[Q] usa t-mobile web2go APN settings for HTC hero - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hey guys,
I have the HTC hero unlocked version from Asia. before the 2.1 update, i was able to use the tmobile $10 web services. i took the internet off for a while, updated to 2.1 and would love to get data back for $10 but i can't seem to get it work. i tried epo.tmobile.com as well, and whatever combination i can find on the internet..
- so first of all, is this even possible now with the 2.1 update (or it really doesn't matter which version you have)???
- if so, what are the correct APN settings for an unlocked htc hero with web2go service?

Sorry if this counts as "digging up posts", but I was searching for something along the same lines and came across this post. It's only about a month old so to answer your question..
T-Mobile now reserves epc.tmobile.com as the APN for smartphone plan. To access internet with web2go (9.99 plan), you need to use the APN http://internet2.voicestream.com
Enjoy!

is there a suncom loophole similar to t-mobile?

Wow, been a few years since i been here. its actually great to be back. finally got rid of that horrble hiptop/sidekick and got a tmobile mda vario. I am currently using a tmobile mda running xelencin's cooked htc wizard rom version 2.26 on suncom service but i still havent purchased any data plan. i was wondering if there was any way of getting an unlimited plan besides the actual ppc plan which is around 44.99. there is another unlimited plan which is known as inet for 24.99 and i believe that its similar to what tmobile has as tzones (not 100% tho)
well basically I know that people on tmobile found a loop hole to use the t-zones instead of the actual mda plan so i was wondering if suncom also has a similar loophole. The only data i have now is when i find a wi-fi hot spot or when im at home and connect to my wifi
I am using an MDA ON Suncom. I have been able to get everything to work except MMS.

TZones Hack - Nice Surprise!

So for some random reason, I tried to launch MSN Live on my phone this morning (HTC Wizard with WM6.1 ROM connecting through tzones) and IT WORKED! What else worked? Google Maps, Yahoo Messenger, etc...
I am connecting via the "epc" access point.
i just tried it, will not give me the same result in south california
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
i tired both: epc.tmobile.com and wap.voicestream.com
Any help is appreciated.
Try internet2.voicestream.com. It's what I use on my AT&T Fuze with T-Mobile and I have had a problem connecting to the internet on my Fuze.
T-Mobile is trying to put a stop to people using the web2go ($9.99 plan) on their unlocked non-T-Mobile devices, such as I-phones and unlocked Fuzes etc.. They are wanting us to upgrade to at least the $24.99 data plan for it to work on these unlocked devices.
That is what the customer service rep told me anyways, so I went ahead and upgraded my data plan anyways.
Thanks a lot.....
internet2.voicestream.com
worked ...........
I used the tmobyjoe599.cab for the $9.99 web2go plan
what I had to change is from wap.voicestream.com. to: internet2.voicestream.com
rock on...........

Tmobile MT3G unlimited data plan + Hero ROM

Hey guys, a friend of mine has a Tmobile MT3G (32B) and he's on a special $10 unlimited data plan (exact same as the $24.99/mo plan but cheaper; not web2go). Anyways, because the MT3G is a phone from Tmobile, he could not access the web unless he upgrades the Mytouch plan dedicated to his phone. I was wondering if I upgrade the ROM to the HTC Hero's, which would change the model number of the phone, would it recognize it as an HTC Hero and allow my friend to use his $10 internet plan? Thanks a bunch in advance
nope... you'd have to somehow change the imei to make it register as a regular phone with tmobile in order to disable port blocking on their side in order for it to work...
I dont know how but rigth now i have an old data plan $15 for unlimited data/ Unlimited Text and dont work on a G1 or Mytouch 3g a web page say Data Service Required. But i got today a HTC Touch Pro 2 Tmobile Branded and my data plan works very great and i have an HTC Hero and work great too. I see on the g1 and mytouch in the About phone/Status something that i never see on any phone IMEI SV 02 i think this is the value for detect the phone. My Hero dont have this value.

HD2 and Web2Go

anyone have any idea if this is going to work, bc my only other windows phone was the dash and i used to use the old school Tzones for $2.99 on that.
On the same boat bro, I am currently paying $15 a month for unlimited data on Sprint and I DONT want a $30 bloated data plan, does Web2Go work on smartphones if you buy retail $450.00 ????
Probably not, T-Mobile does IMEI checks now to see if you're provisioned correctly. While you may use them on other windows Mobile phones, the HD2 is considered a special device and will require the regular data package like Android.

