I have 3G 2.2 version
it seems not to be working.

Any suggestions?

hey i just updated my firmware from 1.1.4(unlocked) to 2.2.1(unlocked)and it works perfectly. Now before i updated i also had the “tzones hack” for 1.1.4 firmware and before i updated my internet started working agian just fine. now since i updated to 2.2.1 i cant find the tzones hack anymore, i have both Cydia and installer and i cant find it in either just need some help with that please

wtf!!!! wheres the tzones hack????
I dont want to upgrade to the 24.99$ data plan

Guys, the hack is gone. I looked EVERYWHERE for it. BUT, i did get my tmobile t-zones to work!! It’s working on everything, including maps/youtube. here’s how i did it::

I have an unlocked, jailbroken (firmware: 2.1) iphone 3g.

1.) call up tmobile and add Web To Go. That’s what their calling TZones now, apparently. Also, price increased to $9.99. If you combine the unlimited texting (usually $14.99) and Web to Go, it’ll be $19.99, saving you 5 bucks.

2.) Wait for the stuff to get activated on your account. honestly, call tmobile before you go to bed. by the time you wake up the next morning, it’ll be added to your account for sure.

3.) On your phone, go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network. For the APN, put it wap.voicestream.com and leave the username/password blank.

4.) go back one level to the Network screen. Toggle ON your Data Roaming.

At this point, you should see the little ‘E’ next to ‘T-Mobile’ on the top left of your screen.

5.) Make sure your Wifi is toggled OFF so that you can actually test out the Edge stuff.

6.) go to Safari and check out any site. If it doesn’t load up, then I have no clue man. I’m just telling you what I did to make it work.

Also, the maps does work, but it’s not as precise as it is on wifi. for example, when i try it at home, it puts a circle around my street and a couple streets around me. well…it’s better than nothing, right? it gets the general area of where i am.

I hope this helps!!

I just upgraded my 3g iphone to 2.2.1 and tzones hack is also missing from cydia.Someone please help! is there a way to manually get tzones data?

Hey guys found the fix. T-Mobile has changed their internet packages again. T-Zones is now Web On The Go, and is priced at $9.99, but you don’t have to call T-Mobile. All you have to do is use the new APN;

epc.tmobile.com

You can leave the username and password blank or input guest, doesn’t matter. Your T-Zones package priced at $5.99 will still work on your iPhone firmware 2.2.1

I just upgraded to 2.2 and there is no t-zones hack in Cydia. Where do I input the epc.tmobile.com for it to work? I don’t really want to pay more for the web-to-go.

I have a tmobile contract and pre paid service and with both the tzone hack still works for me on 2.2.1 2g iphone all i did was change the proxy.pac 10.0.0.0″ to “25.0.0.0. Also with the pre paid tzones is in included feature so it basically makes it free i.e. i only use the pre paid sim for a secondary line and on put $10 every 3 months to keep it active and i use the tzone for free and u can merge and all ur sim cards with one. An Ultra 5 in 1 sim card and have basically free t zone access. $3 a month and the 30 minutes u get coupled with the tzones is a far better deal than any other internet service for the iphone so far.

I just sold my 2G and bot a 3G. Just making changes to APN did not enable data transfer. I am assuming, I also need to update the preference file with proxy information. Can anyone please confirm this?

Hi all, If I call Tmobile and add the WebToGo for $9.99, and change APN to wap.voicestream.com, will that still give me unlimited or limit it to 100mb or something?

THanks

What happened to this hack? It’s still needed for T-Mobile ToGo Prepaid! I edited my proxy.pac manually, but it’s so much easier just to use Cydia. Please bring it back!

nevermind..now its working…hopefully i wont run into anymore problems!

I have the some problem yesterday was working fine and now it not some help me did you had it working len

There is no need for the Tzones Hack anymore the APN acts as the Hack

thanks guys! its working now. i actually talked to tmobile customer service last night via chat and i made sure my 5.99 plan was still there and they checked on it and fixed it.

please someone,,,anyone…help me with two things…
I am on 3G version 2.2..
1) can I upgrage to 2.2.1, if yes how do I do that pleasea.

2) how can I make my Tzone work…It was working fine on my 2G and now I got a 3G and its not working ..even with epc.tmobile.com

please help

Re: There is no need for the Tzones Hack anymore the APN acts as the Hack

YES THERE IS!

