Weird Fuze data problem - anyone else using iPhone data plan on the Fuze?

---

I am on AT&T, and recently had to switch my smartphone data plan to an iPhone data plan (long story short, they made me when I got a new iPhone, even though with my old iPhone the smartphone plan worked fine).

In theory, I thought that should still work with the Fuze, as it seems there are other people doing that, but after switching, I noticed weird data behavior. The Fuze can still access the internet through some programs, like e-mail, the weather program, and Facebook. It also continues to tether just fine with Bluetooth and USB. But I can't access web pages on either PIE or Opera. I get a 403 Forbidden error no matter what page I try to get to.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a workaround for it? It seems like there has to be a fix, since I am still able to get data. Someone on another forum mentioned making sure there is no proxy, but I don't have any proxies listed that I can find.

I'm open to any suggestions! Thanks guys!

i have the same iphone plan and the fuze does this to me when it has been conected for over 24hours i reset my conection and it works fine for the next 24 hours

I'm using my fuze with my iPhone 3g sim and the only issue I have is the text messages I get when i get a voice mail (I assume that's for visual voicemail).

Have you tried hard resetting or trying another rom?

Well, it's weird. After changing the settings around, switching back and forth from wap.cingular to isp.cingular (because I read the iPhone data plan uses isp.cingular), it's working now, just with the exact same settings I started with. Maybe it reset the settings when I was switching other things around? At any rate, it's working, for whatever reason.

I just ran into a similair problem on my g1 with an iPhone plan. It seems AT&T has changed some settings around as of late. Since the 3.0 update the iPhone seems to try to use the apn "phone" instead of wap.cingular. This is probly from the tethering hacks that use wap.cingular, which if you are using now make it complain of an authentication error. Switching to the apn phone solved my problem on my iPhone & g1

Works ok for me..with a few exceptions

I just put my iphone SIM in my Fuze today..
Phone works fine, email works fine.

I get the funky text messages with Voicemails..would be a real irritant if I got a ton of voicemails.

Opera does not work at all. IE works sporadically and Iris works just fine. This actually gave me the opportunity to make Iris my default browser..

Overall..pretty good..and way better than paying ATT for 2 data plans!

I don't know - there's no reason it shouldn't work perfectly in the Fuze. Data is data. You shouldn't have to pay for two data plans to use two different phones, since you're not using them at the same time.

See a couple of posts back - I got mine to work after fooling around with the settings for a bit. Voicemail will still be messed up, because the iPhone is set up differently with Visual Voicemail, but data should work.

I am guessing that it has something to do with medianet, as the iphone doesn't have medianet. I'll do some more playing, but at least for now I know that I can use both. The iphone wil go back (within my 30 days if I can't easily switch). I can live with no medianet.

I'm just saying that everything should work, Opera and so on. But if you're returning the iPhone anyway, just have them switch your plan to the PDA data plan, and it shouldn't be an issue.
