Does the $9.99 data plan work for the streak? I have a grandfathered T-Zones $6.99 plan that I'm using on my iPhone right now and it works okay with the Streak. Only problem is, email doesn't go through and a few other things like a few weather widgets don't work right. I'm considering to change it to the $9.99 one for push email, notifications, etc.

Okay, so I have posted this in the kaiser forum with no solution to my problem and am hoping maybe some people here could help me with this problem...
I am with Att in the US and have unlimited texting (includes sms, mms, instant messaging)
here is the problem: I do not have a data plan and would love a way of enabling my data only on MMS and instant messaging. I know they require data but it will not charge me.
any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!
Y'know, I was thinking exactly the same this morning!!
I'm a developer myself and may consider trying to do a program, similar to a PPC firewall that only allows certain apps to use data usage.
I'm sure there's more than just us two that one benefit from this.
yes before taking a data option i've searched for such a tool but without success
f someone can find / make one it would be cool
What do you mean, instant messaging will not charge you? What program do you use? Maybe it just sends SMS?
For MMS, you can delete Internet access point and only leave MMS access point.
I have just cancelled my Unlimited family messaging plan... Because they "DO" charge for MMS. The plan only covers the $0.25 charge per MMS but you are still charged per KB.

whaaat? no way? im with att wireless and it clearly states on their website that it includes picture/video messaging as well......hmm thats shady on their part.
and as mentioned earlier, yes, this only includes instant messaging via SMS and NOT data IMs.
A data connectoin is required to initially connect to the instant messaging client.

I just called T-Mobile to add the $5.99/month T-Zones web plan for my Wing, however the rep told me that this plan is not available for accounts with the wing phone. She then tried to sell me the $19.99 data plan, which I declined.
After paging through MyTMoblie account, I found that nowhere does it even mention the $5.99 plan.
To add the plan, you must click the "Not your phone?" link in the upper right hand corner of your MyTMoblie account after logging in. Change your phone to something which will be compatible with the tzones, I picked the RAZR V3. This doesn't give you an upgrade phone, you're not buying anything, this is just TMobile's way of tracking which phone you are using.
Now under the "My Account" tab, choose "Change serves" and add the $5.99 tzones web plan!
Hope I can help someone else out!
i dont think there the same speed but i could be wrong

What are the same speed? The RAZR and the Wing?
It doesn't matter, the Tzones works for any phone configured with the correct proxy, but some reps want you to go for the $20/month full internet plan. If you heavily use the net on your phone, then maybe the full plan would be best for you, but if you are only a lite user, the 5.99 is much more practical for e-mail, weather, etc.
i have the 5.99 plan and i cannot use email or weather.
how do you use it?
search!

You can use the search button here to look up t-mobile Proxy. There have been numerous threads on how to set up the proxy in Windows Mobile
I have been using this proxy for a long time.. I started with tzones back when it was 4.99... glad I save a whole dollar every month.. gonna be rich soon!
Any way to get the T-zones wap browser back once you've flashed your Wing? T-Mobile has closed the proxy hole, and now I'd like to test out T-MobileWeb and see if I like it or if I should drop the $5.99
yea, my wing wont use t-zones... every website comes back with a can't b displayed or w/e it say's....
any1 with us service that uses it till this very day fine??
cuz i got it taken off my account... wondering if i should give it another try
It's been working for me since November 2007, I am in the Northeast USA.
Other than not being able to access Hotmail/MSN Messenger/HTC Home weather, everything else works.
I have been using the T-zones proxy for over 1 year in MN with no problem. I have flashed numerous roms in that time and have no problem setting it back up each time. I also use internet quite often and don't find it to be much, if any slower than the 20 dollar service.
Also, if you flash Trans Open-Touch V6.5 and use throttle launcher the weather will work properly even with the proxy. I have not been able to get it to work with HTC home though.
OK guys,i paid for plan TMOBILE WEB $9.99
with this plan i set up the APN is epc.tmobile.com for any fone like IPHONE,ORIGINAL HERO it work like a charm,but how come with MY TOUCH and use with HERO rom i cant do that,its always show me the screen upgrade to 24.99 plan
if you dont believe what img oign to say, load up the mytouch wtih the factory rom and see what happens.
t-mobile has a list of imei's for the mytouches and forces them onto the 24.99 plan.
Strange.
Verify your APNs and perhaps upgrade your plan.
You could even "claim" to T-Mobile that you have certain features without plan information access and they might provide you with the "internet" setting necessary to launch a "WAP" browser.

My grandfathered $7.99 t-zones worked with my mytouch for the first day and it gave me that message. Was going to activate it anyway, but just forgot. My friend told me that his iphone no longer works with EPC access point in hawaii
I have HTC pure which i'm using on T-mobile (US) connection. Now I have the data plan Unlimited Web which cost $9.99 monthly. I was wondering if I could use that for surfing the net on phone. Can anybody tell me the settings?
yes u can i stll have my 5.99 plan lol use internet2.voicestream.com in settings if not then try wap.voicestream.com
but what about proxy...do I need to use any proxy server?
no you dont. theres a way to get that even cheaper $6.99 tzone plan which uses proxy. theres a code that you tell to the billing department of customer service and they can add it in for you. the down side is that you cant get pop or imap mail with the $6.99. the $9.99 plan is similar but it doesnt use a proxy. if i were you, i would get the "tmobile shadow unlimited" plan, at least its somewhat a smartphone plan so if you get called about anything, you can argue that you have the right plan. they will call you up if you suddenly switch to a more superior phone like nexus or touch pro and push you to upgrade. i just use the excuse "im just borrowing and testing this phone from a friend" and they usually buy it and never bother me again.
nope you dont have to do any of that...just use the regular setup and then go into setup...connections...connections...advanced...select networks...and under tmobile data... change epc.tmobile.com to internet2.voicestream.com and reset and u are all done
^^Seems t-mobile needs one whole month to activate a service
they said it wud be done from start of next billing cycle which is like 20days from now
