Without even reading these I know where you're going. There has been much debate and squawking about the different levels of T-Zones. I will say that for the $4.99 plan they cut port 80 in October, which limited streaming audio/video. Otherwise, everything else works. I believe they cut port 80 for the $9.99 plan too (but that plan is really a $5 hoax anyway...)
Now, that being said, there's always been fear and speculation about when most things would be cut off or altered.... alot of which was based on the fact that many users only started paying for the $5 plan around September. Prior to that we got free WAP. Strike that: free GPRS.
Yes, you read that right.
The HowardForums are a great resource once you mire through the basic pricing schemes and offerings. For your $5 you get a pretty full entree: WAP, net browsing, IM, and a couple of other cool things I fergit -- and this is key -- with appropriate sw and the right phone.
The bottom line though is that T-Mo, gawd bless 'em, isn't going to switch up to 3G for another two years and if they don't maintain the $4.99 plan, they're going to lose quite a few customers.
