I went nuts trying to figure out how to setup this phone as the phone won't let you see what the Tmobile configurator sends, and it won't let you add profiles and applications to connect to the tmobile configuration (ie: Wireless Village protocol). Last night I finally was able to get it working, and this post will tell you how to set that up.

The problem with preferred access points, is that it won't let you set proxies for the preferred access point (which tzones requires). The bad news is that you have to set custom access points for EACH application you set up. The good news is that this does work.

Background on my setup:
1 new retail (non-branded, unlocked) Nokia 6230i
Tzones 4.99 plan (activated, takes 48 hours to FULLY work)
I'm on the 600 minutes a month plan, free nights and weekends ($39.99)

First if you already did the Tmobile configurator tool, delete the profile and any additional profiles attached to it (application wise). Best way is to start fresh.

First goto Settings -> Configuration -> Personal Configuration settings:

Hit the options button and "Add New"
Select "Web"

Then Input these settings:
Account Name: Web
Homepage: http://wap.myvoicestream.com
Username: (blank)
Password: (blank)
Use Preferred Access Point: No

Now click on Access Point Settings:
Proxy: Enabled
Proxy Address: 216.155.165.050
Proxy Port: 8080
Data Bearer: GPRS

Now click on Data Bearer Settings and put this in:
GPRS Access Point: wap.voicestream.com (note that this is voicestream.com and not MYvoicestream.com)
Authentication type: Normal
User Name: (blank)
Password: (blank)

Now with all this saved, go to the web browser and it loads perfectly.

Now for MMS, goto Settings -> Configuration -> Personal Configuration settings:

Hit the options button and "Add New"
Select "Multimedia msg."

Then Input these settings:
Account Name: MMS
Server: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Username: (blank)
Password: (blank)
Use Preferred Access Point: No

Now click on Access Point Settings:
Proxy: Enabled
Proxy Address: 216.155.165.050
Proxy Port: 8080
Data Bearer: GPRS

Now click on Data Bearer Settings and put this in:
GPRS Access Point: wap.voicestream.com (note that this is voicestream.com and not MYvoicestream.com)
Authentication type: Normal
User Name: (blank)
Password: (blank)

MMS should now work, although I haven't tried sending/recieving. Let me know if you've got this to work (it should)

Now to set up Wireless Village to Yamigo to have instant messaging!

Again, goto Settings -> Configuration -> Personal Configuration settings:

Hit the options button and "Add New"
Select "IM and Presence"

Then Input these settings:
Account Name: Yamigo
Server Address: http://yamigo.com/wv/control
UserID: (the id you created on yamigo.com, not your AIM or ICQ, no need for the WV: prefix)
Password: (your yamigo.com account password)
Use Preferred Access Point: No

Now click on Access Point Settings:
Proxy: Enabled
Proxy Address: 216.155.165.050
Proxy Port: 8080
Data Bearer: GPRS

Now click on Data Bearer Settings and put this in:
GPRS Access Point: wap.voicestream.com (note that this is voicestream.com and not MYvoicestream.com)
Authentication type: Normal
User Name: (blank)
Password: (blank)

Now you're done. As long as you set your Yamigo account correctly you will see that you're connected and should have an automatic im from Yamigo and Google im'ing you. I suggest adding Google as a contact as it's really handy (yes I know the WAP one is cooler, but I leave the IM running in the background)

I'm posting this to save headaches for people, as this drove me nuts for 2 days straight. I can't seem to get POP email working using this method (saying no to preferred AP, and setting up my own with the proxy) for both SMTP and the POP3 connections.

User ID: Yourgmailname@gmail.com
Pass: Your Password
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Sending Port: 25
POP server: pop.gmail.com
POP port: 995 (also tried 110)
Leave mail on server
Download 30 emails

Sending email I think works, but receiving just hangs at "connecting"

Any ideas?

Also it seems that the phone won't take call waiting if you're on the phone, even if you put call waiting on. I saw that Nokia defaults divert on busy as enabled, but if you try to update it to disable, it says disabled, but then if you check status it STILL says "divert on busy!" Anyone know how to fix this other that calling CSD?

Also add this. To find out what your voice mail divert # is, key this into your phone:
*#67# (then send, the green button)

It'll return what it's active for, then click the center button to give you the divert #

It'll give you something like "+1805xxxXXXX"

To set this in your voicemail (ie: so it's a free call) go to

Menu -> Messages -> Voicemessages -> Voicemail box #

Type in the whole thing including the plus sign.

There ya go, you got voicemail setup for the divert.

Testing this from my nokia

On my 6230b, I do not have Config as an optoin under Settings. Is it somwhere else?

honestly I wouldn't know. I'll have to ask my brother in law who has the phone next time I talk to him. I'll check or possibly someone else can post here?

On my 7610 I had to setup Connections>Access Point

So I think you going to have to play arround.

Also, does anyone know Why yamigo does not see what type of phone I have, when I check the member listings.

they just haven't updated their profiles that's all...

I never see my contacts as available, and I know for sure they are, I've tried my cousin, he has precense on his phone as well, and also MSN messanger, non of them showing available on my phone.

yeah that's annoying. It's a delay bug on the server I believe. If I'm online for over an hour, it'll refresh, but it seems like it's like a 20 minute delay.

Update:
POP3 works, just not with google.

Also call divert thing is just saying that while it's dialing and if someone calls it's going to get voicemail to the caller. Once you're connected or rining anohter person, call waiting works. Confirmed and tried it, it works. I guess I was just freaking out. My older phones just said Fowarding enabled, so I always ignored it.

BTW - Yamigo works with AOL AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, etc.

Finally, can we sticky this?

Thanks muevelonyc, excellent posting.

Now, for the real question, anyway you can help me configure my 6230i unlocked/unbranded to work with AWS ?

I'm going nuts trying to set it up with ATT Wireless mMode and AWSMMS, but it just doesn't work.

Maybe you can contact me directly via AIM (Levy01) or posting your troubleshooting tips so I can try them on AWS.

Thanks in advance !
