    When I type in #WEB#, I get "This service is not available on your account". I am on a postpaid MyFaves Plan with a regular $24.99 Android data plan.
    Feeling the HSPA+ Love in NYC on my Nexus 4!

    The $24.99 data plan is a old plan (prior to the release of the Even More plans) so the #WEB# feature isn't available. Your plan was unlimited when it was first released. It could be throttled now if you upgraded to the newer terms and conditions. However, even if that was the case, T-Mobile never added the #WEB# feature to the older plans.

    I got the same thing, and I have the $20 per line Preferred Android.

    Tried the #web# feature for the first time. The amaze ics data meter is telling me i used 9.4 GB of mobile data, t-mobile says 6223.0702 MB of my unlimited plan.
    edit: Interestingly enough, i had 6Gb of data used before going to nyc a week ago. Been using the internet2 apn the entire time. Does the internet2 apn not count data? I have seriously used 9gb

    I am finding all of this very interesting. I recently got a Galaxy Nexus & so I naturally am using way more data (about 50 to 100 MB/day) now that I am not on a Motorola Charm on UMTS (~30 to 50 MB/day) or Flipout on EDGE (5 to 20 MB/day). I too am on the $30/5 GB/unlimited msg/100 min plan & since I don't stream anything besides the occasional YouTube clip, I believe I'll be well within the 5 GB cap. I hope they do fix the time-out issue on the throttled connection, though. 64 kbps as long as it has low latency & doesn't time out can actually work fine for small stuff that's not multimedia. It could hold me over for a couple days till my plan resets. I do think they ought to bump it up to maybe 128 kbps especially for users in 42 Mbps zones. 128 kbps is ~0.3% of their normal peak speed so I'd say that's an appropriate 'punishment'.
