I thought maybe i had gone over my data limit or something - but the internet was so slow I couldn't get logged into t-mobile. When I got back to the hotel, I logged in using the hotel wireless and only 256mb of data used in the current cycle. Strange and the first time this has happened to me.
Letitride3c has valid info... if this WAS working before then do the following:
1) Reboot device
2) in Network settings, force to 2G only, then back to 3G and do a network scan manually
If it doesn't work try this:
If it was an Android device, suggest go to dialer enter: *#*#4636#*#*
Click Phone Information, under Set preferred network type set to "WCDMA Only"
Then rescan for networks and manually choose a network
Changing the Network type settings in the normal device settings menu will change this setting.
