I was wondering if anyone had recommendations or researched the current T-Mobile Data Plans in the U.S. that they are or will be using once their iPhone is unlocked. I did a quick search on the T-Mobile website and the best that I could find was a $30 data plan for Smartphones. I am not sure if the iPhone would be covered under this. Perhaps you know of a better one. Any suggestions?

I unlocked my iphone already and thinking of getting this internet service for my iphone. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/d...8-e2bb14781ce9
That looks like the best option imo.
all you need is the $5.99 plan and that is unlimited
that plan will NOT let you browse the internet. you can still check emails though. My 5 year old subscribtion also gives me FREE internet while roaming as they seem to not track traffic usage on that APN
uh, that plan lets you browse the internet.. i dont know what your talking about. i used it on my htc pda to surf the web all the time
I called T-Mobile a few days ago trying to find out which plan to get and the lady said there is a 20 dollar one that has unlimited internet that includes all data. I am not sure if the 5 buck plan will work I need to find out, but if it does ill be jumping up and down :)
I have been using the 5.99 plan on my motorola phone for a few years now and get full internet access but it doesnt work on the iphone. i can't even remember how i set it up but i think it involved some kind of proxy. anybody want to help me configure it??
I too have been using the 5.99 plan with my Tmobile dash for a year now, get's web, exchange-activesync, imap...etc. Have a hard time justfying 30 bux for slow internet access.
Here's the config settings taken from this link:

Hopefully someone with an unlocked can figure out the iphone settings to make this work....

Unlimited internet with the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service
The $29.99/month T-Mobile Total Internet package is not required to have unlimited internet access on the Dash, instead the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service is all you need. Note the following limitations to the T-MobileWeb internet service:
1. The internet applications on your device will need to have an option to specify a connection to a proxy server, if it doesn't have this option then the application most likely will not be able to access the internet.
2. The following applications will not work over T-MobileWeb: MSN Messenger, Agile Messenger (without the proxy option), some streaming media, Hotmail, Pocket MSN, and Java applications.
To setup the internet connection over T-MobileWeb follow these instructions:
1. Add the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service to your current voice plan (it may take up to 72 hours to activate, but typically takes less than 24 hours).
2. Follow the below instructions to setup the Dash:
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Proxy -> T-Zones Proxy setup
