Anyone get their WP8 phone working with full data on 7-11 SPEAKOUT wireless Canada?

Just as the title says. My sister just got a Lumia 820, but she is on Speakout. I know you can buy unlimited browser for $10 a month, but it limits everything to port 80. I know on Android you can root your phone and reroute ALL traffic through port 80 to get all apps and stuff to work on your data plan.

Has anyone used a WP8 device on Speakout with their unlimited browser add-on? Can you sync your email? Can you get updates through the people hub? Does Nokia Access Point app help at all? Thanks!

Cool, thanks for that! I wish he had explained what settings he used, but it does give me hope! Appreciate it!

I was able to get data working by 1) going to Settings > Access Point, 2) Adding a new access point, and 3) Setting the Access Point Name to internet.com.

Hey presto, data started working for me.

Note that this was on WP8.1, Nokia Lumia 525.
