The 5.99 plan only gives you access to specific outbound ports. They are listed here: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/T-Mobile_Data
For web browsing, they give you a proxy server running at 216.155.165.50:8080. The other ports are basically for email, and virtually nothing else.
But the 19.99 plan should give you just about everything, although I think they still restrict some streaming services in some cases -- seems to vary by market and how old your account is.
In any case, you can try out the 19.99 plan for a few days, then switch back to the 5.99 plan, and they will pro-rate the charges. Or you can step up to the 19.99 plan if you are going on a trip, then put it back to the cheaper web-only plan when you get back home. They don't make you renew your contract or anything like that for simple changes.
