So can the 9.99 unlimited data work on MyTouch 3g??
I have looked for an answer but none of the answers show a real answer so i was wondering if anyone can help me.
Is there a way to use an APN setting to get it to work??
The only way to have data is get on the android plan. So far their is no way around it.
Thanks for ur answer then ill change my plan before my phone arrives

I just switched from t-mobiles Sidekick Lx to this Wing, and i was wondering if there was anyway i can get the internet to work on this phone. thanks.
Yes jsut call T-Mobile and ask for the data plan, they will add it to your account and tell you when its on and your good to go!
I didnt' want to swtich to the data plan cause it didnt' include free text messages. I was hoping to use the sidekick internet until my contract was over.

Nah, it's a separate data plan I believe.
The only way you are gonna be able to use the internet w/o getting Tmo's data plan is if there is wifi available.
Hey, i am about to purchase a Xperia X1. I am on T-mobile USA
Do i need to get the 20.00 Unlimited data ? or do i get the 5.99 Unlimited T-zones because the phone is only EDGE?
Thanks guys, great community
As far as I know, the 5.99 tzone deal is no longer available. however, the code can be found on howardforums. it pretty much works the same way as long as you have the right settings.
Technically, you're not supposed to know this.
Depending on what you need to do on your phone, you may or may not need the unlimited data plan.
If all you plan to do is use email, then you can tell the techy that you want the $9.99 100mb plan. Just tell him/her that you just want email and don't want to have to pay 24.99 for that.
If you plan on streaming media and such, then you'll need the unlimited data plan which I believe is $24.99
As far as I know t-zones is a service that offers the download of T-Mobile specific content only. It doesn't provide you internet capabilities.
Good luck!
yeah right
Just got X1 and all day try to connect to T-zones, called T-mobile, they said i should get smartphone data plan in order to use internet on this device.
Thats curious, because i had before P1i, P910i, Samsung innov8 they're all smartphones and worked with my t-zones!
BTW, t-zones is not only for special content, i was able to see whatever site, check email, use google maps. I just was not able to watch youtube clips and internet radio etc...
Any ideas?
dont get unlimited data. what you should do is:
register your tmobile account on the web, incase you havnet already
choose your phone as a razr or something
add tzones plan
set up your xperia
and voila.
theres no point in getting unlimited data, as tmobile doesnt support xperia's 3g ( i hate tmobil )
tzones has been working for me since the wizard.
same for me just get the tzones enabled on your account then go into the connection settings and change it from wap.voicestream.com to epc.tmobile.com and your good to go!
You all are lucky!
I have to purchase the Blackberry plan. But at least I have unlimited everything......but for $40 a month I had better have unlimited everything.
I'm on the 5.99 T-Zones and I have everything working. Email. web its all there. No restrictions. I'm also able to stream videos off my computer via Orb without a problem. I wish I would have gotten it when it was 2.99
Thanks guys! Everything is working with epc.tmobile.com!!!!
I didnt see this APN before, is it somewhere on t-mobile site???
I was almost going to get that unlimited or try 9.99 plan :-E
Guys I need help with tzone settings.
I have HTC Touch Pro and have 9.99 web2go plan.
It was working fine but since last 2 weeks I am not able to use 9.99 data plan.
In order for data plan to work on my HTC Touch Pro I had installed tmobyjoe599 cab
Any help is appreciated.
Hey guys... a quick question. I've set up my P4350 according to T-Mo's instructions to send and receive mms. It works, but my service bars have an "E" above them, of course meaning im using edge. My question is, does this mean I'm being charged for internet also? i only have the family unlimited messages plan... ty in advance.
this is the process i used... http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.co...ufacturerId=9&mobileNumber=&incomingServerId=
Not exactly
No it doesn't mean your being charged, because i have unlimited evrything and I have an E. But, usally if you get a smartphone( maybe just in New Orleans) they make you have to get the unlimited internet services. But, check your plan so you don't have to curse tmobile out and best of luck. Also ulimited messaging just means text messaging.
I posted this in another forum before I realized this one was here.. but anyway I have a flex plan, originally with the t mobile shadow which had unlimited data & unlimited text. I switched to a wing and calls & texts work but of course its telling me that the plan isnt compatible with the phone when I try to switch to the internet. Is there any way around this?
I have been using my new mytouch without a data plan for about a week now. I had data when I activated the phone (didn't sign up for it, but was able to connect), but they have since blocked it. Everything works fine without a data plan except for one thing - MMS. MMS is not working for me now, and I suspect its because I don't have a data plan. I tried changing around APN settings, but haven't managed to find a combination that works. Anyone have any ideas on work around?
So that is weird because technically, without data, you should only get mms / sms and phone.
mms uses the data connection
MMS messages need the data connection to work. SMS messages should work without a data connection since they are transmitted over the signaling portion of the cell channel.
Without the data plan MMS will not work.
Why then did MMS work on my T-Mobile Dash without a data plan?
Dash was a different phone
Windows Mobile on the dash handled data differently than the android software, plus the network systems have been changed to recognize data phones and require the correct data plans.
The Dash was not supposed to get MMS without a data plan but it worked as long as you could connect to T-zones.
Wi-fi works but to get the most of this phone the $24.99 plan is required.
yea i had the same thing the data worked over 3g for about a day. u can buy the phone form walmart and u will not have to to get the 24.99 data plan i just told them i have it on another line.
So...you can have a PDA/Smartphone, and not get hit with the additional cost of a data plan. Is this where you'd need a "unlocked" phone?

