You should be able to.
It's £12.50/month or £22.50 a month. http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/m...ne-as-a-modem/ |

Nope, can't.
Not on Pay as You Go. PAYG Web 'n' Walk costs 0.73p/KB, capped at £1/day. Max usage of 40MB/day. Modem access for a computer is not permitted. The proper WnW plans are only available with Flext (& UFix?). |

To add to what's been previously said.
It probably is possible. if your laptop has bluetooth or you have a USB cable, then it should be possible with the relevant software. It may be that TMobile monitor packets to see whether they have the characteristics of PC traffic (is that possible - do mobile packets have different characteristics), but I would think that you would be able to connect. However, if TMobile found that you'd been using their service like that, they may cut you off. |

Is that the actual Web 'n' Walk add on though? The T-Mobile website says that with PAYG, the only "Web 'n' Walk" is simply the 0.73p/KB internet access, with a £1/day cap. And it clearly says using the phone as a modem for a computer is prohibited. |

Only problem with web and walk is that everything is blocked.
MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger etc etc Even on the web and walk max package. |

This works perfectly on T-Mobile, even if you don't have Web N Walk. Web N Walk is the best thing to hit the UK mobile market in a long time |

No it isn't.... this has been talked about before.... I've posted pics of my handset connected via t-mob and connected to MSN.... you simply have to ensure your connection is setup correctly.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...35&postcount=5 For some its blocked and others its not. Its not worth taking the risk of a 12 month contract for something that might or might not be blocked. It's still blocked on my account and i have the web and walk max package. |

It's not blocked, period.... you simply need to setup your phone/laptop/pda correctly.... tmobile can do this over the phone....
I spent an hour on the phone to them, the best they could do is come up with a lie about upgrading to hotmail live plus |

I spent an hour on the phone to them, the best they could do is come up with a lie about upgrading to hotmail live plus I frequently use MSN on my (how ironic) N73 and also my laptop. Windows Live Messenger works a treat, plus Windows Live also integrates itself with the symbian os on the N73. Oh and I am just using the basic Web 'N' Walk package. All traffic that is sent from a mobile web browser is virtually the same as that of a standard browser on a laptop or desktop. I have not known T-Mobile to block ports for msn and the like......although VoIP is another issue. |

Tmobile do not have any facilities to block msn on your account if you've got the top package, that is a FACT. I'm afraid the problem is in your set-up.
Messenger worked a treat for me untill they BLOCKED it in july. It is BLOCKED for me, it is BLOCKED on other accounts who this also happened to in july. I know this is BLOCKED because tried a sim from another network, and hey presto, it worked. Some t-mobile accounts have MSN messenger BLOCKED, That is a fact !!! You guys keep claiming that its a problem with my setup yet you are never able to provide me with instructions for how to get MSN working on w&w. Are you t-mobile employees by any chance? do you have shairs in t-mobile? |

If they can block it for the basic package then they can block it for w&w max.

There is no account option that simply blocks MSN Messenger ports. Its too ambigious. I suggest you check your set up, like somebody has already mentioned. If you're unhappy with any aspect of your service, or any response received from Customer Services, then I suggest you contact the executive office. |

I have the basic Web'n'Walk package (not Plus or Max) on my Relax contract, and MSN works absolutely fine - both on my phone (Windows Mobile) and laptop.

I have the standard WNW package and that won't allow me to sign into MSN Messenger via my laptop, the phone client works fine though.
