Can you use an iPhone with T-Mobile?

Trip · 08-19-2010, 02:53 PM

yes if jailbroken, but you will not have 3G access

Yes, but the douchebag will not be as strong.

What he said. Plus, if you plan on jailbreaking it, be prepared for it to be a real PITA. I did it to my first Iphone so I could access different stuff Apple didnt want me too, it was a bigger hassle than anything else. And everytime you update Itunes and whatnot you have to restore, reload, and rebreak.

My recipe for iPhone, without the iFuck:

Get a tiny mobile hotspot, and an iPod touch. It offers most of the functionality, and will not be limited to what apps you can run on 3g...all will work, as it flows through the wifi hotspot to 3G, and not from an iPhone, which Apple and AT&T intentionally cripple.

This frees you to use any carrier, and especially those that offer unlimited data plans.

Video on your shit with no limits.

Win.

Some chinese company is also offering a case for the iPod touch that packs phone hardware, so you can get roughly the same functionality (somehow) without being chained to a carrier.

Noice. That's a win.
