Hey guys, I just read that to do all that free internet and text you first have to have a IP address. My IP address was not active, so I called Nextel up to activate it, and they did. Does that cost any money? also i did the net alert through the website and it worked, does that cost money?, also is that the only way to get free internet on my phone??

                                                                           Thanks

no, provisioning pay as you go text messaging to get an IP does not cost anything.  and the alert cost 10 cents for the intial alert, which means if you save the alert you will not be charged anymore.  and so far this is the only way to get free internet and text messaging.

I have never been charged for the netalerts since, as long as you have the pay as you go MSG turned on then you are good to go, since nextel is not going to charge for netalerts since they use it to send updated to your phone browser and other things as well.

Net alerts are completely free.  The only thing you will get charged for is sending/receiving text messages directly through Nextel.  If you use TekniWAP then you will never get charged.

Hello, my first post, please forgive any mistakes! This is such a great resource of info!!! Thanks to everyone involved!! I just purchased a blackberry 7520 from ebay with no sim card. I put my sim card from my nextel i60 into the bb and everthing     

 seems great, however I cant seem to get complete data from the internet. I just ordered a" Correct " sim card from ebay.Would any one have any tips for me, to help with complete internet access? I also just called nextel to add the 10$ web package to my account.Thank you very much for any ideas!!!I also tried the net alert offered, and it said not valid subID Im pretty sure i found the right sub id thanks to your site on my phone :)

Hello I'm new to all of this. But i Just signed up for the internet on my phone. How do I get my Ip and sub id? Do I need any programs to load to my phone. I have the usb data cable on my i860. Please let me know. Thanks dvd8man

http://www.teknidude.com/wap/alert.asp?help=true <--[ that page tells you where to find your sub ID. Write your sub ID down. Then...

http://www.teknidude.com/wap/alert.asp <--[ Go here and enter that sub ID in the box, before the _atlsnup2.adc.nexteldata.net...

Send and it should send a Net Alert to your phone. To get on the internet for free, go to msg - net alert - TekniWAP..

One thing I beleive that on the 860, it wont receive the Net Alert. I am not sure why, but if you dont ever get the net alert then I am sorry. Im not sure if Jason has any other ideas for the 860 if it doesnt work, but the only I know of would be to edit the code plug.

can someone please tell me how to get my sub id off boost i450

My 860 has received net alerts for the past year. Great way to get on the 'net.

I have Boost mobile I730, and have service w/ Southern Linc.
I can send and recieve text messages, but when i try to use the internet, it says"Internet Service Not Availble"?
Any ideas on what I can do to correct this?

You dont have internet access/IP address. Call the provider and ask them "how can i download ringtones and stuff?" (even though you dont want to). They will tell you, "you need an IP address". They should @$$ign you one and then you should be good to go. Be carefull. I dont know how your provider handles the data usage fees. Mine is free with Boost.

o.k .I totally understand the internet thing  but my question is does nextel charge you for the data when using this service???
like a $ per kb or anything??
Sorry if this has been asked before But I could not find a definate answer searching

Thanks TiNy

Hello Everybody

Im not so sure that net alerts are free because when i called nextel it said they were .10 per net alert i wonder becase ive been using Tekni wap for a long time now when i sign on to aim via tekniwap i get net alerts as ims i see as many ims as i get they dont flood my inbox it stays as only one as if it keeps updateing now if i save or lock my aim net alert no matter when i sign it or if i turn my phne off will i still get charged for the aim net alert "updateing" or should i just let the net alerts come and i wont get charged also the same is true with the Chat box but only if you choose to recieve an alert when a new net alert is recieved if any one wants to talk about this matter sommore please feel free to Email me Ezboy360@yahoo.com Thanks :P

nextboy360 I think you are confused Nextel charges .10 per Text Message not Net alerts;

Net alerts were designed so that Nextel can message you and also send links to upgrades and such without sending you an SMS (Text Message) since the net alerts can be designed to jump you to an off-site facility.

I have been using net-alert/tekniwap for more then 2 years and never received a bill from Nextel for using it.
