MOTOROLA MPx220 T-Zones / T-MobileWeb Settings

Background: I bought an unlocked MPX220 for use on T-Mobile. I have had a hell of a time configuring it to work on T-Zones and T-MobileWeb. I searched high and low, to find a lot of recycled instructions on the configuration, none of which worked. As soon as I used this configuration, it was working flawlessly.

Tips:

1. These instructions assume that you have already subscribed to T-Zones / T-MobileWeb. When you subscribe to the service, you will receive a message stating that the service has been added to your account. It can take up to 3 days for this to happen and the connection to the Internet won't work until you have recieved this message. Don't even waste your time trying to do this until you have received the confirmation message.

2. You’ll need to be familiar with how to navigate the keypad on the MPX220. I’m not going to tutor you on how to do that because it is beyond the scope of these instructions. However here are a couple hints:

• Sometimes it is tricky switching between numbers and letters. Holding down the asterisk key (*) will switch the keypad between numbers, letters, and symbols. There is a small indicator at the top right that tells you what mode your keypad is currently in. Try it yourself when you are entering info.
• To save time and hassle, don’t delete the periods when you are making changes to IP addresses. It’s a pain to switch keypad modes while entering them.
