I am about to move to China, so I need to help my son set up metroPCS service before I leave. It was a pain (and a learning experience) getting my old PPC6700 flashed to metroPCS, as you can see in my previous post, but I got it done and it works doing phone and text messaging.

What doesn't work yet is Internet access and MMS. I have tried doing many of the things suggested in this long thread, but the PPC fails to connect and stay connected. I have tried the Simple IP, the variety of passwords and no password, the editing suggestions, and quite frankly I am getting lost as to all the changes I have made from the settings it had originally.

My son has the $45 plan, so I am not scamming. I know it can be done because others have yelled "Eureka" right here in this thread. But for me it's close-but-no-cigar. What I would love to have is a step-by-step instruction for setting up the remaining service.

I can follow instructions, and if I get the details I need to make this work I am even willing to write up a set of instructions that are easy to follow. That way others can benefit from what I learn.

So, anybody think they can point me at ALL the things I need to do to take a PPC 6700 from phone-and-text to full functionality?
