T-zone hack for G1 (free net basically)
got it from another forum for those intersted
As many may know, there has been a hack for a long time that has allowed T-Mobile Customers to add the "T-Mobile Web", formerly known as "T-Zones" data to their account for $5.99 per month and connect to it through a proxy and access the normal internet, but with some port and application restrictions. I have been using this hack for a while on my T-Mobile Shadow and then an unlocked ATT Tilt. I purchased a G1 from ebay, thus was not forced into a data plan contract or the 2 year contract renewal. I can say definitively that the G1 will fully activate and function (minus data) without a data plan. I can place calls, receive calls, send and receive SMS messages, voicemail, etc, and access any application or internet when connected to wifi. I really don't see the point in paying $25 a month for 2G internet, so I looked for a way to continue using the TZones. I found some settings online and through some trial and error I got it to work. What I did:
Menu->Settings->Wireless Controls->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names->T-Mobile US
I input the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: wap.voicestream.com
proxy: 216.155.165.050
port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: unchanged from original (http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc)
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
MMC: unchanged (for me it was 310, I believe it is based on your location)
MNC: unchanged (for me it was 260, I believe it is based on your location)
APN type: Not set
For me this works for me to browse the full internet on my EDGE network. Some have said that this works for 3G as well, but I am not in a 3G area. There has also been reports of epc.tmobile.com working and not needing the proxy (this worked for my Tilt), but I could not get it to connect. This also allows for MMS access. Google Maps would not download maps through the proxy, and I could not access the Android Market. I also could not get push GMail to work either. I am in wifi areas almost constantly, so I can access that stuff through wifi.
I would really like this to not desolve into a thread where people argue whether or not this is stealing from T-Mobile, as they have known about the hack for a long time and done nothing, and I would also like to keep the comments about how pointless the G1 is without an unlimited data plan also to a minimum. I don't need access to maps and the market all the time, and I don't have to have push email when I can check it on the browser, so this works perfectly for me. If this helps somebody else then great.**feels like a suka for paying $35 a month**

Wow I remember people doing this on the Dash forums. Now its out for the G1. One day Tmobile will get to stopping this, right now they know that $20 a month and now $35 a month is just to dam much for some Internet.
Proud owner of a Tmobile G2.
I have a dream! A HTC Dream a.k.a G1. Finally rooted.

T-Mobile is patiently waiting. patiently waiting till it's the right time then they will ban or sue. I would stay away from this. Stuff like this always come with a price. Nothing is free.
Re: T-zone hack for G1 (free net basically)
Did people do this outside of the first week free that t-mobile gives you before charging?
Re: T-zone hack for G1 (free net basically)
nice! good way to save 35$.
Re: T-zone hack for G1 (free net basically)
You may end up with additional data charges on your bill when T-Mobile switches over their plans. Just be aware. They're within their rights to do so.