to view MMS without a data plan? No cuz an unlocked phone only allows you to use the phone with other carriers.
is there anyway to activate it without dataplan simcard....? with wifi same like g1
I think that myTouch "need" simcard with data plan to activate it. only wifi is impossible to activate.
However, I've another question. Is it possible to use this phone when I have no Internet conneciton (wifi/2G/3G)? I just need to use if for making a call.
yes. if your mytouch 3g is alrady activated (needs sim cardwith data plan for that), you can SMS and make phonecalls and check voicemail (visual voicemail does need data tho) without any data connection, just like normal cellphones.
OK folks. For those of you that missed it. The My Touch has to be activated using a sim card with a data plan attached. Once that is done, you don't need data. MMS on the MyTouch runs through the data portion of the network. Yot car root the phone, load up a different recovery image like Cyanogen or Amon ra's, and no more need to activate that handheld again. As for MMS, no fix for that. You have to have data to send an MMS. Large text, Picture, Or video messages will not work on a text package alone. A "large" text message is about 133 characters or more. Don't realy remember to well these days. The phone was designed around a data connection. Without it, you're gonna have issues.
Is there a List?
Is there a list of phones that MMS won't work or other features are disabled? The G1 used to not need data now T-mobile say's it does? so if I was to get a G1 without data is MMS gone? Curious about the Nokia nuron or nexus 1 is anything disabled without data?
I want to get a nice phone preferably with wifi but no data plan what is my best option a list of phones that work 100% without Data would be very cool...
Need to know my options so I can start trying to get a deal on the phone I select.
Thanks

No not really. the $10 Unlimited web for phone data plan works. Just need to tweak around the apn settings.
I have also seen some forums that included that a 5.99$ Tzone data plan also work with mytouch 3g. However it is difficult to get that plan.
After activating and sim unlocking the phone, If I ever factory data reset, would I have to activate it again with a Tmobile sim card?
Now I am confused.
I have a MyTouch3g from t-mobile. I bought it used so I did not need to get the data plan to activate it, however, picture messages still work just fine for me, as do video. I would like to know why.

Are you getting charged for data usage? AFAIK all MMS has to go over towers so that the carriers network can authenticate the phone they're are coming from, but I could be wrong.
