Unlimited internet with the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service

The $29.99/month T-Mobile Total Internet package is not required to have unlimited internet access on the Dash, instead the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service is all you need. Note the following limitations to the T-MobileWeb internet service:

1. The internet applications on your device will need to have an option to specify a connection to a proxy server, if it doesn't have this option then the application most likely will not be able to access the internet.

2. The following applications will not work over T-MobileWeb: MSN Messenger, Agile Messenger (without the proxy option), some streaming media, Hotmail, Pocket MSN, and Java applications.

To setup the internet connection over T-MobileWeb follow these instructions:

1. Add the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service to your current voice plan (it may take up to 72 hours to activate, but typically takes less than 24 hours).

2. Follow the below instructions to setup the Dash:

1. Add the T-MobileWeb (T-Zones) Proxy Connection

Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Proxy -> Menu -> Add

Description: T-Zones Proxy

Connects from: Wap Network

Connects to: The Internet

Proxy (name : port): 216.155.165.50:8080

Type: HTTP

User name: <blank>

Password: <blank>

Press Done.

2. Configure the Existing Data Connection

Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> GPRS -> T-Mobile Data -> Menu -> Edit

Connects to: WAP Network

Access point: wap.voicestream.com

User name: <blank>

Password: <blank>

Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Press Done.

3. Configure Pocket Internet Explorer

Start Menu -> Internet Explorer -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Connections

Uncheck "Automatically detect settings".

Select Network: The Internet (Must be set to "The Internet" to work over WiFi. Try "WAP Network" if you're having trouble over the EDGE/GPRS connection)

Press Done.

4. Configure Messaging (follow these steps for POP or IMAP email accounts that have been manually setup)

Start Menu -> Messaging -> Highlight your email account -> Menu -> Settings -> Press Next twice

Select Network: WAP Network

Press Next three times then Finish.

The following applies to email on WM6:

In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data: Tmobile Data

Connects to: Wap Network

Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

AND add another GPRS option:

T-Mobile Data2

Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

Then create TWO Proxies:
