Hi Cheryl, XDA-IIi (Alpine) is an O2 device and the default setting for everything would be on O2 network, if you are using T-Mobile on that then you need to create the settings of GPRS & Wap from T-mobile, I have attached the CAB file for UK-T-mobile just put in your device and run, but try to delete the previous connection settings of O2 if you haven't got any plans to use them in the future.
By the way have you solved your TomTom hanging/stucking problem yet?

Just put anywhere on the device and click to run, once it finish installing it will dissappear itself.

Sorry Sid,
Maybe im too thick to own one of these, its attack of the blonde i think.
I sent the file to my XDA and put it in My Documents, i then came to open it and got the following
"The file \My Documents\UK_T-Mobile.CAB is not a valid windows CE Setup file"
Any ideas
Sorry to be a pain

This is how I setup my US t-mobile GPRS connection on my device.

- Start Menu/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections icon.
- Select Add a new modem connection.
- Enter the name (e.g tmobile)
- Select "cellular Line (GPRS) as modem
- Click on next and enter "wap.voicestream.com" for access point name.
- Click on next and leave username/password/domain blank.
- Click on finish. (The advanced setting should be set to user server-assign IP and DNS.

Good lucks.

Ok try these settings step by step, please dont be hurry, be calm and try them. Let me know (by-the-way have a look on my XDA-IIi)
