Will email and Internet access under the T-Zone plan change if I upgrade to WM6? I don't think it should but do not want to take the chance if it would not continue to work.

Another quirk I have noticed is that when I am overseas, I am not getting charged for data usage even though in theory I am supposed to be charged 1.5 cents/KB. This has happened on 2 different occasions. I do not know if this is related at all to getting email and Internet access on the 5.99 plan.

Now this is really weird. This morning I turned on the phone and all is working as it was 2 days ago. Email and Internet work fine.

When I first signed up for T-M service with SDA, I was told by T-M that the T-web package would get me full email capabiltites. Their description on web said the same. When I switched to Dash (and signed new 2 year contract) I continued to have full email capabilities but also had full Inet access instead of just T-web. Now T-M customer service says t-web is not intended for smart phones like SDA and Dash and I am supposed to get full Inet package. It seems to me this is a breach of contract on their part. If they want to provide me with more service than I signed up for that is their business but if they want to provide me with less service than I signed up for than I have issues.

Has something changed? Today I was not able to access either my email or internet on Dash. I called and T-M said that because I only subscribed to T-Zone package, I should not be getting email or internet. When I explained that I was ever since I bought the phone, they said that their system occasionally scan customer accounts and makes corrections. I tired to install the cab files which is what I had to do to get this to work on SDA but even that did not bring back my email or internet access. Am I doomed to having to pay $25 more for total internet package?

Thanks for all of your help. My usage is very similar - bluetooth when in car, no-wi-fi, etc. I have my email pushed from Exchange so it comes even more frequently than every 15 minutes. it is good to know that battery life is similar to others. I could keep it charged all the time by having it USB'd to computer but have heard that it is better for a battery to allow it to run down pretty far before charging. Is this true?

Good thought. I seem to get pretty good battery life until it reaches 40 per cent...probably a couple of days. I also noticed when I charged it after it was low that it charged up to 75% in less than an hour. That does make the monitoring suspect.

I am having a problem with the Dash. When the battery power reaches about 40 percent, it is only a few hours before it is fully discharged even though the phone is not being used and is locked. Have others experienced this? Is is a battery issue?

I tried this one and am not pleased. It is too shiny (glare problem) and did not go on smoothly. I will return it and try the one from JavoEdge. I had one of these for the SDA and was pleased with it and they make one for the Dash as well.

The email accounts were POP3 and IMAP that had already been set up on my.t-mobile.com
They were not from Exchange.

I just upgraded from SDA to Dash and was very pleased that with the T-Zone web package (which I simply continued from my SDA) I am still able to have full Internet access as well as full email access to my 2 accounts (with the added Dash advantage of non-text message alerts when I have new mail). It also (like the SDA but without having to dial *99# can act as a modem for my laptop. It also runs Skype either through Wi-fi or Edge which the SDA would not do. In sum, I can do everything I could with the SDA and more.

Like the SDA, when I delete an email from the Dash, it removes it from my server. The manual says that if I delete an email from the Dash it stays on the server. This is similar to SDA. While it is generally better for me to be able to remove from server when I remove from Dash, there might be times when I would like it saved. Is there a setting that allows me the option to do either?

I am able to use both the Dash and the SDA as a modem with the T-M Web package. They do work somewhat differently as the SDA requires the *99# to be input and the Dash does it automatically.

When I called T-Mobile to ask if the Dash had similar email capabilities as SDA, they told me that the Dash email would only work if one subscribed to the Total Internet package. They also said that the SDA email was working with the Web package only because of a problem in their system that would eventually be corrected. Yet in their promotional brochure, it says unlimited email access under the Web package description.

The email system on the Dash does work the same as on the SDA except it can be pushed. Since there is no text message involved, there is no charge.

All in all, I am very happy with the Dash. It does everything th SDA does but has a usable keyboard, a bigger screen, a better navigation button system, and some additional functions. But I hope the Internet access and email functionality do not get taken away from the less expensive web package.

GrYphon - you are absolutely correct. I bought the Dsh yesterday and put in the SIM card from the SDA. Both email and full internet worked well. But isn't this odd? Why would anyone subscribe to the full Internet package when getting the T-M web package gives you the same service at a much lower price?

Would these cab files were exactly the same with the T-Mobile Dash? I am considering upgrading from the SDA to the dASH.

I have another question about using the SDA and it might involve the .cab files. I wanted to try to use the SDA as a modem for my laptop. Following all of the manual instructions, I was able to establish a connection but no web pages would load. When I called T-Mobile, they said that the phone could not act as a modem unless I subscribed to the total Internet package.

Is this true? Is there a way that your program that allows full web access with T-Web to also help allow the phone to work as a modem?

Thanks,
Ted

Again - thank you both for your information. I called T-Mobile tech support and the customer service person said I would need to subscribe to the Total Internet package for the time I was overseas in order to access Internet or to get email. I was surprised to hear them say this was necessary in order to receive email. But my question still remains - since in effect I am currently getting total internet access while subscribing to T-Zone through your cab files, do I need to subscribe to the Total Internet Package which would be $30 extra for the month I am overseas? GrYphOn, thanks for your tips. Depending on what I find once I arrive, I might switch back and forth between SIM cards - use a local one for calling and the T-Mobile one for Internet and email access.

As I mentioned in an earlier posting, this has worked very well. Do you have any idea if it will work internationally? If I keep the T-Mobile SIM card will I still be able to access the Internet with the T-Zone plan? On the T-Mobile web page, it says that there is a charge (.015 cents per KB) for international Internet access. I do not mind paying this but wonder if the charge applies to the Total Internet plan or the T-Zone plan. I also hope I can still access my email. I might get a local SIM card for phone calls.

Thanks so much for the info. It worked well and easily on my new SDA. In fact it worked better than expected. I was only expecting the same text info as I got from the 6 dollar package but it looks like a full-blown web browser. This is good and bad. The full browser takes longer to load which is a problem in a fringe service area. Is there a way to get the more limited browser?

Also - the cab files put two new listings in my GPRS area. One is T-Mobile WAP and the other is T-Zones GPRS. The original T-Mobile GPRS is still there. What is the difference and am I supposed to choose 1 of these?
