T-Mobile - Free GPRS?

[agent_c]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc,microsoft.public.pocketpc.wireless (More info?)

Could someone please clarify T-Mobile's policy on GPRS access?

I've been told that wap.voicestream.com provides unlimited free
Internet access for ports 80, 25 and 113, only. Essentially meaning
that you can send & retrieve POP email, and surf unsecured web pages.

The subscription services gives you access to
internet[x].voicestream.com which has no port restrictions; meaning
you can access VPN networks, secure web sites and IMAP servers.

Indeed, with my (non Internet) $20 per month T-Mobile account and my
h6315, I've been able to use wap.voicestream.com in the fashion I
described.

Is this a matter of policy, or an oversight on T-Mobile's part?

From what I've been reading online wap.voicestream.net on the 6315 gets
access to everything. That's what I have on my 6315 but when I connect to
my work vpn I need to use internet3 because wap gives me a 10.x.x.x ip which
is the same thing that my company's vpn is. I believe it's setup on the
6315 intentionally.

Trivial question as I am planning to switch from Cingular to T-mobile:

Does WAP mean it is CSD (Circuit Switched Data, 9kbps) or GPRS ?

Thanks,

GPRS. T-Mo offers unlimited "WAP over GPRS" for $5/month.
Essentially it's unlimited internet- POP3 and IMAP e-mail, and web
browsing on port 80 only (no https browsing.)

For $20/month you get all ports open. I live w/the $5 plan and use
CSD and my dial-up ISP when I need to connect to secure sites.

Every now and then, when T-Mo is fiddling around, they accidentally
(?) open up free GPRS to everyone. My pre-paid T-Mo SIM had unlimited
GPRS (all ports open) for several days. It seems to have ended for me
yesterday. I suspect some similar "accident" had happened to the
original poster.
