How to get a iPhone to work for tmobile?
I plan on getting a unlocked iPhone ( not sure which on) and I want to know what I need to do to get it to work. Thankzz
If the phone is already unlocked, most likely talk and text will work. But internet and mms won't so you have to add the tmobile APN setting to work (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2383 ). On iphone 4, 4s and 5 you may have to jailbreak it in order to access the setting.
Unlocked iPhones will cost more than an ATT Locked iPhone. I would recommend that you get a locked ATT iPhone and then using Factory Unlock iPhone service code unlock the phone in iTunes. This way you would be able to save at least 50-100 bucks more.
If you have an ATT iphone, you can get it factory unlocked cheap at iphoneunlockedcheap.com $14.99. Once it is unlocked, you can use any SIM from any carrier.
- Will an unlocked iphone 5 work on tmobile, how? I'm looking into getting an iphone5 this year and don't want to pay 80$ every month on an att/verzion/sprint plan. Would i be able to get an unlokced iphone 5 an get a tmobile sim? Also… Do all the plans tmobile have work for the iphone5? Or are there specific expensive ones that only work for the iphone5.
- Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
- Will a sim card from tmobile work in a Virgin Mobile iphone 4s? The virgin mobile iphone 4s has a sim card slot, so if i put a tmobile sim will it work? If the iphone isn't activated with a virgin mobile. Or if i buy a iphone 4s from the apple website without any service will it work with virgin mobile?
