Actually it same settings like other people talked before. same as iphone, you need to setup a proxy to use the internet. there are a lot of free proxy apps on the market. just download and intall. The only thing cannot run is Voip. I'm trying to let it work. for the Voip, you can get as low as 0.5 cent/min call for whole Canada.

Just an FYI, anyone with the C3 or C5 should be contacting Speakout to upgrade their account if this was not the original phone they purchased. These phones use different web settings than the rest. If you add the web browsing online you will NOT get the right one, so never add it yourself if you're using one of these phones. The C3/C5 web settings are not available for 3rd party phones. And they don't even work on 3rd party C3/C5.

do you mean the unlimited web browsing ? That is, one has to call their customer support to enable this feature instead of just DIY on the account management ?
not quite sure what you mean by web settings ? do you mean APN or setting on SO side ?

They have 2 unlimited web browsing plans. Both are $10/month, both are unlimited.
The one they've always offered is the one that is available online in your account management login. This is the one for use with all phones except SO C3 and C5. Even 3rd party C3 and C5 are limited to the original one.
However, when they introduced the C3, they introduced a new web browsing plan. What the difference is, I don't really know. But, it is a different option for the customer service agents that we customers don't have access to. It can only be acquired by updating your account with a valid IMEI for a SO C3 or C5. Without it, your C3 won't operate the web browsing properly or maybe not at all.

UMTS is 3G.
@Canadiana
So you mean in order to make full use of say C3(like the email or facebook apps), one has to call them for the 10/month feature.

I've got an unlocked LG Optimus T from T-mobile.
Can it do 3g on speakout network ?
I've tried it and it only shows @edge@ speed.
It can see wind network but apparently can't see rogers 3g ( it seems rogers gsm - I assume it is 2g )

If I am not mistaken, T-Mobile is AWS(1700/2100) and their phone doesn't have the 850/1900 band for 3G in NA and thus fallback to GSM.
You should be able to use Wind/Mobility sim and get 3G for this phone. This phone should be good for asia/europe as it has 2100 band.

I have a T-Mobile Nuron unlocked and it shows 3G speeds and better on Speakout in Canada with speedtest.net. The speed is good. This is I belive a quad band? phone but it is T-Mobile unlocked, so I think the above comment presumes too much?!
Quote from a review…….The Optimus T is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual-band HSDPA 7.2 (1700/2100 MHz) device with 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi.
SO I guess"EDGE" is the key here for the Optimus.

The Nokia 5230 Nuron is a penta band 3G phone. It is is one of those rare phone that work with every every carrier in Canada!
Except for Public Mobile. Not that 99% of Canada would care though.
