3G is not a deal breaker for me because im around Wifi hotspots enough. I have never used that talk and surf feature anyway. The deal breaker for me is no MMS and no Visual Voice mail. The MMS is the big one for me. I mean i can send emails, but it will take a while. What is your opinions? I want to use an iPhone 3GS.

I've got T-Mobile's HD2 which I think is an amazing phone, but the OS is screwing such a good body. I want a new iPhone because of it's sleek and powerful features, especially the dual HD cameras. Not to mention, I'm a huge Apple supporter: I've got -2 Macbooks -Time Capsule 1tb dual band -2 iPod touches -all of Apple's Pro software -MobileMe

I would love to have something that actually works with all my stuff. But AT&T want's $00 just for the deposit because I don't have credit. I might as well try and get a iPhone 4 for $730 off Ebay and use my plan that's cheaper and more reliable.

But what about not working on 3G???

My wife and I are on T-Mobile $139 a month for both of us. She has a G1 and I have an iphone 3gs. Unlimited data, texting and minutes for $139. AT&T can't even touch that with one phone. I had there service and it was terrible. Never worked in my house, dropped calls, missed messages. The only draw back to having the iphone on T-mobile is that it uses the Edge network. Although I have heard that if you get a UK Iphone it will work on T-Mobile's 3g network, because the bands are the same 1700 band.

And to the people complaining about using an unlocked phone on T-mobile...it is not made for there network so it won't work as good. I know from experience.

I started out with AT&T and had constant problems with that phone company. Don't get me wrong the coverage was nice but I felt more times then one being taken advantage of by the employees. I had dropped calls every time I had customer service on the line. I was with AT&T for +8years and the only time I got onto the phone with a employee that cared for my business was the day I called to cancel my subscription all of a sudden they were willing to listen to my concerns with the company. I have been with T-Mobile ever since. The only coverage issue I've had is when i go onto vacation I can lose signal when entering into highly wooded zones... because t-mobile focuses more on cities. With that said you can call t-mobile on a pay phone or when you get a weak signal in those zones and they will connect you to a partner tower and make sure you don't pay additional charges for the remainder of your vacation time. NOW THATS CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

I have T-mo and it's fine for me. I really can't complain about the coverage, but yet again I live in Brooklyn. T-mo has pretty good service in every major US city. My first phone for T-mo was a Blackberry 2g and while I loved the phone, the lack the of 3g was a deal breaker. I am constantly surfing the internet and streaming videos. Not being able to have 3g on an unlocked iphone would be torture. I would get an iphone for AT&T but I don't feel like paying a minimum of $70 (texts not included) per month plus additional taxes and fees. Right now I pay T-mo $60 for 500 minutes, unlimited data, and unlimited texts w/ a Blackberry 9700 Bold2. So maybe I don't get a hipster iphone, but I do save 15+ dollar a month. If AT&T put out a 450/500 minutes, unlimited data, and 1500+ texts a month plan for $70 I would sign up.

If any of yall want a unlocked iphone to connect to tmobile just get it on ebay, or just do it your self just go on youtube or be patient and wait till tmobile actully gets the iphone. but i do recommend getting the iphone with tmobile beacuse it has THE BEST customer service unlike AT&T (which i had once had) you dont get any hidden fees or suprise cost on your bill. just something to think about.

I had an iPhone until yesterday when someone stole it. It was a 3GS. I have had 1 3G, and 2 3GS phones. I still have one 3GS on my account with AT&T. I called them and explained and said I would be willing to buy a replacement. They wanted 499.00 - Outrageous. So I said, "Ok, let's just add a line to my family plan and get the discounted one for 299.00 - sure no problem but we'll have to have a 150.00 deposit. That's what the store said. So I called, and they said, "No, you don't, but you'll have to buy out the contract on your previous phone, which is 145 dollars. Second talk with store rep - contract buyout 150.00 - 3rd call to AT&T, contract buyout 155.00 - I asked how it kept going up in a few hours and she had no idea what I meant by that, of course. I bought out the contract and now have unlimited everything on MetroPCS. I am done with AT&T and as a result, Apple. I waited in line from 3:30am until the AT&T store opened when the 3GS came out, and I was planning a campout on April 2nd to get my iPad. Not any more. I'm about to call Apple and demand that my iTunes store account be erased because there doesn't seem to be an option for that ANYWHERE on their site on in the software. I'll be buying a Zune on Monday.

