Has anyone with a TZones plan tried it with a T-Mobile HTC One? I wonder if the T-Mobile still imposes the restriction now that they go UNcarrier.
Many thanks,

All the new plans come with 500Mb high speed and unlimited EDGE. Why would you be using T-Zones?

Because grandfathered plans are still cheaper and tzones is like 8 bucks

But it costs nothing extra for the new plans - it is included in the monthly fees. As for T-Zones, it is not designed for high speed phones, an T-Mobile is getting pretty good at detecting what IMEI is being used on the network. T-Zones was a GPRS/EDGE connection.

It wasn't an edge connection the last time I used it. I had full 4G on an unlocked phone.
And plus, just because it "costs nothing extra for the new plans" doesn't mean that the base plan is any cheaper than a grandfathered plan + tzones.
Now just to be clear, when I say grandfathered I'm referring to fairly old plans of the T-zones era, not 2011-2012-ish grandfathered plans.
Hah, and forgot to mention, you had unlimited tethering with those old tzones plans too.

No, sorry. I've been on high speed data for several years. I'm surprised that T-Mobile hasn't caught out the T-Zones folks though. Those plans were designed for the phones that only went to the "T-Zones" web interface. But maybe it is just not worth it for the few who still use it.

AFAIK, newly Google Nexus 4 can fully operated on T-Zones w/o a problem (fully unlimited) and some area can get 4G speed. That's why people keep T-Zones data plan.

I just unlocked an AT&T HTC One. Enabled LTE using the the #*#*4636*#*#. I got an "LTE" Icon under the 4G icon. But, when I go online, it takes me to the T-Mobile upgrade page.
I am currently using Galaxy Nexus with Tzone and I am getting HSPA+, but not LTE since this phone is not LTE capable.
I am going to try my friend's SIM tomorrow where he has actual data plan to make sure AT&T HTC One does indeed work with T-Mobile LTE.

Doesn't work. Tried it. No data connection.

Is there a way to change the imei to an older built? So it can work with t-zones? I just bought an N4 and it's not working with my t-zones plan. I'm new to Android, coming from an iPhone world, which works fine using t-zones. So I'm not sure what to do

It's illegal to change IMEI. Also it could easily get you banned around here.

I don't know if anyone's seen this yet, but for all the US users currently on AT&T, they'll begin to offer a $50 prepaid unlimited plan on June 26th. It'll include unlimited minutes, data, and text (including international text).
I just wanted to get a discussion going to see if this will work with the Galaxy S II. It's marketed for GoPhone's (not sure what that means), and smartphone data will be extra, though a lot of us have already been successfully using the non-smartphone postpaid data plan on AT&T.
A link to Engadget, which also includes the AT&T press release:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/21/atandt-to-offer-50-unlimited-prepaid-plan-ready-to-gophone-jun
There is no unlmited data
Its priced from $5 for 10mb to $25 for 500
dumb/feature phone web access is included with the $50 plan according to the release. SGS2 is a dumb phone in the eyes of AT&T village idiots.

Perhaps there's a lack of clarity in the press release, but it seems as if unlimited data is also included (albeit not for smartphones, for which the $5 to $25 charge is applied).
However, it seems that "unlimited web" is included for "quick messaging phones."
Many of us have been successfully using cheaper non-smartphone unlimited data plans for our Galaxy S II's, since the IMEI is not registered in AT&T's system. Essentially, we've been able to access the dumbphone plans.
Just wondering if that might also be the case here with the new prepaid plan.

I would not know, this plan is not out yet I suggest you wait for first user reports.
IF this plan's feature phone unlimited web works the same way their normal 2- year commitment feature phone unlimited wen works, then the only downside I see is you won't be able to switch to "fake 4G" in the small number of cities that show differences in speed between "fake 4g" and "usually 3g but with access to 4g". There is a big thread about this in the QA section, just search for "APN WAP.CINGULAR"

If I remember correctly, the only way to access the "fake 4g" (HSPA+ with full network backhaul) is to be on a smartphone plan and to have them register your phone as one of their "4g" phones? I'm on the unlimited non-smartphone plan already, so there probably wouldn't be a difference?
Anyway, I'll recheck that thread to see if I'm mistaken... or if there have been some new developments.
If anyone checks if this works, please post. I am interested.

