T-Mobile webConnect Data Plans
T-Mobile’s webConnect Data Plans allow you to connect to the
Internet through T-Mobile’s Broadband and HotSpot Networks.
n
Using webConnect for Broadband HSPA+, 3G, 2G Access
T-Mobile’s rapidly expanding 3G network provides faster data
transfer rates than 2G (also known as EDGE/GPRS) and even
faster data transfer rates than 3G where T-Mobile HSPA+ is
available. If 3G is not available, the webconnect Rocket will
automatically try to nd T-Mobile’s 2G network. The plans
also provide global roaming access in many countries where
T-Mobile coverage is available and roaming agreements are
in place.
