i notice in messaging account -> SMS -> connection type, i can specify either GSM or GPRS.

currently it's set to GSM. if i switch over to GRPS, for each SMS send, does it still go against my SMS bucket or use the t-zones GPRS?

i currently have T-Mobile, $4.99 unlimited t-zones & $2.99 300 SMS.

@xodeus uses it in dk, he reported ca 1 week ago, but gprs access doesnt mean auto the possibility to send sms via gprs. Both of u should ask the operator. This message was posted from a T630

i just tried sending SMS via GPRS but got an error saying 'SMS send failed'.

anyone knows how to send SMS via GPRS with T-Mobile? i basically changed messaging accounts -> SMS - connection type -> GPRS preferred

you can not send sms via gprs on tmobile, and to the best of my knowledge you can not send them on any other network.

hello,

i wonder if this applies to all the carriers in the US. so the fact that some people say they can do it in UK or Russia does not mean we can do it in the US, correct?

that's too bad. i was so hoping i could send SMS via GPRS to avoid paying for international SMS.

Hi
I was doing all the search on boards and also on internet to configure sms over gprs....I don't see an option to do that on my T610....
I selected Data Comm. under conntectivity... it has one listing Data Accounts. There I don't see any SMS option... the only options I have are t-zones, T-Mobile Backup, Test and PictureMessaging.
Am I missing something here?...... coz I did like to select sms over gprs...........
btw, I'm on T-Mobile USA. For those of you who are not able to actually SEND it, look at this thread

is it possible this is location dependent? i just read the thread in howard forum. some folks in seattle with t-mobile claims he has no problem sedning via GPRS?

would anyone here in california with P900 verify this? i'm in san francisco and i am unable to send via GPRS.

in the SMS setting, under SMS Service Center Address i have +12063130004

if i switch it over to GPRS perferred, do i need to change the service center address???
