Tips/Tricks/Hacks
Using the 3555 with Sidekick Prepaid Data So, you want to use the first T-Mobile 3G prepaid phone with T-Mobile's $1/day Sidekick Prepaid Plan. Well, you came to the right place! Follow these steps to enable the Sidekick Prepaid Data plan.
- First log in to My T-Mobile at t-mobile.com and switch to the Sidekick Prepaid plan. You do not need a Sidekick device to do this.
- Power up your Nokia 3555. Start by going to Menu > Settings > Date and time > Auto-update of date & time, and select On.
- Go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Packet data > Packet data settings > Edit active access point > Packet data access point
- Change the address to hiptop.t-mobile.com and chose OK
- Go to Menu > Configuration > Personal configuration settings > Options > Add new > Access point
- Call it anything you want, then go to Access point settings
- Chose Bearer settings, and change Packet data access point to hiptop.t-mobile.com
- For username, enter dummy and password enter dummy
- Go to Menu > Configuration > Personal configuration settings > Options > Add new > Web
- Set homepage to http://phonenews.com :)
- Username and password should both be dummy
- Use preferred access point should be set to No
- Enter Access point settings
- Scroll to and enter Bearer settings
- Set Packet data access point to hiptop.t-mobile.com
- Set username and password to dummy
- Go to Menu > t-zones > Settings > Configuration settings
- Change configuration profile to Personal config (or whatever you changed it to)
- Set Account to the new profile you made (it should be the only one listed)
Gee, that's all great, but why did I have to go through 50 different menus? Thank T-Mobile for neutering their firmware. The hiptop.t-mobile.com APN requires a dummy username and password, which you can enter into the phone's primary APN. You have to literally set each feature in the phone to use an alternative APN... which is what we just did.
Any drawbacks to this process? The only feature we haven't been able to get working is data access in Java apps. Web, tethering, SMS, MMS, and voice all work under Sidekick Prepaid. The Java app issue is due to Nokia not offering a way to feed Java apps an alternative APN (and the aforementioned T-Mobile neutering of the firmware).
Is there a better solution? Possibly. An OMA configuration file could be fed to the phone, properly changing the default apn to hiptop.t-mobile.com and feed a dummy login and password. Someone would have to write that file though...
