insert either
wap.voicestream.com or
epc.tmobile.com

then leave username and password blank exit and open safari like yahoo or something
if u get an error refresh it couple times

No. What the T-Zones proxy hack does is recognize your IP, and if it's in a certain range (originally 10.x.x.x, now 25.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x), all internet activities would be routed through the proxy gateway.

You still had to input the wap.voicestream.com APN manually.

Now for the new APN, there is absolutely no need for the T-Zones hack. All someone would need to do is have the $5.99 T-Zones added to their T-Mobile account as well as inputing the APN, epc.tmobile.com, into their iPhone.

Hope that clears up any more confusion.

a few tests the new: 137, 92, 102,130- AVG 115.25
the old: 105, 130, 70, 77= AVg 95.5

I'm in LA, Cali in "the valley"

still not blazing- but at least youtube and Pandora work. Although the 30 second delay between songs on Pandora is a bit much.But we're getting there!

[Lecram25]

I've never tried Pandora, but Tuner (accessing Shoutcast internet radio) is flawless on EDGE (T-Zones with new APN) and Wi-Fi; no delay between songs.

EDIT: I'll try Pandora tomorrow.

You're very welcome. But this would have never been possible without the original thread poster's tip.

Can anyone please help me with this issue?
I have a 3G with TurboSim hack updated with firmware 2.1.
My Edge didn't work for 2 days after firmware upgrade, then all the sudden works..
Then I tried to use the new APN epc.tmobile.com and I always get an error message " could not activate cellular data" If I change my APN back to "wap.voicestream.com" everything will work again..
I live in Washington DC, Maryland area, will that have anything to do with it?
Thanks in advance.

hey does anyone know the settings that should be used for swirly mms now? with this new apn setting?

[Lecram25]

I posted in this thread early about how SwirlyMMS still works for me (I'm on 2.0.2).

Use the same settings as before for the gatweay/MMSC, etc., but instead of leaving your APN (in SwirlyMMS) blank, input wap.voicestream.com (in SwirlyMMS). That way, your phone's APN is epc.tmobile.com, and SwirlyMMS still sends MMS through T-Mobile USA's MMS gateway: wap.voicestream.com.

Settings:

MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080

APN: wap.voicestream.com

Username and Password are left blank

Hope that helps.

I found out something interesting today because the new APN was not working for me so i called TMO to find out why my edge was not working like it had been. Apparently TMO is in the process of switching 'everyone' from WAP to the EPC to get ready for the roll out of 3G. They tried to get me to upgrade to total internet and used that as the excuse as to why my edge was not working. Did not buy it since I have been using tzones with the iphone since day one.

So anyway, if you find that EPC is not working for you maybe they have not gotten to your account yet or you can just call and see if you are still on WAP, if so have them switch you. I am amazed now that I am able to use Pandora over edge. Hope this helps those who are still experiencing issues...if I have you know the button to hit...!

[taotaolu]

While I was switching between "epc.tmobile.com" to "wap.voicestream.com" I lost the ability to use Edge at all.
I tried to call T-Mobile customer service and the tech refused to help me until I agree to buy the $19.99 total internet plan..
Is there a speed difference between "internet2.voicestream.com" and "wap.voicestream.com"
Can anyone give me an answer to that?
Thanks

EPC doesnt work here in Minnesota

[rrogan]

After a little more use from epc, I have noticed a speed increase here in Worcester. I get about 175 kb/s with epc, and about 140 with voicestream. Also, pandora and mxtube are now working on epc, and neither worked on voicestream. I'll definitely be sticking with it.

AWESOMENESSSSS. I used it on 1.1.3 and it worked perfect. It was king of a bummer not having google maps and internet for the past 1-2 weeks.

Good looking out.

PS: i'm only on 113 cause I have 8 photo albums I need to salvage before upgrading.
