Would this work if you are on the $10 internet plan or only on the more expensive plan?

If you have unlimited data today working on the N900, ipv6 will work. I don't know prices.

I'm on the cheaper "dumbphone" unlimited plan, not on the smartphone internet plan. While I'd like to test this, I'm worried that they will recognize that I'm not on the smartphone plan and require an upgrade, and the corresponding cost increase.

I would not be concerned, at all.

I have been approved by tmobile to participate in the program. I have not fully implemented the necessary setup yet. I am on the even more talk plus with web2go ($10). Didn't seem to affect my acceptance. I get 2.5 to 3.5 mbps with tmo. Faster that att dsl at home most times.

OK submitted form for testing. I'll see how it goes.

I ran into some problems with the setup as well, so here are a couple of tips:

Enter the actual APN name in the script, example:

Code:

MY_IPv4_APN="internet2.voicestream.com"
MY_IPv6_APN="ccinternet2.t-mobile.com"

EDIT: ICD_CONNECTION_TYPE will be unset in the terminal, use the steps below only for manual testing.

The script checks the $ICD_CONNECTION_TYPE environment variable, once connected to your normal APN make sure the variable is set (mine wasn't):

Code:

echo $ICD_CONNECTION_TYPE

If you get a blank line, set the variable:

Code:

export ICD_CONNECTION_TYPE=GPRS

Rerun the script:

Code:

/etc/network/if-up.d/00_enable_apn_ipv6

Hope this helps

Kopele -- just to be clear, you are up and running correctly with IPv6 now?