According to some, the smartphone plan for "4G" phones would give you uncapped "fake 4G" speed. The feature-phone unlimited 3G does give you "fake 4G" speeds and HSPA+ access but the speed is supposedly capped. I believe it all depends on WHERE you use the phone. Where I am, I was getting same HSPA+ speeds on my old 3G smartphone plan and on the current feature phone plan: max 6 Mbps down, 2 up, on a very good day, on 99% of other days I get about 3 down and 0.5 up. Since I can clearly see that I can't really achieve the max speeds the "speed-capped" plan allows, it made no sense to me to switch to the "fake 4G" service for 4G-labeled phones.

confirming, as I described above, I get the H+ icon on the phone and good speeds, here in New York City. I do suffer from hanging signal problems though (some people attribute it to "fast dormancy" setting, changing which does not help me personally)
I'm on the non-smartphone data plan and getting HSPA+ in my area.
In the several areas I've run speed tests (California Bay Area, Southern California, Denver), I've averaged about 3mbps up and 1mbps down. I've hit up to 5-6mbps down.
Of course, more speed is always a good thing, but these speeds are entirely satisfactory to me.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing if the prepaid plan offers the same data service.
Also, I'm assuming the $50 a month is an out the door flat rate that includes all taxes and fees?
Did you guys see the new Verizon tiered plans yet?
(image from Androidcentral.com)
They are capping the feature phone $10 web plan at 75 MB !!!
I am sure AT&T will follow pretty soon, the days of unlimited dumb phone web are counted, seriously.

LOL Why would they do that now? You would probably activate your dumpphone on prepaid account and then just switch sim cards.
Did anyone end up getting the $50 featurephone plan? Did you swap a smartphone onto it? Most importantly, I would like to know what kind of data speeds are you getting on the prepaid featurephone plan?
I read reports that ATT caps prepaid featurephone data to 0.2 Mbps or lower (EDGE speeds). Can anyone post a speed test using this plan?
I bought a vibrant yesterday from craigslist and unlocked it so my sister could use it on AT&T with $15 unlimited data. All was going well until this morning when she got this text message, "AT&T Free Msg: Did you know a data plan is required for your iphone? We have added an appropriate data plan for your iphone. Learn more at att.com/iphoneplans."
It upgraded her plan to the $25 2gb plan automatically and won't let me downgrade the plan. On mywireless it calls the plan a datapro iphone plan but still displays the phone as unknown.
Has anyone else had this problem? I thought this phone would be safe from imei sweeps.
Not yet, but I have a feeling that it is coming sooner than later.
I think I'm just going to call cs, tell them the problem, give them the vibrants imei and hope for the best. I really hope they aren't using some kind of deep packet analysis to find out how she's using the phone.
They probably are--money is everything to these companies, and they will do whatever they can to make more of it.
Funny! Now we know who we'll be paying our bills to

What did you tell att to get on your plan? did you tell them you had a vibrant (or sgh-t959) or did you use an ATT dumbphone first?
In my attempt, I took her sim out of her iPhone 3G (200mb data plan) put it in an LG Xenon (dumb phone) called customer service and had them change the plan to the $15 unlimited for dumb phones, waited 15 minutes, put the sim in the unlocked vibrant.
This worked just fine when I did it with a couple of unlocked mytouch 3g's.
Should I have waited longer before switching phones or should I have just told them I have a vibrant (or SGH-t959).
Either way you should be able to get them to take it off due to the fact that you shouldn't be pulling 3g with the vibrant. Yeah you might get it once in a while but probably not consistently.

It gets 3g consistently and works really well in my area, which might be part of the problem. I backed it off to edge (at least for a few days). You probably live in an 850mhz service area. The vibrant only supports 1900mhz hspa but does support 850mhz edge. I get great 3g speeds with the vibrant 1000~2000kbps.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully others will chime in with their feelings on HSPA+ I'm thinking it should feel a lot faster for me coming from 3G. I do have LTE in my area though so the US LTE S3 is kinda in the running still for me. Ive read rumors it may come to AT&T as early as 6/20 with the lesser processor but 2GB of RAM possibly.

Between iphone and sgs3 you will not see much difference. Yes the sgs3 will be faster and in real world scenario you may be get around 4-5mbps down regularly depending on where you you are. Personally this is more than enough for browsing and streaming video compared to lte. Yes lte would work awesome but not a deal breaker for me. Currently I have an international one x and iphone 4s on att, and I get similar speeds on both of them.
I would still go for international sgs3 instead of the us version since the carrier versions will be really cluttered with their branding and crapware

I don't get your question.. Whatever is your current plan you get to keep the same. Just pop your iphone or your current sim into gs3 and you are all set. Maybe you need to manually enter the apn settings but other than that whatever limit you currently have on your account will remain the same. You don't even need to talk to any att rep to do anything because most times what they say is bull****

From what I have gathered from users on xda is that if you import the S3 you can call up and tell AT&T that your phone isn't a smartphone and you can get the MediaNet plan which is cheaper/unlimited and you should get HSPA to HSPA+ speeds. The IMEI of the Int. S3 will come up as a non-smartphone if they do ask for it.

