GPRS, v70 and others?

Sorry to cross post but I'm having a major headache here. I have an
unlocked moto v70 and tmobile service, but i can't get to surf any WAP sites
even though tmobile is now offering free access via GPRS. When I try to
access wap.yahoo.com or even www.yahoo.com a "network not responding error."
Am I missing any settings I need to apply to the phone? Any help would be
appreciated...thanks

For several days if not weeks, TMO claimed it was a problem with
GPRS. But I was like that doesn't make any sense because it isn't like it
even attempts to look for GPRS. It failed the MOMENT you tried to connect
to t-zones. I even talked to a so-called data specialist and she swore up
and down that it was a problem with GPRS. So I assumed maybe it really
was a systemwide foulup with GPRS. Well, after several days and a third
call to TMO CS, I finally found a knowledgable data rep and she said it
was actually and I'm quoting "a backend access problem". So I had
suspected, they had ****ed up the setting on THEIR side and it had nothing
to do with the GPRS data problems that TMO had allegedly been having.

You might want to ask if it's a "backend access problem" which might
require settings to be changed by TMO in their GPRS platform since you've
now heard another person who called several times with the same symptoms.
BTW, I was really pissed off that a member of the data group told me
something so wrong and apparently thought I was just another silly
customer. When GPRS comes back almost immediately with GPRS connection
not available, I'm thinking that's a problem with access -- your phone has
been denied access to the network. You haven't even gotten to t-zones or
any other WAP site yet.
