Using T-Mobile USA GPRS with XDA Exec

[b3n_asian_freak]

Hello everyone, i'm newbie here. I just bought a xda exec and i want to sign up for T-Mobile Total Internet in USA for GPRS service. I wonder if anybody has done it and how was it? How fast is it because as I contacted their customer service, they said they don't know anything about xda exec settings.
Thanks advanced for any reply.

Simple..

1) Make sure its unlocked

2) Get SIM card from T-mobile and insert

3) For intetnet go to Settings and then Connections

4) Under "My ISP" click "Add a new modem connection"

5) Name connection T-mobile

6) In the type of connection detail use "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)"

7) Access point will be - wap.voicestream.com

8) Click next, then click finish. Do not need the set any advanced settings or Passwords or login.

Just posted this on my MDA PRO with the newest DOPOD ROM

Connections are good, but othside the metro areas I havent had much luck WiFi works great.

7) Access point will be - wap.voicestream.com

----> T-Mobile offers 2 different data plans: if you go with the cheap one, named T-Mobile Web, you get access to the wap sites only, and you will be using the wap.voicestream.com access point.
If you go with the second plan (a lot more expensive) named Total Internet, you will hit the internet, and you will use the access point internet2.voicestream.com

Most people can hit most of the www by simply subscribing to the T-Mobile Web (the wap plan) and then configure the following proxy in the connection settings:
HTTP proxy: getmorespeed.voicestream.com port 8080.

I tried the settings as you describe but my browser (IE) still returns an error stating that the page could not be located. I've been playing around with my Exec for 2 days now since it arrived and have yet to get this to work. Thanks in advance because I know you guys have alot of experience.

Thanks for all the information, my exeec is still on his way so I haven't really tried anything out yet. But one more question if someone could help, will I be able to access to free email services such as hotmail, yahoo mail? because my understanding is if you use the cheap plan one, you can browsing the websites but not be able to send/receive emails. Thanks,

I use this already just use wap.voicestream.com. It doesn't matter the diffrences are one you have a public address and the other you have a private address. Everything works through wap.voicestream.com. Don't put the proxy settings in just the gprs
