I have T-Zones currently and want to keep it if I go to a HD2.
First, can someone verify that it indeed does work?
How is the best way to make SURE I don't lose it.
I'm on a family plan and some of the phones have no data plan, if that would help.
No response at all?
t-zones should work on unlocked hd2. Not sure about t-mobile version of hd2.
Yes
Yes it will work with HD2.
Works on T-mobile branded HD2 as well.

It will work, but to get an HD2 requires a data plan from T-Mobile, either $15 (200 Mb per month), or $30 (unlimited download).
Once you have pure internet, why use T-Zones?
If you upgrade to an hd2 they will make you buy an internet plan and take off your tzones. Your best bet is to buy T-Mobile hd2 off of Craigslist or ebay

Just wondering does this still work for anyone? Currently have a HD2 with Android (Bought HD2 off craigslist), and asked a rep. and he said no such plan exists. Any input from any of you guys?
I still use tzones but I got tzones a while back so I'm not sure if they still offer it

as they all said...it was grandfathered however you can try and get their web2go plan which was $9.99. you'd have better luck if you used to have it then cancelled it but try giving customer care a call.

I think they are still offering web-to-go (we got it last year for my wife's phone), but not on smartphones - they require a "premium" web plan of $15 or $30 per month.

Yeah it was available.... "LAST" year as in 2010... but it's all gone now. I think you're referring to the $9.99 "dumb phone" unlimited data plan.
T-Mobile has a new system now. All their data plans are "unlimited" but you only get 3G/4G access up to your paid quota, after that they throttle your data speeds to mind crippling speeds. Not sure how much they cripple you but at least there's no overage data charges......
Call retention to get web2go or tzone
does tzones work on locked HD2?
someone said that tzones worked on US branded hd2 but what if it's locked? Does it matter?

someone said that tzones worked on t-mobile branded hd2 but what if it's locked as in it was bought with a contract and not paid in full retail? Does it matter? I'm asking this because I trying to buy a used HD2 off craigslist and most of them were bought by contract.

Actually, on the $15 per month plan, you get 2 gb, and then they charge you for each extra 2mb (as I recall, it may be 1 mb) - $1.99 per unit.
EDIT: At least, that is what I was told by CS when considering changing to $15. I actually run just over 2Gb per month, so I stayed on the unlimited.

These changes bring absolutely no overages to T-Mobile customers although customers will be dropped to 2G speeds when they hit their monthly allotment.

Yeah that's the old plan.... a quick visit to T-mobile.com would of shown you this as well. They launched the plan this week brand spanking new. I don't know why the CS would tell you about a plan that no longer exists.......
edit: Never mind..... stingy T-mobile. Apparently you can only get those new data rate plans if you're a new customer or renew for another 2 year contract.

Locked? You're using a T-mobile phone on the T-mobile network.... you're seriously confused.
"Locked", means that it's sim locked to T-mobile. It's to prevent you from using the phone with any carrier other than T-mobile.
Tzones
I have had t-zones data plan for years, upgraded to hd2 from t-mobile online, they didn't require me to get a new data plan and the t-zones plan works great on my hd2 - windows mobile or android - $5.99 / month.
Hello, I've been having problems with my HD2 running Androids. I currently have the $10 data plan which works perfectly fine with the apn on internet2.voicestream.com

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?
Gigabyte01
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.
As per android Centrals Findings today,
According to the memo, the data tiers for 4G are the same as the 3G plans, namely $15 for each 200 MB or 2 GB for $25.00 (with $10 per GB overage). This means unlimited data in no longer an option, because you will have to change plans. We have no idea how this will affect customers with unlimited data grandfathered in who buy a phone off-contract and just drop their SIM card in, but I would imagine AT&T can tell with a little bit of auditing.

Lol @ AT&T. Instead of attracting customers after losing the iPhone, they scare off existing ones. First $500 for Atrix dock, now the stupidly overprives $25/2GB data.
And that after the first Atrix reviews that showed that AT&T's "4G" is actually slower than their 3G. Oh yeah, awesome upgrade.
Rephrasing the famous phrase.. "Enough is enough. I've HAD IT with these MOTHERF***ING policies on this MOTHERF***ING AT&T."
So far it's either VZW or TMo for me. Since I travel a lot, most likely TMo with their unlim data plan, when Pyramid comes out.
i've been in contact with at&t.
they have stated that i can bring my grandfathered unlimited data plan over along with a new 2 year contact agreement if i decide to get the atrix.
if i want to tether, i would need to change my data plan.
this is from an online chat. and who knows, maybe this policy will change in the upcoming days.
i have seen this mentioned on a number of other forums. apparently grandfathered plans are fine.
so nothing really changes...
Androidandme is reporting (I'd link directly, but can't do it yet) that an AT&T rep has contacted them to clarify the 4G policy:
We were just contacted by a representative from AT&T who saw our post about the leaked 4G policy memo, and wanted to clarify a very important point about their new 4G plans. I quote:
Customers who currently have an unlimited plan can upgrade to a 4G device and keep their unlimited plans.
They did not dispute the validity of the leaked memo, but they were kind enough to tell us a part of the story that the original leak missed. So put away those pitchforks. Thanks for the clarification AT&T!

