I've been using Tmobile T-Zones for years for my internet. Had it for my Palm Centro, used it on my iphone, and used it for the past 6 months on my Nexus One.
For some reason now, this AM (also for a brief hour or so last week), Tmobile is not letting my T-zones work, telling me I need to upgrade my data plan.
Anyone else having this issue?
This is not a T-mobile contract Nexus, this is the full price unsubsidized one.
I have the $10 plan I got with a dumbphone and that still works for me. Is ur apn set to internet2.voicestream.com?

I was grandfathered in to the $6 T-Zones plan. I think this is the same thing as the $10 plan. Haven't changed the settings or APN but I'll check.
Addendum:
epc.tmobile.com is what I've been using all along. ? why they'd shut that one off and keep the other one going?
Idk that never worked for me. Then again I'm a new customer. epc one always took me to web2go page saying I need to upgrade. Hopefully they don't stop this one.

Crap, changed the apn to internet2 and still having the same issue. Rebooting, seeing if that does anything...
Maybe I'll pop the SIM into my iphone when I get back home to see if I still have the same issue.
Bah! Looks like it's nationwide.

One of the other forums had a guy from Yorktown, PA reporting it was still working, so maybe in your area it's still okay?

Sux for everyone else though.
That's an additional $19/month. Won't break the bank, but it was nice while it lasted. If it's a permanent block.
At least I may get faster speeds!

Yeah I'm in pa too. This is gonna suck. I'm getting 3.5mbps speeds with this already

Question, does it still work on your iPhone ?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Ok, all the forums report it's back and working again. I just tried and it is working. Did not make it home to try it on my iphone.
Apparently did not affect (at least that I could see) those who were on the $10 internet plan (what you have). My T-zones is $5.99, and all the posters I saw were on the same plan.
We'll see if this outage is intermittent or what.
Alright guys so reason why i opened this thread is because do to the fact that AT&T is nothing but a pure monopolistic (wants to control everything) company and as we are all aware there is no unlimited data plans, i have always wanted to know how to "Trick" if i may say, AT&T to thinking were using a so-called "Dumb Phone" thus vise versa a smartphone such as the good old Samsung captivate. I have read other threads about similar issues and achievements on using one dumb phone to activate there data and then switching there SIM to the smartphone but to be fully honest no one has posted steps or a how-to tutorial on how to do this precisely.
If you happen to be one of those that knows how to do this, can you be kind enough to share us your knowledge and post to us some happiness once and for all Thank you!!
unless you are willing to shell out 6-700 bucks for an inport/contract free smart phone, there is no way you can get away with that. your IMEI tells everything about your phone and they will know that you are using cappy.
And why exactly did you post this in the development section?
Just saying... there are some good threads going on here, and then you post this.

Not a development question.
Forum is busy enough already. Try QA or a general discussion forum.

I have been using a captivate without a data plan for the past 7 months. I used it for 1 month with the data and then I called up AT&T and told that I was not satisfied with the phone and was going back to my old [non-smart] phone. They removed the data plan of my line. I used that phone for about 2 weeks. In those 2 weeks, I made sure the captivate had no means of connecting to the internet other than wifi (i.e. turn off data, remove apns, remove any and all mms apps). This has been working for me for a while now. It may work for you.
NM 10 char
My wife had a non-smart phone with a non-smartphone dataplan.
She then got a captivate from a source other than AT&T.
Move the sim card from the non-smartphone into the captivate, and it worked great.
The next morning, in came a text message from AT&T "Hope you are enjoying your new smartphone. You may not have known that you need a smartphone dataplan for that phone, so we have moved you over to the 2-gig smartphone dataplan".
Might need hacking IMEI?
Yeah there isn't any way for that cause my brother had a dumb phone and then put his at&t sim to n70 and after a month at&t texted him that he's gonna get charged for the data plan..

did his n70 had changed imei to the dumb phone one's? to acheive this we need Dumb phone IMEI AND dumb phone user-agent, or just use the damn VPN.

Hey guys, new to the dell streak so just a quick question, I flashed the streakdroidnhoneycomb from from DJ_Steve though when I disabled wifi I don't have a internet connection and I have the tmo version so how can I get cellular data to work?
Sent from my streak7 using XDA App
If u search through the honeystreak thread you will find the tmobile apn's. you will need to add these to your apn list. After that it should work.
I'm super new to all of this and have been doing a ton of reading and going through posts. I'm sure this was covered somewhere and I missed it. I did the same thing here, and I got the 3g back, but it won't give me 4g. Is that normal or did I miss something when I put the APN's back in?
what are you talking about ? mine work with att and tmo

It just doesn't have the 4G icon; speeds ought to be the same (since T-Mo "4G" is really a boosted 3G, so it uses the same towers).
Thank you! That makes sense
I cant seem to find the apn in the thread can you post the apn settings here?
Long story I'll make it short. My friend ask for my help on his Samsung galaxy s from t mobile original.
his wife had it and she got the s2 and sold the phone to a family member in Brazil. they couldn't get it to work with there network and sent it back to them. So he kept it for himself. Now when he starts the phone it say telsa (something like that) Instead of t mobile. he can only make and receive calls maybe text but he gets no 3g internet at all. I looked in the apn and a t mobile apn is there.
Can anyone help. He knows nothing about how to do this. I have a motorola atrix so I have an idea. If anyone can tell me how to get this back to t mobile it would be great.
Thanks in advance

Is the t-mobile apn selected? Check if the settings are correct for your carrier.

apn was selected. checked the setting in the apn and matched it to couple i saw online. But I saw one difference. MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0 is not on the apn thats on the phone. I tried to make a new apn but MMS Protocol is not there. Also I just found out that even though it says galaxy s on the back of the phone he told me its the 3g version which is the vibrate from t-mobile. So I might have posted this in the wrong section.
could they have put a different baseband like one for telsa maybe thats why it doesn't work for t-mobile
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.

is he using a different apn? If he is, please share
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

Only thing you can do is swap to a plan that work.

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.
