Is it possibe to have a t mobile wing with the unlimited text and internet sidekick plan for 19.99. i honestly think paying 14.99 plus 19.99 for all those features is ridiculous!
Unfortunately...
No it is not possible, the sidekick works on a different APN than the Wing does. The sidekick uses a hiphop.com APN, where the Wing can use either the internet2 or internet3 APN. I hope this answers your question.
I am thinking about getting the N1 and using it on att. I am bored with all of the phones they have out right now. I just have a couple questions....
How slow are the edge data speeds? Im on a BB Bold 9700 and I am pretty aggravated with the 3g speeds on that thing.
And second can you talk and surf the web at the same time on edge? I have heard people saying that if there is an active data session then the calls will go straight to v-mail? Is this true?
Thanks a ton
I surf the web all day on AT&T/EDGE with my Nexus One, and its a little pokey, but I feel the browsing experience is so sweet, thats its still worth owning.
Even at home, where I have wifi, I'm rarely pushed to enabling it. Usually when I have to do a large download.
No surfing & talking at the same time, you need 3g for that. I don't really miss it, but its one of those things that could come in handy.
When an AT&T Nexus or better comes out, I'll get that and pawn off my N1 to my wife as she doesn't surf the net.
thanks for your insight. Have you had any problems while surfing the web phone calls being pushed right to voicemail?
I was getting 175 kbps on At&t. not horrible since my friend was getting about 300 kbps on his Bold right next to me on 3g. I decided to just switch to tmobile since I wasn't using 3g, tmo. has better rates. hopefully they will be getting 3g in my area soon.
Don't know if any of you saw this but I wouldn't buy an N1 yet if you want to use AT&T. If I wasn't stuck in the T-Mobile contract I'd try and sell my T-Mobile N1 when this comes out.

I wonder though, will this device work on both AT&T and T-Mobile at 3G?
Oh, and Heya Crayon! Nice to see you over here too!

Yea I have seen that but I have a feeling that will not be out for another six months or so.
just be warned, myself and others have been forced onto $30 data plans with the n1. so id wait for the 3G version at least so you are getting your money's worth.

Well that is a no brainer... why would you want it without data anyway?

you wouldnt. i used to have a $10 unlimited medianet data plan until at&t switched me to the $30 plan.
I was forced into a $30 plan also, when I already had a $15 unlimited data plan with AT&T.
Try logging onto your wireless account and going to "manage features". Remove the $30 smartphone plan they've tacked onto your bill, and re-select your old medianet plan (I'm not sure it'll show up for you, but my $15 unlimited plan was still there)
This has worked for me for about a week and a half.
It looks like AT&T is getting the Desire and N1 http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/02/23/att-picking-up-htc-desire-sprint-grabbing-htc-hero2/
AT&T 3G Network also got a good write up in a PC World Report

Cannot wait for a sim card version of the Nexus One that works on more than one carrier in Canada.
I have hd2 now with $5.99 data plan now I think about swtich to nexus one.can I still can use that $5.99 data plan?!or must $24.99?
anyone know.if not are there any other way to resolve it?
i'm using it now and have since day 1 of the N1 release and for a year with the iphone before that
same here. thats the only reason i got the nexus. so far so good! and the nexus is freaking SWEET!
guys wait....what data plan you have? the 24.99 one or 5.99one??!
The lowest data plan on the t-mobile site I see is $10 for "unlimited web".
Can one of you guys provide a link to the t-zones plan? thanks.

yes, now there isn't 5.99 anymore,right now it is 9.99
paullu is correct. If you've been with TMO since they had $5.99 tzones and still have it on your plan, you can have that. I think there's even a user of these forums that claims to still have $2.99 tzones. If neither of those apply to you, the cheapest you can now get it for is $10 by saying you have some non-smartphone but want the internet access for some strange reason and make them believe you.
I'm using the 5 dollar plan since the middle of january.
As others have said, the $5.99 TZones plan is only available if you have it grandfathered in on your plan. Using this plan is a classic "trick" for any unlocked smartphone device that you use on your line... works with unlocked iPhones and other devices.
Unfortunately, I am a sucker and have the standard $24.99 plan.
yeah i got my data plan a year ago or so, 5.99tzones. im one of the lucky ones who are now grandfathered so my internet is cheaper. but my minutes arent!
Beware I had the $5.99 plan for years but at some point it morphed into the $9.99 TmobileWeb plan. When I got the N1 it switched off several times. I noticed that setting my phone in the my.tmobile.com webpage to a dumbphone seemed to reset it to work again. That worked for January and February but it failed two weeks ago. I am guessing that Tmo somehow identifies smartphone users (especially the N1) and has gotten more aggressive about their data plans.

