TCWUG,
As per the suggestion in this message about connecting to
wap.voicestream.com I get connected to the Net via my T-Mobile account
on my Mac. For a month I had had the $10/month for 2MB of data which I
was able to gather was the "only way" you could get online with
T-Mobile (at least what I could tell from talking to T-Mobile and their
site). WAY too much for too little. I shut that off a while ago and
after watching this thread I went back out to T-Mobile's site and
signed up for the $3/1MB deal (free first month) to see if I could get
online. What do you know! Works just like before except I'm not paying
out the ass. Only difference, before I connected to
internet2.voicestream.com instead of the wap.voicestream.com. In any
case, T-Mobile either doesn't realize this or they enjoy reaping money
from people how don't care to investigate a little. Thought I'd throw
in my two cents.
