Has anyone attempted using T zones with their Radar? Or have any other related info? Im waiting for my Radar to be delivered and plan on using my $5.99 Tzones data. Hope it works... I will update with my results in a few days.
Please do post an update when you have had a chance to test.
I also purchased the HTC Radar to test on the grandfathered $5 Preferred Internet plan. I'll post my results.
tmobile cancelled my tzone last year when i still had the tp2. i had a good run with tzone, over 3 years. lol
consider yourself lucky if tmobile hasn't discovered you yet.
Data still working after 2 days on the Radar with the $5 Preferred Internet.

I have been using my HTC HD2 for the last year and a half running android using T-mobiles t-zones 5.99 internet plan. I don't really want to pay $30+ for data if I don't really have to and was wondering if anyone knew any recent phones that were able to run data with t-zones.
Nexus One, Xperia X10. Some of the Nokia like the N8 or N900 will allow 3G with the 5.99 tzone

Thanks. I just found a list on howardfourms. I think it's time I ditch the 5.99 plan and just go with the Amaze, I'm not sure yet...

I ordered thru Htc.com 3 days ago and await the arrival. The unit is priced at $279, free activation,shipping and a $50 coupon off accessories. Good deal? Maybe, I'll figure it out when it gets here as I hear Tmobile is the worst for bloatware. TIA. Just wanted to know if anyone has opinions on the GSM Tmo version... seems very few people have this version of the flyer.
No contract?

2year contract and $200 termination fee. Htc didn't offer a flyer for tmobile w/o a contract :-( . But I do plan on terminating service, I really hate contracts! It arrives today, will keep you posted!
Wow. That's a pretty steep total cost of ownership especially considering the going rates for a wi-fi only Flyer. That's what I have.......tethered to my T-Mobile cellular account when I'm not around Wi-Fi.

Tell me about it..... I really wanted the gsm version of the tablet as its for business & personal use. Sprints 4g really sucks in the fort worth area so that only left me two choices. Tether via mifi/tmobile or get the gsm version. I settled with the gsm for business purposes as I would need access to immediate emails. This bull crap the carriers put you through is crap, but it was either get the UK version for $500 w/o contract with edge speeds or $279 with a two year... Smh @ these games the carriers play.
Darn it, you had my hopes up till you mentioned it was on contract. I actually would love one that works on ATT so I can use my unlimited iPad sim but I don't want a contract and off contract pricing is insane. Wonder how the TMobile ATT roaming deal will work out for data.
For now I opted for the View deal that popped up. At least I can use the gps and pre cached maps until a deal on something better comes around.
As most would agree, the tablet is pure awesomeness! Cant believe how fast/smooth the build is... no need for that dual core. There are very few apps installed from tmobile and the 4g connection is solid. Next step: figure out if I can get this thing unlocked.
I actually just closed my account, despite the fact that I use my Jetstream daily. I have a HTC EVO 4G LTE with Sprint, and being in graduate school, times are tough and thought I would like to not have the worry of the 35 or so $ a month for another bill going out each month on something I'm not using. I mostly have used the Jetstream via wifi anyway!
I suppose most people are still under their contract? Or did you purchase it off contract?
Perhaps at a later point, i can reinstate my contract, but I wouldn't want a two year agreement. Pay as you go would be nice, but I don't think they offer such a thing.
i think most of the active members here got it off-contract.
i know i did..payed the full f*&&ing price back then..
Even on-contract with the pen and TPU case, mine was like 900$ or something crazy
I bought mine 2nd hand for $300-ish and just recently activated it on the family's new data plan. Once you start paying $200+/mo for 4 phones and 10 gb of data (thanks AT&T), another $10/mo for the poor lowly jetstream doesn't seem like too much.
I personally know 3 others with jetstreams, all of which bought them 2nd hand.
I got mine off-contract during the Black Friday Sale 2 years ago (2011) and costed me with the pen I think $680 excluding other accessories.
Now, I pay ~$1/month pre-paid for around 500 MB of 2G (edge) data which is more than sufficient for whatsapp and on-need-basis to check mail and other non-speed demanding things which I use when not at home/work. At work and at home, I got unlimited WiFi net access at pretty decent speeds of 2Mbps. When I do however go out of state, I get for ~$5, 1 GB of 3G data on roaming which serves its purpose for most things except ability to download things like I do at home.

