Good to know.
I am a sidekick 3 user. Just the data side and am paying 29.99. it goes through that danger setup, but speed isn't too bad. I was contemplating upgrading to a sidekick 2008 but only if I can maintain tha same rate. I think that is possible. What I get now..has gone up to 54.99 on the sidekick arrangement. I think I would change to an att or Verizon if I am going to pay that much.

But first I was grandfathered in for the internet $19.99 plan. Second when you set up a dialup connection with your Bluetooth phone/modem you can't cut and paste that initialization string - TS said it picks up the HTML - you have to type it in - and third the T-Mo online configurater that you use to send internet settings to your phone is for the internet on the phone and has nothing to do with connecting to the internet when using your phone as a modem for your laptop according to TS. That is why T-Zones wouldn't work on my phone either. Not sure if this makes sense to anyone but perhaps it will help - next step it to set up T-Mo with Windows Mail so I can send outgoing email since I can only use Road Runner to receive. Hope it works as it did with Outlook Express. DonnaB The 19.99 internet plan doesn't exist any longer. If you didn't have it before the change then you are SOL. The new internet plan is 24.99. The data plans changed in early Novemeber. The price increase is a side effect of t-mo's 3G launch and applies whether you have 3G available or not. If you have the 19.99 plan now nothing has changed for you, my wife's line is grandfathered with this data option.

I activated the internet plan to use my phone as a modem which I have done in the past. I went online with the configurator (VERY old link) and selected internet for my phone. I set up a dial up connection on my computer running Vista. I cannot get online (via Bluetooth) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ - - T-Mobile-US on Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/T-Mobile-US _ _ Yahoo!
