I’ve had my hacked iPhone for quite a while now and always wondered if I can use T Mobile’s data plan on it. I called customer service and asked if I would be able to run their data plan on my iPhone, the person I spoke with told me that it was impossible and cannot be done. I refused to believe this so I did my research online on using T Mobile’s EDGE with the iPhone, and low and behold there are quite a few iPhone owners out there using the T Mobile EDGE connection. It looks like you CAN USE T Mobile’s T Zones internet connection on your iPhone. The best part is it only cost $5.99 a month! Now this requires a simple hack but it is very easy to follow, let’s get to it:
You will need iBrickr to browse the file system of your iPhone.
Download iBrickr
If you’ve never used iBrickr before visit the link below for a video tutorial:
View tutorial
If iBrickr doesn’t work for you, try using WINSCP, it will also allow you to view and modify the files in your iPhone much like iBrickr.
Once you have iBrickr downloaded and the PXL files installed on your iPhone, you will launch iBrickr.exe. You’ll see the main interface, click on files to browse your phone’s file system.
( This procedure is for firmware 1.1.2 and under )
Locate /private/var/root
Launch notepad and paste this code:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "25.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 216.155.165.50:8080";
else
return "DIRECT";
}
Save the file as proxy.pac and upload it to /private/var/root
Right-click this file and select “Save Link As”, you need to save the file as preferences.plist, you will then upload preferences.plist into the following iPhone directory:
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/
SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
NOTE : If you are on firmware 1.1.3 and 1.1.4, upload the preferences.plist to this directory:
/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration
This will over write the current file that’s already in that directory.
Now grab your iPhone and tap Settings – General – Network – EDGE. The APN you will use is wap.voicestream.com, username and password will be guest. Reboot your iPhone and voila…you should be able to browse online using EDGE.
NOTE: After performing this hack I noticed that EDGE interfered with my wifi connection at home. If this happens to you, here’s a very helpful solution. Launch iBrickr.exe again, this time we will click on Applications. Click on the Browse Applications button, this will launch a list of 3rd party apps you can install at your will, for our purpose we will install an app called Services. Basically this will allow you to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, and EDGE.
Once you’re done with the installation, iPhone will reboot and on your Springboard you should see a Services icon, tap the icon and here you can toggle between your EDGE and WiFi connection. Here’s the screenshot:
UPDATES…UPDATES…UPDATES… UPDATES…UPDATES…
Updated 07/01/09
If you’re on firmware 3.0, there’s no need to perform this hack. All you need to do is set up your APN. Go to Settings – General – Network – Cellular Data Network. In the APN field enter wap.voicestream.com, leave the username and password blank. That’s all you need to do to get EDGE running on your iPhone.
Updated 9/01/08
T-Mobile USA has changed the IP address in their system for the T-Zones service. For anyone on 1.1.4 and below you will have to SSH in and manually change your settings or upgrade to 2.0+ and install the NEW T-Zones Hack provided by Big Boss in Cydia. For anyone on 2.0+ who has the previous hack installed you will need to update to the new one.
You must subscribe to the $5.99 T-Zones service for the T-Zones hack to work.
“For 1.1.x users that really don’t want to upgrade, you can fix proxy.pac yourself but editing the file /var/preferences/proxy.pac and changing 10.0.0.0? to 25.0.0.0”
Updated 2/19/08
This hack works on firmware 1.1.3, it’s been verified by a couple readers from this blog. The preferences.plist can be found at this directory:
/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration
Updated 1/10/08
I’ve decided to copy this post over to a different forum so that others can post and maybe offer some suggestions or tips on making this work. Please go to: http://www.iphoneshowoff.com
Updated 12/20/07
Download the zipped file below and used these files if you are having trouble renaming your files. This zipped file contains proxy.pac and preferences.plist – preferences.plist may just show up as preferences depending on your pc, this is fine…just upload these 2 files to the appropriate locations.
Updated 12/01/07
This hack works on firmware 1.1.1. I finally updated my firmware and EDGE works flawlessly. I have both the 4GB and 8GB updated to 1.1.1 and so far everything is working as it should.
Updated 10/25/07
Some people are having problems with the preferences.plist I have, if the one I provided doesn’t work out for you try using the one from the link below:

Thanks Paul !!!
Updated 10/24/07Here’s a comprehensive list of EDGE settings for different countries:
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
Updated 10/23/07There seems to be a bit of confusion about making this hack work, let me just clarify a few things.
- You don’t have to buy the $19.99 data plan with T Mobile, the $5.99 plan is all you need.
- There are 2 files you need in order to make this work, proxy.pac and preferences.plist (both are on this page).
- To enable EDGE go to Settings – General – Network – EDGE. APN will be wap.voicestream.com, username and password will be guest.