Hello everyone!
I'm new here, and am in the process of buying my new phone. I was in the debate of the Samsung Galaxy S3 but I have decided to go with the Almighty One HTC Evo 4G LTE. I noticed it's special because of my own personal preferences, and due to the fact that its only available for SPRINT.
So my question is: Can I unlock this Almighty smart phone to be used on the AT&T carrier? I have AT&T and can't get out the contract until July of 2013.
Would I be able to use the 4G LTE on it and every other feature on the AT&T network?
Thanks

You cannot use the EVO LTE on AT&T because Sprint and AT&T use 2 different cellular technologies. Sprint is CDMA and AT&T is GSM. It won't work at all

People hate on sprint. But it's not too bad. Sure it has its low points (I've seen hellrizon 3G slower than sprints) but for the price and unlimited data... Can't beat it. Plus the LTE is boss (both phone and network) I pull 20mbs

Nice, 20 mbs! That's music to my ears..
I have about 5 years with AT&T with 4 lines. I been with them since the iPhone 3GS (Unlimited Data).
Now they are changing customers plans without there knowledge. I notice my plan went from Unlimited Data to 5GB Tethering Data.
I called to see what or who confirmed this change, they said they did the change because they notice that I was using to much data for my Unlimited data that they have to change it to 5GB Tethering & charge me $15 dollars extra for any additional GB use.
I was like WTF, isn't unlimited data suppose to be Unlimited? They had no say bu that I was using my data plan to tether my connection.
I quickly dis-agreed and told them i will be canceling my service.
About 2 - 3 weeks later my wife received a Message on her iPhone 4s that she is using to much Data on her phone. If she passes 3GB of her "Unlimited Data Plan since 5 years" they will have to Lower her data Speed from 3G to Edge.
She couldn't believe me when I told her At&T got me for a sucker and they getting her too.
I have a friend that works for AT&T, and she tells me that Corporate is being shady with their service.
I'm about to go to Sprint today and check out the phone and see what they can do for me to get the "Almighty HTC Evo 4G LTE"
While still paying for AT&T until April 2013.. If I do get my line connected with Sprint. I will disconnect the sim from my iPhone 4 and place it onto a Motorola pre-paid "Backup" phone I have. And use that to Disconnect the Data Plan from that line in AT&T and lower my monthly Mins to minimal.
Just to go with Sprint!
Well, that's All Folks!

Actually it is possible.. google your best friend
So I've searched and searched and I can't find a clear answer. I'm planning to get a DNA today. I realized that probably only the NOS rom works with tmobile which I don't mind. I just want to make sure I can get HSPDA and 3g with MMS. I spoke to someone today who used it on t-mobile and they told me they had issues with the network jumping from edge to 3g and hspda. Can anyone help me out?! thanks in advance!
Any rom will work, even the stock one. 3g will only work if you live in an area that they have updated to the 1900 band. But they have been doing it very slowly and sometimes 1 tower may be updated but the next one isn't updated. So that's why it nay be jumping from 3g to 2g.
Mms will work if you get the apn set up correctly.

All correct. I'm currently using my DNA on T-Mobile. Did some speed tests when I first got on it and was getting 4.5M/2.5M.
MMS is indeed a pain in the ass. Ended up using GoSMS which gives you the ability to input an APN for MMS use.
I could not get MMS working in the stock app.
I'm running UKB.
Add another T-Mobile user, works fine aside from the usual MMS as mentioned, it also works fine on the CM10.1 builds and my other rom builds, dunno about AOKP but i see non reason it wouldn't also work on T-Mobile. As mentioned its mostly if the tower refarm is done, living around phoenix I get random E through H+, its a bit unstable but until the refarm is finished I expected it.

So how's this phone currently working out for everyone on T-Mobile? My Verizon contract just ended the other day so I can either continue with Verizon or switch without a cancellation fee. I do have grandfathered unlimited data, but have heard that now T-Mobile is offering unlimited "high speed". Is it worth switching over?

Coverage there's no contest against vzw, but for overall working and compatibility its fine. Refarmed areas will also give you h+.

hmm.. you think if i complain to vzw about t-mobile's cheaper prices that they'll be willing to negotiate the cost of my plan?

I wouldn't know, never had vzw, but my first guess is no.

I would definitely definitely definitely switch while you have the opportunity. JUMP is such a great deal coupled with T-Mobile's plans..
