T-mobile G1 internet with 9.99 Tzones hack, 5.99 no more :(
Hooray! It works!
T-mobile doesn’t have the 5.99 tzones plan anymore. They upped it to a 9.99 plan. Don’t get rid of your 5.99 plan if you still have it!!! But the tzones hack still works. To get it working on your G1, check my post about getting the MMS to work without having a data plan here.
Then go into your test settings and change the data method to WCDMA preferred or unknown. If you get connectivity errors, you can goto settings and select ‘use only 2G’. This also saves aloooot of battery.
If you want to tether your laptop to use the internet from the G1 check my post here.

Hey I tried this but setting the network to wcdma get reset everytime I check the 2g only box. Whatever I do I cannot access the internet.
February 26, 2009 at 5:43 pm
change the setting to unknown, instead of WCDMA. hopefully, it should work.

I’m hoping you can help me, because by god, I’ve tried everything. I have the 5.99 plan, and I’ve followed yours and every other instruction online to a T, but I still can’t get data access. All I get is “Internal error Access is not allowed for this user agent in (whatever website I’m trying to access)” Please help.
March 5, 2009 at 3:09 am
that happens sometimes, but very seldom. when you go into the testing, does it show its connected?
March 5, 2009 at 4:13 am
I have GPRS service: Connected.
Also, when I run the ping test i get
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr not reachable
Ping Hostname(www.google.com): Fail: Host unreachable
HTTP Client test: Fail: Code: org.apache.httpmessage.BasicHttpResponse@43054dc0
Under GSM disconnects:
State:active ……..
T-Mobile US,
wap.voicestream.com,
216.155.165.050, http://mms.msg…../wapenc,
206.155.165.050, 8080, 8080, *
I don’t know if any of this is useful, it just looks important.
Also, now when I use the browser, I get
HTTP ERROR: $CODE$
$MESSAGE$
RequestURI=/
March 5, 2009 at 5:11 am
Another point of interest. I am switching over from the T-mo Shadow. The proxy hack works fine in there, and I can even switch back to it, and the proxy hack still works.
March 5, 2009 at 6:35 am
HTTP Client test should pass. and after state active, mine says connected at 2:43 PM and elapsed 9:46:04. and right now my preferred network is set to GSM only. use only 2G is selected. data roaming is also selected.
March 5, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I am having the same problem I get the error:
HTTP ERROR: $CODE$
$MESSAGE$
RequestURI=/
and sometimes I get another error: something saying that client in not allowed access or something like that.
Please help I am doing everything you say and still not getting it to work!
March 5, 2009 at 7:24 pm
dont know why some people are having this problem? for most people it works without a problem. can you ask t-mobile data department to remove the feature and put it back on? this helps for misconfigured problems.
March 5, 2009 at 8:00 pm
I’m not sure that they can do that anymore. I’ve heard that if you offer the code TZUNL599, you can still get the 5.99 plan. I’ll try it tonight with a friend who manages a tmobile retail store. I’ll let you know.
March 5, 2009 at 9:09 pm
let me know about the TZUNL599 code. I would gladly switch
April 11, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Hi! I have an iphone 3g unlocked and jailbroken with 2.2 firmware. I just got the phone and so I just added the tzones 9.99 plan. I have tried a ton of apn addresses, looked on cydia for the hack, and read a ton of forums trying to gigure out how to make tzones work as my internet? Right now I am using epc.tmobile.com…all the others I tried wouldn’t even let me look at tzones homepage. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! : )
May 3, 2009 at 5:42 am
Hey this may sound stupid but i have no idea where the test settings are, anybody want to help me with that? it would be much appreciated!
May 7, 2009 at 5:53 am

May 7, 2009 at 4:30 pm
For Test Settings, bring up the dialer and press *#*#INFO#*#*.
I’m having the same problem as sid with the “when ever i try to use the browser it take me to the 10.184.76.164 subscription upgrade required can u help me please” issue.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
May 7, 2009 at 7:25 pm
same here, i think tmobile fixed the loop hole. Now the problem is that even when I use my motorola, it still doesn’t work.
May 12, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I was about to buy a G1. Can anyone confirm that t-zones does work. if it does work for you, what features can you use and whats not usable with t-zones. Has anyone tried the epc.tmobile.com APN that works with windows mobile, iphone, and symbian?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer my questions.

July 16, 2009 at 12:06 am
Okay so what do i have to do to make mms work on the g1? I have read several forums and blogs and they say one works and then all of a sudden it doesn anymore. So which one is the one that is workin as of today? I’m fixin to be gettin one and i want to make sure i can receive picture messages without gettin the data plan.
July 27, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Unlimited web for 10 bucks is no longer working on g1…I switched to a different phone and everything works…am i the only one experiencing this or did someone find any new apn settings?
August 8, 2009 at 9:08 pm
please i need help… i have the 9.99 plan thing for tmobile and had the settings under internet2.voicestream.com and it worked fine, until a month later.(now) Internet didnt work and i changed all of the settings again and again, still no hope. I believe that the settings are changed or something. Please help me ASAP cuz i would really appreciate it! Thanks! Also i had a problem with my mms not working even when i had the data plan… 😦
August 8, 2009 at 9:11 pm
im guessing that i probably have to go to tmobile-sigh**
August 10, 2009 at 1:04 am
btw… im using the G1 🙂
September 8, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Ok guys this what i found out and i believe it is true. They changed the settings again after they found out that people are using it for g1 or something so it will never work now on the g1. so i canceled the plan. People if yours does work but not mms, dont keep changin the settings cuz thats what caused mine to not work anymore
September 29, 2009 at 10:55 pm

Hi, Im not a very technical person.
My question is, my husband has a g1, he is in Afghanistan right now, the fob he just moved to, hes not able to buy net service for his personal comp. they have a community comp-no cam. :{
Im trying to see if he can use his g1 to connect. Would it even work in the Helmand area. Hope you can help. Thanks for looking
