Setting Up Your Smartphone For Your Carriers Network

"Have a new Smartphone of Pocket PC Phone Edition? Want to quickly set it up from a website instead of tapping in server names, passwords, and URLs on your device? Check out the My Windows Mobile site for a simple wizard that will walk you through the customization process and send down your requested configuration via SMS. Behind the scenes, this site is powered by .NET and driven through XML web services. Mobile operators then are able to take web services and create custom interfaces that are specific for their customers. For example, check out AT&T Wireless's Start Windows Mobile site where they have, among other things, added the ability to choose homescreens and ringtones."

This sounds pretty cool. I often see people posting in the forums asking about settings for their carrier. Hopefully this will help all of you out. Have any of you tested it out?

Same here for the T-Mobile configuration. I just got my SPV e200 today from gsmphonesource.com today. I got the gprs setting setup using this found on a forum from google.com I dont have the website anymore since I copied and pasted and I dont want to take credit for this information.

For MMS Settings (This is where the information is correction

MMS setup
Start > More (9) > MMS (6) > Prefrences

Settings - Accessories - MMS setup
Name: T-Zones MMS
MMSC URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
WAP Gateway: wap.voicestream.com

The above settings work perfectly, after using this info that I have gathered from a few forums and also from trial and error along with the help of a tier 3 wdg tech from Tmobile this is what works perfectly for me.


Sites I have used to verify and revise what I have tried personally with the information at hand it as follows

Cool - I wasn't aware of this site - something new to look at.

I did not see the SPV e220, but saw the SPV and SPVx "2002" devices. Are these loaded with the 2003 OS or only the 2002 OS?

From your aspect, outside of price, what was the advantage of getting the SPV model over the i-mate?

Just curious....
