People have been running iPhones on T-Mobile since 2007. The reason this is so big is because the iPhone currently doesn't support CDMA.

- brown9-2 16y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but if you jailbreak your iPhone and use it on T-Mobile's network you will only be able to use the EDGE/2G network as the iPhone's 3G radio uses different frequencies than T-Mobile's 3G network. Makes the choice seem a little backwards then doesn't it?
- melvinram 16y agoExactly. That's why I'd rather use Android over iPhone. I'm hoping for one that uses their HSPA+ technology that gives 42 mbp/s of blazing speed.
- irq 16y agoYou're correct, except that it is "unlocking" that allows you to use an AT&T iPhone on another carrier. "Jailbreaking" is completely different - it simply allows you to install unsigned software. One must jailbreak their iPhone before it can be unlocked, because you need to run special, unsigned software to unlock it.
