The feature you are talking about is called GPRS Auto attach. In the past it had been enabled (at least on Motorola phones), but T-MO has turned this off (Not sure why).
It is a setting in the Flex on Motorola phones. On some phones (Motorola phones) you might see a [G] and / or "GPRS" when GPRS is available and the phone auto attaches. Some Motorola phone (depending on the revision of the flex) will auto attach, but not show any indication (again the symbols, and text "GPRS" is an option that can be blocked from showing. On Newer Motorola phones you will see three squares overlaying one another with the top and bottom shaded in (I believe this Icon near the signal strength bars can be blocked out also). -----Original Message----- From: Wallach, Levi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 3:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [T-Mobile-US] Turning GPRS Always on. Hmmm, it sounds to me like there's just poor reception in the area you're talking about, or something screwed with the towers) that are giving reception there. Or is it not just there but wherever you go?

Wish I could say it was, but I have been having this same single problem with my V300, A630, and now this V600. I recently read this blurb about having GPRS always on, and it seems to increase the signal reception, I am not saying whether this is true or false, but I am willing to try anything. It is very hard to visit my family, and not have cell service, and even the T-mobile staff there have no clue why signal is so terrible. We (T-mobile and myself) have changed/upgraded SIMs, I have gotten other phones and brands, nothing seems to make a difference. I have inquired is it possible my sim (issued in Palm Beach County) is not compatible with the network in my families area (since it is only a few years old (much newer than what is in WPB) and they don't even know if that is possible. If it getting to the point, where I am considering getting a prepaid phone I will just forward my T-mobile to when I am traveling...isn't there something wrong with this picture.
