    Default Best/Cheapest way toget internet on my iphone

    I have read post after post and this is still excaping me. Can you all tell me how you run your iphone. I have an Iphone 3g that I have jailbroken and unlocked. I currently do not use it as a phone at all(no sim card). I want to know how everyone else gets online with there phone. I was gonna stop down today to pick up a tmobile phone and use the t-zone hack but the best I can figure that post is 3 years old and does not work. Can anyone please give me a the most basic layout for how I can get my Iphone on the internet. Everything I do now is at wifi spots. I could care less about making calls just want to get online for my email and use the safari browser mostly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can not be the only one out there that has this question.

    Thanks
    Jeremy

    i'd recommend going with AT&T. You can get a data plan on one of their smart phones for like 20 dollars a month, then just use that on your iphone.

    Reason i say that is because if you choose to go with a data only plan with t-Mobile, you'll be paying similar pricing, but wont be able to use 3g.
    The only thing I ask in return for helping, is that you click the thanks button, Thanks!

    Default Figured something out......

    I went with the go phone option. I chose the plan that has no per day fees and every call costs $0.25. I added the data plan onto that for $19.95. I never intend to use the phone part of it anyways and now I get the internet for only 20 bucks a month.. I can not seem to be able to beat that. now I have to find a way to send and recieve text messages without paying extra.

    Make sure you ask around in the AT&T forums because I've heard of people with GoPhone that cannot get data through the iPhone (AT&T blocks them - like T-mobile attempted to block T-zones users).

    T-Mobile didn't attempt to block T-Zones users. They just removed the plan for new users and grandfathered everyone else.

    If they really wanted to, they would have blocked users just like they did with the sidekick plan.

    Key word: Attempted.

    Go back and make a search to see how many T-zones users (who already had it) complained about their data no longer working. It may work for many users, just like many had to switch to web2go.

    Please read my post correctly: I said T-Mobile didn't attempt to block T-Zones users.

    Either you get blocked or you don't. There's no attempted block under these circumstances. It's a one-sided power struggle: T-Mobile in power, we, the customers, are just users.

    If that wasn't the case, then T-Mobile would have attempted to block T-Zones and the users would have fought back with what: unblocking their attempts? How exactly? Did a bunch of customers hit the streets and march in front of 12920 SE 38th Street (T-Mobile USA headquarters)?

    Now do you understand how your statement doesn't quite make any sense?

    If T-Mobile wanted to block T-Zones, then there would be no iPhone user on T-Zones. Grandfathered or not. Blocked. But they didn't. They just stopped new users for signing up.

    There was no attempted block. If anything, they opened up the service. Allowing browsing across all ports.
