They probably need your N900 IMEI number to associated it with your account. Should be able to fixed it while you are on the phone. With then. Best to call them on an another line.

So can the $10 unlimited plan be added to the N900 easily, settings-wise? If I call them and need to give them my IMEI, won't they force me to get on their smartphone plan?

The results should be the same. Although for safety's sake, I called T-Mobile and had them send me the internet settings config file to my phone. This setup uses epc.tmobile.com and thats what i have been using. the 3G areas work well with a solid connection and high transfer rate.

See its this kind of support from Tmobile that makes me stick with them. They ALWAYS try to help - sometimes they cant but they ALWAYS try. No just trying to get you off the phone and onto the next call.

Carriers have always been able to find out the IMEI, and some will make service changes if, for example, they see the encoded model number matches one of their offered smart phones.
I've changed phones numerous times and have never been asked to provide this before.
