hi guys
i got my service with t-mobile last week, and ordered the $9.99 unlimited
internet, first thing when i open
opera redirects me to m.web2go.com and says "Subscription Required" and the rest of the internet apps wont work.
the guy told me that this service only works with very basic phones like a
motorola razr v3..
but i got the service anyways, thinking that i may find trick that i can
cheat the system, well so far i havent found anything..
what i'm thinking is that i might have to change the firmware/hardware info
so the system would think i'm a basic phone not a smart phone and it would work.
i'm using the Energy "Leo" 21892 ROM, not unlocked sim phone.
--
i've heard that people with iphones cheat the system very easy
i know i'm not the only one with tp2 with tmobile trying to use their
$9.99 service.. hope we make clear a solution that would help
other users too.
i would apreciate any kind of help and might buy you a BEER hehe
Go into connection settings and edit the connection for T-Mobile Data.
And then change it to internet2.voicestream.com
I use it all the time. 3G.
wow, fast reply, how do i proceed to do that using
this ROM: Energy "Leo" 21892 ?
step by step, i just installed it
Alright.
Click on your settings folder.
and click connections
After that, click connections
And then it'll say T-Mobile Data.
Add
Set up
Manage.
Click on Manage, and then click on edit for T-Mobile Data and put in
internet2.voicestream.com
Let me know if I missed a step
wow it did work!!
now i have the following questions:
by doing this am i getting bandwith that a 3g for smartphone ( $29.99 ) gets?
is there any cheaper way to get a talk plan, i picked the 500 minutes/Month
and i dont think i'll ever be able to use all of them..
can i get the $9.99 with prepaid phone?
--
i used the app called wi-fi router, routes my data internet to my laptop via wi-fi that's amazing.. compared to the rip-off montly service to get your own mobile broadband card that goes up to 50 dollars a month with verizon/sprint/att
Since you have unlimited internet, just go ahead and get rid of talk plan and download Skype. You can have unlimted talk (US & Canada) for only $2.95 a month to landline and mobile phones. But if you also want a number of your chosing then you'll have to pay an extra $3 a month along with it. However, they do not have caller ID for unknown numbers (cost extra), unless they are already added to your contact list. Mobile Skype feature still needs to be worked on, but if your not interested then I hope you can find another way to get cheaper talk plan on tmobile itself.
I got two free TP2s from T-mobile with activation two months ago using the WMDeals special. Currently, I've got a 1500 minute plan with unlimited messaging, and two smartphone internet plans. Total is about $180 a month.
Can I call them and change the smartphone plans to $9.99 internet plans or how does that work?

I got a discount on my TP2, and part of that discount is that I use a certain data plan. They won't let you cancel that if your phone was discounted.
also, instead of using skype...
can i use google voice?
also... i have the even more plus plan...
$30 for 500 min... $10 web2go plan...
how do i go about dropping the $30 portion and converting to google voice/skype? they will drop it if i call them and ask?
This 9.99 service is called "internet for phones" yes? Does anyone know if this 9.99 monthly charge includes tethering?

Google voice is just a call forwarding service that reroutes your calls to any numbers you want. It does not work like skype.
would this be possible for at&t as well?

Anybody know the answer to this question?
I tried tethering with wmwifirouter with this $10 plan on my TP2 but it didn't work. Not sure if there is a way around it or you just need $30 data plan.

You didn't get the best deal then..
I got that deal too and got 3 TP2s WITHOUT DATA OR TEXT plan. You really just need to know how to talk to the reps.
I did it again for someone else WITHOUT DATA, but had to get text.
Your chance realistically of lowering your data plan is SLIM, because they will ese you have a smart phone.
You have to pull some tricks to do that.. if you wish to know more, simply reply to this thread.

