I've searched everywhere for information but the web is full of outdated information or speculations, I just want to know if there are any android phones that will work with T-Mobile's Web2Go/T-Zones, like a non t-mobile android phone, has anyone tried this?
I don't mind modifying my phone if that can work I have a G1, if any1 knows how to get it to work on a G1 PM me please.
nope. I tried with both mytouch 3G and Nexus One (which tmobile does not officially carry)
They can tell you have an android Operating system regardless of the phone. Faking useragent didnt work. To get Tmobile data for android phones you need the android data plan. if you get it online its 30$, but if you call Tmoible and ask them they will give you it for 25$
guy above is very wrong.
I've been using a Nexus One with my 2.99 tzones for a while now.
I think the key is not buying a phone within the tmobile IMEI range. Since the N1 was sold directly by google and could work for both ATT and Tmo, it was outside of the range.
Maybe someone can confirm my reasoning but the Nexus One works great on tzones. I get 3g speeds easy
I use a T-Mobile prepaid SIM with an unlocked Samsung Captivate and it works just fine, although on EDGE not 3G. I get the T-Zones website where I can manage my account. T-Mobile has also recently added a option for 24-hour data at $1.49 and that works as well.
Best Android phone that works on tzones is a WM phone. HD2. Flash android on it and you've got a stable android phone rooted and unlocked that works on tzones. Been using it for about 2 months now and it is AWESOME. Great thing is, the HD2 is cheap on craigslist.
Tzones uses what ? Edge or 3g.
Wife has an hd2 I flashed a nand rom on it. Id like to know if for sure can switch out over to tzones and still get great speeds

I've had the 5.99 t-mobile for years.. been through all my Moto and HTC phones starting with the first smartphone good ole MPX200 "when data was free!" not many phones at the time could even use web! 3G works great on my Nandroid HD2 currently.
N1 works on tzone. and yes, best phone that works best on tzone with 3g is the hd2 on android.

Anyone in the US use AT&T and an HD2 and SMS? Any trouble? What are your settings? ROM? Are they stuck in the sent box? Outbox?
I put my iPhone sim in my HD2 once i got it and SMS worked fine. I think trouble started about a week later when i went and registered my IMEI with AT&T to get off the iPhone plan. SMS show as sent but they arent nor do i receive them. I even got a new sim today. no luck. I've tried the hotfixes and flashed to the asian 1.66 ROM. Still no good.
I would give anything for a fix.
I feel like an idiot now with this cell.
ive been using the hd2 on att in chicago for about 2 months and I haven't had any issues with sending or receiving sms. I did not register mine with att. I have also tried more roms and radios than I can remember and all have worked. im currently using the newest Dutty rom with the 2.07 radio. my settings are the default ones that load first time you launch new rom. pm me if you need them. good luck.
i've been using mine since friday and never registered it thru at&t since i was an iphone 2g user and since their network will never detect what phone im using now i would think it will benefit me i.e. my iphone 2g plan is $20 bucks that inckudes 200 text message and unlimited EDGE (which is medianet) and since the unbranded HD2 that i bought only supports edge thru at&t which realistically is the same as my iphone 2g plan, i didnt bother reporting it. To make it short, i just inserted my sim card from my iphone and HD2 setup everything and working like a charm!
now your quivk fix would be, calling att using your iphone and tell them you would want to use it again and they will revert everything back as it used to, after doing that go ahead and swap your sim back to HD2.

I guess this is what I will do. I originally switched because i thought MEdianet incurred extra cost.
I wonder however since i have now registered my IMEI of the HD2 with AT&T that if i switch the plan back to the iphone and then put the sim back in the HD2, AT&T will see the IMEI and know i am using the HD2 again. Anyone know?
I have a rooted G1 with the latest CM rom.
I search and found a lot of old thread about using the $10 wireless plan for the G1. However I know it has been patched by T-Mobile.
My question is how can I get my G1 to work with the current T-Mobile $10 wireless plan (I believe 2G only)?
Thanks
The $10 is for Phone First devices only. It has nothing to do with limiting the handset to 2G services only as Tmobile offers many 3G handsets that can take advantage of that package.
Does anyone have an answer to this?
I have tmobile with the 9.99 plan and it works perfectly (on edge) with my jailbroken iphone.
I just switched to the g1 and it have been rooted and a custom hero rom is installed but I cannot get my internet to work. I have tried wap.voicestream.com, internet2.voicestream.com and internet3.voicestream.com with no luck. Is there any way around this?
not gonna work on any android phone

