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 https://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:

</plist>

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.

Same thing happened here and I did reboot. It still just shuts down anything I use, like Weather, or Mail, everything shuts off after a couple seconds.

try using services.app to set the edge settings

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!

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

Reply
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.

Reply
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!

Reply
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?

Reply

These instructions are crap. How the original steps don’t even say to “back up your original file first”? Dont mess with these intrustions

Reply
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

Reply
Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 24, 2007 at 2:48 PM

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

Reply
Sean // Oct 26, 2007 at 12:41 AM

If your on 1.1.1, Apple made the Edge settings automatically erase after a reboot.

for all of you having problems, try directly downloading the proxy.pac and preferences.plist

Reply
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

Reply
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

Reply

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

and also how can i backup the file…thanks in advance

Reply
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
