Using MMS/GPRS on Orbit with T-Mobile Card - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hello,
How do I use MMS and Internet via the mobile network? T-Mobile told me, it is impossible and it is only possible with their MDA Compact 3 version, but not with an HTC version. I can't believe this.
Can anyone help me?
An T-Mobile technician helped me, to do all settings. The GPRS connection seems to work, but sending an MMS is impossible...
The best is, they even told me, that with an unbranded original HTC unit it is impossible, too.
What is your opinion to this?
The T-Mobile image is not usable, because they use a different hw-revision without WLAN...
thanks for your help,
Stefan

Hi I have an o2 xda orbit .I have put a t mobile sim in and it phones and voice mails fine,but i cant access the net with it ,any thoughts please!!
you need GPRS and the correct settings. Prvide more info.
hi its connecting to gprs ,the answering modem is disconecting-thks
Do you know, it cost you nothing to type more in your post? However, it does cost you 'the answer' you are looking for if you type less.
Ok a few questions.
What country are you in now?
Does your phone cames from t-mobile?
Is the phone using t-mobile (your country) ROM?
Did you skip the Ext ROM installation?
Have you manage to connect to Internet before?
Does your telco package include Internet?
What do you mean by 'answering modem is disconnecting'?
p/s: If you find me not trying to help you further, either I don't have 'the answer', or I just fed up asking Have a nice day.
hi yea sorry to miff you with the lack of info I will try to address that this time
country UK
Phone is made by O2 (mda Orbit )I am using a t mobile sim that can access the web in my motorola 3i razor ( definate yes to the do I have internet package)
I did install all the disks that came with it (O2)
This phone in new out the box and has as yet to be connected to the web
When i try to access the web I get the message
when i try to get on to explorer i get the message "connecting to gprs",theni get the error message "the answering modem has disconected."-thks
I'm not sure, probably the O2 phone is trying to connect to the O2 GPRS instead of T-mobile, hence the problem. Anyway, read this
http://www.4winmobile.com/q-what-are-the-uk-amp-roi-gprs-settings-for-web-wap-mms-vt1834.html
on the sectin "Setting up Mobile Web connections", it has the settings, and rather detail instructions on how to set up t-mobile UK. Hope that tmobile still uses the same settings. If not, try the WAP section.

O2 UK 3G help appreciated.

Hello everybody,
I apologise in advance if there exists an answer elsewhere, but I have been searching for the past week to no avail. I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to the right thread/direction.
I upgraded from my stock mda vario2 rom, to the latest schaps (WM6).
Everything works ultra fine but I there is no 3G! I have tried a few different radios and right now i'm on 1.43. I still cannot make video phone calls. The icon is stuck on G. I'm in east london btw.
I believe my O2 uk settings are right though , to te best of my novice knowledge that is.
Again I apologise if this is already addressed in another thread or wiki. Mods, please delete my post if it is a repitition.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers!
you have a tmobile phone or an o2 phone? goto phone settings and check its set to auto
Thanks for the reply,
I have the t-mobile's mda vario2. Tried that already but its still on G.
i have the same problem with an orange 3100. it will only find G not 3G. i have even tried swapping sims but no luck. i have tried all the different settings cabs i can find but no luck
i'm using an orange spv m3100 with no problems on o2uk, and i had 1.43 until yersterday.
o2's signal seems to be inferior to that of orange; i.e. 3g reception not as good
for example i do not get a 3g signal at home on o2, but did on orange, however i do get a 3g signal outside and in other places (on o2)
goggle the site for the field test software.

Call O2 customer service and ask whether you have 3G access activated on your SIM card. I have bought O2 pay as you go SIM card some time ago and it did not access 3G at all, since the very beginning on any 3G phone. Somewhere on the receipt or SIM pack (don't remember now) I've found sth like 'SIM 2G' so that way I figured out card is not meant to log into 3G. But I never bothered to call CS anyway, as I very rarely use that SIM.
Thanks guys,
I'll try all ur suggestions, I did try swapping sims with my wife, hers is an O2 sim which actually has the letter 3G on it, but nope its still Ging on me. I will give O2 a call.

Unlock At&T Tilt for Optus or other Australian Provider

Hi All, I have taken my At&T Tilt to Australia. AT&T provided the unlock code which seems to have worked. Seems is the operative word. I can make and receive domestic and interntional calls. I can send and receive domestic text. I can connect to networks via Wi-Fi. However, what does not work is the data connection to the Optus/ Virgin network, despite me manually configuring the set up per instructions for the TyTn II I was given. It does not make or receive domestic or international MMS. It does not make or receive international text. I inserted the SIM card into another WM6 smart phone, Australian edition of the HTC diamond, and it was able to connect to the internet via the cell phone network. So it is not the SIM card. I have tried some configuration changes without effect. HTC says it is a ROM issue. I would like additional opinions and of course, any fixes. The phone beats all other phones, including the iPhone for my needs so I want to keep it. Thank you.

Maybe it is the radio! Read through the radio thread in the kaiser section and if you can, contact your provider to see what radio they use for their stock ROM and flash that radio or the closest one! read the thread all the way through to see if anyone else is in your area and what radio they are using! Hopefully that helps!
Edit:Here you go click this link...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182&page=5
First post is from a guy in your part of the word! Try the radio he lists or if you have to, maybe you can PM him! Hope you get it working, I would go nuts without my data working! You can PM me as well if you have any more questions!

Could be a proxy issue etc. Internation text/calls would be subject to having international 'access' provided by Optus. maybe register and check out HTC club for any ROM specific to Optus?

Good man! Thanks for jumping in on this! I feel bad for this guy!
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I have checked the thread and see information on the radios. I am a mere neophtye when it comes to radios. Where can I find the radio's mentioned and then how do I install them?
Thanks.
