How I Surfed the Web on a RAZR V3 with T-Mobile in 2024

With T-Mobile announcing the shutdown of its 2G network (again), I figured I'd put this information out there while it's still relevant for anyone who'd like to take advantage of it.

The first thing you'll need is an active T-Mobile SIM card from 2018 or earlier (and probably a nano to mini SIM adapter).

The second thing you'll need is a carrier-unlocked* RAZR V3 running software version R374 with the Cingular flex**. Alternatively, you can use an unlocked V3re (I've tested both).

Next, find "Web Sessions" under "Web Access" in the main menu***. Select "[New Entry]". Enter the following settings:

Yes, these are AT&T settings. Yes, they work with T-Mobile. No, I do not know why. I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth...

*If your RAZR is not carrier-unlocked, you can do so with Moto Unlocker 2005. It looks sketchy as all hell, but it actually works. Make sure you have bootloader 07.D0.

**If you don't know how to flash and flex the RAZR, guides can be found here and here. The flash file I used and the flex file you will need are here and here. ALWAYS MAKE A FULL/BOOTLOADER/PDS BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING OR FLEXING!!

***If you don't have this option, make sure "Web Access" is enabled in seem 0032_0001 via MotoModTool and P2KMan (some carriers disabled it). Find the "download seems" text boxes in P2KMan and enter "0032" into both of them, then click download to save the seem. Open it with the appropriate button in MotoModTool and find the "Web Sessions" box. Make sure it is checked. Save the seem. Find the "upload seems" text boxes in P2KMan and type "0032" into the first one and "0001" in the second. Click the "upload seems" button and locate your edited seem. Reboot the phone when it's finished.