Hey guys i got a question I’m about to buy a iphone 3gs unlocked and use it for T-mobile, all i have to do is take my sim card out of my old T-mobile phone and put it in the iphone 3gs right? and also i have unmutilated text and talk i have no internet, do you have to get a data plan to use the internet? or is WiFi free can i just use my home router, would i have to pay?

Yes if the iPhone is unlocked then you should be able to just put your sim in there and start using it on the TMobile network. You don’t have to have the data plan in order to use the internet, if you have WiFi at home then you’ll be able to use that for your internet connection. If you want internet all the time ie. when you’re away from home, then yes, you will need a data plan.

Hi. I need help. I just got 2 sim cards for my used 3GS iphones (unlocked and jailbroken, iOS 3.1.1 and 4.0.1) and put it in. I have a $10 data plan for regular phones on my account. I thought that I would be able to use the web right away but that didn’t happen. I can’t use the web on it. I tried changing the APN settings on one of the phones and that didn’t help. On the other phone(ios 3.1.1), I am unable to change the APN settings due to the fact that when I click on APN it takes me back to my main screen.
Please help.

Hello, I have been looking through a lot of the comments and I still have a few questions. I currently have an iPhone 3GS 16GB on 3.1.3 firmware. I am currently contracted with AT&T and plan to leave to T-Mobile. As far as I understand, I will just jailbreak & unlock my iphone, get any phone through them, come home and add the $9.99 data plan and just pop my new sim in? Thanks for your time

I have never told the t-mobile sales rep that I own an iphone but when went to t-mobile to ask them what plan i can have, they checked on my account and apparently they knew that i have an iphone and told me the only available option for me is the $29.99 plan. How did they figure out that I have an iphon? Any suggestion/solution for what I can do?

Go to T-mobile.com and log in to your account, there you’ll have the data plan options. Add the cheapest data plan to your line, that should work. Regardless of what they say or what phone you have they should be able to give what ever data plan you choose, at the end of the day you are the costumer!

Thanks for this info.
I called t-mobile and added the $10 data plan which is their lowest today, then entered internet2.voicestream.com for the APN, restarted iphone….then their was internet. Internet is not the fastest but it won’t cost me an extra $30 added to my bill.

I called T-Mobile’s 611 on May 5th around 3pm, and asked to speak with customer service. Once i had someone on the line, i simply asked which data planes were available. The person informed thier was only two options:
$29.99 for smartphones
or
$9.99 for simple phones.
I then asked him to add the $9.99 to my cel line, and that was the end of it.
However i did not go into details about what phone I was using, I avoided to inform him of such.

Yup not many people know about the $9.99 plan working with an unlocked TMobile iPhone. It’s a shame they’re no longer offering the $5.99 TZones plan, that’s really a great deal! The $9.99 plan plan is not bad either, considering it gives you unlimited data.
Hi, I got jailbroken Iphone 3.1.2.
I try to get T-zone plan, but T-mobile told me that If I use Iphone, then I need to get other dataplan which is $29.99 per months.
It able to call them to get T-zone whatever they say?

If the SIM hasn’t been activated then you’ll need to call TMobile and ask them to activate it for you.
I tried looking through the posts but did not notice any saying if the $9.99 plan on T-mobile is unlimited. I did see that the t-zones one is unlimited, but I don’t have it already so I probably won’t be able to get it. If there is a limit to the data per month, will T-mobile charge you for overages? I just unlocked my iphone and am about to add something to my plan for internet access. Also is there a way to see how much of your alloted data per month has been used to help you track and avoid overage charges? Just let me know when you get a chance… thanks so much!

T-mobile now has an “Even More Plus” plan which includes unlimited web. It’s a month-to-month contract and it’s pretty cheap if you only get the 500 talk. I don’t know about adding web service and and tracking it through a regular plan though.

Hey there,
I’m also from Houston. I recently got my iPhone with v3.0 firmware hacked to use the t-mobile network, but for voice/text only. So I called to add a data plan, and the cheapest one they offer now is $9.99/mo. for unlimited web. I requested that, and used your recent update advice to just add the “wap.voicestream.com” to the APN settings, yet it doesn’t work still; and whenever I try to load something in Safari, it just says “Subscription Upgrade Required,” and so whenever I view other internet plans that it says will work with the device, the cheapest option is $24.99/mo. Is there a way of getting the $9.99 plan to work? Thanks!

I have had this problem in the past and was able to resolve it fairly simple.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase your current network configuration.
Reboot the phone..set up the APN again (wap.voicestream.com) and open up Safari.
If it doesn’t work, reboot the phone one more time and launch Safari.

Thanks for your quick reply. However, I’ve tried this twice, and restarted multiple times, and it wouldn’t work. It still said I needed to upgrade my plan. However, with a little research, I found a suggestion online that recommended I try internet2.voicestream.com for the APN, and it works. It’s slow, but it works.

Hi,
Gone are the bad old days, now it’s so easy to unlock an iPhone
I needed to keep my existing network provider when I bought my brand spanking new iPhone 3Gs. So I went looking for unlock solutions. After going through different website for what seemed hours a friend of mine suggested the website http://www.unlockanyiphone.co.uk. I was so pleased he had as I have never looked back. Someone even talked me through the process of unlocking my iPhone over the telephone after I had a problem doing this myself.
I’m over the moon, I can now also use my iPhone 3Gs with all the freely available apps that are not listed on Apple’s website.

can i unlock the new 3g iphone? would i be able to get a downgrade?

That’s nice but how do you actually add the T-Zones plan to a prepaid T-Mobile account?
I can’t do this online and if I’m on EDGE on my iPhone I can’t go to any website, not even t-zones.
Thanks for any help.l

So after reading all the replies, no one mentions if it’s all worth it. I want the iphone but am T-mobile loyal. Is it worth hacking into or wait until T-mobile gets the I-phone legally

In my opinion it is absolutely worth it. I love my iPhone, it’s like having a laptop inside your pocket. As a matter of fact, I use it more than I use my laptop. You should definitely get one, you won’t regret it!

I have unlocked iPhone and T-Mobile working great. I started with the $5.99 Tzones plan with the Tzone hack from Cydia. It worked but it was REALLLLLLYYYY SLOOWWW when it worked and sometimes it just plain didn’t work at all depending on my location.
Today I called and upgraded my plan to the $19.99 plan to see if there is any speed or more coverage improvements. I did this about 5 hours ago.
My question is: Does anyone know or can confirm that the $19.99 plan actually gives us better/faster service than the $5.99 plan? Or are they exactly the same? I would like to hear from people who have tried both, or just plain know because they either work for T-Mobile or are experts at this type of stuff.
Thanks!!

I too would like to know this – is there any speed difference between the cheap plans ($5.99/$9.99) and the expensive plans ($19.99/$24.99).
I ask because it is possible T-Mobile limit the throughput of the cheaper plans, but don’t if you pay more.
I am currently on the $9.99 plan, which is the cheapest now available, and my Xtreme Speedtest reports 95-144 Kbits/s average. The max I have achieved is 144 kbits/s.
Can anyone on the expensive plans report their fastest results please?!

Joey,
EDGE connection is very slow, you’ll be lucky to get a 56K connection. My speed varies from location to location…although lately I have noticed that my average speed is above 56K.
I’m pretty sure the $19.99 plan is just as slow, because it’s also running on the same EDGE network.

I would recommend to just upgrade your firmware to 2.0 or above. The upgrade is fairly easy using PWNAGE ( http://wikee.iphwn.org/ ) Once upgraded, you just use Cydia to install the T Zones hack. very easy to do!

Jon,
I’m on a T-Mobile family plan and currently don’t own an iPhone. However, I was considering buying one, after i made sure that i can keep T-Mobile and still use all of the iPhones internet features. This plan sounds great, but I’ve never done any type of hacking and really don’t want to spend all that money on an iPhone and then screw it up. Can hacking severely harm my phone if i mess up, or is it not as complicated as it seems?

Please use the following sequence to restore the iphone when nothing works:
DFU Restore Mode:
1. Boot phone 2. Hold Power + Home until the screen goes BLACK 3. Continue to hold home and let go of power 4. Plug into iTunes (screen should still be BLACK) 5. Within 20 seconds it should come up in recovery mode 6. Let go of Home and hit RESTORE in iTunes.
Firmware 2.0 DFU: 1. Power phone OFF. 2. Hold power + home for 10 seconds. 3. Let go of power and continue to hold home until iTunes finds the phone.

