Unlocked iphone for T-mobile

So before someone comments asking why I want an iPhone, & that i shoud get the Galaxy s3,
I already have it, & i'm not the biggest fan.
ALSO, before you say it isn't possbile, On the website it says Unlocked at&t iphones are compatiable.
At&t has been trying to purchase t-mobile for a while now, i believe & i think they finally have since they are now advertising at&t phones on the t-mobile webite.
So is it possible for me to go to the Apple store, purchase a white 8g iphone 4? Because its about $450 just for the 4. And is it possible to bring it into the t-mobile store to get it hooked up to t-mobile?
Please LET ME KNOW! Someone who works at t-mobile and actually knows or something!

You could spend about $200 more and get the iPhone 5 with no commitment. Then all you would have to do is restore the phone and it will be unlocked and you will be able to use it with any GSM carriers! Including t-mobile

But if you want to use the iPhone 4 with tmobile don't buy it from at&t! All you have to do is go to an apple store and ask for the UNLOCKED version of the iPhone 4! Then all you have to do is pop your tmobile sim card into the phone and you're good to go!

Just FYI, the ATT - T-Mobile merger never happened.

  • 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.
  • Unlocked vs factory unlocked iphone? So I'm thinking about getting an iPhone but I wanted to know if I could take an unlocked iPhone to the Verizon store an them set it up for me? I have no clue what the difference between factory unlocked, unlocked, and locked iPhones are
  • Iphone 5s from T-mobile or factory unlocked iphone? I been trying to choose which iphone 5s to buy to use for metro pcs, but I ain't sure which one to get. I would get the factory unlocked but I don't if it would work with metro. Like would would I be able to use all the functions on it. Or would it be better to go with a t mobile iphone 5s? Is one better than the other? Besides being able to use any carrier on the unlocked iphone 5s.
  • 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.
