For the T-Mobile account, you'll need:
1.  The email address you gave when you made your donation.
2.  The Order Number you were given by OLPC Donor Services  when you
made your donation.

The Order Number is 10 digits and probably something like 70000xxxxx
or 80000xxxxx or 27200xxxxx.
It would be in one of the several emails you were sent concerning the
status of your order, and also on the shipping label as the PO number.

Start by visiting this page:

Make sure you can see your own wireless access point (a circle) in the
neighborhood
Make sure you can click on your own wireless access point and the
border turns white and stays white.

If you can't, write back here and let me know what's happening.
