How to get $10 tmobile internet data plan work with BH2 ?

[BurgDog]

You need to put your sim card in another phone that is phone first, such as the nuron, highlight, or many other older phones, that isnt labeled as a SMART PHONE.

As part of my troubleshooting for not getting 1.6 I master reset my BH2, put in my BH2 a brand new unused SIM card, activated the new SIM with tmo, modded the APN and was immediately using the $10 data plan I had previously set up. As long as the my.t-mobile.com account shows a non-android phone as phone of record, the $10 plan should be available.

Not just non-android, but also not one of tmobile branded windows mobile smart phone or blackberry

well a true man does admit when he is wrong.

I apologize for my wrong advice.

I suppose there is a bad way to get good internet.

Ah! You guys are amazing, just got this working on my Nexus One. Though now I have a quandary! I was going to buy my wife the Samsung Vibrant in a couple weeks, but now I'm tempted to buy another Nexus One off contract instead! It actually works out to be about the same price over a 2 year period given that the data plan is $15 less...

Yea the Nexus one is the other that works with the cheap data plans, its not officially a tmobile branded phone, so im sure thats why. But tmobile can restrict that with a push of a button, but guess they dont, so ride it out as long as you can.

Well guys, I will admit that I am wrong about this internet thing.

The $10 internet plan is just internet, no texting.

The $10 internet plan is just internet, no texting.

GEt google voice and all your calls are off minutes and all your texting free.

Anyone been having browser issues on Web2go or t-zones recently?

 

[eugenile]

nope, at least not with web2go. i tether all the time too. using cheap data plans is the only resaon i keep this phone

You guys are genious!!!!!!!!!! I have the 10 dollars t mobile slow internet plan and because i used 250 mb in 3 days they cut my data service. I almost called them obviously to get ripped off one more time , but you guys saved my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used the internet2.voicestream.com APN! Thank you very much guys!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kncha]

Guys do you need 3g to make calls with google voice? or i can use edge? Thanks.

 

[gigabyte0102]

Why change the proxy and port settings? It seems to work fine without doing that.

 

[j0hnh0lmes]

Confirmed. I used the internet2.voicestream.com.

 

[pimabread]

I have the LG Optimus I've tried doing this with no luck is my compatible with this?

 

[j0hnh0lmes]

This no longer works for me... I guess T-mobile is catching up.

My data service is not working either. Anyone else? Any suggestions for getting this to work again?

 

[j0hnh0lmes]

I was able to get it working again. Call t-mobile and ask them to remove you from the tower(flush). You'll have to turn your phone off & remove the battery then reboot. If they ask why just tell them you sometimes have issues receiving texts and that always fixes it.

 

[anabolina]

It still works for me, but I'm not sure for how much longer it will work. I had to call customer service about something and now when I log in, it seems my phone as a BH2. OTOH, my bill hasn't changed yet and I haven't had any connection issues, but I'm not a heavy user. I think I used 300 MB last month and am only up to 300 or so for this month too.

 

[creativeconsultinggroup]

wrong...soo..soo..wrong.

you know what i did? i walked in to tmobile, told them my phone fell in to the drink and that i need to change my plan abit. that im using an old razr and need to switch to just talk+text. they'll go ''okay!"

get home, call the tmobile customer service # on a diff phone than your behold 2, tell them the same story, and ask for the 10 a month internet
dont let ANY tmobile person tell you that you are 'stuck' with the internet. lol.

i've had the regular talk+text+web and now im on the 10 a month internet. the speeds to me are the SAME. its data over 3g/edge connecting to the internet.

done.

sometimes commonsense isn't so common. If it was everyone would have it. Good post!
