Wifi with T-Mobile Pearl and At&t carrier
- I have an unlocked T-Mobile Pearl that I'm using on At&t wireless. I am trying to use the Wifi feature on a Netgear WGR614v6 router, but I get the message T-Mobile network error W006.7. Even when I remove all security on the router I get this message.
Any one know for sure if I can use the Wifi feature with a T-Mobile phone on At&t network? If so, what can I try?11-19-08 12:15 AMLike 0 - On the Pearl, and any other UMA device I am 99.999% sure it authorizes your SIM to the T-Mobile network as it is trying to connect to them to make phone calls. You are using an AT&T SIM it can't authorize. My SGH-T409 does the same thing even though its unlocked unless i put in my Active T-Mobile SIM
P.S. UMA is T-mobiles answer to a Femtocell which allows you full access including data and voice on a WiFi network. Where a femtocell requires a hardware purchase plus the phone, T-mobiles only requires only a UMA capable phone.11-30-08 11:40 AMLike 0 - Reed McLayRetired ModeratorI checked the Netgear specs to confirm it does support 802.11g as required by BlackBerry.

There is no issue with using a non supporting carrier SIM card on an unlocked BlackBerry. You should be able to connect to your router and Browse over Wifi. However, you will not get UMA support.
The simplest way to troubleshoot the connection is to reset the router to factory defaults. You should be able to make the Open connection.
Once you are connected, it is usually simple to impliment the security settings.12-05-08 11:32 AMLike 0 - Sorry, dude. UMA calling requires a UMA capable phone (which you have) and a UMA capable carrier (which you don't have). T-Mobile is the only U.S. carrier that has the UMA infrastructure to switch calls between GSM and Wi-Fi.12-26-08 03:40 PMLike 0
