phinetic asked:
Say I get an unlocked iPhone and use it on the T-Mobile network. As long as I have all the unlimited plans, would anything happen? I’m talking maybe a ridiculous hidden charge that could potentially get added, not being able to get calls, or access the web?

Anyone have it and could give me some input, opinions.
I don’t want AT&T for the record so all those answers can go away.
I know a lot of people on T-mo with the iPhone
The only disadvantage is not being able to use 3G, but if you can live with the super-slow network then you should be just fine

You can use unlock iPhones on T-Mobile network. There is no hidden charge but there is no point of using an iPhone if you cannot get on 3G. The network connection is going to be extremely slow. If you only use the phone for placing and receiving calls, I guess you don’t care. However, you really don’t want to bring an iPhone and use none of its special features.

No 3G sucks, but it’s survivable. The worst is not being able to access the app store (some customers can, most can’t) and whenever you plug your iPhone into iTunes you may re-lock it – so be comfortable doing the unlocking and jailbreaking process yourself. You can’t update the software on the iPhone without re-locking it and you can’t re-lock it until someone else has cracked Apple’s latest software for you. So before you update you must check that someone somewhere has cracked the software version you want.
So it’s doable but a pain sometimes.
