I really don't think T-mobile cares about this at all..

The truth is, the GSII users here represent about .5 % of T-mobile customers (maybe less)

out of that .5 % I will guess only .1% even go over their limit every month..

Out of that .1% I bet only .33% use this trick..

At the end of the day.. t-mobile is lucky to even know about this..

This is all guessing of course :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kvizz:
Weird.....

just did a few tests.... the ORIGINAL epc.tmobile.com apn seems WAAAAAAY faster than the voicestream apn.

epc.tmobile.com - average of 11mbps

voicestream - average of 5mbps

gonna stick with the original since i got throttled anyways.

and will keep checking speeds and comparing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
Yeah...on average the original APN is much faster than the voicestream.

Have been using the trick for the past few months, unfortunately it seems as if T-Mobile has throttled their old APN now too!

Just this month, got the push notification and they throttled me.

HOLE FIXED?

Hopefully someone finds another hole soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Thanks guys despite all the warnings I gave you earlier in this thread to close it and stay quiet about the apn, the mods ignored it and let so many people keep bumping this and a few idiots purposely wasting data...

As a result all of us have been throttled permanently....I hope you're happy now... you guys got your wish

Had to go and ruin a good thing...

hate to say it but I told you so
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mojorisin7178:
Therer is another apn to the network but I think that they got that one too. I was usinf three on a rotation and I only started after I got close to my limit. But it seems as though they figured it out sooooo oh well now it is time to find something else. This never should have been a public thread it should have been kept too private mssge to only people that other people trusted.

Oh I almost forgot did anyone get a legal notice from tmo? I just got an email from them. I am not sure if it has anything to do with this or not but it looks like they might be treating this like we were on a roming network I am going to try top post the email.

Important Notice about Domestic Data Use While Off the T-Mobile Network

Beginning on April 5, 2012 there will be a limit on the amount of data that can be used while a T-Mobile customer's device is connected to another provider's network ("off network" or "domestic romaing"). Customers that are domestically roaming will receive free text message usage alerts for data. If the roaming data limit is exceeded for a Rate Plan, then data service will be suspended from off-network roaming until the start of the next bill cycle or a qualifying change is made to the Rate Plan. This will not impact: (1) voice usage, and (2) data usage on the T-Mobile network.

To determine domestic roaming areas, see the T-Mobile data coverage map by visiting www.T-Mobile.com/Coverage. The domestic roaming data allowance for each Rate Plan is outlined in the chart below. To use this chart, review the Current Rate Plan Full Speed Data Allotment column to identify the megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB) included in your Rate Plan, and then see the domestic roaming data usage limit that applies on the right. The megabytes of gigabytes for a Rate Plan can often be found by reviewing the Available Service section on page 1 of the bill (ex: Classic Simple 200MB Data Promo) or by dialing #WEB# send from your mobile phone.

Current Rate Plan Full Speed Data Allotment	New Domestic Off Network (Romaing) Data Limit

1MB to 199MB	5MB

200MB to 1.99GB	10MB

2GB to 4.99GB	50MB

5GB to 9.99GB	100MB

10GB and above	200MB

Mobile Web Pay Per Use	10MB

So i dont know if that has anything to do with it or not I am just wondering
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ApexZeph:
No this message is about Tmo's new domestic data roaming policies that will be going into effect shortly. Before now you had the freedom to use your allotted data allowance per your plan wherever you chose whether within Tmo native coverage areas or roaming but as you can see there are new policies taking effect which will leave many people who live outside of Tmos native areas in the dark as 10mb out of 2gb is a sad percentage indeed. Rest assured however that this has nothing to do with the APN trick.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
I don't think that would make a difference..t-mobile network might be retarded but their employees float around xda.who ever they might be they know themselves..however, since this has been around since flip phones then g1.. It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I see this trick as a pipe flowing with water one end leaks(hole in their system network) then they patch it after a while it leaks again and again and again...

no need for me to say anything else...since you think you know everything and actually think this thread is actually what made Tmobile shut the apn down lol

the joke really is on you....I hate to say it but I actually was trying to do you guys a favor
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cjtaurus18:
No wifi at home so i use a lot of data..This t-mobile throttle speed is like a snail!!! I can't take this anymore! I'm thinking about switching to Sprint from T-Mobile in the near future. The Sprint is the only national carrier right now with truly Unlimited data while on the Sprint network. Also 4G LTE is coming to sprint by mid-2012 and the first LTE device coming to Sprint is the Galaxy Nexus 4.0 ICS. I can't wait...Goodbye T-mobile! Hello Sprint, here i come!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] novanosis85:
Don't do it yet!!! Wait for the LTE to come first. I just left sprint because the 3G is horrible. I'm in Chicago and right now the 5GB is doing me fine. I pay $30 less than sprint too. Don't leave until that LTE has rolled out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidtoy09:
Agree! Sprint 3G is the worst among the big 4. My company uses Sprint and it sux. I also have friends with Sprint. They all agree lol. Tmobile has less expensive plans AND better 3/4G coverage/speed than Sprint.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twiztidninja:
if you have ever been throttled on tmobile thats how it is on sprint all the time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xhyperion:
I humbly disagree. This is worse. I could play Starcraft 2 or WoW on my Epic via tethering. It lags a little but was playable. Just couldn't download ****.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cjtaurus18:
I'm agree 3G sprint sucks but I live in Chicago and the 4G coverage here is excellent. For now since that the Sprint galaxy nexus 4G LTE is not out yet I'm getting the white epic 4G touch then i'm going to trade it to galaxy nexus 4G LTE. I just can't stand the throttling anymore. I want truly unlimited data.

Never going to find it. Hard to find that even for internet landlines.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nevrlow:
Agreed. Thats what happens when you are on ghetto as sprint. Hey were sprint we shot ourselves in the foot and have true unlimited data that all of our customers abuse and tether their entire homes with. Having a data cap is a good thing. TMobile ftw.

This trick worked for me my phone is also quick and the data load's alot faster too thank you.:D

t-mobile samsung galaxy s2 I followed the 5 steps and it's working i will know for sure after i pass my 5gb cap!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
how do you know that it's working if you never passed the 5gb cap....

I don't think many of you understand that these APNs WORK normally. As in these APNs have always been there and can be accessed to be used for DATA. These APNs were not regulated by T-mobile to measure the amount of DATA transfer. However, t-mobile finally started to regulate them, hence it isn't working anymore.

it is normal for people to surpass their cap anywhere from 1mb to 1gb, maybe more but average probably around 200-500mb.

So until you have greatly surpass your limit by over 500MB for more than a day, don't claim that this trick is working. That also goes to those who aren't even close to their limit.. smh

tl;dr: Don't claim that it is working until you've passed your data limit by more than 500MB and for more than a day
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Superman0069:
