Posted this earlier as a reply but figured I'd post my own topic. Easier to find...
After weeks of searching different forums and conflicting info, these are the settings that finally worked for me. Mind you I use the $4.99/month T-Zones plan but can acess regular HTTP pages just fine now...
Connects to: The Internet
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
User Name:
Password:
Primary/Secondary DNS: Leave Blank (contrary to most forums i've read)
IP Address: Leave Blank
Proxy Settings
This network connects to the internet: Check Box
This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet: Check Box
Click "Advanced"
HTTP - 216.155.165.50 - Port 8080 (do not keep as just 80)
WAP - 216.155.165.50 - Port: 9201
Secure - 216.155.165.50 - Port: 9201 (yes, 9201...Do Not change to 9203 unless you see issues with certain pages)
And for those who require AIM: download it from the Brazilian site. Its free and the messenger itself is all english. Be warned- using other than the AIM built-in to T-Zones will subtract from your message plan as if they were regular text messages. This is Per Message- not session.
Also- these are my working settings for AIM...
Host: login.oscar.aol.com (typical settings)
Port: 25 (the default is 5190 but T-Mobile blocks this port)
MSN Messenger users need to be on a non WAP-only plan ($19.99 Unlimited Internet). Messenger will not get through the WAP proxy settings.
I've also set up my POP accounts and it sends/receives via GPRS just fine.
Hope this works for others or at least helps you in making progress.
