blackjack on tmobile

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

yesterday was pretty slow around work so I spent the whole day playing with this old blackjack of Ann’s and making it work on tmobile.

first I called cingular and got the unlock code (I did this a few days ago actually) and walked through those instructions .. so that unlocked the phone

then I found that it had an upgrade to WM6.. so that’s awesome.

Then I had to get Internet set up.. after much confusion, the right link is here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=576307

The key.. for the $5.99 plan you only want 1 connection to GPRS.. goes to The Internet and uses the APN wap.voicestream.com .  Then the proxy connects from The Internet to the WAP Network and uses 216.155.165.50:8080 and the type is HTTP (not WAP).  Internet explorer settings are uncheck automatically detect settings and you are connecting to a WAP Network.. that way, see, it uses the proxy… if you have a WAP Network connection it’ll use THAT and bypass the proxy, which won’t load pages.

then MMS settings:

Profile Name: PictureMessaging
MMSC URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Proxy: Checked
Address: 216.155.165.50
Port: Works using either 8080 or 9201 for me. 8080 is from the T-Mobile web page

So that’s that… it works.  I might commandeer one for myself :)