yes you can still use everything itunes and all. I have a unlocked iphone 3g on 3.0 and I can do anything and everything. Your itunes account is not linked to your phone service provider, just like you can have and itunes account but not ipod or iphone just have it on your computer and download itunes related stuff. Also there is not to much changing for the data plan, you just type in a short sentence in to your APN there they do go by your plan. Call t mobile and they will even walk you step by step. Most people don't know this but iphones are T mobile phones, just not in the US. In Europe T mobile sells and supports iphones. I love using my unlocked iphone and t mobile has been extra cool!!!

Only sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate the iphone. Please insert the sim card that came with the iphone." And with this it does not let me do anything with my iphone on itunes and most importantly i cant put music on it. If anyone can help please let me know. Thank you

By: solrac

solrac — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 19:53:05 +0000

I know what you mean!! But i have a solution ! Do you have an iPhone? Do you have unlimited talk, text, and data? If so, you're paying WAY too much for your service.

Here's the bottom line: $70 / month for unlimited minutes $20 / month for unlimited text $30 / month for unlimited data (web, youTube, email, etc.) $15 / month for taxes and fees

That's right, you're paying about $135 per month for unlimited talk, text, and data with your iPhone.

I can reduce your cell phone bill to $80 per month with at&t or even $50 per month if switching to T-Mobile. You will continue to have unlimited talk, text, and data. I accomplish this by setting up your iPhone with custom software and services that allow you to get far more for your money.

That's a savings of $55 per month (when staying with at&t) or $85 per month (if switching to T-Mobile). That's $660 per year (on at&t) or $1,020 per year with T-Mobile!

Stop throwing away up to $1,000 per year on unethical, over-priced cell phone fees. Contact me today to begin saving real money on your cell phone bill.

Did you know that at&t is price gouging its customers by charging $20 for unlimited text on top of $30 for unlimited data? But data and text go through the same channels, so they are simply double charging. That's like paying $30 per month for cable TV and another $20 per month just to have a channel guide appear on your TV screen? Would you be content with paying for that? Of course not. You don't need to be abused like this any longer.

Wouldn't you love to be able to plug your iPhone into your laptop and use it as a modem? Your laptop could be online anywhere, anytime. They don't let you do this either. Take full advantage of the money your paying for "unlimited data" and actually get what you're paying for!

In addition to saving tons of money, your iPhone will be able to do amazing things:

Play music (or do anything) in the background, while you work on other things. (Ever try listening to pandora or other streaming music while searching for a store on the map?)
Get unlimited free games and apps
Switch between all your apps instantly
Tether your iPhone to your laptop to use it as a modem
Stop your phone from rotating while you're reading it on your side
And much more!

I will: - Set up your iPhone - Teach you how to use your iPhone to its fullest capabilities - Start you saving up to $1,020 per year (or more in some cases) on your phone bill.

Don't hesitate! Set up an appointment now by emailing me here: solrac@gmail.com

The only thing that stops me from purchasing iPhone 3GS is the monthly price. What if you could get the $30 required unlimited data plan without any calling plan, but yor were still issued a number? Then you could subscribe to Skype for unlimited calling in US for just 2.97 a month. (Double check on that. According to Skype, you are able to forward calls from your phone number to your skype account. Therefore you can have an iPhone with a considerably cheap monthly plan and at a two-year contract price. I am I right? Did I miss something?

So if t-mobile got the iphone all their customers would switch over to the iphone.

So what's in it for t-mobile other than long term survival.

They could very easily become Motorola. If I were a cell provider I would plead with Apple for a relationship.

It will be an answer to the business case study in 10 years..... why didn't cell companies x, y, and z survive?

Because they didn't realize how popular Apple products were becoming, even in mainstream America, and did not provide a network compatible with those products.

