Tmobile T zones settings

[omaralt]

hey guys, i'm thinking i'm gonna add the tzones (5.99) plan on my phone. from what i understand, i can play around with the settings and be able to access most websites. i have two questions:

1- can somebody please explain to me in a easy to understand manner how to change these settings?

2- would i be able to use msn messenger, aol IM, and google maps with this plan?

thanks guys

i dont have the settings anymore, but they're in the wiki. with me it was shoot or miss if it was going to work. then one day it just stopped working, tried resetting everything, nothing. it works by setting up a proxy so if the app can't use proxies than it won't work. google maps, dash weather, etc. didn't work for me.

it's been a while since I used it, so it might have cahnged.

From what I've seen, the 5.99 web package (or whatever) works with most websites. I have yet to come across anything that I cannot access...

With T-Zones, there's really only one thing you can be sure of: It will give you access to the limited T-Zones service available via the WAP browser that pops up when you press the T-Zones button on your keypad.

Used to be pretty much anyone could plug in some proxy settings on a WM device and get full internet access, Messenger, Exchange, POP3, IE, all of it. Over the past year or so, T-Mobile has been modifying their systems to enforce the T-Zones level of service for those who have it.

You'll find many users claim to still have full internet access using some proxy settings -- they're lucky, though I suspect their access isn't all that 'full'.

You should search the forum, it's all been explained a zillion times over -- don't think you'll find it re-explained here.

UPDATE:

hey, i added the 5.99 tzones plan, and then once it started working, went to http://www.htcwiki.com/page/The+Dash+FAQ and did the settings that was mentioned on the website and....

everything works!! all websites, google maps, etc! the only exception is msn pocket, however, if i go to www.hotmail.com and sign in that way, it works! hopefully this continues to work, and thanks to everybody for your help!

Yea, you should be able to get to any page, and you don't have to use the T-Zones wap browser to do so. I currently use Pocket Internet Explorer, Deepfish, Opera 8.65 for Windows Mobile (Beta). I have not run into a page I can't use. I even do my online banking with Wachovia on my Dash, it works!!!! The T-Zone plan using the proxy settings WILL let you do what you need on your Dash, trust me.
