So I went to PR1.2, installed some apps, etc. Wireless works but no internet through my data plan. Finally today I got a message from web2go, "your current plan is not compatible with this device"!

I was paying $20 a month for a tmobile shadow data/text plan. It seems now that I updated to PR1.2 my phone is disclosing some additional information to tmobile?

Have you checked to be sure you're using the correct APN?

You have to change the access point name. If you have the $9.99, use internet2.voicestream.com. if you have the $20, i think its epc.tmobile.com

switched from epc.tmobile.come to internet2.voicestream.com and it works! I looked at my account and remembered I am paying 19.99 for unlimited text AND web. So I guess maybe its $9.99 for the web portion

Anyhow thanks for the assistance amigos

$68 a month total after taxes etc for 1500 minutes/unlimited text & web - not too shabby!

change the APN to internet2.voicestream.com, PR1.2 upgrade resets it to the default EPC

yes, you don't have to pay $20. you can use the 9.99 data plan

I think I found part of the problem, my phone keeps trying to connect to this network called MMS instead of Tmobile, which i believe was created by the fmms program.

I have a T-mobile pay as you go plan I purchased earlier this year.
Am I eligible for this service? If so, besides changing the APN, what else would I have to do?

Call tmo and tell them to put you on tmobile shadow unlimited web and text. There's no contract, it's month to month. 1500 anytime minutes, free nights and weekens for $50 is my grandfathered in plan from 3 or 4 years ago, and I get a 10% discount from tmobile through my company. So after the $10 odd in taxes and fees it comes out to $68
