The fact that the T's & C's have indeed changed is the truth. T-Mobile never cared (and still does not ) to inform me about this. I know this because 2-3 months before (if I am correct ) I am positive that there was no " T-Mobile Internet " ( the $ 29.99 Data Plan) idea. It was when T-Mobile found that too many people were using the Phone as a Modem that they introduced this plan and at the same time blocked Access. I still have access to T-Mobile Website when I use the GPRS option within the phone. If I tether the phone and use it as a GPRS Modem, no Website can be accessed.

I am willing to believe that they caught on to the idea that I was using the phone as a Modem, but if I had this plan for last 3 years and was paying the same amount of money, should it not mean that by restricting the access now, I have been gypped ? I say this because now also I have the same Phone Plan and am paying the same amount of money for a plan in which the option of use has been restricted further. This then has to mean that now, I am paying more for lesser Service/Access.

Not that I really care, it is simply the principles involved.


Whenever I try to access a website (using the The Nokia 770 to bluetooth into the Nokia 3650 Phone ) I get the following.

On a better ( happier ?) note, take a look at the following website. It gives some good insights about various carriers and their Data plans in USA.
