Overview:

  Tmobile has several options to users that have service plans with them. I am one of the people that like the iPhone but do not want to be stuck with a contract or in a plan. I decided I would contact TMobile and ask what I can do with the "pay as you go" option and they said I couldnt do anything. I then decided to switch to the Sidekick plan and noticed something odd, I could get mail on the mail app but could not get web sites and such. After searching around I found a site called iphonesidekick.co.cc and they offered a proxy bypass for a monthly fee. I thought that was great but I am more of the do it yourself person. Then I found a guide from a website called freeiphonesidekick.co.cc, this guide was great because it gave all the info to make the internet work and was free as long as you used your home PC. The disadvantage to this is going to be that it relies on your home PC being on all the time and on the net.


I would like to point out that I give mad props to freeiphonesidekick team that originally gave this info and instructions for doing this and that I will continue to help those that want to do it themselves as well. The work of freeiphonesidekick and others has now been put in with p1nksnow (info available here: PRESS RELEASE: Introducing P1nkSn0w | LEI Mobile)

This guide I am putting back up is an alternative. I believe everyone should have the choice to decide what they want to use. I will continue to try other things to make it better and I may not provide a lot of support for some stuff like p1nksnow will for there service but it is all for fun as well. Anyway you make the choice and decide.

 Warning:

 Proxy servers can be abused and will allow others to look like they are on your home network. I recommend not giving your proxy info to anyone unless you can absolutly trust them. I also recommend changing the port you use to make it something unique.

Step 1: T-Mobile + Jailbreak 

You must jailbreak your iphone and have T-Mobile Sidekick plan monthly or prepaid $1 a day and no other like tzones and such. (This does not give you magic Internet access).

Step 2: Installing SQUID proxy 

Download this file (Big Thank you to Antman for this):

Then go to the squid directory and double click "install.bat". Now restart your PC and squid will be running. To verify if it is running click start then right click on My Computer, click Manage, click plus sign next to Services and applications, click services, then scroll down on the right to "Squid" and double click it.
