CABs for T-mobile U.S. GPRS and MMS settings

[joemanb]

I put together these cabs for T-mobile data plans. I have the $5.99 plan so I haven't tested the other ones, but people have told me they work.

the $5.99 cab automatically sets up the proxy.

All the cabs set up connections so that GPRS is not used unless no other connections (WIFI or Activesync) are available.

MMS (for ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 but it probably works for other versions) sets size limit to 600k and will not resize pictures (I think T-mobile limits MMS data to 300k).

Cool, members are always looking for tmob setup cab's!

So, gprs internet2.voicestream.com is part of the 29.99 plan cab?

[joemanb]

Yes:
29.99 = internet2.voicestream.com
39.99 = internet3.voicestream.com

I think they must've changed prices...

Which one do I use if I have the unlimited data for $20/month?
Thanks

I'm now on that $20 plan and have been using the internet2 connection...

This was the ONLY way I could get the 5.99 t-zones plan to work on my windows mobile 6.1 tilt. Great work man!

Well, it half works. Before using your CAB, I couldn't get Opera Mobile 8.65 to connect at all through the proxy on my HTC Touch Cruise. Now, I can make normal connections in Opera through the proxy, but still can't get HTTPS to connect. No problems connecting with wifi.

UPDATE 10/29/07: I had occasion to revisit these cabs when my friendly neighborhood IT group screwed up my network connections with some automated script they forced down my phone. After running tmobyjoe599.cab again, things were all fixed. I also had no problems with HTTPS and Opera.

I think t-mobile blocks the port on the $5.99 plan. HTTPS uses port 443. You could try some different ports and if you find one that works, let me know and I'll update the CAB.

The settings for Tmo's proxy are:

HTTP 216.155.165.50:8080
WAP 216.155.165.50:9201
Secure WAP 216.155.165.50:9203
Socks 216.155.165.50:1080

216.155.165.50:1080

and this is what my system shows. The Tmo proxy is unauthenticated, so I tried to test against it using my laptop and wifi. Manually setting the FF3 HTTP proxy to 216.155.165.50:8080, and leaving all the other proxy options blank, I had no trouble bringing up HTTPS pages.

maybe it has something to do with the access point (wap.voicestream.com)
