Can I just add that I've done a video tutorial showing exactly how to tether the 5300 to the N800:

http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...-internet.html

However, as others have pointed out here, your phone network operator may have additional restrictions on people using the internet through their phones, and you may have to pay them an additional fee in order to remove these restrictions.

If you can't get the method in the tutorial to work, contact your network operator to see if there's an additional fee for tethered internet access.

To pair, on your phone and n800 in the Bluetooth settings you need to make them visible to each other. Then you should be able to pair them. It is pretty straightforward.

To set up the tmobile connection, you need to go to Tools/Control Panel/Connectivity, click "connections", and "new". Use these settings:

Type: gprs
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Dial up #: *99#
Click "Advanced"
Use Proxy: yes
http proxy: 216.155.165.50
port: 8080
https proxy: 216.155.165.50
port: 8080

in "other" tab/Supplemental AT commandsEnter the following:

at+cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com"

click ok, then finish and you should be good to go.

I use 5.99 plan, an n800 tethered to a Nokia 6103, and also have tethered successfully to a RAZR v3.

By the way I have good friends who work for t-mobile...this is not against the rules. Those paying for 19.99 service have a much faster connection as well as no port restrictions. They are not restricted by the proxy. i've been tethering for about 14 months with no problems.

Cheers.
Thanks for this information. I have a Nokia 6133 on order which is EDGE compatible. When entering the information above, would i enter EDGE instead of GPRS?

Hi, I tried this with my Motorola L7 and also Motorola KRZL and it had said connected to the phone via bluetooth but i cannot pull any webpages... when i tried the URL "www.wikipedia.org" all it said was

"internal error. You do not have access to the site in www.wikipedia.org"

What does this usually mean?

Thanks.

EDIT: sorry to post on a thread of Nokia 5300 but I found that i have to get on tzones from the phone first to make it work on the N800... weird but i cannot figure out another way.

Thanks again.

hi! i'm curious...if i got the 5.99 data plan going....and I'm in Seattle, if I go up to Canada, will I still be able to access the data plan?...or will it roam to get the data??...I know T-Mobile roams onto Rogers in Vancouver Canada....but, wondering if data works the same as voice...
You might wonder (I don't know) if the roaming *costs* the same as it does in the US. I have a friend who was using his flat-rate data service in Canada and discovered that he had an awesome bill when he got home. He got the company to take $200 off, but that was about 1/3 of the total charge I think.

So if I have the $20 plan, I can use it via the phone and it will work faster/better? I don't mind paying the $20 *if* I get a service I can use for it. Right now, I just don't spend that much time in Starbucks, but if I can use it on the street via the phone, it would be worth it.

Thanks, Beth

I just upgraded from the $5.99 to $19.99 plan yesterday. Yeah, the new plan is faster than the old one, but definitely not anywhere near wi-fi speeds. Right now, I'm getting about 60kbps.

I got it because the old plan was too slow --- I'd spend 1/2 hour in my car price shopping with my N800 tethered to my phone. Something like that should have taken me 5 minutes at home. If this plan doesn't work out to my liking, I just may have to bite the bullet and go back to the cheaper and slower plan.

Of course, the other advantage of the $20 plan is that you can now connect to the T-Mobile hot spots.
