Why spend $19.99 for T-Mobile’s unlimited internet when you can get the same service using T-Mobile’s $5.99 T-Zones Plan. It is fairly easy to get the $5.99 T-Zones plan to work on your iPhone, you just have to follow a few easy steps below. Everything will work just as it does over Wi-Fi, such as, You-tube, mail, maps, weather, and stocks.
UPDATED for firmware 2.0-2.1: Go to Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network -> Enter epc.tmobile.com for the APN and leave the username and password blank.
For firmware 1.1.4 and below: just add the LEI installer source and have installer install the hack for you. Please follow the guide to add http://limitededitioniphone.com/lei.xml
Guide To Install Limited Edition iPhone’s Source
First: Enter APN, username and password Go to ‘Settings’ -> ‘General’ -> ‘Network’ -> ‘Edge.’ For the APN field enter wap.voicestream.com. Make sure the username and password fields are empty.
To Start you will need to copy a file called “Proxy.pac“. You can download and unzip or
You can create this file by opening a notepad and cut and copy this code
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 216.155.165.50:8080";
else
return "DIRECT";
}
Now name it as proxy.pac
PLEASE DO NOT SAVE THE FILE AS proxy.pac.txt but proxy.pac
and upload it to: /private/var/root
(if by exploring your phone you dont see the change in file name ,download mobile finder on your mobile thorugh ibrickr and rename it on your iphone itself….)
After Copying download the file below:
http://rapidshare.com/files/55487664/preferences.plist.html
Or
http://files-upload.com/files/507698/preferences.plist
Or create your own and save it as preferences.plist and make sure its NOT preferences.plist.txt:

and go to
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and backup preferences.plist. Then transfer your new preferences.plist you downloaded or created.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO TOUCH THE EDGE SETTINGS OR APN SETTINGS. JUST REBOOT YOUR iPHONE AND YOU ARE DONE!!
Don’t check your edge settings after the hack. It does something to the plist file and everything stops working!!
Everything should be working with the $5.99 t-zones plan. Speeds are just as good as the $19.99 plan.
You can check you speed by going to: iPhone NetWork Test on your iPhone
-Thanks Wizkid
UPDATE: Here is a different tutorial if the other one did not work for you:
first on your phone go to Settings/General/Network/EDGE/
set your APN to wap.voicestream.com
leave user and pass blank
the copy this code into notepad/ text edit and save it as proxy.pac (PLEASE DO NOT SAVE THE FILE AS proxy.pac.txt but proxy.pac)
Code:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 10.23.8.3:8080";
else
return "DIRECT";
}
connect via SSH and save this on your iphone in “/private/var/root”
next you want to find “private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist”
on your iphone and copy it to your desktop.
make a backup, and then open the file and search in it until you see
Code:
key>DeviceName</key> <string>ip1</string> <key>Hardware</key> <string>com.apple.CommCenter</string> <key>Type</key> <string>com.apple.CommCenter</string>
and right there you want to add this
Code:
<key>Proxies</key>
<dict>
<key>ProxyAutoConfigEnable</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>ProxyAutoConfigURLString</key>
<string>file:///private/var/root/proxy.pac</string>
</dict>
so the whole thing looks like this
Code:
<key>DeviceName</key>
<string>ip1</string>
<key>Hardware</key>
<string>com.apple.CommCenter</string>
<key>Type</key>
<string>com.apple.CommCenter</string>
</dict>
<key>Proxies</key>
<dict>
<key>ProxyAutoConfigEnable</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>ProxyAutoConfigURLString</key>
<string>file:///private/var/root/proxy.pac</string>
</dict>
<key>com.apple.CommCenter</key>
then save this back to where you got it “private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist”
now you should be able to connect to tzones!
Don’t check your edge settings after the hack. It does something to the plist file and everything stops working!!
People are reporting that if you delete and re-upload the files a few times it will eventually work.
If you are still having problems, download services from installer. Turn off edge and then turn it back on. Select the T-zones option that pops up. It should be working again.
I was getting an internal error and 502 error while Safari said COMVERSE. Services fixed that for me.

5 Limited Edition iPhone
// Oct 16, 2007 at 4:16 pm
u’ll need to see if u have an ip address from tmobile. dial *3001#12345#* then call. clik on pdp info, pdp0. you should have an ip. if u don’t, wait. and my apn is set to wap.voicestream.com. i used this for both tzones and the total internet.
according to some posts on hackintosh, some ppl’s ip addy is different than 10.X.X.X. those ppl had to edit their files to reflect the differences.