You have to have a line with Tmobile already. Sign into your account, go to "upgrade this line" and you can get the phone in your cart without a new plan.
Or you can just call Tmobile (you don't need an account with them to do this). They'll sell one to you over the phone and you won't need a plan.

I have a prepaid plan (T-Mobile Monthly4G $30 unlimited Web and text with 100 minutes of talk)
when I try to upgrade there it says "Your profile email address is missing or invalid. In order to upgrade, you must have a valid email address in your My T-Mobile profile"
email is correct, I guess the only option is order on the phone?

I got that too when I tried to upgrade through my own account. But I'm not the account holder. I logged into her account and was able to upgrade just fine.
I'd recommend calling though.

I did try call, lady said it will be only online, so I can't order on the phone..
It's ridiculous that phone carriers now force a data plan on you if you want to get a smartphone so I feel your pain. I go between my house and school and have WiFi in both places so I have no need for a data plan.
One time I kept complaining to a T-Mobile rep until she finally let me order the phone without adding data but I don't know if it would work again. Maybe call again and explain your situation over and over and maybe you'll have some luck like I did.

Do you have a Walmart in your area? I'm in Virginia and the only place where I live that carries T-Mobile is Walmart. You can buy it there but it's $650 but you can walk out with it without a contract.

I just recently switched my family plan to their new plan from a very old family plan that we've had for years.
Their most basic plan has 500mb of internet included (which is probably more than I use when I'm not on wifi).
You can buy one without a plan but the cost is 650. Not the 580 that everyone pays "with a qualified plan"

I was in the same boat as you. I have the $30 plan and an activated pre paid SIM.
I went through the same struggles with the online ordering and customer service. Finally I decided to just buy it as a new line because since I was paying full price I could just cancel the service and keep the phone. I got the order in but there is some kind of fulfilling glitch and my order has been stuck in processing for a week.
Getting tired of dealing with incompetent people on the phone, I started to look around for a store that was carrying the One and I finally found a store in Arlington, VA. I drove out there and was able to buy one in person with little difficulty. The only issue was what somebody mentioned earlier, they wanted me to buy a service plan and I told them no I just wanted to use the plan I currently had. He eventually let me do that but the phone still ended up costing $609 + Tax. I asked why the price was higher and he couldn't tell me. I called T-mobile to get some clarification and they couldn't tell me so I asked around on Twitter and got a response from T-Mobile. They offered to credit me back the $30 difference so overall I am pretty happy.
BTW, the $30 plan works great with the phone. I even get some actual 4G LTE sporadically here in DC.
Good luck with getting the phone. It's definitely worth it.
Yea, I used to have the same problem...

Anyone know how to tether this device. I have the chinese LTE version and foxfi and the native hotspot broadcast something but i have no internet access. Does anyone know why? how to fix it? I am on the 29.99 unlimited data plan from att since the ipad 1. I had the tab s before and foxfi used to work great. now they both create a network i can connect to, but there is no internet access.
I know this is no consolation, but, tethering works fine with all the treble GSIs that I have tried. This is the reason I've been running phh's AOSP GSI for the last week.
Good luck with the stock ROM1
Tethering worked fine on the stock rom for me (Asia firmware).

Tethering is allowed.
(I signed up Black Friday and paid $78 for six months of talk/text and 10 GBs per month. Can't beat that - but now my six months is coming up and it's gonna be $30/mo if I pay six months in advance, or $25 if I pay for 12...plus taxes.)

The website is mintmobile.com
The deal I initially got ($75 plus fees for six months) was a Black Friday / holiday promotion. So you can't get that at the moment. There might be other deals available via eBay.
It's on T-Mo's network, coverage and speeds are generally the same as if you were on T-Mobile prepaid.
