Need help setting GPRS up with T-Mobile NL and XDA2

Here's the deal, I have a T-Mobile prepaid sim and I've already checked the (dutch) t-mobile website. It states that GPRS should work fine with a prepaid card ad you do not need to buy another card. However, no matter what I do, I can't request the GPRS settings or get what i do get working fine..
Help would be greatly appreciated
tons of people ask the same questions in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=11
as far as i know it all comes down to knowing the access point of ones phonecompany and possibly a signon name and pass (it's rare that it's used though)
if you dont see anybody asking the same question as you,
just try the next page or do a search excluded to that forum
containing something like "tmobile grps"
thnx for the reply, but I guess you didn't figure that I'm one of those people that can handle a search button.. Alas I didn't find anything that could be of any help though...
I did in the mean time develop a second problem, the XDA2 now reads the card a lot slower than before..
Is there a possibility that the card is malfunctioning? It's not the XDA, I've checked it with a Orange sim-card and it worked fine...
odd how is it slow ?
the sim contacts ?
login ?
personaly when i had to get grps working i phones my cellphone company and they said it would be on within 45mins (that it really took 3 days is beside the question )
then i went into connections and made a connection which i gave the name grps (but you can call it what ever you like)
then i choose cellphone (gprs) as connection
then i typed in the access point which i my case were just "internet"
then i opened IE then it pop'd up with a login name and password then i dident type anything and press'd ok then i were online
this is the default manual way of doing it
of cause i cant say if some phone companys do it different and
i know nothing of tmobil they are not even present as a company in this country, so sorry if i cant be of more help when it comes to the strange ways of tmobile
It takes a really lopng time with my sim to get a connection to the network, the coverage is good (checked it with my phone and another pda with t-mobile as well) and basically untill that time i can't load the sim-manager or anything.. nothing too bad, I just have to wait 5 minutes before the sim is loaded
cant you just destroy the sim and call for another and hopefully newer type which dont give issues ?
Well, for some weird reason my sim seems to be working fine again, still leaves the issue of trying to get GPRS working with pre-paid tho...

Trying to get my Softbank X01HT to work with Vodafone Australia-MMS & Internet

Hello all,
I have recently upgraded my Windows Mobile device to a Softbank X01HT which is the equivalent of a Dopod 838 Pro i think. Anyway ringing up my service provider which is Vodafone Australia is like trying to extract teeth !
This is my problem....
All i want to do is to be able to surf the web when im not within a Wifi Zone and be able to receive MMS messages. Simple !
I have made 3 calls to Vodafone Australia and they have walked me through several steps but im still yet to get these two features to work.
Can anyone help?
ok ive managed to get MMS working but still not able to use the internet, i.e. dialup and access websites when im not within wifi range.
c'mon aussie members. doesnt anyone know how to do this ?

Virgin Mobile AU

Hello all, I'm new to this forum however I have searched to see if someone else has asked this question but have been unable to find anything. I recently took ownership of my own Jasjam, I love my phone to bits but there are some operator settings I am unable to find ANYWHERE... and yes, I am 100% aware that Virgin runs off the optus network however they have their own MMS and internet settings. I have tried the optus ones and I know from past experience they do not work (they didn't work on my Sony Ericsson phone, they do not work on my Jasjam)
I'd dearly love to get the MMS settings as well as information on how to set them up in my phone.. if anyone can please help I'd be forever greatful ^_^
Try this :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35744&d=1174493014
If this is no good call virgin and see if they can direct what to do - use another phone. Sometimes they can send the settings in an sms that automatically updates the phone when you open... Hope this helps...
Would also Hard SPL phone too, for when the flashing bug bites....

Welcome and I'd suggest doing some reading, both on the wiki and on posts... At least some will be entertaining reading to say the least....

Blackberry Connect on X1?

