I couldn't find any details on costs for this new service, but read on TmoNews that this is an upgrade to the existing T-Zones service and will be part of an unlimited data plan (if your phone supports this) or priced with caps for feature/phone-first devices.
Here are the features that are advertised for the service:
- A customizable home page, for easy access to your favorite sites.
- Yahoo! oneSearch™ mobile search—right on your home page—for fast, relevant answers right when you need them.
- Account access: Check minutes and messages used, view your bill, and more, right from your phone.
- Access to T-Mobile’s new download marketplace, where you can browse for ringtones, apps, games, and more.
- Better browsing—turns clunky “mobile Web” pages into sleek, easy-to-use sites.
There is also a free limited access version of web2go that gives you:
- Free access to your account—account activity, a summary bill, and more.
- Free browsing of T-Mobile’s new download marketplace—new apps, ringtones, CallerTunes®, wallpaper, games, and more. (There is a charge to purchase content.)
- Trial websites—each week, a different free website will be featured. Check it out!
Web2go is available today across the majority of new T-Mobile phones, including most Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and BlackBerry handsets. This enhancement is automatic for T-Mobile customers with compatible phones. T-Mobile plans to make web2go available on nearly all new T-Mobile phones over the coming months.
I logged into my account and was unable to access web2go with my G1 account. I have four other phones on T-Mobile, but I couldn't find a way to switch to those phones in my account login page (is there a separate login for each phone number) so I couldn't get any hands-on experience with web2go.