So, yeah: no need to panic.
I wasn't lucky enough to be grandfathered into the unlimited plan. I currently have the $15 200mb for my Samsung Captivate. Assuming I upgrade to the Atrix, am I going to have to pay an additional $15 to get 200mb of 4g, making the total for data $30 for 400mbs?

I couldn't agree more! I'm so glad that I overpaid for unlimited back when I didn't use much data. Still, $90/mo for two lines of unlimited data and unlimited messaging is a lot, so glad that AT&T announced unlimited mobile to mobile so I can drop my minutes!
I'm never leaving AT&T until another carrier gets real unlimited data. Good things cell execs underestimated how much data we can use!

I've been grandfathered in on the unlimited plan for quite some time now. When I got my Captivate last July, the sales rep tried to convince me I HAD to change my data plan to the new pricing scheme. Thankfully, it ain't happen.
Even if you went somewhere else, almost all the operators are moving to this type of plan.
2Gigs of data is quite alot, unless you are using it for your main internet connection for your house. I've been on the 2Gig plan for about a year now, and I rarely go above 600-700 meg with lots of audio streaming (sirius/xm, pandora) and Uverse TV to go, and some tethering from time to time.

Negative. Featurephone/dumbphone unlimited data doesn't transfer over to smartphones. The only way I could see to get around that is to buy a phone off contract and pop your SIM card in it. You'd probably have to hack the phone to have it report as something else, though, otherwise ATT would catch it.

ATT is selling this type of data plan with the new ATRIX, what kind of impact could this have on us UNLIMITED 'Grandfathered' users that were thinking about buying the phone outright?
if i put my 3G card in, am i gonna get hosed? is ATT going to automatically try and switch my data plan to the 'required' plan for the 4G phone? even though i bought it outright? am i possibly going to have to fight to get the 'GFD' plan back after?
i know its all speculation at this point because the actual phone isnt out yet, but my gut tells me we might not like the answer...
I was wondering about the same thing, but I don't think we have to worry right now, I intend to get it then use it and in a month check, should they mess with me, I'll pull the information straight from their website with a datestamp that I printed stating that Grandfathered in gets to keep their plan. It really would be as simple as letting me keep it or I'll take my company off AT&T.

I was able to "upgrade" to the Atrix and i checked the option that said "I do not want to make changes to my data plan" since i am grandfathered in as truly "unlimited".
I dont expect to see any changes once i put my SIM card in. They relaxed their "grandfather" clause a little recently and im guessing what i experienced is exactly that. before they FORCED you to change your plan. Now you have an option.
For people with unlimited plans, you can still keep it, it becomes an option on the data plan picker that only someone with an unlimited plan can see. And yes it is 4g ready. And no it doesn't cost any more money.
/thread
It is not a problem at all.
All you have to do is swap the sim. cards and you are good to go. Your plan does not change at all and AT$T isn't going to penalize you.
They are losing 16% of their customers do to the iphone switch.
Yeah it won't be a problem switching from 3g to 4g unlimited ...I recently purchased the inspire all they did was change the code for the plan in the system for me,vi popped my sim card in and have hspa+ unlimited

I have a tangential question.
I know going over 2GB adds 1GB for $10 on Data Pro. But what if you exceed the 150mb on the Data lite? Does it auto bump you to 2GB and Data Pro for the month?
If you have the unlimited data theres a new HSPA+ version of the unlimited plan that your moved to
in regards to the $15 plan its actually 200mB, not 150, if you go over your charged another 15 for another 200, if you go over that your billed another 15 for 200 more and so forth
Lastly if your buying a device like the Atrix your a moron to think 200MB for an entire month is going to cut it, in my opinion that plan shouldnt even be offered
Hehe, so they charge you another $15 for 200MB but on the other plan its $10 for 1GB? Terrible.
I agree with you a 200MB plan likely wont get you anywhere unless you are covered by wi-fi everywhere you go and otherwise don't use data almost at all.
Also, how does tehthering work if you have a grandfathered unlimited plan? And could you not just root and use thethering without having the tetherming plan? Say if you were on the 2GB plan.
Ive never quite understood the covered everywhere by wifi don't have wifi driving or everywhere that you travel, unless you never leave the house
If you want tethering, officially through ATT you have to get the 45 dollar 4gb plan, and lose the unlimited
An app like PDAnet would be a solution for tethering to keep the unlim plan and you dont even need to be rooted to run it
I still have my unlimited data and my Inspire

lol you're absolutely insane if you believe that to be true. Every business analyst website worth its money on the internet is saying Verizon didn't make much of an impact with the release of the iPhone4. They sold a lot of iPhones...but an estimated 90% of them were to people that were already Verizon subscribers. The 1 million iPhones that they keep quoting was *ONLY* to pre-orders made by Verizon customers.
Also, it has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. AT&T already said before the phone was announced they would move grandfathered unlimited plans ahead with new contracts (same thing happened with their last launch).
I'm glad to hear that AT&T is allowing us to keep our grandfathered unlimited plans. I've been planning on moving up to Android with the Atrix but was dreading losing my unlimited data plan that I've got on my current iPhone 3G.
If everything works out like everyone here is saying then it looks like I'll get to have my cake and eat it too.

