It is under tools, options, TCP

I returned my Tmobile blackberry and canceled service today out of frustration with trying to get SSH to work and having the ports blocked

And I can open and view ZIP, DOC and PDF formats, too.

(I'm using TMO's BWC and 4.0 on my 7100t.)

Are they back open? I am getting invalid dns errors in verichat.

Kudo's for the POST!!!

Never thought of it until I cam e across the post

mookia · 02-21-2005, 11:16 PM

Hi, I try to understand here. i have tcp with best 4.0 so I dont need ssh at all? is that correct?
Before I remove ssh, i want to be sure about tcp that I can use from tmobile instead of ssh.

If you want to use SSH on your phone you need an SSH client.

texnick · 02-22-2005, 08:57 PM

Noone seems to have an answer but I'll try to ask as others have before.

What do you mean, enter your user name and password?

The only username and password I have is to login to the website and it's your phone number and a password. That isn't what you guys are talking about.

I can't get any 3rd party TCP apps to work. Can someone explain the user and pw you're talking about here?

oam · 02-23-2005, 05:31 PM

does this mean you cna use the 7100 as a modem and if so how do you set it up?

Mark Rejhon · 02-24-2005, 06:57 AM

oam:
Yes, you can. Please see my BlackBerry FAQ for more info:
Mark's BlackBerry FAQ

texnick:
Did you call T-Mobile (recently; after Feb 8th when the CSR's were educated about the Feb 8th memo) and ask them to get "wap.voicestream.com Internet Access Point Name" added to your account?

oam · 02-24-2005, 06:28 PM

I am having issues having XP communicate with the blackberry. For some reason when i try to query the blackberry it say modem not responding. But every once in a while after opening and shutting the destop manager and handhel manager it will query and i am able to use the 7100 as a modem but most of the time it wont query. Has anyone else had this problem? On my modem page it is set as com6.

nice, working here

verapelle · 02-25-2005, 11:10 AM

Hi Mark,
I just got my BlackBerry on the 13th. I've got wap.voicestream.com entered in my APN setup along with my BWC username and password (I've tried with and without, as well as internet2.voicestream.com). I'm STILL unable to use the weather portion of BBToday; I'm getting "Unable to Open Connection". I called TMO this morning to ask about adding the WAP Name to my account, and they seemed to think it was already there. The CSR did not seem to have any idea what I was talking about; he was not aware of any memo from Feb. 8th... Any ideas?

UPDATE - Well, out of nowhere it all just started working. Thanks to all for the info on these threads!

texnick · 03-01-2005, 09:47 PM

Thanks for the reply Marky, I tryed calling them but I didn't specifically say "add wap.voicestream.com to my account". I will do that.

However, I still don't know what username/password I'm supposed to be using. Can someone explain this part?

texnick · 03-02-2005, 09:51 PM

Wait, Wait, Wait!!!!!!!!! Hold the show!

It just started working for me last night. I picked up the phone with BBToday loaded and the weather info was there! I tried a couple of other apps and it looks good. For the record, I have wap.voicestream.com as my gateway, but no user/pass.

On a side note, I emailed Tmobile customer service before I realized it was working and asked them to "add wap.voicestream.com to my account. The replied like they didn't know what I was talking about.
Morons.

hi,

i'm new to my 7100t with t mobile and would like to know what this ports are open thing is about... i don't understand... i have the data plan with unlimited web/email and 300 incoming/outgoing text... what does this port being open do for me?

bluejae · 03-06-2005, 03:29 AM

is there anyone there to answer my questions?

texnick · 03-07-2005, 12:04 AM

Bluejae, it enables you to use 3rd party applications that use the Internet such as Verichat, BBtoday, Newsflash, and others. The problem we were having before is that ONLY tmobile pre-installed apps could utilize the Internet.

If you're not a power user type, you probably don't care anyway.

Hope that helps.

thanx, that does help.
where can i find these 3rd party applications to check out to see what i might need to use? like i read in another thread about the installed IM app. in my 7100t, that you have to pay to use it. but with a 3rd party IM app. i don't have to pay for each incoming and outgoing message... right?