Im using a Tilt 2, use to have $15 data ATT plan, now using the $10 ATT plan. If you want to know more simply reply to this thread.
No longer working?
I tried this "internet2" thing a couple of months ago and it worked. I have since read some comments on the Net that it was no longer working. I just tried it again (even though I have the normal data plan and don't need it). I cannot connect to the internet with these settings.
I wonder if T-Mobile figured it out and cut out support? Maybe they can read forums...
does this apply to tmobile hd2?
I am using the 5.99 plan on my tp2. I just use epc.tmobile.com instead of the internet2. Still works. I was thinking of going to Sprint for the Evo but I was reading of the speeds possible with HSPA+ and I think I am just going to wait it out to get a phone possible of those speeds. I might get an HD2 from someone off of Craigslist just to hold me over.
Anyone able to use the $10 unlimited medianet plan or are you forced into the smart phone 2 gb plan?
My nexus arrives tomorrow and I'm on the medianet plan on my gs2 and was hoping to keep it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep, you'll be able to keep your $10 unlimited with your Galaxy Nexus on AT&T. That's what I'm doing and have been doing since my Galaxy S2 International version. Still get HSPA speeds too, roughly ~4 mbs download and ~1 mbs uploads. Enjoy it!
You may or may not get to keep the $10 medianet unlimited. If you did, then consider yourself lucky.
Back when I had my Nexus One they switched me to the $30 smartphone unlimited a few days after changing from a dumbphone.
So far I've been able to keep my media net plan. We'll see what happens over the next few days
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Thanks for the info guys. I've been considering making the move but would only do so if I can keep my $10 MediaNet unlimited plan.
If you guys wouldn't mind to keep us updated in the next few weeks it would be really helpful.
Happy Holidays!
Any luck keeping the $10 unlimited media net? I am hearing conflicted reports, and seems like a lot of misinformation out there. Some folks saying their friend's friend got switched, others saying its still good.
If they do catch you and switch to a smartphone data plan, is there a way to get AT&T to let you retain unlimited but at the $30 rate instead, or do they force you to the $25 2GB plan?
Fingers crossed, but I'm on day 4 of using the medianet plan. I'm using the Cingular 410 apn, and getting roughly 7mbps download speeds when in good coverage areas.
Any updates? I don't want to drop my unlimited smartphone plan for this only to find out they'll switch me to the 2GB plan

If you were grandfathered in to the unlimited smartphone plan you will be able to keep it, the reason why they won't is because they will lose money

nono, once you get rid of the grandfathered plan (for example, switching to medianet), you can't get it back - unless you do the iPhone 2G trick
I'm still on the $10 plan. They haven't sent a text message/email yet. My billing cycle ends on the 22nd, so we'll see if there are any changes then.
As far a I understand it, since I am technically using a data plan that is not compatible with my phone, they CAN and WILL switch me to a 2Gb plan for my smartphone, and take away my unlimited. They can do this because they don't technically offer the unlimited data for smartphones plan anymore (only for grandfathered accounts), so they can't bump me to that one. Since I would be switching from non-smartphone to smartphone, I wouldn't be considered grandfathered.
I'm sure I could call and complain and get them to do it anyway, but I understand their reasoning. It just sucks.

My billing cycle ended on the 22nd, and I am still on the $10 media net plan. Still using the Cingular APN.
Good luck.
Hopefully you can continue using $10 data plan.
I wouldn't risk it of you use a lot of data and are currently on the $30 unlimited data.
I heard some Samsung galaxy note people losing their unlimited $30 cause AT&T system thought they were using a tablet device instea of a phone.
So far no issues on the media net plan. I haven't went over 2 gb though yet
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I have been using that plan since i had a HTC tytan 2 - nexus 1 and now the Galaxy nexus... no problems... high speeds...
I had the $10 medianet plan and got switched to the $30 unlimited plan too about a month (one billing period) after putting the sim into my Nexus One.
Either way I think you'll be able to keep the unlimited once your grandfathered in no matter what. Price might go up though :/
Good luck!