By: Van Wagoner

Van Wagoner — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 04:40:28 +0000

The theme seems to be cost. Perhaps people believe that with competition the monthly cost would go down. Probably only minimally.

The question at the top asked if it was because of poor ATT coverage that people were asking about t-mobile iphone.

It's moreso possible that they are asking because they are locked into a contract for a year or two with t-mobile etc. and it's keeping them from buying an iphone/pad until their contract expires.

I get around 2mbps when i use the speedtest app. Bill is kind of high(120) with unlimited data and texts So far im pretty happy with the service but if the 4G iphone ever comes to Verizon i will pay the cancelation fee and sign back up with verizon just because 90 percent of people i know are on VZW

Glad to find this thread, in the process of swapping my Iphones over to TMobile from At&T. I have the tmobile SIM and one phone up and running, but noticed it was on the edge not the 3G network. I called t-mobile and they told me that all I would get on the Iphone. From calling in and speaking to a rep. at t-mobile, they were nicer and easier to deal with than AT&T. I have 2 Iphones and got the 1500 min. family and unlimited data and text for only $119.00 a month, which is a good price considering AT&T wanted $165.00 for 1400 min. unlimted data and only 200 text. The only problem I have with T-moble is the sales persons didn't tell about the Iphone not working on their 3G when I got the plan, I told him what equipment I had and he acted as if it would all work the same. Other than that happy so far, and still testing.

i recently got an iphone 3g 16 gb off of (craiglist) which i consider the best website to get an unlocked iphone due to the fact that u can actually go see the phone b4 u buy it and use it a lil bit like i did. i got mine for 370 which is a really good price because it had cydia and it allows me to get everything from apple store free..even apps that cost 100+ dollars Tmo is better than ATT no matter what under the economic situation in which the world is in right now u dont really need fast speed on the internet which btw is much not of a difference with Tmo, however you do need cheaper and more reliable phone service and Tmo offers that. There is an app called fring...you can youtube it and it allows u to call anywhere in the world w/o charges or wasting the mins on ur plan. when u jailbreak you iphone and unlock it will be very easy to get that app and u can use it to call anywhere land or cell anywhere in the world. I recoment ppl to get lowest amount of mins needed from Tmo with unlimited web access and text msgs and download fring and make calls from there and not waste mins if u dont feel like it. With that said i only have 1 thing to say to ATT suk me off i beat u!

this confuses me. i've been emailing apple and at&t this question for weeks now...with NO response: "Do I have to use at&t if i purchase the iPhone?" after reading all of this, i understand. although there are very few positive at&t messages here, i am still shocked to see them. i found them, well, horrible...just to save time. so, is it worth getting an iPhone to use with any other network than at&t? is it that difficult to do? i don't really see where anyone clearly states this. thanks so much! (i really want an iPhone; it's the 1st cell i've ever actually researched & wanted to purchase...and of course there's a ridiculous hitch such as this...i'm shocked apple would do this. i guess most people would just switch to at&t to have the iPhone. i won't do that.)

I have a iPhone on Tmobile network and it's not worth it. If u have experienced iPhone on AT&T then go to a network where u Cant use it a "full power" it's not worth it. 3G on AT&T in network was great. Fast Internet and no problems with mail or MMS. On tmobile network I can't use 3G feature on Iphone and I can't send emails or send/receive MMS to my phone. I'll be getting a tmobile phone soon

It will have more features than with ATT because you're going to unlock it and probably jailbreak it.

3G won't work though. T-Mobile's 3G is not standard, so you're gonna have to connect using Edge. Still, I'd rather be on Edge with T-Mobile than ATT's 3G.

I LOVE T-Mobile. Look. I'm writing this from my laptop, while my wife drives, and I'm using my iphone as a modem with my $10 bucks data plan, that ATT doesn't allow you to do.I bought a locked iphone in craiglist and unlocked it and jailbreak it in a couple of hours or so. I pay $65 for unlimited data, voice and text and I can do stuff that I you just can't do with ATT. I love it!