Why? For us ROGERS PAYGO users, this hack does wonders!!! Please do not remove it from the Repo!

THANKX!

I switched the APN to epc.tmobile.com rebooted and it works perfect, I only have the 5.95 tzones plan, remember to reboot as soon as you put this in your APN. just in case this doesnt work for you can try wap.voicestream.com and see if that works, it worked on a few things for me but no all. Hope this helps

**Must Read***

I have an unlocked Iphone using $5.99 tzones to get unlimited internet on the edge network. I bought my wife an Iphone and unlocked/jailbroke it about a month ago. I was saddened that I could not add $5.99 feature to get unlimited internet. After reading some forums, I decided to place my wife’s sim card into my old Razer (had the IMEI # just incase they asked) and asked for Tzones $5.99. Spent about 15 minutes trying to convince the cs rep that I did not need the $9.99 plan, it’s useless on my old Razer (you will only be limited to 100MB before TMobile charges you $0.20 additional MB if you add this feature).

Sure enough, they put Tzone on my wife’s phone, within minutes, my internet was up and running w/o the TZone hack. All you need is the EPC.TMOBILE.COM in the APN.

You don’t need to installed tzones hack anymore with the new version 2.2.1. go to setting, general. There you should see APN. Tab on it and there you type in wap.voicestream.com and reboot it. it should works better than the older version. Mine works perfectly now.

after getting the plan and putting in the apn, is it unlimited?
cause t-mobile is sayingthat it is limited access.

I have this same problem.. did anyone figure this out?

I was having the same problem. Have you tried turning off your phone then turning it back on. After I did that the APN setting poped up. Everthing is working now. Good luck.

Hi,

I have an 3g Iphone on 2.2.1. Currently on T-mobile. My specific SIM card do not have data plan. I have put my co-work SIM in which have the data plan. I put in the epc.tmobile.com turn on ROAM reset the phone. But still can not get online period. I do not think the E shown up as an indication that you have data though. It’s telling you that Edge technology is available. Anyhow, Need help what other setting that I might have missed.

Thanks a bunch.

First of all I wanna thank everyone for these awesome tips. Great work guys!! In my case, I included the $9.99/month T-Mobile web2go + 200 txt messages to my plan. But the catch is I am only given 50MB of data. That’s insane! Does anyone know whether or not I might be charged for additional bits, in other words, will I be paying more when going over 50MB?

I have same problem! On 2g it just has vpn. I put in epc.tmobile.com. It ultimately says no network connection. What so I need to do????

I have a 16GB 2g iPhone on TMobile – jailbroken and unlocked to 2.2.1 yesterday. I am facing the same issues as everyone else seems to be – no TZones hack is available in Cydia anymore. My iPhone does not show APN option anymore, only VPN.

I found this website-
http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/T-Mobile_APNs#Internet_with_VPN

where there is a possible entry that can be used. Can anyone tell me if they know if this will work, and if so what to input in the various slots on the VPN form of the phone – also, is it L2TP or PPTP or IPSec

I have the same problem! When I go under Settings-General- there is no APN…only a VPN!!

How can I get the APN to show up?

I have the 2g 8GB iphone and enter epc.tmobile.com as the APN but it doesn’t work.
I do get an internet connection using wap.voicestream.com, however I do not get the E appear only a circle (°).
Can someone tell me what the ° symbol means?

@ apj

I found this on another site. “The blue square with the dot is GPRS which is the very least internet you can get. You are guarenteed to have *at least* this type of the Internet, if not faster if you are in EDGE vacinity…which I’m not so i’m constantly seeing the blue square with white dot Unless I’m at home then its wi fi all the way ”

I have seen this as well and was curious. As for the issues with unlimited data, I have some answers, and a few questions. For the data plan to work, you have to sign up for something with tmobile. The cheapest plan that they “officially” offer, would be the 9.99 web2go for either 50mb+200 sms per month, or 100mb per month. My question: is this unlimited if you use either the epc.tmobile.com or the wap.voicestream.com?

Those of you who aren’t really reading any posts, YOU DON’T NEED THE CYDIA HACK (except for that Rogers guy).

Looks like EK solved the missing APN option.

