.99 for it so I do not understand how its stealing since your paying for it.
yeah i got it to work

I use Palringo. It works great. You can use Yahoo!, AIM, ICQ, etc. all in ONE program. Visit www.palringo.com.
An even better alternative, IMO:

You don't need Wi-Fi for Palringo.
Palringo is AMAZING ! My Recommendation personally is Palringo, Looks elegant and is worth the install. Oh Yeah, like Syntaxx said, it does not require wi-fi. Works fine with my data plan.
p.s: does anyone have any idea howmuch data IM programs usually take in a day say if u used it for max. an hour? It'd really help.
...and Palringo works with t-mobile's t-zones plan through a proxy setup.
how do i set up a proxy cause i have the data plan and i signed up for palaringo but it just keeps saying reconnect pending

If you have the data plan, you don't need to setup the proxy. Just to clarify--you have the $19.99 Total Internet plan, right?
At-A-Glance : 413.478.0426
Preferred FT 400 NW plan $49.99
Unlimited Domestic Messages $14.99
Equipment Protection $5.99 $5.99
T-Mobile Total Internet Add-on $19.99
Total Due Monthly*
$90.96
thats my plan, i dont get why its not working, did i ever have to mess with the proxy or internet connections when i orignally updated to 6.1? i have no idea why it wont connect

You shouldn't have had to adjust anything. Tell you what-- Go to the T-Mobile Wireless Configurations link in my signature. Follow the directions to setup your MMS and Internet. Then reboot. Let us know how it works afterwards.
thank you so much, works fine now! cant thank ya enough
LOL

I'm having some problems getting the ATT Wifi and Media Mall cabs after flashing to the latest energy rom.
I think this might be solved if someone can post their stock opera:config settings for proxy. That way I could download the cabs from att through opera.
Any ideas?
[Proxy]
Use Proxy On Local Names Check=1
HTTP Server=wireless.cingular.com
HTTPS server=wireless.cingular.com
Use HTTP=1
Use HTTPS=1
Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy=1
Added this to my proxy settings (Opera:config in address bar or \windows\opera\opera.ini)
Was able to go to device.home in my browser and navigate to the MediaMall site and then got the cab from there (search wi-fi).
I'm running the WWE ROM on a Tilt 2;
I was able to set the proxy, and browse the medianet page. I ended up going to the regular att website since searching the mobile medianet page didnt get me anything, and have it send me a sms for the wifi download. When I follow the link on the device, the medianet page complains that I do not have a supported device and won;t let me download it.
Is there some medianet component that has to be installed, or do I need to change opera's user agent string? Or is there another link to the wifi app?
Try navigating to http://device.home and if the mobile friendly medialnet site pops up your proxy settings are good. then find the mobile medianet site and search wifi.

I am getting to the mobile medianet site, but searching either in the medianet search, or the mediamall search, i get "no results for your handset" (searching wifi wi-fi wi fi etc.) , similar to the "your device is not supported" message when I use the direct link to the install.
I'm still thinking i need to change my user agent string currently its this;
HTC_Touch_Pro2_T7373 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
anyone know what the stock tilt2 uses? I didn't think to check before i flashed.
It was the UA. Found the string on the ATT devcentral site;
seems huge, but when I changed the custom string in opera to this the download/mediamall access worked;
HTC-ST7377/1.14.502.12 (50433) Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) UP.Link/6.3.1.20.06.3.1.20.0
Attached the WiFi client cab. It added some pre-configured wireless networks in the wireless setup, not sure what else its doing for authentication.
ATT Wi-fi cab
I installed the ATT wi-fi cab on my Tilt 2 running the stock ROM, but when I try to run the program in doesn't open. The program shows up in the list of installed programs and in Program Files/Wi Fi Client. Tried a soft reset, but still not working. Any help is appreciated.
uh im a noob but what would be the benefits of using/having a opera proxy
and is the mediamall like a appstore from att?
and what does the att wifi cab do

I haven't been able to get the wifi client working. It just instructs me to turn on my wifi in comm manager and gives me the opportunity to search for locations. Unfortunately, I still was hit by the starbucks wifi login page when I tried.

It seems the tilt 2 ships with 2 different proxy settings out of the box. 1 is a hidden proxy setting in the registry, the other is set in your opera settings. This basically instructs the device to view the internet via ATTs system (basic explanation). You need to do this to access Cellular Video/MediaNet, but otherwise it is usually better to circumvent the proxy.
Right, MediaMall is an ATT appstore filled with java based apps.
ATT Wifi cab supposedly lets you use WiFI for free wherever ATT Wifi is offered (Starbucks/McDonalds/airports).
ATT Wifi
I actually was able to use the ATT wifi at the local Starbucks today. I just turned on my wifi and it picked up the ATT network. I noticed that the ATT Wifi client had added some networks to the list, I guess that did the trick.
Does anyone have the att wifi .cab or know where it is located?

Only if you pay ATT for the wifi service. If you use the MediaNet $15/month package I dont think it will work. I think the Wifi and 3G package starts around $39.

I think the exact requirement is the 30 dollar a month data plan and a newer Windows Mobile device. Any Tilt 2 owner theoretically meets this due to the forced data plan requirement.

I pay $10 for family data unlimited which is usually called $15 for MediaNet unlimited but if you have txt plan it is only $10. This is the plans for non-smartphones on ATT.
I would rather save the monthly fee and not use crappy att wifi. This new att wifi is a way to try to lessen the load on 3G network since they suck. A little while ago the ATT wifi was $69 a month with 3G combo. They added the wifi to the standard package for smartphones in an attempt to get people to use the wifi when available but unless you need a lot of bandwidth (torrents) then the 3G should support the user needs without having us manually look and turn on wifi just to help them out.

I flashed the ENERGY ROM and now don't have MediaMall. Does anyone have a cab or thread to download? I'm also missing the BoardGames that came in the bloatware.
Thanks in case and in advance!

Do you have any clue what this hidden proxy in the registry is? How do I set it so I can use the media mall. I've set everything in Opera and can get to the media mall but all I get for anything is a message saying "no results for your handset." I went to the Media Mall on line (desktop) and found what I was looking for but when I tried the download via a text message they sent it tells me my device isn't supported
Anyone have a clue?

Go to Start -> Tools -> Proxy Manager
There are cab files there to enable and disable the hidden proxy.
heres a cab for the proxy manager from the stock at&t - courtesy of at0mAng...
