I'm not even showing that I'm connected to GPRS anymore. I'm considering downgrading to 2.2 so I can spoof my IMEI to one of a sidekick.

says im connected just fine...=/

Just got off the phone with T-Mobile tech support and they're trying to get me signed on to their FlexPay or Plans in order to get my Internet working again :S

[petethedud3]

I'm getting the "Cannot Open Page" message saying "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." Man, this sucks.

Everyone should sent tweets to their twitter account (TMobile_USA), and maybe tip off your favorite tech blog (Gizmodo, Engadget, etc.). If we get this spread around, maybe they'll fix it.

[r3skyline]

I'm on 2.2 now and I get server not responding when I try to use Safari. Please tell me how to spoof the IMEI and I'll try it and let u know whats up. No need for you to downgrade for nothing.

HOPING someone can post a fix in Cydia for this cause this sucks.

Does anyone know if this is currently affecting proper Sidekick device users?

I really havent looked into it too much, but I think it's possible with ziphone (I don't know if its supported on software 2.2, but its worth a shot... I think you need the 4.6Bootloader). You also have to find a Sidekick IMEI #, but that shouldn't be too hard to do on google (just hope they're not still using the phone). It doesn't work (For sure) on an iPhone 3G.

so i just got off the phone with t mobile.

their systems can now tell if you are using an i phone and have disabled the internet services.

they are however offering an internet data plan specifically for the iphone that is supposedly faster than the sidekick plan we all have been using.

the plan is 24.99, however it does not have the unlimited texting.

so i just threw on the 300 texts a month (i never go over a hundred a month) for 4.99.

so for 29.99 my internet is back and substantially faster.

newbie here. so they told you they have disabled the internet on our sidekick plans? I was surprised when my co-worker told me that t-mobile knew she was using an iphone. This sucks. I was still paying only $20 for everything..

I have my sidekick still so getting an IMEI is no problem. Question is how do I do whatever it is I need to do? Ziphone.. is that an app in Cydia? I'll upgrade my bootloaders (FW 3.0 right?).

Quick question. If we just put our SIM card back in our sidekicks for a day or two then will the internet work in the iphone? Altho that would suck anyway since my sidekick is half broke and because I'm sure the fix would be very temporary.

Also why does the mail still would and not Safari? Strange.

Ok i got off the phone with tmobile as well and here is the deal...

I said iphone to them like 30 times and none of them belived that i had activated it on their network and were baffled...

JOTFINOSKI please check back in and update us all with the information on this data plan (what can i say to get my **** back on for 30 a month? Tmobile was willing to activate the iphone after a bit but the 24.99 is an added price to any of their voice plans.... (starting at 30 a month)

What do i need to tell these people to get the data without the voice?

BTW for everyone wondering why the email is operating as normally its because ALL tmoble plans come with email now i guess for free, its just a matter of whether your phone supports it!

I am in SanFrancisco... i openly admitted i had an iphone to them thinking tmobile would want my business and care less what headset i was using and i got no where.

So for those people who call over the next few days try to confirm whether they can in fact for sure identify what phone we are using because i have searched and found that this is NOT effecting older models of the SideKick

****and please JOTFINOSKI update us on this data plan. I have no problem paying 30 a month for data and a couple texts i just will NOT pay upwards of 60 for some voice plan attached that i never plan to use!!!
