it shows you how to access wap sites from alternate gateways, and it also tells you that you can still tether your laptop/carputer to your phone for internet access 
Seems to be, I changed the WAP to the IP address suggested & I still get a T-Mobile page saying I have to pay $5 a month. Ah well

so is there anyway to get this set up with the pay as you go plan anymore? I'd pay the $5 bucks a month happily, but their cheapest plans are a bit more than I am willing to pay right now.

wireless world 56k modem !
i checked into it, just not sure if teirs enough use to make it reasonable... If you have T-mobile its 19.99/mth by it self 29.99/mth. what you get 24hrs a day unlimited 56K wireless modem that uses the t-mobile network, no raoming either.
you must get the pcmcia pc card unit for this (ebay 99.00), t-mobile (300.00).
I have a friend with t-mobile, thinking about giving him 240.00 up front (close friend) and let him sign up for it for me... (most people wont do a 1 yr contract for others, but if i pay for year up front i dont see why not.)
so far it seems like a good plan, but i need more uses then email, web searching to do this... I have nextel now with unlimited web, 19k though, but good enough for email.

I found some other information while speaking to tech support the other day -
T-mobile offers 2 types of access - Internet 1 and Internet 2.
Internet one is the Basic plan, and prvides only a NAT'ed Internal IP.
Internet two Is the extended service and offers a publically routable IP - Will support VPN connectivity.
I also have some other dialing codes that work better for some phones.
I use (and pay) for the Internet 2 option, and use it quite frequently in my car. I have a Sony Ericsson t610 connected through bluetooth to my car pc.

Seems like the party is in fact NOT over! Just tried it on my laptop and it works great! I guess it only doesn't work when using tzones directly from your phone. I thought all hope was lost, but I guess its working for now at least.

i guess i found out why the mobile internet doesn't work... this phone doesn't support it.... now to find another one, my GF has been eyeing this 3595 anyway i guess she now has a new phone.
Apparently the number for a cable connected phone for GPRS is *99#

Has anyone in australia done this yet? I would probably look into it, as I have a 6610 (no bluetooth but it does have IR) but untill I have heard someone else has successfully done it I prob wont rush out and waste time on it:P

i finally got this GPRS to work and damn i love it i ended up getting a cheap motorola V66 and a data cable for $20 and it works like a charm, in fact i'm on it right now, the speed is tolerable especially for being connected just about anywhere. Finally T-mobile is worth it!

Called T-Mobile, said WAP is still free, but "limited",
R U using WAP or T-Zones?

Ok, I'm confused. Are you people using the t-zones at $5.00 a month?
or are you using the "free" WAP.
I've got the SonyEricson T610, how do I get my carputer online?

just wondering if any one has figured out if this still works with the pay as you go plans or if you have to have a normal contract with them to get this to work now
