MSISDN REUSE DOES NOT void your rebate despite what any CSRs tell you over the phone. Many people have submitted their rebates and received their rebate, regardless of whether you perform the MSISDN REUSE before or after you submit the rebate.

For all those who are thinking of adding this as an additional line of your family plan.

If any of one of your current phones is out of contract, you can cancel that and retain that number on this new line. Here is how. (YMMV as people seem to be disputing if you can do this or not despite one member already saying he/she has done it.)

1. Get the Dash added as a third line for 9.99 to ur family plan.
2. Convert one of your existing lines which is NOT under contract to a prepaid. They give u a 5 dollar starter balance on that. It takes about 2-4 hours for them to convert the line to a prepaid.
3. Call in and ask them to PORT-IN your prepaid number to your new DASH line. It takes about 4 hours for the port-in to complete as this is just an internal port for Tmobile.

This worked like a charm for me, when I tried to get rid of my third line when I got the Blackberry 7105 in January. May be its time for one more.

For those people who have family plans and need to port the OOC number to the new line. Here is what you do:

Call 611 from your NEW line (New being the keyword)
Tell them you want to "MSISDN REUSE" (pronounced 'mizzdin') your old OOC number to the new number (MSISDN = Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number)
They will understand what you want when you tell them about "MSISDN REUSE"
Your old number will be disconnected immediatly (Cancel the line), they will do it.
The new number will get a message stating your number has been changed to the old number. (Took 15 mins for me)

I hope this helps someone.

Ordered Wing for $100 AR using the same promo code. Original price is $500. It's T-Mobile's latest. Gr8 deal IMO

Steps to free up more memory on your WING
After experiencing my 10th "Out of Memory" problem, I decided to do something about it. Can't believe Tmobile would release this thing with all that stuff running with so little memory.

Anywho, there's two things that I did that allowed me to have 24MB of free RAM upon startup. Haven't had to constantly reset my phone daily to prevent the memory issues yet.

The first thing will require you to restore your wing to the default setup when you first received your wing.

Start Menu --> Settings --> System tab --> Clear Storage

Restart your wing and it will go through the steps of calibrating your screen. Once that is finished, it will start to import Tmobile extra content. When this prompt appears, you need to hit the softreset button on your phone (you have 3 seconds to do the softreset). Now your Wing will start up and have additional RAM space.

1 - Click Settings, then Connections Tab (bottom of page), then
Connections (on page) -- then "Manage Existing Connections,"
then Proxy Settings (tab at bottom) -- then put in checkmarks
for both "This network connects to the internet" AND "This network
uses a Proxy server... etc."

2 - Set the proxy server to 216.155.165.50, then click on
Advanced and tap the http (which will then let you change the
Port setting to: 216.155.165.50:8080 -- after which you tap "OK"
in the upper right, then tap Socks and do the same thing, then
tap OK again. (There's no need to fill in your user name and PW.)

3 - Once you've done that, just keep tapping OK until you've
exited. You'll now find things have changed rather DRAMATICALLY,
and you can now get the Internet. (I suggest writing Google.com
in the Internet Explorer Search field... Google is a great launching
pad. And BTW, go to the bottom of Google when it loads AND click
on Google Classic. This is the "real" Google, much better than the
Mobile Google.)

Getting your Email (without having to pay for the PRO account)
You actually get to choose T-MobileWeb or T-MobileWeb PRO (which adds access to email servers as well as websites) but what most people DON'T know is that you don't need to upgrade to T-MobileWeb PRO (only a $5 more a month) to get access to their emails without having to use webmail.

There is nothing tricky to this part, there's no setting up that you wouldn't do normally. It's just not as clear as it could be.

The basic idea is that UNLIKE the "T-MobileWeb Pro" plan you need to access T-Mobile's email server instead of your regular one. This is where it get's confusing... Because you'll be saying to me that you don't want a You@T-Mobile.com or any kind of email, and there is where the trick is.

You will be pointing your email program on your Wing to T-Mobile's email server which will act as a BRIDGE to your own email server.

If you have three email addresses you want to check, you WILL setup 3 email addresses, but you will set them up in a way that will seem strange, because all of them will be using the same T-Mobile email server.

T-Mobile will actually help you with this (kind of) by simply going to the My.T-Mobile page (it's login is in the front page of www.T-Mobile.com) and click on the "Communication Tools" link at the top of the page. Then find the "Access My E-mail" link at the bottom. This link will *not* appear if your phone type in My T-Mobile is already set to the Wing, so change it to something else first, like the MDA.

Setting up any email is easy from there (well kind of)...
You'll be able to setup a link to your AOL email, your work email, and even your free emails (although they need a "POP3" or "IMAP" interface, for which some webmail services like Hotmail charge $20/year for, but Gmail has it for free)

The only thing I'll tell you that you might not realized (after you've setup your particular email account) is that there'll be a "POP Settings" that you won't get to through their setup wizard.

This is the "magical" page that you will need to connect the email accounts you've already setup to get to your phone (without any additional fees)

This will provide you the basic 4 settings that you will need to put in what ever email program you have on your phone.
So After you've stepped through telling T-Mobile what your email address is and your password on that email service is, you'll have to look for the page called "POP Settings" which will give you information about what you setup on YOUR PHONE, now that T-Mobile can pick up the email from your email provider.

E-mail Address: {this will be your REAL email address, sometime like myname@aol.com}
Mail Server (POP3): myemail.T-Mobile.com {Will never change}
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): myemail.T-Mobile.com {Will never change}
User ID: {This will be your phone number followed by a :1 or :2 etc}
Password: {This will not show, but it's your password on your REAL email server}

I found the above "bridging" workaround for email is not necessary. Just make sure you change the connection to "T-Mobile Data" in the "Advanced Server Settings" in the options of each of your email account setup. It worked for me. I have tested general POP3/IMAP, Gmail, Yahoo (which does not support general POP/IMAP). Have not tested Hotmail, Exchange.

For the Proxy setting, I set the HTTP at port 8080 and kept Socks at port 1080. So far, web browsing (include Live Search) and email works for me. Instant message does not work, as others said on HoFo.
