[Q] Will the Galaxy Nexus work with Tmobile web2go?

---

I have a Nexus 1 and have unlimited data working with the web2go $9.99 plan.
The Nexus S did not work with the web2go because Tmobile blocked it. They had the phones imei #'s. The Nexus one was sold by Google so Tmobile did not have the imei #'s
So going off these facts, If I buy the UK Galaxy Nexus will the web2go data plan work?

did the web2go give you edge speeds, or just 3g speeds? or did it give you HSPA as well? and my last question, will it also give you 4g in the galaxy nexus as well? (if it isn't blocked)

Yes it gives me 3g speeds. I think even HSPA+ speeds too (or what the nexus1 limits are capable of. Posted a pic of speed results i just ran)
About the 4g speeds in the galaxy nexus, well in theory if i web2go works then yes I would think that HSPA+ speeds would be achievable.

What is the "Web2go" plan? I don't get it. I'm a T-mo customer. I remember it being a pre-loaded app on my G2 when I bought it but saw no mention of it after that.

Its a $9.99 data plan for dumb phones. Tmobile knows if you are using a dumb phone or a smartphone though. So they wont let you use it, BUT certain phones like the nexus one and other unlocked phones can use this plan by messing with their APN settings.

I believe the setting is internet2.voicestream.com, right? If so, I think as long as the GN is unlocked, it should work. According to this link, GN works on T-Mobile.

BTW, I'm using a SE X10i from Norway on T-Mobile. No issue w/ internet2.voicestream.com. 3G & all works fine.

I remember setting the APNs to try to get this to work back in the day when I had a WinMo6 phone. This was...5, 6 years ago? Even back then they were blocking smartphones. I highly doubt you could get this to work today.

I'm using it now. Works great on my nexus one.

Yea... probably 5~6 yrs ago... Had SE X1i back then. Was getting only EDGE speed...

Well, up till today, I am still using internet2.voicestream.com. Still pay $9.99 per month. Gets EDGE, 3G, and HSPA depending on area's coverage... (Must say that T-mobile's 3G/H coverage isn't as good as AT&T, but it's cheap...)

I use SE X10i, unlocked, running custom CM7 ROM. Had it for 2 yrs and never had problem with internet2.voicestream.com setting.

Therefore, chances of the same setting working is likely... @ least I'm betting ~$800 on it... =S

Hmm...guess my problem was that I had a T-Mobile MDA (man, it took me a while to remember that name) so they had my IMEI...
