The next thing to do is to open the General settings tab (Figure 5). On this tab make sure the Request delivery report option is checked and change the value of the keepalive parameter to 30 sec. We can recommend you to increase the value of the keepalive requests because T-Mobile offers a reliable connection and it is not necessary to test it every 30 seconds.
