T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Hi :D

While I was very pleased to read that a new update had come in for my beautiful Nokia N900, I almost wish i hadn't installed it...

Up until I updated the firmware, I was on T-Mobile's $10/month Unlimited Web for "dumb phones."

When I tried using the data plan yesterday, I was greeted with a message that read:

"Subscription Upgrade Required
Your current plan is not compatible with this device. Please click here to view plan options."

Has anyone else experienced this?

no problems here still works fine check your internet settings

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

It's still working to me and no message received
but I'm using the $10 Shadow plan

still working for me..

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Have you logged into your account to see what phone it's saying you're using?

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

When it was working for me, I had the Nokia 1680 as my phone.

Should I choose the T-Mobile SIM card as my phone?

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

choose shadow as your phone and please change it to shadow internet for $10 not the dumb phones.
And use:
internet2.voicestream.com apn others will not work as epc.tmobil.com

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Everything seems to be working fine, now.

Thank you very much for the help :D

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

So in essence, use epc.tmobile.com as the APN, correct?

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Unless you have T-Zones (discontinued service) or smartphone plan this apn will not work.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

the unlimited plan cost you 25$, so the plan that you have is not really unlimited ;however it is limited to 10GB and may be you exceed this limit.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

I just exceeded 10gb and got a notice that my speed would be reduced to 50kpbs.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

out of curiosity, what do you download on your phone to exceed 10gb?

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

I have just recently received my n900 and was going to get another phone fromT-mobile with their $10/month Add-on, Unlimited Web For Other Phones and put that SIM card in my n900 which I understood from previous forum posts and the T-mobile salesperson would give me unlimited internet (including 3G coverage where available) for my n900. Does this mean that since the recent firmware upgrade, this will not work?

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

I have it on the same plan with the recent firmware upgrade, works fine. You need to change the data connection to internet2.voicestream.com from the epc.tmobile.com

You will find this option when you go to settings->internet connections->tmobile->settings->advanced

Hope this helps.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Thanks for the confirmation!

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

What is the difference between internet2.voicestream.com versus epc.tmobile.com anyway? Are there differences in what ports are blocked? What about performance?

This could help about APN and more http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35741

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

I still have the T-MobileWeb unlimited internet for $5.99 and it's still working fine. The APN I'm using is epc.tmobile.com

The only problem with this plan is it's been discontinued and meant for feature phones, not smartphones. Because of that I try not to use it too much (approx. 200MB per month), so that T-Mobile does not force me to upgrade to the $25 plan.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Got the same plan but way exceed 200MB data usage.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

I have the unlimited plan on mine, was on the sim from the i-mate jasjar I used. So all is fine.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Works fine for me as well.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Changed to internet2.voicestream.com and it worked like a charm! They wanted $15.00 extra to "upgrade" my Unlimited Web on my N900!

Keeping my $15.00 and staying on T-mobile, for now!

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

do you need a contract to get the shadow plan? id like to use it in limited use where i need 3G data nad dont care about the phone plan

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Lately I can't get any of the APNs to work. This is just the last couple of days.

Re: T-Mobile Unlimited Web on Nokia N900
 

Just FYI, I usually download 1.5GigaByte every month using this plan. I use epc.tmobile.com APN.