I tried out both the wap.cingular APN and the PTA APN and it seems like the PTA APN consistently had lower ping and higher speed than wap.cingular.
Not sure if I want to give up my unlimited LTE data plan right now (I'd lose access to pta)
Hey guys,
First off I'd like to just recognize the XDA forums and its members for all of your help over the past few years as I've been rooting, unlocking, and troubleshooting my android devices. I started with the T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur), T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, Sprint HTC Hero, Sprint Galaxy Tab (Original 7-inch), and now happily using my unlocked and rooted Verizon Galaxy Nexus running AOKP M5.
Anyway, i recently was on the phone with Verizon to bump up my data plan to the 10GB / month deal for $50. We ended up bullshitting a bit about how old unlimited plans are going away with upgrades, and how people want true, unthrottled, unlimited data. Now I don't know how much truth there is in this, or if she was maybe just trying to get my hopes up, but she mentioned that in the near future verizon is going to launch a truly unlimited family data plan.
Has anyone else heard of this? Now this was only a tier 1 customer service representative, and I know I've heard a lot of people mention how the tier one people are not given any information about upcoming promotions like this. But it makes me think that maybe if there is any truth to this, other customer service members must know of it too, and possibly have told other curstomers.
So i was wondering if anyone other than me has heard anything? And if Verizon was to release an "Unlimited" data plan (family or per device), do you think it would end up being throttled?
If they were going to release an unlimited plan why would they bother removing the current ones?
I think its full of crap... Verizon is trying to get ppl to leave the Unlimited plans just like AT&T... recently Verizon said announced that ppl on unlimited were going to be forced out of it. But with so many petitions going around Verizon decided "fine u can keep your unlimited data plans but when it comes to upgrades, you'd be forced to pay the phone at retail price" ..... I personally never get upgrades from carriers... I'm on AT&T and I haven't upgraded my line in about 4 years. Bought the Nexus One .. went for the Nexus S ... and Now The Galaxy Nexus... but if what the lady says is true then my guess is that Verizon doesn't have enough ppl on the 4G network soooo perhaps this Works to there advantage. And of course there will always be a Throttle. =P

Because it's a grandfathered plan that CDMA customers got for a relatively inexpensive monthly fee. And I don't believe they are doing away with the plan for CDMA-only customers, as that "problem" should automaticaly take care of itself in just a few generations of phones. I've always thought that it was just a matter of time before they stoped offering their loyal long-time customers unlimited LTE service for the same low monthly rate they've always paid. Othewise tens of thousands of people would be using it for their home internet service as the LTE network grows. I'm sure many folks already are.
I'm only speculating, but the "Unlimitied Family Data" concept does sound feasible. But I'll bet it will cost more than twice what the grandfathered customers are now paying for it. Perhaps significantly more.

Well, i know that currently i believe there are only per device unlimited plans. What I've heard is that those plans will be switched to a tiered data plan if you are still on 3G and upgrade to a 4G LTE device.
What the Verizon lady was saying is that they will bring back unlimited as a Family Plan add-on, so that you can pay, say $100 (total guess), and get truely unlimited data on every device on your plan.
For me, this would be great, because everyone on my plan uses at the very least 4GB of data a month. This adds up to be about $150 in data plans across all the devices. If we could consolidate our data plans to one family plan wide "plan" then we could save alot of money, and use as much data!

I know it probably wont happen due to the proprietary 4G LTE technology, but it would be great to see Google offer unlocked 4G LTE nexus devices directly (on the play market). I would LOVE to pay google directly for their device at a slightly higher price, and not have to worry about voiding warranty or contract by modding my phone. Plus id love to get the actual google back cover for my GNEX, instead of that ugly Verizon stamped one...
How many years must i wait for truely unlimited data so i can use my device and the internet the way it was meant to be used!?!?

I don't see why they'd be bringing back unlimited data when they haven't offered it to new subscribers for quite a long time now. They've clearly expressed that they want to launch family data plans, but I doubt they'd be unlimited. It goes against the direction they've (and other carriers) been pushing.

You must have not read your contract, which clearly states unlimited data on your phone, not unlimited data on every device you choose to connect to your phone.
I suggest taking the time to read your entire contract so you can find out everything you are doing that is clearly not covered by the agreement you signed with Verizon.

Funny, I don't recall anyone asking for your opinion on this... i thought this thread was on the possibility of unlimited data coming our way.
OMG the world will end because people like me share internet to their computer! Do you guys realize that your on a website that specializes in stuff like, hmmmmm, wifi tethers? I understand their is a whole mess of more complicated things here, but honestly.... quit being so old fashioned. times are changing more and more each day. soon only big businesses will have data from the wall and everything will be wireless.
Also, why would they give us the ability to wifi tether if they didn't want us to use our data for it?
Inb4 "that's why they charge extra for tehtering", maybe the people who do that actually paid for the official service?
*edit*
I'm an unlimited 3g user. I use wifi and Bluetooth tether, but only when I am in a place that doesn't have its own wifi or if my home wifi is acting up. Not all unlimited tetherers are bad. Besides, I pull in FAR more data streaming my music with Google Play Music.

