Grandfathered $5.99 T-Zones Data: Discuss All Related Questions Here ONLY

[bdestroyer8418]

I tried it on the chat and calling in. They told me on the chat its not compatible with that Loyalty plan and on the phone couldn't find it. Ill try again.


Just did another chat and got it added just said Tzone internet in the message. Then told her I was offered Tzones earlier in the month when talking to the rep and said didnt want it added at that time. Then I said he told me to use the code that in this post when I call back was added on within 1 min to my account.

cheers

All too easy. Had Blackberry Feature enabler on my account for my 8320. Gave a generic script asking to add the plan including the SOC code. was put in hold, told that the BB feature enabler was incompatible, and of course had no problems removing it. 5.99 Tzones is now mine. However, i'm going to take it off again. Don't need it til August when i'm going abroad for a couple months. NO DATA roaming charged ON THIS BABY! WOO HOO!

what are you talking about?

Your supposed to be charged roaming data rates, but the one time i left to sweden, i wasn't charged anything. So, be prepared to be charged roaming data rates but be happy if they don't charge you.

There is a thread somewhere here on howardforus that has this feature of the 5.99 Tzones well documented... No addtional roaming charges..

w00t, just switched over to Tmobile. Do any of you guys know what I have to do in the settings for a HTC Touch 3G?

I haven't done this in a LONG time, so I need some help. I heard that "wap" doesn't work and there's a different one, but could you guys please guide me in the right way if you know how?

I'm assuming all Windows Smartphones use the same settings. Thanks!!!

THANK YOU to everyone who posted their success stories online. I called 6 or 7 times, tried the online chat a couple times, and then made one final attempt to customer service and had a rep that was willing to add it! HOORAY!!!

A couple words of wisdom... Call Tmobile customer service on the weekends. The woman I spoke to was very friendly and told me the main managers aren't around on weekends and the reps are able to make exceptions. ;-) Also, try and just ask about tzones 1st...they have a plan for the razr that is $10 a month for 100Mb download. This is when I acted depressed that it was going to cost so much and dropped the inquery about the 5.99 Tzones plan. I was put on hold for about 5 minutes while the rep searched for the code. Then she came back on and said she added it! Yippeee...

I little friendly chatter alsways helps too...

I have also tried in vain to find the thread that had many different users experiences. But it definitely was there.

First shot at adding Tzones through live chat = SHOT DOWN

I was transferred to the supervisor too, but both the rep and the supervisor mentioned it is not available anymore. They both offered Web2Go + Text for $9.99, but I only want the Tzones for $5.99

my girlfriend is trying to get tzones on her behold and tmobile is refusing to put it on....i got lucky last month and got it and now its grandfathered. i keep calling and they keep refusing

my contract is over with t-mobile and when I talked to the retention center, they said they could do it only if they extend the contract by a year..

[eduong503]

update- still a go guys! i just added 5.99 tzones for my gf today through chat. here is a hint, dont select product and services, then tzones because you will chat with a technical service person. just choose billing and connect to a regular customer service rep.

thanks, I was able to get t-zones for$5.99 on the account for my friend using this method....did not get any hassle....

choose billing and billing inquiries.

You are kidding right? I promised not threatened to just pay ETF after they denied me $4.99 t-zones back. This how it was added to my account. You know what? they will make more money off me finishing out my contract than if I'd paid the ETF and moved on. I will never be under contract again, no reason to be.

Guys...be quick on this because I have a feeling it may REALLY be gone soon.

Someone posted this on slickdeals, which forced me to act even quicker. I called twice on the phone and got it on the 2nd try (failed online twice).

Of course it's great to share with others, but now a lot of people are trying it.
