[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1481353, member: 46727"] Looks like you're correct about the iPhone 5, it's now available unlocked from Apple. And yes you can purchase the AT&T model and use a small SIM card that you can purchase from T-Mobile. Nothing new there as you can do the same thing with the iPhone 4S. However, you can not use the iPhone 3, 4, or 5 on T-Mobile's network as 3G or 4G because of the frequency differences. You will only be able to use that expensive iPhone as EDGE. As I told you previously, you would be better off buying a subsidized iPhone with either carrier and get their data plan. After two years and your contract is over, they'll unlock it for you. Or, you can wait until mid 2013 (approximately) until T-Mobile switches over their frequencies to be compatible with 3G and 4G and buy the iPhone direct from them. I have no idea what they'll charge for the data plans but I do know their plans are the least expensive of all the major carriers. BTW, there's no such thing as an iPhone 5s. I don't know where you got that from as the latest is the iPhone 5. [/QUOTE]
