Alright guys, this might sound pretty crazy to you, but it works!!!
I've officially been trying to get my $5.99 T-Zones back for a few months now, and i've done everything from going into a store and basically pour my heart out into a representative behind the counter , TO calling 611 and speaking to the representatives behind the scenes (i've called WELL OVER 20 times...) .
And so, Havoc shall begin:
1. Called T-Mobile (611), spoke to lady about changing my service from $34.99 internet package to the $5.99 t-zones, and she said it was no longer available .... so I told her I wanted to switch to the $9.99 web2go plan, and she said I couldn't , because I had a smartphone...
2. I then told her that I would be using the web2go on my basic slider samsung phone, and she asked for the IMEI ... I told her I didn't have it, and i'd call back in a few minutes... but I asked her to (Note my account that I was switching internet plans)...
3. Called T-Mobile back (after getting my little samsung slider's IMEI), said (english), and then when it prompts for (what are you calling about), say "RETENTIONS" ... you'll go to the cancellation department..
4. The guy got on the line... I told him I was going to switch to the old $5.99 t-zones plan (which is grandfathered..), but the last rep needed my IMEI, which I didn't have...
5. I gave him this code (TZUNL599) and told him that SHE said to give it to him before I give him the IMEI..
6. Gave him the IMEI from the samsung
7. he SUCCESSFULLY switched it to the $5.99 plan
8. I typed in my APN on my iPhone
settings>general>network>cellular data network > APN = internet2.voicestream.com
settings>general>network>cellular data network > APN = internet2.voicestream.com
Note:
Sometimes, after switching internet plans, you'll go into settings>general>network> and (cellular data network) will not be there....
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
Upgraded to 3.0 and my APN settings were just gone and my 5.99 t-mobile wasn't working at all. Finally downloaded the iphone configuration utility from apple (CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD) and created a new "configuration profile" the only thing I needed to do is give it a name, a unique identifier (another name), and in the Advanced section enter internet2.voicestream.com as the APN. Connected my iPhone to the computer and installed the new profile. Here's the important part: the APN option is STILL missing in my network settings, but my tmobile internet access is working now.... and i'm only paying $5.99 !!!
Good luck guys :D
Most of us had speculated that it would be at least another week before the Dev Team had released any more information on Ultrasn0w, but it looks like (as of 5:00AM this morning), they have released the FIRST EVER software unlock for the iPhone 3G, running 3.0 firmware!!!
Here's how it goes:
- Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
- Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool (this will also install Cydia/Icy)
- Run Cydia or Icy
- Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.
- Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
- Reboot your iPhone 3G
- T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
- Enjoy
Let us know your feedback in the comments section!!!
The dev-team has come through once again, and finally released their tools to Jailbreak & Unlock the iPhone 3G running firmware 3.0 !!!
Here's the blog link:

I'll edit this post shortly, with links to downloads & etc...
Congrats to Dev's !!!
