Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vzw_t720/

If you own a Motorola T720 phone and use Verizon as a provider, you should have noticed that Verizon only allows you to download ringtones and wallpapers from there "Get-It-Now" service, ONLY. Meaning, any other ringtone WAP websites that offer ringtones are blocked from your phone.

The above link are people taking charge. They're trying to develop a "hack" to the phone, or at least trying to get Verizon to change there stupid policy. Something worthy to note, they are already in contact with the Verizon president in this issue.

Go there, join the group and check it out! I'm a member!

(I own two T720's, two V120e's, and one V60c, all on Verizon)

Just to follow up, the phone has, indeed, been cracked and you can now route around Verizon's Get It Now service.

You can read my tutorial on using gagin to upload ringtones and pix at http://jonroig.com/modules.php?op=mo...article&sid=65.

On the T720 ...

go to browser setup
then to homepage
type in http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
WAP IP: 207.232.99.109
port 9201

some free, limited internet access
enjoy

i can't
 

i tried and it still gives me the stuff about security not enabled

When you type in the URL, it's very important you make sure you have the http:// part

i got it
 

ok for all of you who are kind of of phone illiterate, (like i was) you have to go to browser setup and then make new service then new entry and then type in every thing there

It works on my other Motorola Phone... the V120.

Nice webmail and messenger features :-).

I'd like to ask a question how is this...

... materially, not to mention ethically, different than warez s/w cracks? If this was warez s/w crack related, would you condone it's posting on TTF?

Personally I think stuff like this is okay because technically it's not doing anything illegal. (note the keyword: this stuff is all perfectly legal) It's basically just hunting and digging for an alternate service to Verizon's www plan. As for what I posted, it's just a Yahoo! WAP server - so that's perfectly legal also. Not really true "hacks".

(As an example of something illegal, connecting to the www via the Verizon service by fooling the phone into thinking you are a subscriber to the service, using a fake pin, etc)

What is also not condoned is like the way that someone (going back quite awhile) posted a WindowsXP serial. That was deleted within the hour. ;)

Check out this thread for more info:

still seems a bit unethical to me, but...

I dunno. To each his own, I guess. I don't really see a point into getting into any form of heated ethics debate over this.

I just don't see it as being illegal because you're paying Verizon for use of the phone service (and with that, a simple modem to dial into computer systems.) Then, if you want, you can pay Verizon extra for their paid service which gives you access to their WAP network (hence, the Verizon WWW service).

Instead, you're using your phone to connect to a Yahoo! WAP server, for example. It's not really a hack or a crack or anything illegal. It's just finding those people (and companies) who are providing you free access to the info on their servers (and providing access to their servers via a mobile phone).

It's like lets say you bought a modem from AOL (just pretend ;)) but then you used MSN's dial-up service because it was cheaper.

VZW T720 BREW, J2ME?
 

Any workaround to the BREW issue? What I am asking about is the issue that T720's from Verizon will not run J2ME, only BREW? If this is correct, this seems crazy, if not please correct.
Thanks.

Motorola T720 AIM?

Movie times and t720c
 

Is there any way to get movie times using the http://wap.oa.yahoo.com--they show up when the site is brought up on a computer but the option doesn't show up on my phone.

Will this work for other phones?
 

I have a web enabled LG 510...will this approach work on that as well or is this more of a Motorola thing?

Thanks in advance!

Gagin OK with Ring/Gifs but...GIN Apps...
 

I was able to get Gagin up and running fine using the procedures for ringtones,GIF images, and applications. However,...there are some "gaps".

1, Can someone tell me where (I don't see it on GIN(Get it Now)..not GIF's that is) I can dowload GIF images on my phone that I can also use for wallpaper. I do not just one to "replace" the ones in the phone. Those "Lord of the Rings", exego and others I downloaded DO NOT appear in "my media" category, perhaps because they are not in GIF format.

2, I was able to transfer Applications with Gagin from one 720 to another, However, it would not allow me to backup most of them. For example, I was able to transfer Jamdat Bowling perfectly fine and NOT "FOX Hit the Pro's". - on the "hitthepros.bar" file I get "error-could not read from device". All other files from it transfer fine.

Thanks

AIM for Acrosky
 

It all depends on your service provider.

charges
 

Does anyone know if there will be charges from verizon if I use the yahoo wap? The guy at radio shack (when I initially bought the phone) said the browser costs $5 a month. Is this only if I use the verizon browser or any browser???? thanks

^^^
 

Does it cost anything to use the yahoo service? bump

Free Web - Yahoo WAP on VZX T720
 

I used the 'free' web/wap settings for a long time with no problem. Now I get a message that the connection timed out. Did VZW block it?! Help!