Anyone that has any success on installing BB on X1? I tried version 103 and 104 but the result is the same i.e it installs doing the rebooting but it can’t register it on my network so no PIN and there for I cant do enterprise activation. Any suggestions, please. BTW Spoke to SE today and there is an upgrade coming before December (what a surplice )
i also tried everthing, still no chance (pin pending).
anyone succeeded?
Me too, I tried the version used for my previous HTC Touch Pro but it was unable to get registered and no pin generated.
I also need this software badly.
couldn't get it working on my phone. it would connect to the blackberry apn for one second but then disconnect.
to all hackers out there. please make blackberry connect working on X1. THANK YOU!!!
Really kind of sad as there are no BB Connect for X1 after so long and I need it to check my emails on the go.
any good news until now?
Hello Guys!
Yesterday I had the bb service (o2 Germany) activate at my contract. In the most post I read, that the main problem of pending PIN is. After I goten the activation sms I install "BB Connect 4.106". And what I see was very.....what can I say......exciting. I get a PIN!! But now, I have the problem that i cant login in on the blackberry site from o2.
I hope that anyone can use this information to bring full bb service to xperia!!!!!!
with best reguards

o2 Germany Stealing my Money???

Hi guys ... got a question ...
I m in Germany at the moment visiting some friends and for that purpose I got my old German o2 pay as you go sim-card out to use for the time that I m here. I m normally on vodafone contract in the Uk.
What happened is, I put the sim card in, working fine - just like it did in the Xperia last Xmas when I was here - however, then I topped up my phone (15 Euro), I sent 2 text messages and made one phone call (2 minutes) and the next morning when I woke up, I had a text message saying that my credit is down to Zero.
So I called o2 to ask them what happend but because this is a sim card that I got from a friend, and which has gone through I dont know how many hands, I couldnt answer their security questions. So they refused to give me any information.
What I did then is, I went online and registered my phone number on the o2 website - this way I get access to my pay as u go bill with a complete breakdown of all charges. However, the charges that took the money from my account are not listed there. Or to be more precise, they are listed there but it doesnt say what they money was taken for.
So for example it will say: 35 minutes - 9.71 Euro - but the two fields that are suppossed to tell you what the charge was for are blank.
So I m not sure what to do now. As I said I didnt have this problem with the Xperia last christmas when I was here. Moreover, although I think that it is impossible for the Xperia to use any internet services as it is pre-configured to vodafone UK, I nevertheless disabled all the data connections in the comm manager including microsoft direct push.
Is there any way that the phone could have connected to the internet using sim card settings or something? I checked under my connections and I ve configrued it to use "My ISP" whenever it wants to connect the internet. This is correct isnt it?
Any ideas what this could be? Since I m not gonna get information from o2 I was hoping somebody on here may be able to help me
Thanks for the time guys

All i could suggest is installing and "nodata" cab so the xperia cant use and date - search for it in the forum - that seems like the sort of thing it could be - i dont think u can steal from an account or anything though but if it isnt listing the other stuff you are using it could be a problem with o2? i guess u need to ring them too to see whts going on and ask ur friend foir the security info
after carefully monitoring the phone it does seem to be the contract internet that causes the charges which - despite data connections being off - seems to connect somehow anyway.
Now two questions:
1: How can it connect to the internet without the right sim card being in there? The phone is pre-configured to Vodafone UK settings so how can it use contract internet on o2 Germany?
2: There is no way I can be charged for anything in the UK if I havent been using my sim card right? This may seem like a silly question but I dont know I m just worried now that there is some crazy way through which o2 can log in using my vodafone settings and that I m being charged at both ends for the connection (nightmare).
reason I m worried about the latter is that when I click on the connection symbol (the H) at the top of mym screen it says: connected contract internet and it shows u the time it has been connected for - then I have to disable this manually by clicking on cancel - however, I havent had credit on my phone for 2 days now (since I made this post) so how can it be connected to anything? I m really confused
What do u think?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install no data! clearly it has connected to the German O2 Data Connection! It must have auto configured it or something - install no data and see if that helps
