Unlock Iphone work with Tmobile G3 service?

No Iphone can't work on t mobiles 3g. iPhones have a network radio that only works with att.

 

EDGE only.

 

Edge... T-Mobile sucks..

 

the 3g network of t-mobile and the 3g of att are different frequencies.

fail.

 

I don't mind having EDGE, as I only pay 6 bucks fa month for it.

 

What version are you running? I also got the $6 tzones deal but am on version 2.1 everything Is fine except I can't dl the newer apps. I want to upgrade to 2.2.1
but I don't want to mess anything up during the process.

 

I'm on 3.0. I have the 2g iPhone though.

 

also interested

 

Yes. It's pretty cheap compared to the $30/mo for AT&T though it's obviously not as fast.
However, an unlocked iPhone 3Gs will probably cost you $500-600 bucks. So $24/mo difference times 24 months is $576 more you'd pay for Internet over 2 years. So there is not too much a difference there.
Of course if you went for a older iPhone and you're okay with it being slightly slower, you'd get a good bang for your buck through T-Mobile.

 

Well, you have to get customer service to add on the unlimited t-zones plan for 5.99, which technically doesn't exist anymore.

You may have to try several times with T-Mobile customer service to add it. I highly recommend talking to the cancellations department as they are usually more receptive to this stuff.

 

It helps if you tell them that you are just using the phone to get WAP available data like movie times and sports updates.

 

Yeah. They'll know you have an iPhone, and if they mention it, say you just bought a RAZR and that's what you want the T-Zones for.

 

Agreed with wakkoman. I have the 3G unlocked on T-Mobile, and the T-Zones works like a charm.

 

but even the 9.99 tzones plan will work as well correct?

 

Yes, but I'm not sure it is unlimited data. I know it used to be limited to 100mb, so verify that with them before you add it.

It's still worth a 3-4 tries to get it for 6 just in case. Prices are only going to go higher and once you get the plan added, you have it at that price until you remove it.

 

TMobile gets good reception in Houston unlike AT&T.

 

The t-zones plan is meant for phones that use mobile internet. You can't youtube with the iphone or stream on this lan or else you'll go WAY OVER and end up with a huge bill. the sidekick plan is GONE! I asked my brother whose a manager at t-mobile.

 

The 5.99 Tzones plan is unlimited data use. Their new T-Zones plan called Web2Go is most likely limited.
