New spectrum for T-Mo???

With Cingular having to give up spectrum in some US markets "Cingular has agreed to divest certain AT&T Wireless assets in Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Missouri, as well as some excess spectrum in Dallas and Detroit." Does anyone know if T-Mo is planning on picking up additional coverage in these markets?

E-Mail Client Help!!!!

I need help with the E-Mail Client feature on my 415 phone. I already setup my screenname/password and all that but I can only send E-Mails. When I go to check mail and select the screenname I want to check the E-Mail from it says "Connecting ... Connected ... Downloading E-Mails 0 percent"
Then it says "server error" and I get disconnected. I called T-Mobile she seemed like she didn't know what I was talking about b/c she thought I was refering to the T-zones "My E-Mail" section. Then I explained again and then she said "Oh that,ummm we don't support that feature" Then I was like ok and hung up. But then I thought how could they not support it but it still sends E-Mails and the E-Mails get recieved. I have AOL. Does anyone get this??? Plea...

Treo 600 and Wap settings?

I just got a treo 600 and talked with TMO CS. They advise I need to sign up for their unlimited internet access plan ($19.95/month) in order to have pop3 email access.

With my nokia 6820, which TMO does not support (but through the help of many of you at howard forums), figured out with the wap access under my $39.99 calling plan, can in fact access at least one pop3 account (still trying to figure out how to access multiple accounts - if any has suggestion, let me know).

Back to main question -- do I in fact have to pay extra to get emails on the Treo 600? I can't see to find treo 600 supported by the TMO configurator site or on the palmone.com sites. Nokia was able to provide GP

6600 Themes

Okay. I am creating themes for the nokia 6600. Anybody know how I can send those to other phones? I can transfer from my pc to phone via bluetooth but the only way I can figure out how to transfer to another phone is by saving it to my memory card then swapping those out. Or... a free WAP hosting site that will allow me to put on .sis files to download?

Price Drop on e315?

Any chance of seeing a price drop or rebate on the e315 when the p735 comes out? My local T-Mobile store has them for $199 now. I really want to get one, but the price is a bit steep for me right now.

Thanks! 😁

New Nokias?

Anyone know of T-Mobile is coming out with any new Nokia phones? Possibly thinner than the 6600, but with all the features of the 6610 and more? They discontinued the 6610, which I thought was a great phone, but now Nokias are getting bigger than they used to be (namely the 6600 and 6800).

Unlocking T-MO phones

I am a new T-Mo customer with a v600. When I was purchasing the phones, I was told that T-Mo would give me an unlock code after 3 months of being with T-Mo. Is this true? I am asking because I travel Internationally and would love to just drop in a pre-paid SIM.
Thanks

GSM 800/850 freq

Hey,
Does anyone know, if I buy a T-Mobile phone such as the V600, if T-Mobile will let it roam onto the GSM 800/850 frequency?

I ask because I don't want to give up my T-Mobile plan ($39.95, 1000 whenever and unlimited weekends and nites), but I am disatisfied with 1900 MHz penetration into buildings such as malls, wherehouses and supermarkets.

I have been told that the 800/850 band is much better at this.

Stupid Customers

Does anyone out there really expect 100% perfect coverage on a cell phone? I don't. It seems like there are a lot of customers who do though.
To my beloved little customers...
If you think that you should have perfect service everywhere you go I got some news for you...unless you carry a really long frickin cord attached to your phone everywhere you go...you will encounter service problems.
Quick complainin and use the service in the first 14 days.
If you don't like it after 2 WHOLE WKS (which is our buyers remorse)...Cancel then!
I understand our service isn't perfect (NEWS FLASH NO ONE'S IS) but even Verizon has areas where their service sucks.

Is T-Mobile the underdog?

I would think so.

I've been reading about the major wireless carriers for years now.

T-mo is slowly making its move. I can foree T-mo doing a business model and a rapid expansion that could possibly overtake VZW and Cingular.

VZW's big concern is to keep #1 spot away from Cingular.

Cingulars big concern is to take #1 spot away from VZW.

I don't think that anyone has watched T-mobile enough. Their rate plans are incredible. Their coverage, while small, is pretty solid.

Granted after a few shaky starts as Omnipoint and Voicestream.. I do believe T-mobile will become a major MAJOR competetor to VZW and cingular. Not only just for subscribers but for coverage map.

Of course this is just future speculation from a dude that ha...

Coverage in DC, MD, and NoVA

Hi all,

I am looking to switch from Sprint to T-Mobile. I live in Rockville, MD and commute to DC, Rockville, Gaitherburg, Bethesda, Tysons, Dulles, Falls Church, Arlington, etc. on a regular basis. I am switching so I can have a phone I can use overseas.

Just wanted you opinions on T-Mobile coverage in the general area that I have described above. Basically what are your experiences here? I have had Sprint for 5 years and their coverage is getting worse. I have lots of dropped call on the Toll road, beltway, and in Rockville.

Please provide you input and any comparison between the carriers.
Thanks

Real World GPRS speeds, is this the usual?

Hi all,

So today my broadband went out (Thanks Adelphia!) So I thought it would be a good time to finally hook my Nokia 3650 up to my PC thru bluetooth and use it as a modem. I've done it before, but never for more than kicks. Today I wanted to see how hard I could push it. So I started an FTP download and a bittorrent download, and watched the graph that sygate personal firewall gives you. I watched it for about a half hour, and I'd say I was averaging about 4.2KBps and getting the occasional spike to 5KBps. doing the conversions, that puts me at an average of 33.6Kbps and bursts of 40Kbps.

Now from what I understand, GPRS's theoretical max is 40.2Kbps, so from what data I gathered, I was doing pretty good for the real world. It's sti...

International Text Messaging? Secret Practices?

I wonder if any of you had received any notification from T-Mobile that international text messaging charge has changed on August 29 from $0.05 to $.15 per message.

I know it did change after I called them. They told me 2 things: 1) one rep said that since very few people used this, they did not care about notifying customers, 2) 2nd one said that they sent an insert to customers.

I checked my last 2 bills--no insert, no info, nothing! It is not posted when you login into your account--you need to search for that change on T-Mobile site! One rep told me that it was my responsibiliity to figure that out.

Secret practices?
