I do not think it is true ".... 1MB data.... You can use all for MMS or you can use it for all the services...."

Since I mentioned on the previous post, for the grandfathered tzone, it includes 30 MMS.

Buddy if you want to call t-mobile for clarification then there number is 1800- 937 -8997 for landline or 611 from u r t-mobile's handset.

T-zones grandfathered $2.99 contains only 1MB of data and at that time mms was a part of GPRS service not it has been saperated from GPRS since nov/6 2003 and now it is a stand alone service.

So if you have T-zones $2.99 you get 1 mb of data per month. You can send 30 pic message send or recive or you can send 10 pic messages and then use the reset of the data bucket for something else (like downloading of ringtones and access e-mail and etc).

When u call t-mobile ask for WDG Level 1 or Level 2.
donot ask customer care they have no idea specially the NEW GMA agents.

I have a Treo 600 with the $4.99 t-zones.

I do NOT get the actual t-zones site, but I do have full web and email (pop3) access. I've been doing it this way for a little over a month now.
