    Just download again when it is released, I think PDAApps will allow a new trial to be started all over again, once they publicly release something newer than 1.48.

    By the way, I am a beta tester of Verichat; currently at 1.72 on Rogers. I am trying to help them to get it to run perfectly reliably through tons of abuse (i.e. Run Verichat 48hours nonstop with lots of intermittent reception, survive through poweroffs, survive through radiooffs, without permanently signing itself off, without crashing, and being able to automatically reconnect when back in reception). I used to do that with WebMessenger for many months, I want Verichat to be more reliable than WebMessenger. They are getting there and I am impressed at their responsiveness to my bug reports.

    I am a registered user. Verichat 1.72 is indeed much more reliable. I believe they are close to releasing, but I have to see if I am able to run it for 48hours nonstop without serious problems, then I'll sign off this release as "Stable". I think they are waiting for me to stop telling them about Verichat crashes under BlackBerryOS4, and they keep sending me betas. I've sent PDAApps over 40 bug report messages, so they have been sending me most of the useful beta releases.
    Thanks,
    Mark Rejhon

    Well I realy do love the app so I bought myself a copy. Now to hope support sends me a link to the beta versions that work around T-mobile being dumb.

    I am in the process of choosing a carrier for BB. Does AT&T and/or Cingular offer the BB with open ports today?

    Does anyone know if using your Userid and password under the TCP setting for wap.voicestream.com opens up the ports???

    Which username/password?

    The one used on the t-mobile website to check billing and such? Or some other one?

    For whom did the username/password work?

    How and why would the username/password work correctly, when the problem is the IDHCP server not cross-checking data access plans with blackberries?

    Frustrated and curious!

    thanks.

    which username and password are you talking about? for Blackberry Web Client? I tried that and nothing.

    This is getting very annoying. I have this full plan and I can't get anything to work. The OZ Im chat stinks like you can't believe so I'm forced to use AIM Forwarding to SMS, which works pretty well.

    Other than that, I can't do anything a normal paying BB user could under other providers.

    Ok it will be helpful to list the following related to your issues with VeriChat, etc...

    1. Which wireless carrier?
    2. Which Device Model?
    3. What OS version are you running?
    4. What application and version of said app are you having issues with?
    5. Are you on the BES or BWC?
    6. What is not working? Description of error?

    For example....for me....
    1. T-Mobile
    2. 7100v
    3. 4.0.0.198
    4. APP NAME version 1234.1234
    5. BWC
    6. APP ISSUE

    Partial success!

    Ok guys, here's what's up on my end.

    Seems T-Mobile is *not* blocking internet-bound access over ports 25 or 110. Probably because the mobile phones on t-zones are still using these ports to access mail (outbound SMTP, incoming POP3). I can confirm ports 25 and 110 are open, and you might try 143 (IMAP).

    80, 8080 and 10080 are closed for sure.

    So this means that I set up my ssh daemon to run on port 110, and was able to ssh right into it using midpssh.

    Settings for Tools->Settings->TCP were the standard:
    wap.voicestream.com
    no username/password set.


    I then tried reqwireless personal edition, and it didn't work. I fiddled with it a bit, and I came up with the answer that reqwireless works as a giant proxy program. It surfs the web via proxy1.reqwireless.com over port 80 or 8080 (configurable). Unfortunately it doesn't do any other ports than that.

    So if you have enough know-how and network hardware control to get things running on non-standard ports, you'll be able to do most things fine. Some programs won't work.

    T-Mobile still needs to get this all fixed on their end. Charging the early-adopters and generally most knowledgeable and forward thinking customers more for the same service other networks give for free doesn't make much business sense to me.

    Any further updates on where the overworked engineering team is at on the ticket?

    My TMO Ticket Update....

    well they closed my ticket without doing anything!! So I had them open another ticket to whcih I have had no response to.....I am calling them tonight to get the latest.....

    this has got to be the most ridiculous customer service debacle in a long time....taking away the ability to use applications that make the device and your service more exciting and usable - yeah that makes a whole lotta sense T-Mobile.....tell you what get a clue on your network and make sure us full pay customers are satisfied....I mean "unlimited" used to mean "unlimited" right???

    Anyways....
    the newest version of VeriChat works for me - it must use a different "unblocked" port than the older versions....

    ReqWireless WebViewer 4.0 Personal Edition works for me using the TMO APN and IP/Port Combination....under the advanced menu item of settings...

    Connection Port = 80
    WAP GPRS APN: wap.voicestream.com
    WAP Gateway IP: 216.155.165.50
    WAP Gateway Port: 9201

    The Today application weather still does not work nor does the app Umsg which is specific to MSN instant messaging......

    So long story short my ports are still blocked and no progress from TMO customer service other than keep checking back.....

    T-Mobile Opens Blocked Blackberry Ports
    Last December T-Mobile Blackberry users on a WAP connection may have noticed that their 3rd party programs stopped communicating with the internet. Things like their favourite Instant Messenger program stopped working because T-Mobile blocked any applications other than e-mail and the Blackberry Browser to stop working. They have finally fixed the issue and users should now be able to surf as normal. The issue was first caused by a billing issue, took them awhile but we are glad to have it resolved.

    We have now confirmed this by using Idokorro’s Mobile SSH program to telnet into our hosting server.

    UPDATE!!!

    Applications that I needed BES to work now work with OS 4 and TMO opening ports. Microsky did not work on 3.7 but now I am able to connect to the server and download astronomy data.

    I will try other applications and other like me should do the same. Report back what works not, like chat (blackchat), telnet, etc.
