G1 Network setup for AT&T help

[orcking]

you mean maybe because they are crooks

Hmmm... maybe so you will buy their phones if you want to use their network? Maybe... to keep you on their network... maybe.

Hello everyone - a few quick questions:

1. Can you push Yahoo email to your G1 phone on the AT+T network?

2. I had a Blackberry Curve 8300 with all my contacts and phone numbers on the SIM - I put the SIM into the G1 but the contacts didn't come over - is there a way I can get them into the device without re-entering them?


Thanks!

I'm currently having issues with MMS on my G1 with the AT&T network. I can't send or receive MMS messages, and this is starting to bother me knowing there are people that can.
I have the iPhone 2g data plan and everything works great besides MMS. Could this be because the iPhone data plans doesn't support MMS?

my current APN settings are as follows:

Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
User Name: wap@cingulargprs.com
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410 (I live in New Jersey)
APN Type: <not set>

any help is greatly appreciated.

G1 comes with 2100mhz, basically world 3G standard. AT&T uses 1900mhz. iPhone works on both.

Correcting myself. iPhone will not work on TMo 3G even though they both do 2100 Mhz, the uplink for TMO (1700 Mhz I believe) acts like a signature detection on the network and will not allow its use. I have an unlocked N80 (Euro 2100 Mhz like iPhone) and it detects a 3G TMo signal, but it's not usable, as is turns out. I was stupidly presuming you could download on the 2100 and upload on Edge -- but it won't let you.

Well you can always try changing the apn settings and I am pretty sure you will have data. I heard on another website that you CAN access the market and run other apps except for instant messageing.

I just ordered an unlock code from unlock-tmobileg1.com about 1 hour ago. I will let you know if they go through and give me the unlock code.

I don't want to receive text messages because I use a free text message service already. Is it possible to leave the SMS/MMS settings blank so that I won't receive any text messages? If so, would I be charged if, i.e. someone sends a text but it doesn't reach me. I have a G1 with AT&T. Thanks in advanced for the input.

**Update**
I went to the AT&T store today and asked them to remove my text messaging plan. They also restricted text messages from coming in. I will still get free AT&T text alerts, but other people will not be able to text me.

I just got my phone to work with the setting
mnc:410

I think there was a typo in the Access Point config above.

It's sooo nice to have data on this phone. Without data it's just a big heavy phone.

nubby - Im assuming that "mnc:41" is supposed to be mnc:410. Can you confirm this.

mikeyrokschicago - What does this show me or how does it help me?