Only bad thing is that you can't keep voice and internet at the same time.

I have an unlocked iPhone using tmobile! so far I love it I am looking to get on a data plan. I am so happy that my bills are now well under $100. It was so easy to unlock - you wll need blackra1n ( number one ) and a tmobile sim card. for pictures using mms you will need ip and you can get that on the web. I use wiFi everywhere I go so the data plan is not missed as much right now. I love my iphone with Tmobile!

Just remember, AT&T still owns all telecommunication networks and bounces from cable to phone to internet to wireless. Ma Bell is the original telecommunication network and all existing networks cable, internet, phone, and wireless are all still owned by AT&T. Don't believe me? Look it up! Oh, stop saying "sux" and "plzz" unless you are a 12 year old girl.

To answer: ""# Matthew70 Says: November 23rd, 2009 at 11:54 pm No. You are wrong. As soon as you unlock or jailbreak your iPhone, you have instantly voided your Apple warranty, and you have illegally broken a Terms of Service agreement (a legally binding agreement) with Apple, assuming that you “signed” the agreement by registering your iPhone or connected to your user account at the App Store. Actually this is false; Apple guarantees the iphone not the cell phone carrier service AT&T - only the hardware and Apple softwares or third party softwares included in the default OS configuration will be serviced (and iTunes also). If you contact Apple Customer Support any issues related to AT&T wireless Network will be directed to AT&T if they do answer you about that; it's out of their good heart; knowing their outstanding customer support compared to AT&T, they often go overboard to balance that carrier bad reputation. To finally add the last proof - Apple will help who ever holds the iphone (hardware) regardless of the carrier (paying support, may apply) Evidently they will not tell you how to jailbreak an iphone since that would go against their AT&T contract & partnership. This would be illegal - not actually doing the jailbreaking. Actually "forced sales" is illegal - carriers go by, by offering prepaid plans and it's the law and in Europe many countries do force carriers to unlocked their cell phones if customers request it (fees may apply; less than $200 though

Over the past few months I've been trying to get away from the iPhone.. went to Sprint for Palm Pre - too limited - and then the Hero - Had MAJOR bugs to where I couldn't get voicemail.

I was thinking about the Droid, but HATE Verizon.

I switched back to AT&T because, for me, the iPhone is the best phone out there. Recently looked at T-Mobile plans and how CHEAP they are if you bring your own phone and think I'm going to sign up today.

I turned off 3G a few days ago to get a feel for Edge only and don't miss 3G. My streamining music, GPS, everything still work fine. YouMail has an application now, so visual voicemail is not an issue.

I'll post back after I sign up and get my iPhone working.. very excited to save a bunch of money!

I have the iphone with ATT in Chicago..the 3G works fine when there is good cellphone coverage..which is next to never !! Too many dropped calls..it's ridiculuous.!! Poor coverage at my work (for my colleagues with att too) and bad coverage at my house too..

Also they have terrible customer service..left me stranded abroad once as they failed to turn on international roaming despite calling requesting and confirming before leaving..called them from overseas and was on hold / transferred around @@@@@

.my phone is unlocked..so been thinking of switching to t-mobile.

Why Apple won't convert the iPhone to Verizon is mainly because they don't like to confuse people and they like keeping the simplicity plus it's expensive

Since the REST OF THE WORLD uses GSM.... A GSM iPhone really is reasonable... then a CDMA or world phone.... Seems a bit unlikely

By: Justin

Justin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 03:12:04 +0000

Yes T-Mobile Germany has the iPhone and you wanna know something else? The fastest 3G speeds on iPhones are on iPhones that are on the T-Mobile Germany network.... 1800KBPS otherwise 2Mbps WOW...

T-Mobile has the best customer support (they even give you resources to unlock phones illegally) and support the iPhone fully

Apple will be breaking there deal with AT&T soon maybe this year or next

Hopefully T-Mobile gets it.... Then T-Mobile will start broadcasting 3G bands compatible with the iPhone and 3G speeds and reception will probably be better with T-Mobile... I have a Cliq and I get 3G everywhere.... But then again I live in Florida my other friend lives in Oklahoma and he gets 3G reception perfect too and he swithced to the iPhone but well.... um not that good

My sister in law works at T-mobile and she has seen information that the iPhone will be at Tmobile in 2010 poss by 3rd quarter. In europe they already have the iPhone and it would be too costly for Apple to convert it to Verizon network.

