I'm planning on getting an iPhone 3G on eBay or craigslist and unlocking it to use with T-Mobile. I heard that with the old T-Zones plan, people were able to use it as an iPhone data plan. They don't offer that plan anymore and now they have a $9.99 unlimited web plan and a $19.99 unlimited web and messaging plan. These are for regular phones (non-smartphone). I have an unlimited messaging plan which I plan to replace with the unlimited web and messaging plan so I can use it with an unlocked iPhone. Does anyone know if this plan will work with the iPhone? Or will I have to buy the $34.99 smartphone unlimited web and messaging plan? Somebody please reply I really need to know!
 
i actually called t-mobile yesterday to check my plan, might switch to at&t, but i have a family plan with unlimited text for everyone and for my 3g i have the 19.99 data plan and works fine with APN setting internet2.voicestream.com FYI.

but i didn't know that the 19.99 already included messaging, is that unlimited?

regardless the data will work and if it is indeed unlimited messaging then take it, its an excellent deal.
