Has anyone tried yet?
yep, works for me.
I got my HD7 earlier today, and so far everything works on my grandfathered 5.99 t-zones.
Hopefully this doesn't change.

Thank you! That's what I thought since Tzones also works on HD2. I am assuming same goes with the Dell Venue Pro.
I was about to make a new thread. Can anyone else confirm? Many thanks and enjoy your phones!
bump... anyone else can confirm this?
It's been confirmed on xda as well as tmonews forum. I guess it works!
So does it mean if I have a t-zones then I can use full web + email on hd7? I thought t-zones is only to use the t-mobile's online portal where you can see your account info, latest movies, etc? and does the t-zones account offer 3g speeds ?
Thanks !
For those who are using t-zone/web2go on the HD7, has there been any limitations so far?
1) Have you been caught?
2) Is it detectable via t-mobile.com under your tmobile account?
3) How are the speeds? Edge speeds?
I've been using it on my hd7 for the last three weeks. Great 3G speeds of about 4mb down. Edge speed is obviously slower but 3G coverage is great here in Austin so I'm never on edge.
Used tzones on my nexus, hd2 and now hd7 and never been caught.
Problem is of course they won't offer tzones anymore if you ask for it.
Tzones is the only reason I'm still with tmobile. 5 dollar full unlimited Internet per month is just unbeatable
FYI tzones is not the same as web2go. Web2go offers limitations and is only used for "dumb" phones. Tzones was the internet option offered back in the day like five years ago when smart phones didn't exist so people who had tzones then are able to use the internet just like the people who pay 30 dollars for the unlimited smartphone internet plan
Is t-zones still working with hd7?
Mine works perfectly with T-Zones.
When I bought mine at best buy there was a t-mo rep there that confirmed & I was like really? She said yes, it works with all smartphones, lol.
I guess it's one of those, as long as you don't change your plan, you should be fine kind of things.
Y'all are lucky.

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!!
Greetings all,
I keep hearing this web2go and internet2.voicestream.com plan, and I remembered having this awhile back before I switched to the new plan. Can anyone explain the difference between this and the 24$ unlimited data plan that T-Mo offers? is this limited internet? can you surf the net like you can with the unlimited data plan?
Is it true that you are limited to edge and 2g when you have tzone or web2go? I hear different stories from different people, so I wonder if any of you know the facts about this? I've searched for a bit, got a headache and decided to post the question here instead to save me some time. LOL
Thanks in advance for your replies!
They all route to the same servers.
They are brokedown by phone at the sales level.
On the tech level, they are all the same. Except the sidekick data, that one uses a different server altogether.
I can tell you for a fact you can have access to full 3g if you are grandfathered from the T-Zones Era. They ripped the wapping of data streams on their side a long time ago.
So if they are pretty much the same. Can we ( Nexus one users )use this then? Its a big difference in price. I had tzones but upgraded to the new plan, so does that mean I'm screwed?

More or less.
Your t-zones were grandfathered in. Once you upgraded they won't offer it again.
You could call and try weasel them into changing it back though. A couple of people have claimed to have managed it.
Thanks a lot bro. Ill see what I can do.

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.

I was looking to buy a HD7 (my HD2 died), and it looks like if I get a 2 year contract extension I can get one for $199 (after $50 mail in rebate). I currently use the $5.99 tzones, and it is not asking me sign up for a Web Service yet. This is what it actually says when I go to check out:
This phone requires a Web service in order to access the Internet, e-mail, and more. After you receive your new phone, you’ll need to visit My T-Mobile to add a Web service.
So, do you think that means that I can still use tzones? Thanks!
I'm assuming that your 5.99 tzone plan is grandfathered, correct?
Since you said that you are using your 2 year upgrade extension, I believe that tmobile will force you to upgrade to the 30 dollar data plan regardless if you buy it in store or online. The only way I know in which you don't have to buy the 30 dollar data plan is if you buy the the phone outright.
When I upgraded to my hd7, tmobile required that I have the 30 dollar data plan and not my grandfathered plan.
Yes, that is what I was talking about. It was just strange that the Tmobile website is not "forcing" me to chose the $30 plan until after I receive the phone.
Actually, when you order from the mobile website, at check out it will tell you which data plan you want; the 200mb or the unlimited..
I actually bought my HD7 from BestBuy & I had the $10 unlimited internet on the phone I had before I ugraded. When I bought my HD7 the guy was like, Oh! You already have the $10 unlimited internet, did you want to keep that or get the $30? I asked if it was going to stay unlimited & he said yes. So I kept it! There was a T-Mobile rep next to him & she said that the $10 one works with ALL smartphones.

u are lucky to get a rep who didn't add it without your permission.
I went ahead and purchased it and they never asked me to change my plan. I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way.
Just so you all know, I just received my phone. I did purchase through tmobile.com and did NOT have to upgrade my plan from tzones to the $30 plan. I received it today and it is working great!
Just a heads-up for those who want to upgrade to this phone w/ grandfathered t-zones... I went to bestbuy.com and chose upgrade for this phone and they only charged me $99 for the phone and only asked if I have a compatible data plan (which is t-zones of course) and had me check-out without forcing me the $30/$15 data plan - that was more than a month ago. T-zones has been working like a charm, letting me watch netflix and t-mobile tv without hiccups and of course all the other data requiring programs. Checking out my speed at "mobile speed test" downloading 2mb had me pegged at 6mbps in North Jersey area. I just got my bill and t-mobile just charged me $18 upgrade fee - and that's it. All the other services remain the same! I don't know if it's still working but for those who want to upgrade it's worth to try.
pierce97, can you confirm if T-zones is still working on your HTC HD7? Thanks.
My hd7 is still working with T-Zones... and whenever I visit mytmobile there's nothing on my data downloads even though I have been watvhing a lot of Netflix and Youtube!!!

Windows Mobile & Windows Phone Devices
July 21, 2011 - Okay...let me lay this to rest... Windows Mobile 5.x, 6.x devices have been accessing the Internet long before Apple, Android and Blackberry showed up on the scene; despite it now occupying less than 5% of the devices used; it remains legacy for any of us who continue to use the OS to include Windows Phone 7. There may be some loyal and longtime customers of T-Mobile using other devices; the general rule is if you are on a grandfather data plan like T-Zones and you're using a Windows device; you're good to go. Please note the web site says Web Service; it does not clarify what type as others devices does. I use a Rhodium and T-Zones performs perfect at 3G speeds where 3G is available. I plan to upgrade to the HD2 which multiple OSs to include WP7 can be flashed and continue with T-Zones; however I have talked to Tier 2/3...PDA/RIM support and have been told as long as you stick to Windows devices you may remain in T-Zones...whether it's unlimited, I don't care...I think data plans are reaching the realm of the ridiculous when it comes to prices...though I don't use mine as my main internet connection.
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.

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.
