T-mobile and data

kymberlee · 07/13/2011, 11:52 AM

I have an unlocked Palm Pre plus webOS 1.4.5

I have the unlimited talk & text & data

I know we only get 2g...

Can anyone watch videos? Stream online music?

I cant do either on my cell or when I tether with FreeTether. I cannot DL anything more than half a mb, I cannot play FB gamnes such as Farmville...no vids, no music...

I can't do alot of things.

Is it just me? Im very rural and hardly anyone uses t-mobile out here where I am.

Anything I can do to be able to do these things?

Been this way since I got the cell in January. I spoke to customer service and all I got was "without a t-mobile phone you'll only get 2g". I know this but does that mean EVERYONE with a Palm and t-mobile has to go without the ability to do these things?

So frustrated. My network connection is interrupted almost every 30 seconds.

Palm phones usually require 3g or a wi-fi connection when doing things that require high speed data like video streaming (from what I remember). The best thing you can really do is to have your phone connect to a wifi network whenever it is available. If anyone else can put in some input, please do.

So does that mean unless you wifi. anyone with a Palm and T-mobile is SOL?

I cannot WAIT til I can switch to Verizon.

As far as I know there is no Sprint here. AT&T and Verizon are the big guys here.