The extra charge just for the ability to tether is BS! Just because i dont throw $40 a month to verizon to pay for a tether, doesnt mean im stealing data. I pay for the data no matter what. So what i use that data for and what device i use that data on should be totally up to me.
Can I add a family member to my Verizon Unlimited Data plan & get them unlimited too?
My cousin loves my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and she wants to get one too, but Verizon doesn't have unlimited data anymore.
Has anyone tried adding someone to their family plan to get unlimited data?
She currently has the iphone 4s from AT&T and it's slow as hell and the screen is tiny!
Not possible. Adding someone now means they have to be added under the Share Everything plans. They're not giving unlimited to any new lines or after upgrades.

no. you have the choice, you can do either the share everything OR give them a tiered plan and everything else on the plan stays the same.

Verizon and AT&T are not feeling threatened by T-Mobile and Sprint unlimited data. Postpaid subscribers are at an all time high and churn is at an all time low for both companies. As much as you think it's going to affect the market, it's going to take a lot more than T-Mobile offering unlimited data for Verizon and AT&T to start seeing customers leave.

Unless carriers like Sprint and TMo somehow manage to expand their network immensely then VZW and AT&T will not feel threatened. At that point Sprint and TMo would eventually moved to tiered plans as well since more people would move over eventually.
I'll leave Verizon after my contract if I can't get a nexus on Verizon in 2014. In a perfect world I could buy an unlocked nexus from Google and use it on vzw. Maybe in 2014 they'll offer this.

I like your optimism, but don't hold your breath. Verizon and at&t have no incentive to offer unlimited plans. More people are getting smartphones, which means more network traffic, which means investing more money into infrastructure and less profit.
we were talking today about this at work. I am on a plan with my brother who has Unlimited data with Verizon and I have a 2GB plan till DEC 2014. My co worker says he still has unlimited data and he recently added his wife to his plan. She did not upgrade a phone and just got on his plan. He said they added her, she got a new number and was using a phone that wasn't brand new now. I am wondering when my plan comes up in DEC if I can do the same with my brother and he can add a line and give me unlimited data. Any thoughts out there??
Hey all. I've been using Straight Talk with an ATT SIM but I'm tired of getting throttled for no reason. I want to switch to a plan with ATT. I would use roughly 2-4 GB a month and prefer unlimited talk and text. Any ideas on a good plan or deal?

although you wont be throttled in speeds, you'll be throttled in the wallet as a major carrier is usually going to cost double or more.
currently, an AT&T individual plan with 450 minutes, 3gb of data and unlimited texting is $90 before tax
a mobile share plan with unlimited minutes, unlimited texting and 4gb of data is $110 before tax
i have at&t. just want you to understand the cost difference

Re: Best ATT plan?
I appreciate the quick response. Yeah, I know the price is gonna suck but honestly I have a tough time trusting ST anymore. They literally told me my plan was throttled because I use FB and Twitter. When I was on Sprint I used maybe 5gb a month. Came to ST and started off using around 2 but for throttled. They have me down to 1GB a month and I STILL get throttled. I don't stream anything and only use a few mb a day. They have a new "department" now for high data use subscribers. Its a voice recording telling you how to minimize your data use. That's it. My plan renewed and it went right back to 200k down. I'm ready to pay more so I can actually use my data for more then just a quick web browse. The price is great but they're so unclear about their policies and its impossible to find someone there who actually knows what they are talking about. Pay for what you get I guess.

And don't forget, it's $10 for every Gb you go over your data plan

Hey all. I've been using Straight Talk with an ATT SIM but I'm tired of getting throttled for no reason. I want to switch to a plan with ATT. I would use roughly 2-4 GB a month and prefer unlimited talk and text. Any ideas on a good plan or deal?

As mentioned before there are several options with AT&T, but they come with a price tag. If you want unlimited talk and text and a limited data then mobile share is the way to go. If you have family, or family members who you trust will pay their share of the bill, you can add lines and spread out the costs SOME. There is no right or wrong choice...it is dependent upon you and what you want and/or need. Keep in mind that you can tie into AT&T wireless areas as part of the plans so you can help limit some data usage.
