QUESTION: Hello,

First of all I must say I'm fascinated with your knowledge and they way you answer to the point and step by step so it make very easy for the reader to understand.

I have I68+ and trying to use MMS and the internet if possible. I do not have data plan. I'm using another phone 3g and whats good with tmobile that you do not need to have data plan in order to have email, mms or internet browsing.
Setting up on I68+ is not easy. I was wondering if you could please guide me step by step instructions for setting up email, MMS, and internet.
Thanks very much

QUESTION: Thanks for the help. I tired it did work. But its asking me to subscribe to a data plan. I have my other phone where I did not have subscribe for data plan. Is it because I68+ may not 3g?

Thanks again

Answer
I'm glad it worked. It's not because of 3G, it's because you likely need a data plan. It's similar to a smartphone where you do have to have a data plan (even with T-Mobile) to use it unlike data on a cell phone. I'm not aware of any way to do this with T-Mobile without a data plan. If you find that there is, let me know. Thanks. DebiN
