According to a forum at HowardForums, T-Mobile has a new internet data plan that is free and allows unlimited usage, but it isn't totally open like the for-pay plans.
• Every single one of their voice plans has unlimited WAP browsing, but it also allows regular HTTP browsing.
• It only allows access to ports 80 (web surfing), 25 (smtp mail sending) and 110 (pop mail port) to be accessed though. So no SSL, FTP, instant messaging, etc.
If you need to connect to SSL sites, want to use instant messenger, use VPN to connect to your office, use Terminal Server or Citrix over the internet, FTP or other internet apps, you'll need to pay for the $30/mo. unlimited plan they introduced this past summer. It is only $20 if you have a voice plan. For basic internet access though, you can't beat free! :mrgreen:
