Hey Everyone, I'm new here, but I need some help. I just bought an unlocked Nokia 6101 off ebay to use with my SIM card from Cingular Blue (Old ATT wireless). I got the phone in a T-Mobile pre-paid package, which is no problem, becuase the phone was unlocked and even though it says T-Mobile, I put my Cingular SIM card in and it works fine. The only problem is that I can't get wireless internet access. With my previous phone (a Motorola V600), I used ATT's M-Mode to get movie times, weather, download ringtones, etc. So I definitely have a subscription to wireless internet through the service provider, but because this phone was originally intended for T-Mobile, the only wireless internet software it has is called "t-zones," and anytime I try to access wireless internet throuh that, it says "no connection available, subscribe to GPRS first."
Can anybody give me some advice on how to get access to M-Mode or Cingular's current internet service? I feel like if I take my new phone which is branded with the T-Mobile logo into my local cingular store, they probably won't help me. Thank you!

I think I might be out of luck. Because the phone was manufactured for T-Mobile, t-zones is the only application for web access. When I try to do the online configuration tool for Cingular, I recieve the correct settings, but I can't get online because I subscribe to mmode, not media-net. When I try to do the online configuration settings for ATT, I enter my phone number, but they still assume I'm using my old motorola because I did not buy my current phone through them. The Nokia 6101/6102 is supported by Cingular, but not ATT. So even when I type in my number for the ATT configuration tool, my phone is not on the list of supported devices. I think I either need to find a way to get the mmode application on my phone, or move over to cingular so I can subscribe to medianet :sad: Thank you for the help though.
 
Howdy there REPP55,

You can also login to the Cingular Online Tech Support chat for GPRS - Data service technical questions.From the main Cingular forum menu, or here...

You can ask more questions there live, if the settings you find on the first URL, do not help you log into mMode.
 
Thanks BlkBear1,

I went to the live chat you suggested. It turns out I can't use Cingular or AT&T's data features with an unlocked T-Mobile phone, but atleast I got my question answered. Thank you for your help.