When I first got the Nexus One, I was on the iPhone 3G with the $9.99 plan. I poped in my sim card, and I had bypassed all the screens, logged onto my google account and the contacts were synced already. It showed the 3G logo and when I called up T-Mobile, they said the Android Internet plan isn't required but I still bumped it up to the Android plan anyways.
currently I have a Tmobile prepaid dumb phone and am thinking about buying a nexus one.
I heard that I can use web2go at 9.99 a month for data. Can I use prepaid + Web2go on my new Nexus one? Or I must sign a voice contract to get the web2go?
I'm almost certain that you need a voice plan to get web2go. Doesn't require an actual contract (it can be month to month) though.
29.99 voice plus 9.99 data no contract
Unfortunately N1 is considered to be a smartphone and the web plan starts from $25 + 29.99 talk plan(500 minutes) or talk+text+web $59.99.
Freshest data, today went to talk to the T-Mobile store rep, cuz (Pakistani or India) over the phone customer service sux!!! LOL Hope it helps.

Don't tell T-Mobile you have a Nexus One. Do what I did and use an old Nokia or something to activate, with a web2go plan. Test it out, make sure all works.
Put the SIM in your Nexus, use the internet2.voicestream.com APN (*not* epc.tmobile.com), and you're all good with 'unlimited' 3G for $10 per mo.
If you do this, you can manage to get voice + data at $39/mo + taxes, etc of course. If you want unlimited txt, it'll be $49.
thanks a lot to all of you guys for the detailed info. seems that I need a voice plan to get web2go. Too bad that I don't really need the phone function a lot. But 39$ for both voice and data is not too bad.

I told tmo I had a razr and they gave me the $10 unlimited data plan.
From what I know of there Isn't a 10 unlimited plan its impossible... I would be on it, they might have given you a certain amount of mb for you to use and if you pass that, you get charged extra every time.

Not if you had tzones added on a non-smartphone before getting the HD2. I have the TZones internet as well that was added back when I had a Nokia phone
T-zone used to be $5 which used wap.voicestream.com in the past. I think the current T-zone is call Web2go and it's for $10; has restricted access to website. You can try using epc.tmobile.com, the new data access point. Please, tell me how it goes.
I Love the 10 dollar unlimited plan.
Ive been rocking this 10 plan on truly unlimited data for many, many months now.
All you had to do was sign up on my t mobile, select the shadow as your phone, go to edit your services, remove your internet, re-add unlimited web for phones 10 dollar option, wait 24-48 hours, manually enter APN internet2.voicestream.com
There you have it, will check to see if the option is still there, if you had it, you are GRANDFATHERED in FOREVER!! 4.5Mbps Download 1.4 Mpbs Upload on Unlimited 10 dollar plan, only works with the hd2 for the Hspa.
Plan not available anymore, 4G 200MB for $15 or an Unlimited 4G option for $30.
64.00 unlimited everything is very nice with this HD2 on Android, lol.
He's right it works..... But T-mobile doesn't give you that plan anymore... if you know someone with that t-zone phone buy him his phone and take over his plan.. lolol... it's best thing to do... Cuz all T-mobile internet APN works on 3G frequencies...
Cuz it's true that we don't need anything else these days... we can text, make phone calls and all that over the mobile data plans....(Google voice, SIP, Ect...) But companies Knows That..lol.. so now you can't buy a data plan by it self anywhere... Bastards trying to make money..lol...
Like me I have a sidekick data Plan Unlimited for 30 bucks (Unlimited 3g Data & Text) I have it in my HD2 with Android on it... with the sidekick APN (hiptop.t-mobile.com)
And the 3g and text works very good...
Those plans are not gonna come back..lolol...
So back to the original question on getting the mms with pics to work, has anyone got it to work?

I had the edge plan for $10 on my Iphone for awhile and it worked great. Tried to do it for my G1 and it would not work and then my iphone broke and I was without a phone so I had to give up the $10 unlimited data... I doubt I will be able to get it back ever. I had to fight with them to get the plan in the first place.
