Simple Mobile Data Not Working

[ourumov2]

I just signed up for Simple Mobile a few days ago on the $50 plan. I have a T-Mobile Wing running Windows Mobile 6.1 and followed the directions here to setup data. I also deleted my old T-Mobile Data settings. When I go to Internet Explorer I can access only Yahoo.com but any other website directs me to http://10.176.76.164/resources/webpages/error.jsp

I also tried my Google maps app and it says there is no connection even though my Simple Mobile connection is active on the phone. Any ideas why this is occurring? If this continues I might as well switch to Virgin Mobile..

Finally got it to work! The instructions on the simplemobile.webs.com site are incorrect(http://simplemobile.webs.com/index/O...FT%20FINAL.htm). In short, the configuration of the proxy server is not necessary - by removing the proxy config my connection now works like a champ!

I'll have to try this. My wife's Wing was having numerous errors on Simple Mobile.

I called TS over the weekend. I was told that they supported HTML but not web apps on their network (no SOCKS proxy.)
So anything in the browser would work, but apps that connected directly like IM likely wouldn't.

I've been having problems specifically with Evernote & Kinoma player, so I'm hoping this will fix things.

my son has a Tmobile Wing and they said they will not support it at all not even calls or text messaging. What do you suggest? does it work for you? (reply to email. tedraortega@gmail.com)

However we don't support apps, just straight net
