using t-mobile

Have you checked the security settings of the applications...this often happens when the settings for the applications are not set to "allow"...the program will just sit there and stall...to check you can go to Options>advanced Options>Applications....Highlight the app press your menu key and choose "edit permissions" ensure they are all set to "allow".

[John Clark]

Do what Bla1ze suggests. Also, if you haven't already, you need to set the apn. Go to Options >Advanced Options >TCP and enter the following:

apn: wap.voicestream.com
username
password

leave username and password blank.

i did all opf that and checked the pwemissions and it still doesn't work.

I dont know

[John Clark]

You have the $19.99 blackberry data plan add-on?

[boxsetz]

yeah it sounds like its just a normal plan.... but the BB's use special plans.

A few weeks ago there was a guy having the same issue to an extent and he didnt have the BB plan.

[Untold]

I subscribed to th $5.99 data plan through t-mobile

did i get the wrong one?

if so where do i get the new one?

[John Clark]

5.99 plan won't do it.

You need the Blackberry unlimited data (BIS) add-on. Call TMobile and have them remove the 5.99 plan and add the Blackberry Add-on for Personal email/data.

i got it and i seem to have recieved like Instant messages from old contacts but internet seems to not quite work...


hmm

EDIT: Yeah opera failed to connect to the internet...omfg

[John Clark]

Do you have a browser? Go to Options >Advanced Options >Host Routing Table. Hit menu key and select Register Now.

Also, it could take up to 24 hours for the data plan to completely activate.

[Untold]

just did that , it said you are now registered with the t-mobile network

still no internet

[John Clark]

Do you have a browser besides Tzones?

[Untold]

i have opera mini 3

[John Clark]

What OS version on the 8310? You need a standard BB Browser, too.

[John Clark]

It is possible that you won't get an Internet Browser from TMo on the 8310. There's been issues with unlocked devices on other carriers and receiving the proper browser service books.

But with the proper apn settings Opera should work fine.

[SLVR6]

Now that you have the BIS account setup log in to T-mobiles BIS site and resend all the service books. That may cure a lot of things.

[Untold]

how do you do that?

[John Clark]

Go to TMobile, register, sign in and then go to "Setup Internet email."

[Untold]

i dont see it anywhere...

i also just downloaded a firmware update 4.2.2.146

[John Clark]

As I posted above, the data plan may not have fully activated yet. On the TMobile website change your device to the blackberry. You should end up with a place to setup internet email on the TMobile site.

[Untold]

activated my e-mail address but still no internet, maybe its the firmware?...like i said i downloaded a new version how do i get it on the phone?


BTW: IT always says its unable to open a PDP context to the following APN:

wap.voicestream.com

[John Clark]

4.2.2.146 sounds like an old firmware version. The 8310 came from AT&T with 4.2.2.170. 4.2.2.184 is the latest that's out there.

[John Clark]

Try this:

4.2.2.184

You have to have the $19.99 Plan for the BB.

I had the $5.99 plan for my razor and it accessed the internet fine, but it will not work for the BB.
