Cricket Tri-Band Phones & Tethering

[cherrypepsi17]

For some reason I can't get on Youtube and I can't get on the Speed Test. What am I doing wrong? I think I did everything correctly..

[ali usman]

also im in el paso tx. and do you have to pay extra for the tethering or is it still included in the plan.

[Angelou R]

Technically no its not included but it can be done if you do a little research.

(on your computer create a dial up networking connection
phone nuraber to dial #777
user name is [email protected] (use your phone nuraber, not 9's)
password is "cricket" without the ""
set the browser proxy to be wap.mycricket.com port 8080)

I was going to go with the $50 plan which has:

UNLIMITED
* talk
* long distance
* text & pix
* mexico text
* mobile web
* premium extended coverage
* caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, 3-way calling & voicemail
+ 30 roaming minutes per month

After taxes I would think it would still be less than $60/mo.

Can you access other sites?

[Cry to God]

Yes, only a few won't work, and then include Youtube and SpeedTest.

Ii am trying to tether and have folowed the instructions, but for some reason i always get this error: error 633: the modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly.
Please help thanks

Btw, I just wanted to thank Extraordinary for her/his instructions. I got my Palm TX tethered to my phone. It's awesome and pretty fast. I just wish more of my internet based apps had internet proxy settings. Kinoma media player does but then it only let you enter a two digit port nuraber. Oh well, the built in browser and Netfront work fine.
