hopefully...

T-mobile will continue to offer an affordable cellular internet solution... i really love paying only $20/month for unlimited internet, its slow, but for email and other stuff its just fine... 100kbps would be about twice as fast as their current offering which is usually between 40kb~60kbps

Some citys are already edge compatable with T-mobile.

I'm planing on using EDGE service with T-mobile for $6 with a proxy.

Can you connect the USB cable to your PC so that you can use the internet on your PC?

what do you mean "with a proxy"? I know what a proxy is in TCP/IP networks but never seen the term used for EDGE

I would use A proxy with the cheaper $6 T-mobile Internet plan because they don't let u download HTML files with it, only WAP files. A proxy gets around that.

You are wrong, I am able to visit .html pages with my phone, the only problem is the phone usually cannot support normal html pages due to their size, but I had written a few in the past so I could download some files to my previous phone, before I got my bluetooth phone. If you try using the mobileweb/t-zones for internet don't be surprised if you get some extra charges on your bill.

$35 per hour if you want to watch.
$45 per hour if you want to help.
$75 per hour if you tried to fix it, and failed.
The biggest error is sitting in front of your keyboard.

I know exactly what i'm talking about.

You can download html pages on ur phone because ur using the v330's WAP browser witch will go through a proxy for HTML pages. If you try using a 3rd party program or your computer through your phone without a proxy you will get nothing. This is because T-mobile has blocked port 80 on the $6 T-zones.

Also, I've been using the $6 t-zones for tethering for 6 months not and have not gotten any extra charges. Its called unlimted for a reason!

BlitzenZeus, I suggest you go to »howardforums.com/forumdisplay.ph···rumid=52 before you tell anyone else that you will be charged for somehting they won't because I will bet you that at least 10 people on that forum will back up my claims.

Only a few of the current phones actually support egrps, I can look into it further, but I would assume most, if not all of the brand new phones they are selling would be edge compatable. For example most of the major phones have been updated, or replaced with newer models lately. However my own question is the aircard they offer still only gprs, or epgrs as it is older..... Something to look into.
