web n walk and web n walk pro

---

me again

i was reading at modaco ( http://www.modaco.com/Vario-II-OUT-N...3-t244456.html ) that to get HSDPA you need to have WnW PRO :S i got confused now.

is it correct?

i hvent been told that.

HSDPA is a software upgrade to the existing 3G network from t-mobile. It does not require activation by customer services, it does not cost any extra to use and is not available only to web and walk pro users.

From what I read on the t-mobile site, there are no differences between the 2 types of the service...

web'n'walk is an extra to your Flext, U-Fix, Relax or payg tarrifs.

Web'n'walk PRO is the same service, but comes with a HSDPA laptop card and could be called a data only contract. The sim card will let you make calls etc, but has no calltime or sms allowances. I beleive its market is business users on the move.


I myself have a HTC TYTN using my flext 25 + web'n'walk sim card. I have tried it in my local 3G area and HSDPA speeds were available. I did not have to activate anything and it works a treat.

T-Mobile confirmed to me earlier that HSDPA is available to anyone who has a compatible handset, users of the Laptop card and upcoming Vario II will be able to use it fully. You can also receive HSDPA without web'n'walk, it is afterall only a software upgrade to 3G, so if you can receive the 3G UMTS signal you can use HSDPA.

are you sure about that thats not what i've heard and its not whast going around on alot of the forums...

I got myself a t-mobile payg sim the other day and they told me in the store that I wouldn't get the hsdpa. I do! Good deal I think for £1 per day.

Everything I said was told to me by a t-mobile customer service agent last night when I tried to activate HSDPA

My standard web'n'walk service seems to get HSDPA without any problems.

The best action would be to call t-mobile and find out if your account will have it or not.

yep, adam_beasley is right. HSDPA is just 3G network upgrade, available to anyone having HSDPA compatibile handsets.