I tried to make my iPhone work on t-mobile network, and i really messed it up. I had cyntia installed and edge still did not work, so I said I give it a try with ibrickr. done that, and it asked me to downgrade it, which I accepted, and asked to be done. Once the phone restarted, it keeps on showing code on the screen, then restarting again, then again code, and that’s about it. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Use the cydia installer to install the T-Mobile Web Fix and then wait a few hours, or attempt to hack your phone through ssh, T-Mobile Web will not work by itself without making a few modifications.

Go into Cydia, click on Sections at the bottom, scroll down until you see tweaks, the look for the T Zones Hack, Just install that and it should allow you to use EDGE on your iPhone.
The T-Mobile egde works, its a bit slow, and you get a bunch of error screens, but it is good enough to check your e-mail, surf and use Maps.

Hi there, quick question…
So with this iphone hack, I will be able to cancel my $19.99 data plan, and go to the $5.99 plan, and I will still be able to get EDGE service anywhere or just a ‘tzone’ or whatever that is called?

Fav 5′s are handled on the t-mobile side, not by your phone, but you will not have a nice looking display, like on a real t-mobile phone with the 5 pictures in a circle, but you just add them as favorites. And weird fact, you can change your fav 5′s in the middle of the month, if you have been calling someone way too much.

Reply To This Comment
Here is the current information on the iPhone 3G, it can be jail broken, the base band can be downgraded[Possible], but no unlock solution has been released.
If you are planning to unlock the iPhone 3G(Future) so it can be used on non-at&t networks then the only new features to work will be GPS, the 3G hardware will not work with T-Mobile 3G.
There is no unlock currently available for the iPhone 3G, and you must buy a contract with AT&T to get one, I would recommend purchasing an older iPhone, which can be unlocked & jail broken and you can use t-mobile’s edge, or wifi for internet access.
Reply To This Comment
but if i do buy the new iphone is it worth it and is it hack able?
Reply To This Comment
Don’t buy a 3G iPhone, they actually cost more with the service plan, 200 off is a scam, and 3G isn’t in all areas yet, which is ok for me because I have WiFi access everywhere and Edge for on the go. Just buy a old iPhone off Craigslist or E-Bay, you can find a deal, just search around and watch out for scammers.

Khang you can switch back and forth. The firmware is in settings.
Reply To This Comment
Okay, to answer some questions. If you already have the $19.99 plan with T-Mobile all you need to do is change the settings to internet2.voicestream.com.
This WILL work with 1.1.4v firmware.
And, to clarify this is NOT 3G speed, even with the hack, 3G is third-gen, only available on AT&T. This is similar to the AT&T EDGE speed, but 3G is about 1.5-2 times as fast (only on AT&T though, T-Mobile doesn’t have a 3G network).

Can it work on firmware 1.1.4? How to check firmware though? If we use this hack then the phone will disable the Wifi right? Can we switch back and forth

Well, first I tried to use the old method, describe above, but modifying the files manually, since the preferences.plist file is not the same. I had to install OpenSSH from cydia and I installed the terminal emulator so that I can run ifconfig & ping. The preference file is located in a Preferences folder not contained in the root folder, look around you will eventually find it. I learned that for t-mobile you do not need a username/password, leave those fields blank. For a while Edge would not work, but I had an IP, but after I Installed the T-Mobile Edge fix from Cydia everything started to work, but I don’t know if it really did anything, it seems that edge takes a really long tiime to start up for the first time.

SlashAndBurn, Can you describe exactly what you did to get T-mobile to work? I have successfully unlocked my 2.0 iPhone (2G), but I cannot get the internet/data to work. Phone and Wifi work well. What did you do through the terminal emulator?

A update, I installed the T-Mobile Edge Fix from Cydia and made sure that I did not have a user name/password in my edge settings and…
By using the terminal emulator I was able to verify that having a user name/password would result in not getting a iP address.
But after fighting with the phone for a while I was able to get T-Mobile Edge to work on a 2G phone running iPhone OS 2.0.

You do have to have it jailbroken not unlocked if you’re not concerned about using its phone features.

