I have no affiliation with T-Mobile other than being a customer for several (now, many) years.
These are the two Access Point Name (APN) settings I'm currently (late 2015) using with a Nexus 6 running Android 5.1.1. In an (apparently succesful) attempt to improve Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) reliability, I've deleted the other default APNs present. This seems to work well for the T-Mobile cellular and Wi-Fi Calling networks both.
APN: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: fast.t-mobile.com APN type: default,supl APN protocol: IPv6 APN roaming protocol: IPv4 MMSC: [Not set] MCC: 310 MNC: 260
APN: TMUS
APN: TMUS APN type: mms APN protocol: IPv6 APN roaming protocol: IPv4 MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc MCC: 310 MNC: 260
Note: if you have used your Nexus 6 with Google's Project Fi and have lost access to the Cellular network settings interface where APN settings are normally found, you may be able to restore then over USB using the Android Debug Bridge utility, adb
:
% adb shell settings put global hide_carrier_network_settings 0
This is a simple (and now rather old) collection of settings for use with the T-Mobile (formerly VoiceStream) U.S.A. network. I have used these settings to configure my own GSM mobile phones and other devices such as PDAs and laptops. They may or may not be accurate at a given time and are compiled here in the hope that others may find them useful.
T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE settings for terminals (e.g., phone handsets). Some items are possibly Nokia-specific. I have found the authentication type can be either Secure or Normal. These settings should be useful for T-MobileWeb users.
APN: wap.voicestream.com IP address: 216.155.165.050 Data bearer: GPRS Username: [none] Password: [none] Authentication type: Secure Connection security: Off
APN is the GPRS Access Point Name.
T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE network settings when using a device as a GPRS "modem", that is, when "tethered" to another device. Examples include connection via Dial Up Networking (DUN) Bluetooth profile, or via Universal Serial Bus (USB). These settings should be useful for T-Mobile Internet users.
APN: internet2.voicestream.com Username: voicestream Password: [none] SMTP server: myemail.t-mobile.com
APN is the GPRS Access Point Name.
Users of T-Mobile's Virtual Private Networking (VPN) Internet option should substitute the following APN:
APN: internet3.voicestream.com
T-Mobile ISDN settings for terminals (e.g., phone handsets). This is an ISDN dial-up number for WAP use only. Some items are possibly Nokia-specific. I have found the authentication type can be either Secure or Normal.
Dial-up number: +1 913 244 0821 Data call type: ISDN Data call speed: 14400 IP address: 10.168.200.50 Data bearer: GSM data Username: wap Password: [none] Authentication type: Secure Connection security: Off

Apparently T-Mobile does not currently support Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) for secure WAP transactions.
T-Mobile made various announcements in 2006 regarding their plans for a U.S. UMTS/HSDPA 3G network upgrade, but as of October, 2007 there is still no 3G service available.
