You could try running a server socket on the phone. The server would connect to the phone's port when it has something to send down and then tear it down. If TCP is too heavy handed for this, you could try using UDP (DatagramSocket)
If T-Mobile has a NAT like router/firewall between the phone and the server, the server will not be able to reach the phone directly. Any body know if this is the case with T-Mobile?