Help Free web!

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

is there a way to set up ones own wap say on my own webpage or something???

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

Does anyone know how to run this hack on the Audiovox CDM8600? I followed all the instructions but I do not have any such options in my browser settings. Is it possible Verizon disabled settings just to prevent this?

Re: T 720 Display Hack
 

I had mine replaced and the old one didn't stay lit but the new one does, they also added some louder ring tones. You can tell that it wasn't a fully thought out addition because they're just named Alert 1-4. Anyway, my answer is that if you get a firmware upgrade your phone will stay lit when using the car charger.

just close your eyes :p

Re: Motorola T720 AIM?
 

Well if verizon is your carrier, you can indeed use AIM on your T720. I'm on AIM wireless all the time. You don't use an application to connect to AIM wireless. It works through your text messages to connect, display buddy list & send & get messages.

Re: Motorola T720 AIM?
 

is there anywhere to download the AIM app for a T720??

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

I have a T720 with Versizon service and seem to be having problems using the PST software. I am able to log onto my phone, read an EMS file and save it. I then have created a new EMS file using MBE. When I use the phone programmer in PST to upload the new file it starts up and when it gets to uploading the wallpaper or ringtones into the phone the phone shuts off and freezes up(will not restart until battery is removed and replaced) and the PST program completely closes. Not sure what the problem is but maybe it is with WIN XP. Anyone that has a correction for this problem please post. Thanks.

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

It is not working for me...I'll tell you <b>EXACTLY</b> what I have in my browser setup...:

Name: free wap
Homepage: http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
User ID : xayj402lue (I signed up for Yahoo! groups)
Password: ******* ('m not about to tell you!!!)
WAP IP 1: 207.232.099.109
WAP Port 1: 9210
WAP IP 2: 000.000.000.000
WAP Port 2: 9210
Conformation: On (Display)
Cache Start-Up: Off (Retrieve)


That is exact except for the first two "()" parentisis...

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

I used your setup, are you typing the ports wrong in that last window? 9201 is what the top said, I get a "server not responding" error with mine and I can't ping that IP address from my pc. I have a yahoo groups account and have it setup like everyones saying but can't get this "server not responding" error to go away

I USED to have a t720 with the brew browser, and I didn't need all this stuff cos I had gagin. but the phone stopped working and the woman told me they were now only offering axcess browser phones? now the axcess phone is doing the same stuff the brew phone did

(hanging up on people, ringing to voicemail after 1 call, saying I've opened the flip face and wasting my battery when I didn't open it at all, and losing service in seemingly random places where its the only phone around out of a lot of other people that doesn't have service)

maybe motorola wasn't a good idea. LG offers aim and whatnot on their phones..

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

Entourage 2004 cannot go online using Motorola T720c for Verizon as a modem

Does anyone know how I can connect Entourage 2004 to the Internet using Motorola T720c to send & receive e-mail messages from a POP3 account?

It works in Entourage X, AppleMail, and Safari on Jaguar and Panther, but it doesn't work in Entourage 2004. I do have Norton Antivirus 9 but disabling its Auto-Protect does not fix the issue.

Please help!!! I can't check e-mails now and I'm on a trip to California then to Toronto.

Re: Motorola T720 AIM?
 

i used to do that. on the verizon site, they displayed the codes to get the buddy list and the ppls' names and then it had an automatic category labeled Mobile Device on regular aim buddy lists. i stopped suing it for a while, then checked for the codes on verizon and it only tells u how to use aim with get it now.

do u kno the numbers to get on to aim via SMS?

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

Nevermind, figured it out. Does anyone here have T-mobile? I was curious to whether playing games on T-Mobile's "tzones" (tmobiles quivelent to get it now) takes away minutes from a prepaid plan

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

Anytime I try using this my phone sits there trying to connect and send and just goes back and forth, never with an error message.

Any ideas? I really want to be able to download some stuff without stupid get it now.

Re: Motorola T720 Phone and Verizon Wireless
 

You annoy me greatly.. if you're some computer "gal" you'd realize that the term hack explicitly is NOT illegal action.. The term hack came from MIT for the best programmers that manipulated pre-written code to enhance it and make it run as they desired.. This is not opinion. This is fact. So therefore manipulating cell phones (even if its just the ring tones) is even more so hacking than would be something if it were illegal. Get with it "tech girl"