I'll second that answer, but more definitively than 'probably.' Full smartphone data plan required.
Web2Go will work. You have to change the apn in the data settings from epc.tmobile.com to internet2.voicestream.com. I've had several iPhones, Touch Pro 2, and now T-Mobile USA HD2 (got mine last week from Wal-Mart w/no commitment) and I have NEVER had a problem. T-Mobile doesn't perform any provisioning checks or scans that's BS! I've had service since '99 (Powertel=>Voicestream=>T-Mobile)!

Do you have the phone set up as the HD2 on the T-mobile website under your account or as another phone?
That's odd because i use to use my HD with one of the cheap plans (since they didn't have the IMEI numbers for the HD initially). However, after a couple months, I could no longer use the phone unless it had the unlimited smartphone plan (and everyone else reported the same thing on the Blackstone forum). As far as I know, Tmobile does check IMEI and it will detect that HD2 is a smartphone will not let you connect unless you have the proper plan.
Thanks for the heads up k2trill, imma buy an HD2 retail and set up Web2Go. Ill let you guys know how it goes, expect a response in a week.
set it up as "my phone is not listed" option.
I am asuming as much as we read these forums Tmobile will too so there you go - from time to time they will create some sort of firewall (by changing the options and settings) to force us into Web2Go... I want to see how this goes as I will not purchase HD2 to subscribe on additional $30 ripoff... Web2Go I can live with...

In theory of Web2Go works on your phone... yes - it will get EDGE quality and not 3G but it should work with everything (weather, facebook, etc)

[Q] Data problems Help plz

Ok ive been trying like crazy the past week trying to figure out why i get mms but my internet always takes to that web2go upsell site. Im on T-mobile here in the us and it's driving me up the wall and again sorry im not trying to bring up a question that's been asked a million times but I do have unlimited web on my plan and yet I have no web. I've input a number of different apn variations and still mms no internet. is there a kernel I should be using or is my plan just dumb because my phone shows on the status bar that I have 3g and h+ but web2go is the absolout death of me......and i know my data works because I use to use a jailbroken iphone.
Im currently running MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 (v. 2.2) A2SD I honestly can't remember my radio type and plz any help would be much appreciated.

Let's see if I can help.
Are you sure you are on the T-Mobile Data plan and not the grandfathered old T-Mobile Web plan?
Here are my APN Settings:
Name: tmo
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Everything I didn't mention is left alone.
I flash several times a week. From CM, Gingerbread, AOSP and Sense builds, these settings work 100% of the time for me.
Hope this helps!
Itried the settings you posted and still no go. I'm gonna give T-Mobile a call later on to find out if it is my plan. Thank you though.
Any update on this ? Same Issue started overnight
Having same issue - HD2 with various Android ROMs on old TMob Unlimited data plan working combination that has been fine for more than 6 months - now overnight I am getting Web2Go message re data plan incorrect for phone and their upsell site - and of course no data connectivity (was working at 10:30PM - then at 6:30am not working - between putting phone down and picking it up)
Will try suggested settings but have to wonder are TMob doing some kind of rolling update thats killing what older data plans can do.
Any help/advice appreciated
Tubster90
Update
Tried options from Voltron1551
Didnt work
Read HD2 Android FAQ again
Tried just APN value
Worked.......
Fingers crossed
Data Web2Go update
I too, was having the same issue... and here is what I found from T-Mobile Support:
T-Mobile just recently did a network upgrade & a Data Plan change:
1: pushing 4G to more areas
2: new data plans (no more unlimited plans for NEW customers)
if you were ALREADY on an unlimited data plan... those were supposed to be grandfathered into the new setup... but something got messed up during that transition.
I recommend, if you are still having issues (mine resolved this morning... been down for 2 days) is to contact T-Mobile customer support to report your issue.
Hope that helps you guys
Update:
my APN settings are as follows, by the way:
Name : T-Mobile Data
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC : http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
all other fields are blank.
Bit of clarification too regarding this issue... they said the accounts affected were discounted unlimited data plans.
I've got the business card with my trouble ticket #.... When i get home i will post it, if you need the number for reference with TMO support.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Sorry for the late reply.
The trouble ticket TMO service gave me is as follows:
TC0000001393054
Hope this helps anyone still having this issue.
