So ‘ight, here’s the deal. It’s been about a month or two since I had the basic $9.99 Edge Internet stop working for the Neocell. As you can read from my post here, I was using a “social hack” method to get the $9.99 a month Internet for the Neocell, but started getting blocked. I’ve gotten to the root of the issue…

I put the SIM card into my old phone and the Internet worked, but not on the Neocell. I thought it might just be a flook so I waited and tried to test it out a few different times that whole month, but the same thing…

So what’s this mean? It means T-mobile’s system will at some point detect… whatever, and disable the net for just your device. Now, your not able to just pop your SIM into your old phone, call T-mobile, say your net’s not working and have it be done. You’ve gotta’ have the full, $25 a month Internet plan. Keep in mind this doesn’t include any text messages, which is fine by me. **** text messages.

So, is it worth it? $25 for unlimited Internet? If you were a chick readin’ this, I’d say, “Honey, it’s so worth it…”. The 2G speeds we get with Edge are very fast… don’t believe me? I’m able to stream net radio from WunderRadio and Pandora. And no, no skips or delays… just pure music. In fact, I plan on installing a secret, hidden little dock into my Lexus’ center console to play net radio straight into the stereo (already tested it on a few drives, works great).

I couldn’t do this with the $9.99 Internet plan ‘cuz they give you 50 MBs a MONTH… so I was turning on Edge only in the rarest of times, and there’s no way to track usage with T-mobile. So bein’ free to so what I want with the Internet when I’m not on wifi, shoot… I swear I go through 50 MBs in a few days.

Havin’ unlimited Internet is so worth it.

Peace, J
