I have the Verizon version of the TP2 unlocked. I'm using T-Mobile. My calls, SMS, & MMS are working fine but I can't connect to the internet. How do I solve this problem???

This is what I was able to come up with by googling.
t-zones® and T-MobileWeb Settings For Non-T-Mobile Branded Phones

I guess you need to find a place to plug in those settings. Maybe under settings --> all settings --> connections

Wish I had something more helpful, I'm kind of a noob. You do have a data plan right?
They make a T-mobile branded touch pro 2. If you call them they should be able to offer support, just don't tell them it's unlocked.

Just so you know, you've got a CDMA Worldphone there and you are using it on a GSM carrier so your device has been Sim Unlocked. You may need a particular radio to get data working.

Nope sorry.
I was just speculating.
If I were you I would search for threads and posts from others that have your device or that have SIM Unlocked and possibly used them on T-Mobile.

Check out this thread:

I would try the 1.96 based on the info from the third poster in that thread.

FWIW, I had the same issue when I was trying to use a prepaid T-Mobile SIM on my unlocked Sprint TP2. Evenything worked but Internet. I initially thought the issue was with the radio (like the previous poster said) or a bad setting. But when I plugged my friends T-Mobile SIM in my phone (he had a monthly plan + data) Internet & data worked like a charm. Try that first before mucking around with any settings.

BTW, this worked on the 2.32WU radio.