So is it possible to use the iphone (or iphone 3G once it get’s unlocked) internet functions using wifi ONLY and not use/pay for EDGE or 3G? Would the weather and stuff still update when wifi is available? If that’s possible would I be able to do it on both At&T and Tmoblie?
I want to get an iphone but don’t want to pay for internet service since I’m usually at school and have wifi. Is this a feasible option? Thanks

Hi Clay,
I wouldn’t trust anything T Mobile tells you, of course they would want you to buy the more expensive plan. You do not have to have the $19.99 plan, I believe they have changed the $5.99 T Zones plan to $9.99. I’m still using the $5.99 T Zones plan and I haven’t had any issues with it, as a matter of fact it works perfectly fine using wap.voicestream.com. So my advice is go with the $9.99 plan and save you some hard earned money!

Newbie iphone user here… I just jailbreaked my iphone (Version 1.1.4) last night using Ziphone and I just put my T-mobile sim card into iphone and everything has been working just fine (phone, internet via wifi at home, etc) but I was unable to get internet access away from my wifi… So I started diggin online and found this site and following the advice here, I called T-mobile and asked for the T-Zone $5.99 online feature and T-mobile said I actually need the full internet access package $19.95 per month and had me type in internet2.voicestream.com under the edge page and everything is working fine. My question is that if I skip the $19.99 extra full internet access from T-mobile and just go with what Joe said (a few post above) and used the wap.voicestream.com under the edge page, would that work? It would be nice if I didn’t have to pay the extra $19.99 per month.

I currently have a sidekick. I’d like to switch to an iphone. I’m trying to sort this all out. It sounds like I’d have to switch out of my sidekick plan- keep my minutes plan- sign up for $5.95 edge plan and then sign up for some sort of texting plan as well? Then do this hack and all should work well with my iphone on T-mobile?

All you have to do is call tmobile with version 1.1.4 and tell them you need to get the data plan that supports the iphone problem solved..for youtube there is a download on installer and everything should work fine. it did for me..

Hi, read this whole blog…and thanks for all the hard work from everyone. I have a 1.1.4 that someone else unlocked. I used the wap.voicestream.com under the edge page and it worked in everything. I did nothing elase but type this in. Mail seems a bit inconsistent with sending, but you tube worked great, so did safari. I have the $20 plan. I tried internet2.voicestream.com and it did not work. I see here that others got that to work. is there a difference in speed?

Just got off the phone with T-mobile, in order for edge to work, in my case, i had to go to settings-general-network-edge and type in lowercase letters internet2.voicestream.com and it worked!
Not sure about youtube though, thats a whole other story! Hope this helped.

@Tony: Hey, the iPhone works great with MyFav from T-Mobile. The only think is you don’t get the MyFav rotator, like you said. But I did just the same as you suggested: added the 5 to my favorites list, and done. T-Mobile doesn’t bill me for talking to them (since you register their phone number with T-Mobile [you can do this on the website], so it doesn’t depend on the MyFav app on the phone).
Just wanted to write back that this works for me on the 1.1.4 firmware as well. Thanks!

MY FAVs is part of a Tmobile calling plan that allows you to call any 5 people on any service or land line with unlimited minutes. It works great for me because right now I’m not the riches person around. So something like having unlimited minutes for very cheap is cool. I figured that if it was part of my plan and did acquire an IPhone that I would be able to use it. The only thing that made me question it was that new Tmoblie phones have MY FAVs option on it. Like its programmed to the phone. Every month it resets itself, allowing me to change my 5 Favs if i want. Maybe by putting my favs on the “favorites” on the Iphone it may act as the same. I really want an Iphone because Tmobile does not have a phone that catches my interest like the Iphone does, also I really like Mac products. Anyway any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks for the help so far.

What is the My Favs thing? I have seen it but don’t know what it is. I know that it is something about calling any 5 people. The iPhone doesn’t have a setting for that – there is a ‘favorites’ for your contacts. Check your online access to T-mobile to see if My Favs is there and setup – if you can take care of it there, then you don’t have to worry about the iPhone having it, because it will be with your account anyway.

I have Tmobile and really want an Iphone. Ive read on here that EDGE can be loaded on the iphone, but have not read if MY Favs can be used on it. I really like the MY FAVS option. If MY FAVS is possible on the Iphone i will get one fo sure.

Giovanni:
You can try this:
Connect your iphone to you computer with itune on. Try pressing and holding the Home button for 6 seconds to close a frozen application. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. During this time, a red “power off” slider may appear, but do not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears. Then your itune will find your iPhone, restore it and unlock your iPhone again.

I turned it off holding the two buttons, affter that I turn it on and then it shows the apple logo for 3 seconds follow the several code lines from the botton to the top of the screen for 6 seconds more and then it repeats the accion again and again. Itunes does not find it neither. What can I do ? help me please ?