Thanks for the answer
Looks like I have to go back to my iphone.
Do you know if the data would work on AT&T or how about the prepaid Tmo plan?
I think ATT recently started ID'ing smartphones by the IMEI # and limiting them to data only plans. The orifices (http://tinyurl.com/33pnjj8) have there subsidy marketing model under attack and had to find a new scam.
Why is it that Tmobile HD2 phones can use the 10 dollar internet in both winmo (custom rom) and android but us mytouch 3g users cannot even with a custom android rom? They were both branded by Tmobile and they know both of there imei numbers so why cant we use the 10 dollar interent after we flash a custom rom? They are also both HTC phones aswell. I have tried just about everything short of changing my imei and i know that every time you try and use cell data it sends your imei and stuff to make sure that you have the correct plan. So why is that an HD2 can use the 10 dollar internet but we cant?
I am also curious about this.
the simple answer is, because no one cares about WinMo phones.
look at their market now in the US.
tmo could care less really. EVEN ON ATT, all the smartphones with winmo can use their cheaper $15 data unlimited.
oh and for the record the ONLY TMOBILE BRANDED ANDROID phone that works with web2go and/or cheaper data plans from tmobile is the SAMSUNG BEHOLD 2.
no other will work, and you cant consider the nexus one a branded tmo pone.
and yes the imei is why they block it no matter if you flash the rom.
Shhh. dont tell anyone but you can isuse web2go if you know what you are doing... same way all us old dash users used the 5.99 tzones as SP data

Vonrottes thanks for the insight you sir now have a pm
The Dash? My poor baby.
I have a rooted G1 and of course the HD2. The HD2 is on the unlimited data plan and data works fine on both Android and WM on the HD2. However, if I put the SIM card on my older G1, I don't get data.
Why is that? If the data plan is different for Android and WM then should we not have a problem with Android on the HD2? Or, is the HD2 still recognized by TMo as a WM device? Any ideas or suggestions?
Put the sim in your G1, call TMO and ask to be switched to the android data plan. You should be able to still use that in your HD2. The G1 wont work with a non-android data plan.
Just out of curiosity, why are you still rocking the G1 if you have your HD2 up and running? I gave mine to my wife when the HD2 came out last March. I agree the rooted G1 is a great phone, but I couldn't go back to it.

LOL @ "still rocking the G1". Actually I just wanted to use the G1 as a back up and nothing more.
has anybody tried it? because i was thinking about doing it? hows the quality?
is the same thing thats what i use is like t mobile
If I remember correctly, they use essentially the same operating bands as T-Mobile (1700/2100 AWS), so your phone should be compatible with they SIM cards. In fact, they may even be using the same towers as T-Mobile.
However, might not be able to get HSPA+ speeds, but not sure since I haven't used them before.
Actually, it does get hspa. I am using the hd2 with the 2.2 froyo and it runs on close to 4g speeds and yes you can also use tethering and hotspot. great service!

Did you need to unlock the HD2 to work on Simple Mobile or did it just work. I have a HD2 with 2.2 but it is on T-mobile but I am thinking about switching to Simple Mobile.
Any help is greatly appreciated
My wife was recently deployed so we cancelled the mytouch 4g on tmo and they waved the $200 cancel. fee.
I have been reading on xda that several people use simple mobile with tmo phones, and their webpage says this phone is SUPPORTED. I called a local dealer today and was told that I did not have to UNLOCK the phone because its running on tmo when its on simple mobile.
He said people are NOT throttled unless they are tethering or downloading torrents/movies.
Do any of you use simple mobile? Specifically, do you use a mytouch 4g on simple mobile and would you recommend it. My understanding its rebranded tmo service.
I loved the mytouch 4g, but couldnt stomach the $83 a month. My current phone is a optimus v (sprint aka virgin for $60 a month unlimited everything) but why would I want to use this phone (which I can return as Ive had it less than 10 days, I have 30 days to return) when I have a 10x better phone my mytouch 4g...
Suggestions... comments? Complaints about simple mobile? Thanks!
Just a google search indicates that the throttling cap is being seen at the 2GB mark with Simply Wireless and that they throttle people who they find tethering or downloading torrents or movies.
On the phone, the only thing that shows up is H for 3G and 4G. It does differentiate it if you are rooted with CM7
So my phone doesn't have to be unlocked? Everytime i flash a new rom do i just set the Apn?

AFAIK you will get hsxpa but not hsxpa+
Hsxpa is faster than the 3g that most us carriers served up for years. Now its technically a moot point since hsxpa+ isnt 4g either and their all just enhancements on the 3g standard.
