Free Dial up Networking (DUN) on T-Mobile thanks to T-Zones?

I can’t confirm if this is true or not, but it is rumored if you subscribe to T-Mobile’s t-zones plan for $5.99 a month you will be able to get unlimited internet access on your phone or DUN on your computer.
What you’ll have to do is remove the proxy server (216.155.165.50) from your device settings to test the theory. Once that proxy is removed, it also seems that all the port blocking is disabled as well.
If you are a T-Mobile user, you may want to check this out. But be warned, any hacking done to your phone if T-Mobile finds out, could void your contract or create excessive data usage fees. PLease use the comments to let us know your results.

I did this once about two years ago. It worked on my Treo 650 for about 6 months, and then they started blocking it. I think it only works in certain areas now.
Definitely a known “exploit” of T-Zones for some time. As far as I know, most major metropolitan networks do not have this loophole enabled any longer.
yeah, I just set up bluetooth between my phone and computer simply to transfer pics and all. Then i noticed this whole DUN thing and figured i’d check it out. Anyway, i set it up (it was extremely simple) and dialed…vioala, there’s the internet on my computer. Here’s the thing, I’m not currently paying for the t-zones plan, but i’m connected to their network. Nothing has been reflected on my bill that i can see (so far as minutes and data goes). So, is this free, or am I going to be rudely awakened when i get my next bill?