I asked ATT about a "4g plan", and to their knowledge it does not exist. There is a 25/month (or 15/mo if you are on the 200 mb) data plan. period. It doesnt matter if you are 3g or 4g or justin beiber 6g. Its all the same price and the same plan... for now.
Alright thanks lemme know any updates

FALSE. I got my wife the inspire 4g, and yes, the rep changed her from unlimited data(captivate) to unlimited 4G data(inspire, atrix etc.). So yes, you do have to make a switch to "4G." Try taking your sim card straight from your captivate, or any other 3g phone and put it in the atrix, you can make calls and text, but no data connection.

Did you get the Inspire 4G before AT&T relaxed their "Unlimited Grandfather in clause"? If o, that may have been your problem. Recently (2 months or so) they have said that if you have real unlimited plan and upgrade, you can keep your plan. You dont have to change. This is different to what they were saying when the iPHone 4 came out. Get iPhone 4 and you NEED to change your plan.
Also in regards to just putting in your SIM card into an Atrix, Do you have one? Did you try this? Or are you basing this on your Inspire experience?
No dice on keeping "unlimited" plan!
My current ATT Blackberry Data plan is "unlimited" and shows up like this on the Premiere site:
GPRS WAP/BBRY UNLTD DOM - BBUB
I called to confirm that I would be able to keep my n=unlimited plan and they told me that it would be changed to the 2gb-$25 4G plan immediately upon power up of the Atrix... AND that I could not go back to the unlimited plan even if I return the Atrix within 30 days!
Is the above one of the "grandfathered" plans? And if so, how is everyone else here managing to keep their plan?
Not sure if you all knew, which most probably did and I'm just stupid. But Tmobile introduced a new plan on 5-23-2011 that caps and throttles you at 10GB instead of 5GB. I found out about this from a friend who recently was shopping for a new carrier and a store rep had said it was available. I just called Tmobile and sure enough they now offer it as well as a 2GB with overages. Heres the link for reference:
http://mobile-broadband.t-mobile.com/plans
Only problem from what I can tell is you need to sign a new agreement. So any grandfathered plan you might currently be on goes out the door. That was a deal breaker for me as I love my 5 faves! For now anyways. I know I personally hit the 5GB limit once and got close a couple other times so I am still considering my options. At least we can include this as another one now though
I have an unlimited (real unlimited) plan so, they keep trying to get me to change the plan ........... but NOOOOOOOOO WAY........ Nice to know, a 10 gig plan is really a decent size

Because we are on T-Mobile? >.>
Plus Verizon is getting rid of their unlimited plan, AND adding family data sharing plans, so it's even worse lol.
Sure you get grandfathered in, but T-Mobile 3G > Verizon 3G, LTE will get slower as more phones/tablets are released, so I'd rather stick with a carrier I know is reliable, fast, and cheap. ^^

I agree, from what I understand Verizon is implementing a tiered plan system also with the release of their IPhone5 and "Bionic". Of course as with any carrier if ur in a situation where ur getting a "grandfathered" plan usually its gonna be better than whatever their offering you in some way. Their just offering one thing to try to lure you away from what you already got. I just posted this for those that are not on a true "unlimited" plan and do get throttled at 5GB. A higher cap is something I personally was hoping for after being throttled my first time.
I thought that my grandfathered plan with the my faves was better until I started looking at what I really use. I had a my faves plan with 1800 minutes and unlimited data. (BTW those old unlimited data plans cap high speed at 2GB not the 5GB that most are thinking, then you are throttled)
I ended up changing to the unlimited talk text and data (with the 5GB cap on high speed per line) and saved about $25 a month. (family plan)
They are all unlimited data plans, the only difference is that they are not putting the high speed cap in the fine print any longer, It's there as bold as can be.
I use about 3.5GB a month and my wife uses about 2.5 GB a month so paying for anymore high speed that I need didn't make sense.

I use around 7-8GB a month (and I WAS on the 5GB plan, so I'd get capped every month, and just deal with the EDGE like speeds), and these new plans that they offer are amazing. 10GB plan now, and I won't get capped every month. ^^

I started looking at this too. We are on 1800 family plan, fave 5, unlimited texts, w/family allowances. In the past 3 months neither my wife nor I have used more than 1.3 gb. Can make the same switch (though 2gb), upgrade our daughter from a feature phone to an android with unlimited minutes & texts + 2gb and pay the same or a few bucks less each month

Right now im at 13GB, haven't been capped even though I got the text message saying so. Last month was the same. Didn't get throttled.
