Just called T-Mobile? 35$ for a data plan?

[jcraven8081]

just called tmobile they say i have to pay 35$ for data and unlimited texting?

is this true or is there a way around it?

without using the t-zones hack thing...

THANKS!

[blkcadi]

there is no T-Zones hack any more, went away with 2.2.1

[nycdiplomat]

yup its basically 20 for the data and 15 for the txt. they include it now unless you had grandfathered features where its broken up like the way i described.

I found a way around it. I got the message saying "This device is not compatible with your plan." I switched the APN to internet2.voicestream.com and it worked. I have the $19.99 unlimited data + text plan. There is no reason to overpay for the $35 plan. I also called Customer Service and they tried telling me that old joke. They just want your money. You will pay the same as a G1 user, granted that user will get 3G speeds, and you will get EDGE

[blkcadi]

granted that user will get 3G speeds, and you will get EDGE

nope, no 3G speed not same freq.

I meant the G1 user will get 3G speed...the iphone user will get EDGE...both paying for same data plan

Hey guys I was following this thread since my data was also not working over the weekend. After much troubleshooting I recently upgraded to 3.0. I change the APN settings back to epc.tmobile.com this morning and its working again!

[Shinner23]

I'm on an unlocked/JB 2G phone on Tmobile. Just upgraded to 3.0, now I cannot connect to server. I tried epc.tmobile.com and internet2.voicestream.com, but neither worked. Tried the iphoneconfigutility, but kept getting error message to download .net framework 3.5, despite the fact that I already downloaded that. Frustrating.

2g iphone on tmobile.... upgraded to 3.0, entered epc.tmobile.com and working great

Hi, this plan includes unlimited text and unlimited data for $19.99/month. You can also choose the unlimited data for $9.99/month. It's called Web2Go. Call from your housephone and don't mention the iPhone (even though they already know you have one). You can have this additional service if you have any regular plans (I'm not sure about pre-paid). Just don't the $34.99 plan cuz its a waste of money - giving you the same speed.

To change the APN go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network > APN= internet2.voicestream.com (leave user&passw alone).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

They have the audacity to call it unlimited data but from all my research it really has a 100Mb cap. Am I smoking something or did I just miss something. Wouldn't you get totally hammered with overage charges if you go over 100Mb usage?

As of 6/3/09 the $9.99 plan is unlimited (5gb soft cap).

Whoa! Is that true? Can anyone confirm. Where did you get this info? This is very exciting news. Thanks.

Yes, tmobile recently changed their services and lifted he 100mb cap. I switched the day it happened. Can't get better than that!

[adp]

The only reason why I have the 19.99 plan is because of the unlimited text. I used to have the 9.99 plan and it worked just fine as well. I think it's been mentioned before....no need for the caps lol

[iphoneraz]

awesome this is what i will do, i got some old tmo phones no problem there. now if only i could get at&t to waive the cancellation fees and let me get on with my life.

are you guys just using regular phones, pda's, or what? I want to get this but all i see on my services is the 9.99 hotspot, 24.99 unlimited web. I have a blackberry now and i know that the services are specific to phones so i set my phone as my old MDA and thats what it came up with. Or should I use another phone?
