The following is some info passed on by a freind at T-Mobile: Start ---
Just a reminder, this was sent out a few days ago: �Please be aware of some network changes that T-Mobile is making. We are going to be added rules to the firewall that will prevent customer that have any of our T-Zones SOCs from putting there SIM in a PDA or Data Card and having full access to the internet. You might start to get some calls about this in the coming days.� This will affect the IPAQ, TREO, unsupported PDA�s and any other device which requires full access to the internet. It will also prevent customers from going to HTML pages unless they decide to get the internet SOC. Some web pages may appear to work but this is due to the website itself providing a WAP page instead of an HTML page when it detects their device/browser. Please be sure that the customer is not going to HTML pages prior to logging a trouble ticket. This SHOULD NOT affect Blackberry�s (Only the 7100T can browse HTML sites, the rest are WAP only), Sidekicks, or phones which only use T-Zones and WAP pages. Customers using the WAP APN on HP iPAQ WILL NOT be affected by these changes as long as they have a T-Mobile Internet Rate Plan or SOC. The firewall changes only affect customers who are accessing HTTP and who ONLY have a t-zones level SOC. These customers were not meant to access HTTP and therefore, the changes will block them from doing so. So, in a nutshell, if you want to browse the internet on a PDA or Data Card, you will need a T-Mobile Internet SOC or Rate Plan, regardless of which APN you are using. WAP APN IS, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE, THE CORRECT SETTING FOR HP IPAQ. Who WILL these Firewall changes affect??? Customers who have a t-zones SOC (ex $4.99 or $9.99 t-zones) and attempt to access HTTP on a PDA, Data Card, or some 3rd party handsets that have HTTP browsers EXAMPLE: Customer has t-zones $4.99 and accesses WAP on his handset, but also takes that SIM and uses it to access the Internet on his Sierra Aircard. After the Firewall rules, the customer can still access WAP on his handset, but will need to change to A T-Mobile Internet SOC for him to access the Internet on his Sierra Aircard.
