Can anyone help with access point settings using T-Mobile? I've gone to their website but cannot find anything. Thanks for any help.

Linda,

Do you not have a T-Zones APN? If so, use this when NetFront asks to select an access point.

It's over the WAP gateway, but I've found no difference in connection speed over internet gateway.

If you want to manually set up an APN, here's the setup for the 3650:

  1. Go to Tools | Settings | Connection | Access points.

  2. Select Options | New access point | Use default settings.

  3. Use these settings:

    • Connection name = "input unique name (e.g. Internet)"

    • Gateway IP address = 216.155.175.170

    • Leave other settings at default value & select "Back".



  4. Go to GPRS.  Settings:

    • GPRS connection = "When needed"

    • Access point = internet2.voicestream.com




Internet2 is not always up. You can use wap.voicestream.com. It seems to be more stable.

Make sure that you've signed up for a data plan before using. If not, you'll be charged per kilobyte. This includes both upload and download. Your next statement will include some very steep charges!!

Hope this helps.

Thank you, so much! By data plan, do you mean T-Zones? I subscribe to T-Zones Pro.

Yes, sounds like you're set. Let me know if you have any problems with settings. T-Mobile has changed some of their APN's.
