Do t-mobile do GPRS on a pay-as-you-go tarriff in the US? Do pay-as-you-go phones and tarriffs exist in the USA?
I'm going to the USA tomorrow and don't know whether to use my T630 on a UK t-mobile contract.
pros: it works fine, billing is monthly.
cons: calls are hideously expensive.
I was thinking of buying a cheap US pay-as-you-go phone for local calling whilst I'm out there, and it would be a bonus if GPRS was available on pay-as-you-go too.
Whadya think?

I took $2.99 tzones plan initially and when I was apporaching 1 year contract period, they converted it to unlimited plan....... so, now I have 300 SMS and unlimited tzones connection all for $2.99...... I think they will do that for any customer who is with them for about an year.......
this is the reason why I'm afraid to switch carrier..... coz it costs lots of money for taking the internet connection........

vvrrmandiga,
do you have t-mobile in US or elsewhere? i wish t-mobile anywhere would upgrade the $2.99 to what you stated after about a year.
I had the original royalty $2.99, then i had to activate a new account to benefit a rebate for my new P900. i talked with t-mobile hoping they would attach the royalty $2.99 to my new account, but they gave me this song and dance.
i think the $2.99 deal with unlimited GPRS, 300 SMS & 30 MMS is unbeatable, but i doubted you will get them to upgrade this for you free.

hey guys.. i know this question has been beat to death..
but ok ok.. what ports does the 9.99 and 19.99 internet plan unlock?
the only thing i really want to do is use some type of AIM/AOL messanger proggie on my p900.. however i used to use IM+ w my 4.99 unltd tzones.. which doesnt work anymore...
does anyone know of any chat proggie i can use.. while still keepin the ultra cheap 4.99 instead of having to move up?
and what is the real big diff with the 4.99 and 19.99 internet?
seems like tmobile cust care knows not too much bout these matters... especially about our phones...
thanks in advance
---------
QUICK update...
ive been using TIPICME and it works wonders! kinda buggy disconnects only when you type alot really fast... ive been looking for something free and so far TIPICME has been the answer...
anyone else have any other proggie to use?
damn i really miss IM+ w\ $4.99 tzones.

I dont know the exact ports but I think t-zones uses port 80 and the internet plan uses all ports. The internet plan allows unlimited internet access while the t-zones plan doesnt.
However, recently some folks have claimed to b able to acess all ports and the internet on their t-zones plan. The only caution with this is that u might get hit with a bill at the end of the month (happened to me when I was able to access the internet for a brief period when I was on t-zones). So if u can access the internet with ur t-zones plan make sure u check ur activity report online to ensure u r not logging MBs.
Most IM apps will not work adequately with t-zones, not unless T-mo has opened more ports for t-zones.
Maybe someone else can provide more detailed info.

SMS means Short Messaging service. It is used only for sending text messages. MMS means Multimedia Messaging Service. It is used to send pictures, tones,animatons etc. to compatible devices.

Hi sfaguy,
That's true.......... that plan is getting cancelled if you alter your service plan....... that's too bad for people like us........ it happened to me too..... I wanted to take advantage of 1000 anytime minutes and next thing I'm told that i have to pay $4.99 for t-zones, $2.99 for 300 text messages...etc etc........ they want to make money by hook or crook
