Unlimited Data Plan from T-Mobile works with iPhone for 9.99!

So you don’t need 3G? You want email, some light web, google maps, pandora, low quality youtube, and iheartradio (or mobile streaming radio). Then T-Mobile’s Unlimited Edge plan is perfect for you.

Most people are tearing their hair out after giving up their much loved T-Zones by mistake, or for temporarily switching a phone, where T-Zones wouldn’t work correctly. Then you wanted to go back, and viola it was no longer an option. Most people tried the Web2Go for 9.99 and got the not compatible screenie, yikes! WTF?!

Behold T-Mobile Internet for Phones. 9.99 for 100 MBs, yup that sucks. But as everyone knows, if T-Mobile doesn’t have a plan for your phone, this is what your going to be offered. However, if you do a little digging, you will soon find another 9.99 Data Plan, with UNLIMITED access. This plan uses the Internet2.VoiceStream.Com APN for access.

The plan name is the T-Mobile Unlimited Shadow data access plan. Thats right, the T-Mobile Shadow. A WINDOWS SmartPhone, with a Fav 5s home screen. Since this phone is really not pushed in to the SmartPhone market, I guess T-Mobile thought no one would notice this 9.99 UNLIMITED SMARTPHONE dataplan floating around.

How can you get it? The easiest way, is to simply log into your account, @ T-Mobile.com, select the “This is Not my Phone” option, and switch your phone to a T-Mobile Shadow. Go to Service Options, and viola 9.99 unlimited shadow data plan is now available to be added to your plan!

Sure its $4 more, but it beats whining, pleading, and endless calls to get your T-Zones back, plus it works!

Remote Desktop Connection, Mac/Windows Citrix ICA Client, Or NESTED Terminal Clients, Shift Key or Caps Lock not recognized?

If you are like me, your a mac lover/user, and you live in a Windows world. By day I am a mild mannered Windows .Net Developer. By night, I dive into the underbelly of objective-c and cocoa.

When away from the office I have a need to use Windows Apps. What better way then with Remote Desktop Connection. But because I want to be able to use RDC on all my clients machines as well, why not use it through Citrix!

All was going great, when I was using this, until I tried to use a SHIFT key on OSX, through Citrix using Remote Desktop Connection.

Sometimes it would be recognized, most often not… The solution? When the RDC selection for your connection pops up, hit the Options Button. Then find the click the “Local Resources Tab”, then head down to the Keyboard Section. For the ALT+Tab, select “On the Local Computer”, log in and now the much needed Shift, and Caps Lock keys will work as desired Happy puting.

note: this will stop the ATL+Tab function from working to switch between windows. But it will stop the irritation, of not being able to properly case your words.
