    TIPS & TRICKS



    Blackberry Users Frequently asked Question.


    Using AutoText:
    All BlackBerries have AutoText. This is a feature which allows you to enter a short word - such as "mynum" (sans quotes) and when you hit [Space] after the word it is translated into something else - like your cell phone number - automatically. The list of AutoText entries is maintained under Options --> AutoText. There is a long list of entries preloaded that are handy - like you can type "cant" and when you hit [Space] after the t it will automatically be changed to "can't". There are also system variables like %p and %P that are used that translate into your phone number (%p) and your PIN number (%P). You can type these system variables, or use AutoText to translate mynum into %p. I created an AutoText entry that converts "sig" into a signature for emails that uses %O which is the Owner Information entered under Options.

    T-Mobile U.S.A. GPRS, ISDN, and WAP settings

    T-Mobile U.S.A. GPRS, ISDN, and WAP settings

    This is a simple collection of settings for use with the T-Mobile (formerly VoiceStream) U.S.A. network. I have used these settings to configure my own GSM mobile phones and other devices such as PDAs and laptops. They may or may not be accurate at a given time and are compiled here in the hope that others may find them useful.

    I have no affiliation with T-Mobile other than being a customer for several years.
    T-Mobile GPRS settings

    T-Mobile GPRS settings for terminals (e.g., phone handsets). Some items are possibly Nokia-specific. I have found the authentication type can be either Secure or Normal.

    GPRS access point: wap.voicestream.com
    IP address: 216.155.165.050
    Data bearer: GPRS
    Username: [none]
    Password: [none]
    Authentication type: Secure
    Connection security: Off

    T-Mobile GPRS modem settings

    T-Mobile GPRS network settings when using a device as a GPRS modem.

    GPRS access point: internet2.voicestream.com
    Username: voicestream
    Password: [none]
    SMTP server: myemail.t-mobile.com

    T-Mobile ISDN settings

    T-Mobile ISDN settings for terminals (e.g., phone handsets). This is an ISDN dial-up number for WAP use only. Some items are possibly Nokia-specific. I have found the authentication type can be either Secure or Normal.

    Dial-up number: +1 913 244 0821
    Data call type: ISDN
    Data call speed: 14400
    IP address: 10.168.200.50
    Data bearer: GSM data
    Username: wap
    Password: [none]
    Authentication type: Secure
    Connection security: Off

    T-Mobile WAP services settings

    T-Mobile WAP services (t-zones) settings

    Notes and Links

    T-Mobile GSM Glossary and Definitions
    Usenet newsgroup alt.cellular.gsm.carriers.voicestream at Google Groups.

    GSM network hash codes of interest:

    * #646#: show current minute usage
    * *#06#: show handset IMEI

    Apparently T-Mobile does not currently support Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) for secure WAP transactions.
