Expertise
I can answer questions on cellular phones, the physical device, the network, contracts, billing, ordering, porting and what to look for when purchasing cell phones. I am located in the United States. I am an expert on BlackBerrys, Treos, HTC devices and iPhones as well as cellphones and aircards. I have over 15 years of experience in both the wireless and wireline world with the carriers. I have a lot of knowledge regarding the wireless providers - their services, prices and policies, both GSM (AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile) and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint/Nextel (iDEN)). I am very familiar with the individual devices and their specifications. I can also answer questions regarding BlackBerrys, iPhones and other PDAs, both Palm-based and Windows-based. I can troubleshoot most any problem someone is having with their cellular device or with the provider.

Experience
Over 15 years in the Telecom industry working for the carriers with individuals, small business, medium business and large corporations(Fortune 500)

Cellular Phones - LG shine wont connect to internet and can't get pic messages


Expert: DebiN - 6/26/2009

Question
I read these tips   First setup your access point:
Title:Tzones
Bearer: GPRS
Authentication:PAP
APN: www.voicestream.com

Next set up your browser:
Srvice name: T-zones GPRS
Homepage: http://wap.myvoicestream.com
connection mode: TCP with proxy
IP address:216.155.165.050
proxer server port: 9201
security: not secure
Access point: Tzones

Now you sset up your mms settings:
mmsc url: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
mms proxy:216.155.174.050:8080
connection mode: TCP with proxy
access point: tzones  


And they did not work for my phone.  I still can't connect to the internet or
get picture messages.  What am I doing wrong?  And what can I do to fix this?  
I just bought an unlocked  LG shine 720.  My Carrier is Tmobile and this was
an AT& T phone.  I am soo frustrated with it please help me  Thanks.

Answer
For the MMS, I believe that you have the proxy wrong. Remove what you have in there. The Access Point should be wap.voicestream.com in both cases (not TZones) ad the proxy server port is 8080 (not 9201). Try this and see if it changes things. Hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
