This is a simple collection of settings for use with the T-Mobile (formerly VoiceStream) U.S.A. network. I have used these settings to configure my own GSM mobile phones and other devices such as PDAs and laptops. They may or may not be accurate at a given time and are compiled here in the hope that others may find them useful.

I have no affiliation with T-Mobile other than being a customer for several years.

T-Mobile GPRS settings (T-Mobile EDGE settings)

T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE settings for terminals (e.g., phone handsets). Some items are possibly Nokia-specific. I have found the authentication type can be either Secure or Normal. These settings should be useful for T-MobileWeb users.

                APN: wap.voicestream.com          IP address: 216.155.165.050   

      Data bearer: GPRS            Username: [none]         

   Password: [none] Authentication type: Secure Connection security: Off 

APN is the GPRS Access Point Name.

T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE modem settings

T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE network settings when using a device as a GPRS "modem", that is, when "tethered" to another device. Examples include connection via Dial Up Networking (DUN) Bluetooth profile, or via Universal Serial Bus (USB). These settings should be useful for T-Mobile Internet users.

                APN: internet2.voicestream.com       Username: voicestream  

          Password: [none]         SMTP server: myemail.t-mobile.com 

APN is the GPRS Access Point Name.

T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE modem settings for T-Mobile VPN users.

Users of T-Mobile's Virtual Private Networking (VPN) Internet option should substitute the following APN:

                APN: internet3.voicestream.com 

T-Mobile ISDN settings

T-Mobile ISDN settings for terminals (e.g., phone handsets). This is an ISDN dial-up number for WAP use only. Some items are possibly Nokia-specific. I have found the authentication type can be either Secure or Normal.

     Dial-up number: +1 913 244 0821      Data call type: ISDN    

 Data call speed: 14400          IP address: 10.168.200.50        

 Data bearer: GSM data            Username: wap           

 Password: [none] Authentication type: Secure Connection security: Off
