When I had my G1, I paid for my internet, just like anyone else would. Then I upgraded to a mt3g, and I gave my little brother my G1. I told him the internet wouldn't work because we didn't get him the data plan on his line. Didn't matter because we have wifi at the house. Then one day at the grocery store, he just tried going into the browser, and the internet worked. It worked for about a month until I flashed a different ROM, then it sadly went away.
I even called T-Mobile when it first happened to make sure that there was no data plan on his line, and I never got charged for the internet that he used on his phone. Pretty weird.
I remember when pay as you go plans had free data. It was an oversight by T-Mobile and was fixed within a month or two.

Hello
I have been using the 9.99 web2go data plan part of tmobile for about 3 months now and this morning it just stopped working. I wanted to see if it happened to anyone else, and what setting is everyone else using?
i tried:
internet2.voicestream.com
wap.voicestream.com
both didnt work and i tried to use a proxy with the wap.voicestream and didnt work as well
any help would be great!
I'm also using the mobile internet from T-mobile and don't have any isseu's with it.
what you could try is the connection setup maybe it will help. it is located in start>settings>connections
They also nailed me today. THey are forcing everyone without T-mo phones to the 24.99/mo plan. Jerks.

whats ur configurations, that you are using??? because i believe i tried everything that i know of and its not working for me...
Mine internet was setup automaticly witch connection setup
the settings of t-mobile internet looks as followd
General tab:
T-Mobile internet
Moden tab:
T-Mobile internet
Acces point name: Internet
The user name and password is empty
Proxy settings tab:
there is no proxy
could i aske you where you live. maybe its a local problem.
but if i'm must be honest the mobile internet of vodafone is much much better than the on of t-mobile. i used them both and the vodafones was much faster. but thats my experiance. now i'm using the 15 euro internt plan from t-mobile it is a little bit faster thatn the 10 euro.
Here in US, we need to put a Access Point name, but they want everyone to use the 29.99 plan, but there was a loop whole where you can use another plan but still get unlimited internet, but it seems that isnt happening anymore for some people ; (

Not at all. That used to be the case, but then there was a legitimate $9.99 internet/messages plan. It was just a $9.99 plan for a half-ass edge connection, which I was okay with. But they are trying to force us up to $24.99, STILL for a half-ass edge connection (because X1a can't connect to USA T-mobile 3G). I say we boycott.
my 4? dollar whatever it is plan still works haha. I've had this thing for like 6 years? 7? and mine still works fine.
Yes, my 9.99 tmobile data plan stopped working too just last night, called tmobile and they are positive that it's due to the upgrade of their pricing, 9.99 plan no longer work, at least for smartphones, to browse the whole web. they are pushing a 24.99 or even 34.99 plan. We say we boycott too!
that soo stupid... i havent called yet, but ill call later today and see what they say
T mo told me since i had a phone not from their network i would have to get the 24.99 data plan and the old one wouldnt work anymore. then seemed as if they were relectant to remove the 9.99 data plan. Whats the deal with that? i didnt change the rules you did!
I am in the same boat. Called and they say I have to pay $24.99. This sucks and I just joined tmobile.
I went online and canceled my 9.99 plan, and now I'm thinking of switching to AT&T 39.99 /mo + pay per MB ($2 per MB) internet. Then I would only use the internet if I absolutely need to. Unfortunately it's only 450 minutes/mo (but with rollover). Anyway, there's no way I'm going to spend $75 / mo for EDGE on T-mo. Ludicrous.
I hope others also ditch T-mo; this was a really underhanded thing they did, especially since we never got any kind of warning.
i may do the same thing, i havent had time to call them and complain about this
Good news, mine started working again today, this morning

i pay 15 dollars for my unlimited data with att ... im so loving this 3g.
I agree, same here, but did you check with tmobile again to confirm that they didn't automatically move us to the 24.99 price? That's the case I'm worried most. But I highly doubt it is so.
I am using T-Mobil's 9.99 TWeb plan and everything works great except for MMS i can receive picture messages but i can't send them. its very weird i didn't have that problem on my Htc Tilt. so i don't know if its a window mobile issue. it seems since i have been using flashed roms with 6.5 i have been having problems. i am going to flash back to original ROM and see what happens. if anyone is having the same issue please let me know, i really don't want to go back to Original rom!!
noob question. i tried searching for it but no luck. i cant seem to get at&t to except my x1a they say its not in there system. im in the us and i keep seeing people say there using att but how did you get it activated?

well there is no "activation" of the x1a on att.. just put an existing att sim card in the back and there ya go. x1a should do the rest of the setup for you. att knows i have x1a and they still only charge me 15 a month for unlimited internet.. muwahaha!
^^^ What he said, but don't forget to update to the newest firmware. My provider was not in the first firmware, but after I updated to R2A the phone configured itself automatically.
Yup, the X1 does the whole set up for you. All you have to do is insert the sim card, turn on the phone and it will automatically find all the settings for you. Easy as that! I would definitely update the ROM as Orelsi says. Unlimited Data is only $10 a month if you are on a family plan! MUAHAHAHHA.
ya but i dont already have an account with them and they sent me a phone i put the sim in my x1 and nothing happend. i called them and they said they couldnt find the phone so it wouldnt work. im sending the phone back. i dont need a 2 year contract and i dont know what to do from here
What the in the hell are you talking about dude. Your carrier will never be able to find out what phone you are using unless you take it to the store, show it to a representative/salesman and say "here is my phone"
What in the world are you talking about dude. Are you talking your online phone profile? The phone you pick for your profile doesn't matter. Your profile could be saying that you are using the LG Vu, and yet your actual phone is the Xperia X1. Is this what you're talking about?
how in devils name are you guys getting $10 unlimited data plan when mine is $30

