The following information will let you know how to set up your Motorola ROKR E6 with T-Mobile service so you can use their data and MMS services.

Step 1.

Menu>Setup>Data Network>Menu>New>
Profile Name: whatever you want, I just did T-Mobile
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Timeout: 15 minutes
Primary gateway IP: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Secondary gateway IP: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080

Hit Save.

Step 2.

Go to your browser.

Menu>Setup>Profiles>Menu>New
Profile name: T-Mobile (or whatever you'd like)
Homepage: http://wap.myvoicestream.com (or whatever you'd like)
Network link: Whatever you named the Profile you set up in Step 1.

I'll do my pic messages setup in a bit. Until then, enjoy this...

Setting up MMS...

Assuming you already set up the new Profile in Step 1 from my previous post, this is what you do to set up MMS:

Messages>Menu>Service Setup>Multimedia Message>
Click the little silver box with a blue folder and a blue outlined folder on it.
Menu>New>
Profile name: whatever you'd like, I called mine T-Mobile MMS
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Max Sending Size: 300K
Network Profile: Click the little silver box icon with the blue folder, and choose the network profile you created in Step 1 of y last post.
Save, click the new MMS Profile you just created, and click Set as Default.

Congrats, you're all set up now!

Using correct ports? HAve you called T-Mo? Could be something wrong on their side...

[dakuran]

I'm using ports 8080for my primary and secondary gateways, i haven't tried calling tmobile tho, in another thread i read...

Just go to http://tmobileus.wdsglobal.com/phonefirst and use the model Motorola V3x to send your settings and it should work. The reason why our phones' internet has been on and off was becuase T-Mobile is currently trying to kill the T-Mobile Dash from taking advantage of hte cheap internet plan =)

I'm just trying to figure out if he meant MOTORAZR V3xx or if the x in V3x meant it didn't matter which V3 I chose

this used to work great for me and in the last three days it stopped working... any thoughts?

do you even pay for internet? because if you pay $5.99 then your internet should be working. Otherwise you have to contact T-Mobile.

Sounds like a local problem. I have T-Mo set up as described and my E6 connects jest fine.
