Hi everyone!
I wanted to know how to configure my HTC S620 Phone with WM 6.5 to use the $9.99 data plan and NOT the Smart Phone Data Plan.
I wont use it to surf the internet, ONLY FOR EMAILS. I feel like I will be paying way too much for the Smart phone data plan.
Can any one confirm that the $9.99 plan works? If so what configurations did you do?
Thanks for reading and hope to find answers!
I would also like to know the answer to this question, as before I switched to a Dash, I had the web service that is listed as T-mobileWeb service. With the 6.5 WM 3vo rom, I have no problem loading the internet. But when I switch to Kavana's rom, I can send and receive text and calls, but have problems with accessing the internet, and it refuses to load. Am I doing something, or are these two roms actually set up to recieve data differently?
Also on a side note, I would prefer to use Kavana's so if anyone can shed some light on what settings I need to change so that my internet begins to function again, I would highly appreciate it, and I believe it would answer both of our questions.
Thanks, and sorry for posting in this manner, but I figured instead of starting a new thread, I'd just add it here while it was posted.
I thought that you had to have had the 9.99 plan......
Didn't T-Mobile get rid of new people getting onto it?
"Tzones Proxy Hack"
on another website they have instructions for it but in your profile i left you a message with the link. i've used this method for a while with no issues but its not my own thought up solution so take it for what its worth.

the new wm6 winwap browser sends you to http://wap.t-zones.com.
last night i tried it and it didn't work. tonight it does and it looks like tzones is back for the dash!
not really exciting but the bigger question is if tmobile is getting ready to restrict tzones customers to the new "tmobile web" only.

That wouldn't coincide with the launch of WM6 for the Dash. Those are separate departments inside of Engineering that have nothing to do with each other.
In any case, have you noticed that the new T-Zones for the Dash allows ringtone downloads? (or has it always done that?).
well that may be but they really can't shut down the proxy without giving the customers the tmobile web they were promised now can they.
They can, and are starting to, enforce service levels. Enjoy the free ride while you can. At most, if you object loud enough, they'll let you out of a service contract. Do you know of something in the TOS that provides a loophole? Got a link to it?

lol. i'm not using the t-mobile web plan since the proxy doesn't work for some of my favorite apps.
I'm just pointing out that tmobile is obviously setting up the "tmobile web" specifically for the 5.99 users and soon that may be all they have.
I have been able to get to wap.t-zones.com on my dash for a few months if i use the proxy. If i don't use the proxy, i get forwarded to the uk site (t-mobile-favourites.co.uk).
Are you able to use Messenger? Exchange Mail? POP3 or IMAP?

Hi All,
Wow, Been a while since i had to post on here for help.
OK, before you all start flaming, Yes i have searched for a few days, inc. google and the WM6 Black forum 4winblack to no avail,
Everyone asking but no one answering and just flaming (hence no one can find the answer when searching and leaving them no choice but having to ask)
ME.
Member on here since 2005 ( so no noob, I always search and find )
have a MDA vario II HERM 300
Running Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.10.OLipro
Radio ver. 1.41.00.10
T-mobile UK W+W
OK the burning question that has me stumped.
and i am cringing cause i dont want you to flame throw me.
Windows Live issue
Unable to establish an internet connection. Can this be fixed and How?
I have re installed WM VI black Live & messenger cab but still same issue.
Messenger Sign in as issue
How do i get to sign in there is no where to sign in
just a blank pick and the option to go online.
Are these issues fixed and are they just relevent to WM6 Black or all packages, am tempted to downgrade or switch roms in hope.
Finally as last resort will posket msn work on WM6
Again sorry for asking but i do truly search, it a shame when you do get new users using such a great forum and they get flamed, Remember if everyone is treated in this way, how can anyone search and find the answer.
I have opened countless posts on the subject only to find the person asking flamed and no answer given. This makes it near inpossible to find the correct answer.
Didn't come on to moan LOL. Have a good un all,
Can't help on your other issues as I don't use Messenger or MSN, but I have no trouble with Windows Live with this rom. Connects with no problems.
You need to reenter your 3G modem settings in your connections so that it knows how to connect to the network. wap.cingular and then your 7 digit phone number is hte password.
Am able to browse web fine and hitting speed of 1200KB sec
used the TMobile UKFixed cab which auto does it all for you, but just keep getting this damn message.
Or am i missing something here...

