There must be some logic to how T-Mobile's plans fit together, but I haven't been able to figure it out. (Not that the maze is any simpler than other carriers'.)

What is this $5 plan being referred to — is it something that's no longer available or is it just well hidden? I haven't been able to find any information on it at all.

And the unlimited internet option for "other phones" on the website has two $19.95 choices — one with, one without that "web2go" feature — but not the $9.95 choice in the brochure I picked up when walking by a T-Mobile affiliate.

Rounding the figures, I've seen the cost listed as $5, $10, $20, $25 and $30 for being able to access the internet from an N900 (not to mention $40, $50 and $60 plans that are maybe plans for tethering a laptop to a phone, although not clearly labeled as keep-away-from-otherwise).

And, of course, since our family has a Sprint plan for our current phones, I don't really need to use T-Mobile's voice services for months and months to come.

Or is it still impossible to use T-Mobile 3G when I'm away from wifi without paying an exorbitant amount of money for the privilege?
