TMO Sidekick Prepaid Plan Not Working?

[minabeshara]

Has anyone else not been able to connect to the internet using Tmobile's $1/day unlimited Sidekick prepaid plan?

I can still check email via the native app, and I can make phone calls and texts, but I cannot use Safari or any other app that requires an internet connection.

Any ideas or fixes?

Have u tried changing the apn?

I've tried all of the known working APN settings to no avail. The settings were working up until Saturday night, then nothing.

Well I heard on the t-mobile forum around last night that it stopped working in some markets even with the changed apn

[minabeshara]

Stopped working permanently? Or is this just a temporary issue that I should just wait out? Are there any other unlimited prepaid solutions for data only that I can look into?

T-Mobile shut it down over the weekend. Only other prepaid option in the USA is ATT for 2G iPhones.

[minabeshara]

ATT has an unlimited data prepaid plan?

There are already a couple of strings about this on the prepaid forum.