Family plan baby! There is an option for an unlimited family data plan in att.com in which you have to pay only $10 a month vs. $15 if you are not in one. The $30 plan is a smartphone plan that AT&T is pushing upon you and isn't really required if you have a unlocked phone, so you could be spending $15/month instead!
My suggestion is that, if you have authorized access to change your plan try and do so, log on online @ www.att.com and change your plan from the $30 plan to the $15 plan. I don't know if you can do this if you are locked into your 2-year commitment, but you might as well and try anyways. Another way that I changed my plan was going to in-store and told the rep I had a SE 850i (any non smartphone will do) that is unlocked and wanted to get internet on it and they hooked me up with the non smartphone plan.

So, I've read that people were able to get 3g speeds on their 10$ internet plan using epc.tmobile.com . I have the web2go/phonefirst plan, internet2.voicestream.com works but it is only edge speed. When I try epc.tmobile.com, it says that I need to upgrade my subscription. Anyone know how to get the epc.tmobile.com to work?
No, that loophole was was filled awhile ago.
I guess it only works with the 5.99 tzones then? I am 100% sure on that...
im using internet2.voicestream.com and i have working MMS and FULL 3G connection with 3G speeds.
What is your download speed using speedtest.net app in kB/s? And also, how did you get your mms to work? I need help on that :\
Im on the $5 tzones plan.. Have been since nexus one launch... Works fie using epc.tmobile.com, im getting 2-3mbps downloads in most places. Also im not sure if they monitor bandwidth but use pandora A LOT and also tether
i am having issues with mms though. but i think it might be a problem with my rom cause it worked fine with vanilla 2.1

its not really screwing them over... fact of the matter is when the plans like tzones were offered, those were the internet plans of the time so anyone who has them has just had them grandfathered through with contract extensions and such... i payed for unlimited data then and i am paying for it now...

Paying less money for unlimited data is one of the many perks of being loyal to a company for as long as those grandfathered customers have, without giving in to the temptation of other carriers with more features and more capable phones. Besides, contract free, the data plan on T-Mobile breaks down to $10 for smartphones anyway.
YOU'RE stealing!
T-Zones works for me.
Tmobile knows I have a unlocked Nexus and they know my plan.
Everything works.

Hi, I've been using Web2Go on my N1 with T-Mobile for the past couple years along with my brother. Today, it stopped working for both of us.
Anyone else have this problem? If so, what solutions have you found for it? Thanks!
BTW we are both also on CM7 if that matters. We're using the internet2 APN.
Thanks again!
It stopped working for me too today.
I thought it was a CM9 thing....apparently its bigger than that
same here =[
family plan, my bro's N1 is still working though.

Stopped working for another line on my account too.
Had no choice but to call 611 and inquire. They said they will "Upgrade" me to the regular 200MB data plan with no overages and no additional charges.
I asked if they can give me the 2GB plan since they are changing my existing plan for their benefit, they couldn't do it. (They offered a 5GB plan for $25, i.e. $15 more)
Oh well, no market downloads over mobile and limited tethering for me... Looks like Tmo got hold of a majority of the Nexus One IMEI numbers.

same apn. internet2.voicestream
i'm hoping for some workaround
Stopped working for us as well.
Changed APN to wap.voicestream.com and its working again!
However, a lot of ports/sites are blocked. Can't access anything Google related, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.
I'm looking into SSH Tunneling to see if that would fix the problem.
After 2 years of the amazing N1, think I'm going to switch to HTC Vivid or Galaxy SII i777 sometime soon. Yeah, I know I'll only get EDGE for now, but I don't mind. Maybe later I'll get 4G (some signs of tmobile getting ATT bands, but mostly speculation).
mine died today, too. once i get a chance, i'm switching to simple mobile.
Stopped working yesterday in TX.
If I'm gonna pay full price for internet, might as well get me
phone that can handle 4G.
Just wanted to also chime in. I'm in TX as well and I haven't had data service for the past two days. It was nice having web2go for 2 years, but I'm going to move towards just not having a data plan anymore, go prepaid, and use a usb stick whenever I travel for data.
My only other option would be to try to jump onto the $30 / month walmart plan -- gah I'm so tired of cellphone companies.

That may be an option, but that's effectively a downgrade that makes me rather consider switching to (gasp) at&t.
The N1 I have stopped working with the web2go data plan too. Does any one have any solution for this? Was planning to upgrade to something else now

Did you try configuring it to use the old proxy that the wap apn used?
If you're going to get another phone, I'd check the hofo wiki. They have a list of phones that have 3G ("4G") on AWS but are compatible with tzones.
TMO will probably never get 1900MHz 3G all over, just in a few places.
So I've made my apn i want to use but the problem is when I select it it will go back to the original APN and I can't delete the original, anyone know a way around this ?

If it is reverting back to the original APN, then the one you're trying to use is no good, in my experience.

I'm still on the old iPhone plan (30 a month unlimited data)
That is what I had, the old grandfathered plan, you have been throttled for using more than 5G for the billing cycle. You can call and argue and be told that you still have unlimited data just at a reduced speed and they will try to move you over to the new shared plans. Which makes not sense because you can use all the shared and go over the 5G and not get throttled (they will correct you for using that word, so I called it crippled and finally retarded speeds to just piss them off), sorry for the rant. But I tried all the different apn and got nothing.
