I called 611- young guy picked up, told him i'm looking to add tmobile unlimited web tzones 5.99 plan to my phone. He said they dont offer it anymore. I told him i had code TZUNL599 , if he could try maybe that will work. also, told him people were able to add it, as recently as today. he said ok, he will try the code. then he put me on hold, came back and said he was able to add tmobile web 5.99 for me!!! Asked him also to add 400 text messages for 4.99. So for $10.99 I have data and text messages.
Got myfaves added for free from the other thread.
BTW I am using unlocked Iphone 3G now.

For those not having success, try doing it via chat. When selecting a topic for the chat, select Billing and Payments > Billing Inquiries instead of Products and Services > t-zones and T-MobileWeb. That way you are speaking wit a Billing rep instead of customer service rep.
Script to use to get the package added successfully. Provided by ChauTrinh
Me: Hello, a friend of mine just added T-Zones for $5.99 "YESTERDAY" and told me to give it a try. The rep that he talked to provided him with a code (TZUNL599) to share with his friends and family.
Make sure to say Yesterday and reinstate the $5.99 price.
Rep: Sir we do not have that plan. Me: Can you try to type in the code that I have from my friend. He added it last night and a T-Mobile Rep provided him the code.... Rep: What is it? Me: TZUNL599 Rep: Wow, it works. It have been added to your plan. I noticed you are currently using an iPhone. Me: Yup! Rep: I will have to transfer you to another department to help you set up the iphone for t-zones. Me: Is it possible that I can call back, since I am currently using the iphone and can't set it up and talk at the same time. Maybe later today when someone is home with another phone. Rep: Sure no problem. Just gave us a call back and we'll help you set it up.
Took less than 5 minutes. Now the internet is working on my iphone. It was funny how she (Pam) didn't push me to get the other package for the iphone.

you kinda make it sound that you are using 3G data connection with t-zones.. is that the case? also, do you have to enter special settings (as in WinMo phones) to get the data to work (for both G1 and Iphone)? what kinda of speeds are you getting. thanks.
I have the tzones 5.99 plan on a 3G TM506 and can tether to my laptop and surf the web at very nice speeds... I got the plan just before they stopped advertising it...
That's really good if you got that deal using a G1 phone !!! I'm assuming you put the SIM back in your G1...
And now you've moved it to an iPhone... nice! How well does the iPhone work on T-Mobile? Can the iPhone use t-mo's 3G network?

Wondering the same thing
Yes, put the sim back in iPhone and can surf the web at very nice speeds, not sure if the 5.99 plan is in effect as I changed plan this morning but can confirm surely in couple of days.

Is there now a way to?
I've been using tzones on my 2g iphone ever since I got it. Hasn't changed.
That's weird because I had mine working up until October. I figured that was the case for everybody. I'm letting my blackberry charge right now and will use that to activate tzones. Hopefully it works. Thanks.
I am using T-Mobile edge as well with iphone 2G. Works as a charm. Very tolerable speed unless you want streaming. By the way I do stream any internet station to my iphone while driving and it works quite well. Can't beat having thousands of internet stations in your car for $5.99
Wireless carriers in the US have a great habit of stating the term "unlimited" in marketing materials only to renege on that message later on. T-Mobile USA's reference to an "T-MobileWeb unlimited for $5.99" would make one think that accessing the web from a T-Mobile phone would be $5.99 (per month) for unlimited usage. The devil is in the details here: as some T-Mo customers are finding out, "unlimited" from the T-Mobile dictionary means regular handsets only using data connections through port 9021. So, are PDA phones and other smartphones left out in the cold here? From all appearances, yes. Those devices generally use port 80 (or 8080), which is blocked for T-Mobile customers subscribing to the $5.99 T-MobileWeb plan. Want more "unlimited" data on that T-Mobile Dash? Better be prepared to shell out $29.99 for that kind of "unlimited" service, unless you want to use T-Mobile's proxy server for everything.
Can someone verify this? I would like to see if I can use this with my unlocked centro.
