Unlocked iPhone 4 on T-mobile plan?
I'm planning on buying a unlocked iPhone 4 from ebay. However, I want to know if the unlocked iPhone 4 would;
- Call and text for free?
- Use internet (wi-fi only)?
- Download apps from the app store?
- It is a smartphone, will T-mobile charge me extra or charge a smartphone value plan on me if I use it for their network?
I'm currently with T-mobile and have the family plan in effect. I would get an android, but I like the iPhone much better and I don't want to pay extra $$$ for every month for the smartphone plan since I barely use 4G internet outside or inside. I already asked many people around me and tried searching it online, but they all have different answers.
Yes but you won't be able to send or receive pics better off getting whatever the phone service its under prepaid SIM. Say if it's an att iPhone just buy the SIM prepaid.

- Will I be able to unlock my iPhone with a home phone plan instead of a wireless plan? I don't have a wireless plan with AT&T but I have a home phone plan does that count towards unlocking requirements? And also can I use a mildly cracked screen as a replacement screen on my iPhone?
- Is it cheaper to get a new iPhone on a plan or buy it unlocked and add a cheap plan? I can either buy the phone for $250 and pay a monthly $80 plan with data for 2 years or purchase the unlocked phone $800 and pay $30 - $50 a month - I might not get data but it wouldn't be a big deal to me, I'm just trying to find a deal thats not ridiculously expensive cause I can't really afford too too much right now. Which would be better?
- If i buy an unlocked iphone on Ebay, can i use it on a virgin mobile plan? I saw the iphone on virgin moble and it is a little more than i would like to pay for. I checked ebay and i was going to bid on an iphone in hopes to get it for a cheaper price. So i was wondering if i buy a "factory unlocked" iphone on ebay, would i just be able to go to virgin mobile's website and activate it?
- If I Buy A Factory Unlocked/GSM Unlocked Iphone 5, Can I Use It With T-mobile? I'm not exactly sure what factory unlocked or GSM unlocked mean, but I just want to know If I can use the phone with T-mobile or if I'd have to switch carriers.
