* Josnor,

T-Mobile in which country?
For Germany:
Username: whatever
Password: whatever
PIN: The PIN of the SIM in the stick
PUK: leave emoty, or enter the PUK of the SIM in the stick
Number: *99# is correct
APN: internet.t-mobile

That's all

Uwe

I'm familiar with using E220 and similar usb devices, but not with this service provider. (For Vodafone NZ , I only had to set the number to '*99#' and network type to 'GPRS').

I found this blog which suggests:

Quote:
We didn't need to manually enter any information about our provider, but for anyone setting up their connection by hand, here's the relevant information for T-Mobile broadband in the UK.

Number: *99#
Username: User
Password: mms
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
So maybe this will work for you.

Hi,
I've made quick googling, and came up with these results:
GPRS information and UK settings
APN settings for T-Mobile UK
Mobile Data Settings - What Mobile
You can try them.

These settings should be sufficient:
Username: user
password: wap (or pass)
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Number: *99#
PIN: can be left blank (or filled with your SIM card infos)
PUK:
can be left blank (or filled with your SIM card infos)

I am in the UK and I use a T-Mobile dongle. Up to OpenSUSE 11.2 RC1 I could NOT go online using that dongle - regardless of what I did. Then I played with a live cd of OpenSUSE 11.2 R1 and it... simply worked! No configuring - no passwords, PIN's etc, just plug'n'play (one click did it!). OpenSUSE 11.2 R1 is now on my laptop and I can enjoy my mobile broadband in Linux. Great job, guys! SUSE ROCKS!!!