I have spent quite some time researching all of this, and have found several people who have been able to coax tmobile reps into giving them tzones for the previous rate of 5.99, even though it’s not supposed to exist. Some tactics were threatening to switch to another provider, and some were just given it because the tmobile guy “liked the way [the caller] rolled”. I haven’t really tried this yet, but if I am successful, I will post. If you try this, please post too!!!

The 5.99 plan works, i just changed it to epc.tmobile.com and its back to normal

Just as fast plus unlimited MB
U have to call in and request it, There are guides online that will help as well, please note they DO STILL OFFER the 5.99 plan, they will just convince you not to

for those who are missing APN:

Uninstall “T-Mobile US Carrier” from Cydia
and reboot the iphone.

i have been having the same problem regarding the APN working. I have an Iphone 3g with firmware 2.2.1, using REBEL SIM to unlock. and just subscribed to the tzones for 5.99. But when i put the apn.tmobile.com in the network settings it doesn’t do anything. wont work, it says “Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet” i have rebooted and changed all sorts of settings but with no luck. i dont even have an EDGE nor a GPRS signal on the top lefthand corner. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE.

OMG!!!!! EK, you are the F*KIN[!] best. I had been looking on and off for about 2 days straight, until i came to this site.

I was having the problem of the actual APN area no even showing up in my network section. like everything else, I tried it and BAM! There was the ‘Cellular Data’ option.

If you’re having the problem of your APN not showing up, please follow EK’s advice; it worked for me, hopefully it wil work for you.

Again, thank you EK!!

I don’t think it really matters now, Cuss Tmobile just block all of the Tzone hack where it doesn’t works anymore. Now they saying that we need to buy the $24.99 with 400 text or 34.99 with unlimited everything. They just block it this wednesday or thursday.

tzone have been stop working!!! Helpppppppp

It works, But its not like before $9.99 a month now they asking for $24.99 with 400 text or $34.99 with unlimited text… That is scandulous how they change everything on tzone and now we have to put almost $20 bucks more just to have internet on our iphone.

go to apn and change it to internet2.voicestream.com and reboot it. it will work.

I have an iPhone (16Gig 3GS firmware 3.0). I got the web plan for 9.99, I tried epc.tmobile.com and internet2.voicestream.com and both does not work. iPhone is jailbreak and does not have turbosim. I’ve rebooted after making the APN chages, please help?

I am experiencing the same thing as H$ as well. I have the same exact 3Gs 16GB iPhone and also using $9.99 T-Zone plan, which doesn’t work. Called up T-Mobile and asked them WTF? And the reply I got from the T-Mobile rep is, all data and smart phone have to switch to the $24.99 unlimited web plan which I think it’s bulshit!! Even my Nokia E71 phone T-Zone doesn’t work as well.

there might be a new APN idn but i called tmobile and they said that we have 2 pay 24.99 for internet and other stuff because resently they clened out they system and blocked out all accounts that show up on there system as non-tmobile. all im sayign is we iphone users r F**KED and tmobile doesnt give a S**H. and they will lose all business and loss in money tmobile will flip out and what not but 4 no i just canceled my web2go and im just waiting for some 1 to come out with a new APN if not ohhh well and there is no damn way im going 2 pay 25 just for internet i rather join AT&T and get better internet speed then using edge from tmobile.

I uninstalled the tzones hack from my iphone 2G 2.0 OS because my web access is no longer working. How did you reactivate your tzones hack. Thank you.

1:48pm 10/2009. I got the T-zone hack to work. Just type in “elicebm1.voicestream.com” for the APN setting. For user name put in “TMOguest”. For the password put “01001010110101″. This should work for every iphone. Let me know how it turns out or if you cant get it to work.

Yay! I got it to work. Thanks Dr. Solution!

It didnt at first but after I reset the phone it works perfectlty. You are the man Dr. Solution. Do u know how to give a girl an orgasm? lol I bet you do. Again thanks.

Thanks alot dude.

Oh shit dude my bad I entered the wrong password. So sorry dude. Thanks for the help.

You are the best Cuddy.

:) Kudos to the Dr.

Go to Curia tweaks and install apn then you’ll have the apn setting..!¡¡¥•£€

Get Web To Go, And On The APN Settings use This Internet2.voicestream.com you will get the EDGE next to the tmobile icon and you dont need to turn the roaming on.