I love my iPhone, but would LOVE to drop AT&T. My friends with T Mobile's droid are paying less than half what I am for the same service.

Let's also not forget that AT&T was the only phone company that handed over all our personal information without a fight, under the guise of homeland security.

would love it if T-Mobile get's the iPhone. I have been with T-Mobile for 6 years and I'm not going anywhere! My wife and I both have purchased the iPod Touch in order to avoid the need to jailbreak the iPhone, but have the itch for the iPhone like a mug! Plus, let's be real, Apple owns PC any day...LOL! That's another topic, this device is an incredibly advanced phone and, to date, nothing has surpassed it or even been able to rise to the occassion. Let's go Apple! Alot of T-Mobile folks ready...plus I bet alot of AT&T folks ready to slap on the pink T!

I just made the switch a few days ago to tmobile with my iphone. My experience with the service has been AWESOME. I dont mind not having the faster download speeds , since half the world is now wi fi free spots. When using the service where I used to have dropped calls with ATT , with tmobile I didnt. When the iphone comes to tmobile and you are able to not jail break it and still have the visual voice mail. I will be happy

I've had At&t, Verizon, and T-Mobile. At&t and Verizon are too expensive and work just the same as T-Mobile. I've had T-Mobile for many years now and LOVE IT!! I love their costumer service, reception, and prices. Their plans are all totally affordable and reasonable and their service is great. I've never had a dropped call or no service anywhere I go. Most of my friends have At&t and I always have ALL the bars when sometimes they have NONE and have to borrow my T-Mobile phone. I have an unlocked iphone and it works awesome. I love it. I bought it full price at the apple store and got it unlocked to use with T-Mobile. I wanted an iphone so bad because I love apple but didn't want to switch to At&t because they are too expensive and because I love T-Mobile. I love my iphone on T-Mobile. I have the best phone ever on the best carrier ever and I have it totally customized with the cydia and winterboard apps. It's like a totally unique iphone specially designed for me. Apple should let people connect the iphone with any carrier because I know many people with T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint who wish they had the iphone. Apple is just bringing too many new customers to At&t. If anything, at least let T-Mobile sell the iphone since we already know it works if not as good as with At&t, better!!

There are many points to consider when deciding which carrier is ideal for the iPhone (unlocked or otherwise). As a former employee of 2 different carriers, we are always qualifying customers for service- which serves their customer needs best. I've had both T-mobile and AT&T. I currently have an iPhone 3GS. I've decided to take my iPhone to T-mobile.

In my region of Florida- I've had dropped service repeatedly with AT&T, and at one point 3G service was completely gone like an electromagnetic pulse. I had to switch to EDGE to make the call to report the problem. I Discovered I was the first to notice, spoke to customer care, and service in the metro area to be restored in 2 hours. I was horrified. That means anyone on 3G couldn't make or receive calls, and if on EDGE, they wouldn't have known.

Okay, so every carrier has its ups and downs- but the cost difference was what sold it for me. I pay $185 a month for two iPhones- data required. Furthermore, the lack of support (MMS finally this year, no tethering yet in U.S.) has done it for me. I've discovered that service is really more from Apple than AT&T. That pretty much makes AT&T just a conduit. When was the last time you had to rely on Samsung instead of the carrier providing the service?

I will lose the 3G AT&T speed (big deal, it's hardly between 250kbs to 500kbs). I primarily use my iPhone's Wi-Fi at the two places I am at the most- Work and Home. I am currently on a 500 minutes family shared with Unlimited text for two phones. Nothing more. How do others survive paying the AT&T cost of $165 to $185 a month for TWO YEARS? With T-mobile, I pay $60 to $80 less. I'll take the slower speed. I don't use 3G speeds much anyway. Again, to each his own.
