Just got back from Best Buy and popped in my SIM card and BINGO! 3G appears! If it didn't I would've returned it on the spot.

Yea, let us know if it stops working. In my experience, you'll get a text from tmobile forcing you to upgrade your data plan, but there is a possibility that your fine, since Nexus S isn't sold *directly* by tmobile. If you payed full price (unsubsidized), then you have nothing to worry about, they can't change your data price.

Mine is working too. 5.99 Tzones. It took like 3 minutes to finally for my 3g to show but its up and running. So far so good. No dropped connections at all.

whats tzones?

whats tzones?

Its basically a $5/month data plan that only works with certain phones and you have to be grandfathered into it (ie, you cant sign up for it.. Its something you had to have had since 2000 or whenever tzones was popular and never cancelled). Since you are asking, you probably don’t have it and will not be able to get it

Not true; it's just the data plan for dumbphones.

The T-Mobile website automatically recognizes phones and makes you sign up for full ~$30~ data plans if you have a smartphone.

Of course, if you own a phone that T-Mobile doesn't sell directly, the website can't recognize the phone (so you're free to "select" a dumbphone).

And some of these phones that T-Mobile can't recognize are... The Nexus One and the Nexus S

I have tzone 599 plan too, I have notice that it works fine as long as I am on Tmo 3G coverage, as soon the phone goes to Edge. My data stops working.

Has any one else experience it?

Any way to solve this problem?

Thanks

NOT TRUE. it is the data plan for phones back from 2000 till they cancelled it around 2005. It will work on ANY dumb or SMART phone and it will work for tmobile smartphones as well, such as my vibrant and hd7. Tmobile MAY send a text message saying that you have a smartphone and they want you to upgrade to a "smartphone" plan but you do not have to. I personally have never gotten any texts or received anything like that from tmobile when I used an iphone, iphone 4, hd7, hd2, or vibrant. Only a few people have announced that tmobile pressured them into upgrading but it voids the contract and you can almost always talk your way out of them forcing you to upgrade your data plan.

The only exception is if you choose to upgrade your line, you will have to sign up for a "smartphone" data plan to go along with your 2 year service extension.

But the truth is, tzones will work with any phone regardless of its "smartness."

Didn't work with my G2, at all.

Worked on my N1 and NS though!

I had this exact same thing happen to me today. I figured TMO was forcing me into a more expensive data plan, but as soon as I was back to 3G it was working fine again. I don't have the $5.99 plan, just the $10/mo for dumbphones.

This may end up forcing me into a legit data plan in the end. I like having access to data, even @ edge speeds.

My problem is that it works great when i am on 3g, only it happens if it goes on EDGE for even few mins, it stops, then I have to reset it and see if it goes on 3G.

Ohh boy, I wish there was some sort of a hack ...

I really don't wanna go to higher data plan at this time of the economy :
