I think this will depend on where you are. For instance, T-Mobile does not have EDGE on its network in the UK as far as I know, just O2 and Orange have it here.
You will need an internet plan from TMobile, I don't think a Blackberry plan will work. Once you get an internet plan, on the Iphone, go to Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network/APN and type in: internet2.voicestream.com. No username or password is needed
I live on the east coast and have used this in New York.

i have the data plan for the blackberry, so it shouldnt matter. its wierd i see the "E" symbol on the top left, which means edge. but i cant get on the web or check the weather cause it says my edge is not activated. i tried using the internet2.voicestream.com 
Call or visit TMobile. When I had a similar problem, they knew just what to do. They have no problem with you using an unlocked iPhone, and their tech support people know all about it.
A blackberry plan is probably not going to work--you need TMobile Total Internet or, if you install some sort of hack, the cheaper TZones plan.

I'm running an unlocked 2G. I added TZones to my plan today and downloaded the Cydia TZones hack. Will this still work? It hasn't worked for me yet, but I'm assuming thats because it takes a couple of hours until I should be able to access TZones. Any help would be great. I've tried wap.voicestream.com, internet2.voicestream.com in the APN, but nothing.
Thanks in advance!