hmm.. I have seen these issues before in other posts and enouctered some myself. Pimpmyblack has a tab which will allow you to have your gprs/media net on all the time (assuming you have unlimited plan). From my experience there is a bug with live, it doesnt like to establish gprs conn if it is not alread on. I have noticed this with piscel browser too. As much as I hate doing it, my non-hack work around is to open pie and connect to google. this establishes connection w/ gprs. its not ideal, but I have exhaustedly serached for a fix to this too with no avail. hopefully that can hold u over until the geniuses figure somethin out.
Yeah it maybe something with WM6 i think and the way it allows programs to hook up to the internet. For example everytime i use my opera mini i have to first open up explorer to establish an internet connection and then i can start using opera mini. So that maybe what is required for you to do. But i would highly recommend you to just switch over to one of the newer roms that have been cooked. I was on black 3.0.1 and just had to many problems with bluetooth and connections to the internet. So i strongly recommend that buddy.
thanks for the suggestions, glad others have herd of the problem but unable to find fix.
yes. I have tried pimp my black and changed settings to internet always on.
also tried with internet connection open and then trying windows live and messenger but both problems still exist.
shame as accessing my hotmail accounts instantly is a must.
looks like will have to try your suggestion of another ron.
recommendations ?
thanks
Well it looks like This was one good thread. started good and ended good. So lets lock it up if its cool with you guys.
agree, thanks to everyone.
to sum up.
I could not find a fix to the issues I had :-{
I eventually took the advice and changed roms.
now running Custels 2.5 and everything. I mean everything is working fantastic. plus the bonus of office 2007 and live is running great.
I can only suggest black is a little buggy for myself but hey im happy with Custels 2.5
thanks to all again.
try not and leave it another 2 years before I post again lol.
All,
I just used an IMEI service to unlock my two DASH phones. And now i obviously want to maximize the use of my phones. first by getting rid of the T-Mob crap that is on their by default, then setting up my POP email so that I am not limited to the default T-Mob "My-Email" config.
So...
1)What do I gotta do to get rid of the T-Mob crap? Is the IMEI unlocking a full unlock of the phone? Do I need to flash a custom ROM or change some REG KEYS?
2)How do I config my DASH to work with any POP mail account I want? Gonna guess that this will be partially sorted once the first issue is sorted. But surely there is way for me to config email on my DASH so that when connected (WiFi or GPRS) I can send/recieve my mail as if I were on my laptop?
3)Games and Apps. Would like to know the best site for FREE smartphone apps. (I am assuming these are different then Pocket PC apps?) And what would be the top recommended programs to make my DASH more functional?
4)Are there any good English-Spanish translators and Bibles that are available for download.
5)What is the best way to get movies (DVD's) on to my Dash so I can watch them. What format is best
6) Is there a way to get more use and function out of the JOGGR bar? Thought it was to help with scrolling and overall navigation, but it only seems to work for the volume (even though I have changed the setting for device and phone control)
Long list, but any help especially with the T-mob crap and the POP.
Thanks
Anyone??? C'mon some of you got to have answers to some of these issues and questions??

You could try searching this site a bit. i know that the answers to at least 3 of them are fairly easily found here.
also, nothing is stopping you from adding pop accounts, not even the t-mobile app.
Before you go on to post "read the wiki" ,"search the thread noob" etcetc
Ive done that and i found no help for it other than some settings, which i already tried(didnt work) and ive gotten more settings from the fido csr
and ive plugged those in but still no.(tested gprs/edge by starting pocket IE)
no connection.
I've gotten the value pack for fido which includes the Instant messaging portal for msn and yahoo where i can chat and message and check email unlimited... now the only problem is i cant connect to gprs/edge to use it.
question 1. how do i get the dam settings to work?
question 2. am i able to use the messenger included in the rom? or do i need to use the one specifically for fido?
question 3. once the previous 2 are answered..... Am I able to make it where only the associated program uses gprs/edge for data..so that way if i use pocket ie on wifi i can still use watever im using with gprs?
ie: surf the net on wifi, while im chatting msn on gprs?
thats all i got for now,
I'm using a softbank x01ht with black majik rom.
Thanks for any help i receive.
When I first got a windows phone I was so determined to get it set for Fido's services. With my Universal it took me days to figure out what the settings were. I thought I knew everything after that. Turns out that there are a bunch of other factors such as MMS won't work until you've exchanged msg's with another FIDO customer. Also internet doesnt work without a proper plan first, it doesnt work like it used to , which was PAYG. Lastly the settings don't kick in until you reset the phone, and even then I have heard stories from some where it took upto half hour for some settings to kick in. I find it so complicated now that I seem to know where all the free wi-fi hotspots are around my area.
I hope this doesn't discourage you from figuring out ur settings through trial&error.
I encounter none of what you said. I dont use MMS so I am not familiar with ..all others is no big deal.
It takes me 30 seconds for set up and I am ready to go.
ps: I am on a unlimited for years.....
Well I guess it mustve been different with the Universal and your Hermes.
thanks for the feedback still havent figured it out as of yet though i do know theres supposed to be a dial out to *90# or something like that cant check the txt i received from fido right now.
anyways i hope to get it up soon, im gonna try to port over the IM program thats in my friends rogers tytn and see if i can change the settings on that thing for fido.
wish me luck
They toys bahave different

You bet money on it. I have an 8125 and also an 8525, both have exactly the same UI to set the connections up, however with exactly the same settings I´m able to surf the WEB, get GMail, all MSN Live services,etc only with my Wizard because with the Hermes I´m able to open just a very few wap sites. I´ve had this problem since day one with my Hermes and looking for a solution in this site and in many others I´ve found that I´m not the only lucky person with a $400 toy that performs worst than the cheapest Nokia, there´s a lot of people with same problem and nobody knows why this happens. (See my signature)
For those who've got it working, could you please share HOW? It would be much appreciated.
I just recently upgraded my Dash to WM 6.1. Now, I need to reinstall an app to use IM WITHOUT a data plan or web connection of any kind. I have unlimited messaging on my plan and I've always enjoyed the ability to chat without a connection. Something that works just like the original app is what i want. Suggestions? Non-java preferably.
Problem Solved
Ok, after searching FOREVER to find the right version for my Dash, I found it. IT's OZ. Here's the link for anyone else with a Dash or similar.