After following this procedure and rebooting, I received the “Invalid SIM” error and my T-Mo SIM is no longer working. I used anySIM to unlock and I’m on 1.0.2… any recommendations? Thanks!
15 Limited Edition iPhone

That should not of happened. You must of did something else. Just try reactivating it again

17 lax009
// Oct 18, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Other than leaving iTunes open through this procedure (which I guess could have mucked things up), I don’t think I did anything else. Regardless, I’ll try unlocking again. Running anySIM a second time gave me a “This phone cannot be unlocked. Please restart your phone after anySIM exits” error halfway through. I assume I need to do a restore using the instructions from the dev team’s site.

Download mobile finder on your mobile through ibrickr or installer and make sure its labeled proxy.pac and not proxy.pac.txt. Rename it on your iphone itself if you need to.
20 lax009
// Oct 19, 2007 at 4:00 pm
Does anyone know where I can find the original preferences.plist file that comes with the iPhone? I didn’t back mine up (stupid) before following the procedure. Thanks!
21 lax009
// Oct 20, 2007 at 5:07 pm
Okay, disregard that last comment. On line 6 of the preferences.plist file, there is a string value. Does this /Sets/… value need to be something specific to your phone?
22 learn
// Oct 24, 2007 at 1:38 pm
These instructions are crap. How the original steps don’t even say to “back up your original file first”? Dont mess with these intrustions
23 learn
// Oct 24, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Sorry the instructions dont suck, I do. I don’t know if it didn’t work the first time because i just added tzone and maybe it wasn’t fully active, but follow the instructions above and download the proxy.pac.
Thank You

backing up files that you modify is always a must. anyone who is going to mod should always make backups… Anyways I am glad it worked for you sometimes it takes a few days for t-zones to be activated

37 truehybridx

for all of you having problems, try directly downloading the proxy.pac and preferences.plist
instead of making it through notepad

40 truehybridx
// Nov 13, 2007 at 6:35 pm
you can use WinSCP, but you need a wifi router to connect your iphone to.
or just use ibrickr but that one gets tricky
41 truehybridx
// Nov 13, 2007 at 6:39 pm
ok best way to do this is method 1.
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP A BACKUP OF prefrences.plist
download! both the files already made and use ibrickr to put the files where they go
42 Weezy
// Nov 13, 2007 at 6:54 pm
sorry for the noob questions, but i never used Scp. When i open the app, what do i do next?? i dont see any files anywhere
43 Weezy
// Nov 13, 2007 at 6:56 pm
and also how can i backup the file…thanks in advance
44 truehybridx
// Nov 13, 2007 at 7:03 pm
ok when you open up SCP you have to put in the ip address of your phone, you need it on wifi tho.
from there you input the user name of root and the password of dottie (if your on 1.0.2) or alpine (if your on 1.1.1)
if you have no idea what I’m talking bout just download ibrickr and do it through USB

51 Limited Edition iPhone
// Nov 13, 2007 at 7:50 pm
make sure you select SCP. Then click login. You will have to wait a few minutes the first time untilyou get the keys. If it says disconected waiting. Let it continue.

this works great if you just directly download the files rather than copying and pasting in notepad. the only thing is, my YouTube doesn’t work. :[ when i search, it just says “YouTube not available”
55 truehybridx
// Nov 18, 2007 at 9:54 am
yea youtube is funny that way……. no really for some reason i cant find a fix to make yourube FULLY work
heres wht i came up with until they figure something out.
just bookmark your fav videos the next time your on wifi, if you do that then you can view em when your on EDGE

I too am getting the comverse error. Everything was working fine for a few days, but now only yahoo homepage will work. I read on another forum that t-mobile has started blocking people using tzones on phones that tzones is not intended for. Is this true? Any ways around this?
70 Mike
// Dec 10, 2007 at 10:10 am
I have read the same about T-Mobile blocking this also, but that has not been confirmed enough to assume that is the issue.
I am also having problems with this, but I think I might just have to wait a little longer, if not and the hack has been blocked, no biggie, that’s the nice part about this hack, it’s cheap.
I added the T-Zone about 2 days ago, received a text message from T-Mobile stating my services have been activated, but when i check PDP info, I have no IP Address.

hi, I have an updated phone to version 1.1.2 and with firmware 04.02.13_G . which guide should I follow? should I do the : UPDATED: just add the LEI installer source and have installer install the hack for you. Please follow the guide to add http://limitededitioniphone.com/lei.xml
72 Limited Edition iPhone
// Dec 13, 2007 at 4:54 pm
yeah just use the installer source. If you are having problems with it, do it the manual way. Also T-Mobile has been shutting this hack down and it only works on certain towers.

do I install with hi-wi off?
what do I do after installin t-zone’s hack? I have not registed for the $5.99 t-zones yet.

