What APN is used with T-Mobile prepaid? What would be a good option for someone who texts a lot, uses internet a lot, and doesn't use a lot of minutes?

I was thinking T-Mobile prepaid with skype/google voice, for data and calls. But that leaves the Text Messaging out.

Right now I have Unlimited data, unlimited text, and 500 mins for 60$ a month.

Thanks

I did the Onion Router thingie, there is NO limits. I go anywhere I go. There ONLY ONE, yes the ONLY ONE, that cannot go is download map related stuff, route, location etc. Otherwise, it goes everywhere.

I dont think I understand what you referring to. Maybe you need to spell it out a little bit?

If you referring to 14 min dl an 800 MB movie. I think that is absolutely fine. Firstly, it takes time to dl any movie, using emule/desktop/cable link, a movie dl takes a couple of weeks on and off, that is fine. You wnat it and want it now, then pay netflex or something like that. If you dont want to pay for it, it takes time.

2nd, my priority to use N900 is 'long distance phone use' and 3G/3.5G solved my needs more than adequately. Surf net faster is just a bonus for me.

3rd, instead of dl, I stream, be it 800 MB or 2.5 G movie, showtime starts less than 15 second! All from here LiveTV in my signature :)

Problem with 2G is Skype simply cannot work.

I thought you don't get data with t-mobile pre-paid, whats the deal, how did you get that, and what is the "Onion Router thingie" I really wana know so i can switch from at&t pre-paid

If you happy with it, stick with your plan. It takes time to learn a system and do things with the system. Going back to 3G, if you live in a city with 3G, and your primary need is skype phone call, tmob prepaid when need will save you a lot of dough.

N900 with 3g Makes it Top of the World!

Re: tmob N900 prepaid worked extremely well on 3/3.5G
 

It should be possible, and since using Tmobile is so important to N900 users I suggest that someone who understands how to use proxies really well write a howto on this subject.

Re: tmob N900 prepaid worked extremely well on 3/3.5G
 

I second!!!!!
I tried to set up proxy, on and off, for a couple of week, get NOWHERE. I know, I know, it is very easy, but, I cant get it, and i just cannot get it. I appreciate if some guru takes the time to write it out, step by step, TIA
