Same here.. I still see the browsing icon and all that....

Did they agree to put the $5.99 t-zones with no problem?

I just called back, another lady was my Rep... for some reason it was not there. So she said she putted it back, but I just checked my account... still isnt there. Ill just wait another day or two.. and call back later.

The obvious reason that Tmo don't want you to get the $5.99 Tzone with the BB is that they want you to add the $19.99 unlimited plan, if you have unlimited texting (MMS, SMS) I believe it includes IMs as well, so there's no need to worry about the data charges made by IM applications. A thin line of crap, just a way to milk us.

I called and they added the 5.99 web plan but opera or tzones web browsing would not work so I called back in and the lady said that the 5.99 plan wont work. I also checked and for some reason the blackberry feature enabler and the 5.99 web plan wouldnt show up simultaneously on my account, it was either one or the other.

Did you guys make sure you set the apn settings before using opera mini?

I put in the apn settings that were listed on the wiki page but it still wouldnt work for some reason.

Same here.. just got back from the mall... Went to the sale Rep that sold me the BB. She tried to enable 5.99 T-Zone for me. An error popped up, saying that it wouldnt let me get both. Either T-Zone or BB Feature Enabled... Not both.... So I took the 5.99 and now on my screen, instead of "T-Mobile" it say "Data connection refu..." Any ideas?

As seen on my screenshot on me earlier post, tzones and blackberry enabler show up fine on my tmobile.com. And I can personally confirm that opera mini and JiveTalk work after I put in the apn settings. Lite feeds 2.5 also works too.

is unlimited tzones and unlimited t-mobile web the same thing cause the one you are paying for is 2.99 for some reason and when I added it, it showed up as unlimited t-mobile web 5.99.

That's the grand fathered price before they raised the price to 5.99, it used to be 2.99 lol it's exactly the same thing. I believe tmobile web was even at 4.99 once

I just called them again to add the 5.99 plan on but they said it wont work for the pearl and I have to get the 19.99 plan, is there any way I can just add it on myself?

Tell them that you alternate using phones and that you don't want t-zones on the Pearl but on your other phone, call a different rep if not successful. The first time I called some rep told me that there was no such thing as the "bb featured enabler", I called again and this time someone knew what it was, go figure.

APN: wap.voicestream.com
user/pass: leave it blank

Would I be able to use the Gmail bb app to check my mail if I got the BB feature enabler + $5.99 t-zones?

If JiveTalk works, I assume that app would too?

I called again and this time everything is working fine, thanks for the help everyone!

What did you tell them this time for them to add it? just curious.

I just called... again... this dude told me.. I can only get 1... either T-zone or Blackberry Feature Enable.... And I cant get both in the same number.. HmMMMm

Enable the blackberry plan with the csr on the phone. Afterwards log onto my tmobile.com and change the phone to some basic phone. Then you'll be able to get the 5.99 plan by yourself on the website.

I said I alternate between my pearl and my razr so I need both and he was like okay.

When I go on my t-mobile the 5.99 plan still doesnt show up but everything is still working, I hope its not charging me separate.

Tried to do this, went on the T-Mobile website, the T-Web isnt in the option.

Guess its not my luck or something. I called the rep like 5 times already. Saying I need it both for my Blackberry and Samsung. They kept on telling me, I cant get both at the same time.

The guy's name that I spoke to was Jason, IIRC. I dont know if you can ask for him specifically.

Guys, any idea on the MMS features? I have the BB Feature Enabler on my account.

did you try taking the battery out and reinserting it?

Yea plenty of times - how would I know if its working or not?

Just got off the phone again.. still.. same thing... cant do it.......... well guess I'm gonna have to go back to 19.99 a month ^^;

One way to check is when you go to compose message you should see compose mms. Another way is to go to options > advanced options > service book and look for mms config [wap]

might need to go to options, advance options, host routing table, and then you need to register now.

it'll resend service books.

I just want to make sure they are charging me 5.99 instead of the 19.99, any way I can check? When I go to tzones then web it still shows that screen where it says you can get unlimited tmobile web for 5.99 but I can still go to a web page. Also when I check in my t-mobile on their web site it doesnt list either one.

I don't have any internet plan and Opera Mini still works! I would keep calling, they keep track of how many times you call them and sooner or later they will call you to find out what your problem is.

Just got done with another Rep.. 2 hours ago. I asked him to check is there any way my Sim Card can have both T-Web and Blackberry feature enabled. He putted me on hold.. thought I got it too work. He came back and told me... I have to call in Customer Support everytime I use my Samsung... for T-Web and Blackberry for.. the Picture messaging.

Thats bull...

Confirmed :(

Was told i would have to choose one or the other.I cant have both.
So I think ill keep my messaging and live without the email.
I cant see paying 20.00 more a month for email :/
I can pretty much get anything at my tmomail account anyway.

maybe ill look into a program that auto forwards my email to my .tmomail.com account.

Yea it's not there. What now?

Try to resend the service books just as MegaMan X suggested.

I wonder if i was to call TM and tell them im not using my BB anymore and got a razr.Would they then be able to give me tzone and text messaging?

lol... Yeah that would probably work!

lol just went to my t-mobile and changed my phone type.The option was now there for tzone 5.99 package.When I click on it I get a error message thats says cannot select while BB enabler is selected.
So yea cant have both unless i get a data plan and a message plan.

lol...Keep trying dude, it worked for karaokesuperstar! I have not tried because Opera Mini still works!