First: Enter APN, username and password Go to ‘Settings’ -> ‘General’ -> ‘Network’ -> ‘Edge.’ For the APN field enter wap.voicestream.com. Make sure the username and password fields are empty.
Then launch installer over wifi and install the hack. Your done. Wait till you get a text from T-Mobile saying T-Zones is activated

im also getting the faulty connection i was wondering did they officially block the tzone service? Also with the recent people getting the edge to work did you just sign up?

I am trying to use the installer source at:
http://limitededitioniphone.com/lei.xml
I first install it, then I reboot the iphone, but once the Iphone is rebooted, the wifi would not work anymore.
When I goto *3001#12345#* and click on “PDP Information” nothing happens. The only thing that does happen is that “PDP Information” disappears.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling a bunch of times. I have tried turning off EDGE and turning it back on.
I have already received a text message from T-mobile stating this:
“Free T-Mobile Msg: We made the change you requested to your account effective Dec 14 07. Visit http://My.T-Mobile.com for details on your current plan.”

I forgot to mention that if I reboot the Iphone again, the wifi will work again.
So here is what happens:
-Install T-Zone’s Hack
-Reboot
-No wifi and no Edge.
-Reboot
-Wifi works, but still no Edge.

try using services.app to enable and disable edge and wifi. Turn of edge. Then turn it back on and select tzones when the option pops up

I have tried using “Services” App. Version 0.6.7 By Chris Hoffman. Here is what I’m doing:
-Turn off EDGE
-No service (carrier @ topleft)
-10 seconds later, ervice comes back on (Full bar T-Mobile)
-Turn on EDGE
-No service again, and 10 secs. later, service comes back on.
Nothing pops up for me to select T-zone when I turn EDGE back on.
-Service

i for some reason cant get the hack to work i did all steps correct i know or at least think i did it tells me i dont have permission when i open safri

Ok I found out why nothing popped up when I turn EDGE back on, you have to turn it on when it says “No Service.”
I have a few more questions still:
-After installing the LEI source, do I just reboot while still in the installer, or do I click on the home button and then reboot?
-After installing the LEI source, how long does it take before EDGE comes on? (T-mobileweb activation confirmed)
Thanks.

click the home button and then reboot. You will get a text message when tmobile has activated your tzones.

I loaded the tzones hack several weeks ago and everything was working perfect but I needed to switch back to the total Internet with hotspots package because I now need the hotspots. Now my total Internet will not work. I have internet2.voicestream.com as the apn. Hotspots is working fine at all the starbucks I have tried. Every once in a while the weather app will load and I am not getting any errors. Is there a way to undo the tzones hack settings so my total Internet will work again?

Rick how did you get it on your phone? if you installed it through installer just uninstall it.
Ian you need tmobile but it may work with other carriers if you modify the file.

I had originally used the manual way explained above, but it did not work. Then I used installer, and that did work. Already uninstalled the tzones hack. Now I am noticing that I am receiving my email through my yahoo and gmail account, and sometimes the weather app will update. Everything else does not work. Stocks, web pages, etc. It looks like it is trying to load but is so slow it times out.

Try to manually uninstall it. make sure you delete the proxy.pac file and edit your preferences.plist

I know how to use ibrickr to delete the proxy.pac, but what do I do to edit the preferences.plist? Also, if I do this and need to go back to tzones at a later time, will the tzones hack take care of everything for me?

follow the guide: http://limitededitioniphone.com/windows-guide-to-using-winscp-with-iphone/
you can right click on the preference.plist file within winscp and click edit. Edit the file and then click save.

Or if you have your backup file still upload that. You made a backup right?? If not just follow the guide to manually edit the file.
103 Rick
// Dec 26, 2007 at 11:56 am
I did not back it up. Stupid me. Would you happen to have the original proxy.pac file?
104 Limited Edition iPhone
// Dec 26, 2007 at 1:22 pm
there is no original proxy.PAC file. Just delete it.
105 Rick
// Dec 26, 2007 at 2:17 pm
Sorry, I meant to say the original preferences.plist file, before he tzones edit

use the code above but delete whats in red and then save it a preferences.plist.

I could not get it to work no matter what I have been trying. Can’t get the total internet to work, so I ran the tzones hack again with everything working. Only thing is I am paying for tzones now along with total internet with hotspots. Is there a way you could add the total internet settings to the limitededitioniphone source folder?
108 Limited Edition iPhone

make sure you change your apn.
internet2.voicestream.com
username/password blank

I just added your source.
I would like to confirm if the “T-Zone’s Hack” package do the trick and not require any additional steps as noted above “manually.”
Thanks

type wap.voicestream.com for the apn and nothing for the username and password. Then install the hack from my installer source.
