All APNs have access to T-Mobile's EDGE Network without any additional configuration or charge from T-Mobile. There are no noteable speed differences between any of the APNs except the latency inherent to any wireless packet-switching network.
T-MobileWeb
Previously known as T-zones. This is T-Mobile's APN for WAP access using the WAP Gateway. This is the APN you must use in order to access any WAP site. IP addresses are assigned based on NAT. Example: 10.x.x.x T-Mobile also employs port restrictions to limit internet access on devices such as smartphones. See also proxy.
Internet
Same as T-MobileWeb except there is no WAP Gateway to go through before reaching the internet. In addition there are no port restrictions however IP addresses are still asigned based on NAT. Example: 10.x.
Internet with VPN
Same as Internet except that the Dynamic IPs assigned are externally addressable to allow for VPN and other direct access type applications. Example: 208.x.x.x You must specifically request "with VPN" support when adding this service otherwise you will only receive the Internet APN.
BlackBerry
Same as T-Mobile Internet with the additional support for the BlackBerry products. The internet portion of this service may be used on non-BlackBerry devices as a substitute for T-Mobile Internet. Many have had success using this data plan instead of the Total Internet package when they do not need or want the HotSpot portion of the service.
SideKick
Similar to T-Mobile Internet with the additional support for the SideKick device. This service can not be used on non-SideKick devices due to device specific needs and requirements for the SideKick devices.
