I need some opinions on how to procede with this.  Well here is the
whole story.
I switch to T-mobile in Jan 2004, and got Samsung phone free after
mail in rebate. Well after two months the phone started having

I googled the group for an answer to this, but couldn't find it.
I have a TMobile Nokia 3390Gold phone that is a couple of years old. I
used to have a monthly plan with them, but lost my job and things being
as they were, I had to cancel my phone and took a few months to pay off

I have the option of getting a GSM phone from T-Mobile that's going to be a
Motorola V.66. Is this a phone that is easy to unlock and be used with SIM
cards for service in Europe/Africa?
I'd appreciate any information anyone can offer.

I wonder if anybody knows what the T610 settings are (if possible ) for
sending SMS over GPRS/WAP?
Thanks,

I have one query.
Who decides (MS or BSC) to go for 1-ph call or 2-ph call?
Whoever decided, on what basis this decision is taken?
Thanks in advance.

I am using the tzones on my phone a lot. I have the easyspeak and its free. But
whenever I chosse the option for "download fun" I get this stupid message that

which is interesting as our home is in a "fringe" area.
a)  Has anyone actually used one of these devices?

Please please contribute to this thread if this has happened to you.  My
correct email address is not provided here.
This is my experience:
Everytime I get a message from Voicestream T Mobile installers to gain

I read somewhere that if you send a text message via GPRS rather than
GSM it doesn't cost anything.  I have easyspeak which charges a dime
per message.  I finally found the option to change text messaging to
GPRS and it does indeed appear to be free.

I virtually never use the SMS feature on my phone, but lately I've been
receiving about one SMS SPAM message a day. Are others receiving these
too? What can I do to prevent them?
Thanks,

The prepaid Tzones is only set to recognize the 2 handsets
specifically sold as prepay kits.. currently Nokia 3595 and Motorola
V66
There is no other handsets currently supported by prepay WAP for

Received my latest T-Mo bill and realised i'm paying 22.7% in taxes! Wow! Is
this normal, as in industry-wide practice?
Also, is there any way to get taxes reduced? Would welcome suggestions from
those who have tried.
