IMessage on Edge/2G Network?
I just bought an iphone 4.It was originally on AT&T but i unlocked it and now it is on the t-mobile network. I talked to t-mobile and they said that since it is not a t-mobile device, it does not have the bandwidth to support the 3g/4g network. Aright, well crap. I can get over this however, since this is only a temporary phone. My question is me and my friends have a lot of group messages on IMessage. Will i still be able to receive these messages if i have Edge or 2g? I know it works on Wi-Fi, but what if i have no Wi-Fi access. Will i still receive these group messages?
Added (1). Also, can i SEND imessages? Every time i try to it just sends a text. Does that mean that every single person in the group chat receives an individual text message? Or does it still go to the group chat

Yes you will. Wi-Fi is way faster and on 2g you will Likely be frustrated because of the slowness. Just be patient and you should be fine.
You should, but it would take a while to receive since 2G is much slower than 3G.
- Will Strava iPhone app work on t-mobile 2g/edge? Right now t-mobile only offers 2g/EDGE data speeds for unlocked iPhones brought to them. Is that fast enough to use the cycling app Strava?
- Wi-Fi on iPhone keeps saying unable to join network (my network name)? How can I fix this! It's been like this for a week but it works on my laptop fine. I tried unplugging it for a few seconds, I tried resetting network settings, I tried turning my phone off then on again, and I know I'm typing it right. I even typed it in upper case AND lower case. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
- What's the difference between off-network and on-network? I'm try to work out which is best for what I want out of the service. I want protection while on my iPhone 5 (both when connected via Wi-Fi and when roaming on 3/4G). Website with product details: http://www.umbrella.com/products/umbrella-security-features/
