This guide is for T-Mobile users who have a jailbroken iPhone and want to get nearly full data services at 1/4 the cost of the normal Total Internet data plan (normally est $19.99). This does not require the T-zones hack from Cydia (the tzones hack actually made my iphone’s data not work w/tzones).
Requirements:
–Jailbroken or Simfree iPhone (obviously to use tmobile)
–Tmobile’s T-Zones internet data package ($5.99/mo)

The forums over at http://modmyi.com are the basis for this recipe. So this is what you could call a shared recipe. 🙂
After having a Jailbroken phone, go into Settings > General.
Then go to Network and then Cellular Data Network.
–Change the APN to: epc.tmobile.com
(if this does not work, you may need: wap.voicestream.com this is the older APN for tzones and works for certain areas only)
–Also be sure that “Data Roaming” is enabled from the Network screen.
NOTES:
-if you do have the total internet package, you can either use internet3.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com in the APN setting; use wap.voicestream.com as a last resort since its been reported the connection speeds are slower even for the total internet package payers.
-my configuration: iPhone 2.2 jailbroken, tmobile tzones $5.99 plan, location: MN USA, date: 11/10/08
–please post if you have success or not and your config/location/date
