I was just wondering, if I had an unlocked iphone and used it with tmobile service, would I be able to use all of the phones features or would there be some restrictions???
I know visual voicemail won't work, but I could care less about that. Is there anything else??? Also, what will the speed of the phone be, will it be slower because the service is tmobile???

And any spam will be reported, thanx!

huh??? sorry, I don't understand. If you have an unlocked iphone, then you can use it with any service that uses sim cards.

Uh. You're phone shouldn't be slower and you shouldn't have any restrictions.

No, you can unlock the iPhone.

Every feature, apart from visual voicemail will work. The only difference might be EDGE speeds, and that will depend on the coverage in your area, and how similar T-Mobile coverage is to AT&T.

I'm pretty sure it should work just about the same. It really depends on the coverage in your area.

We don't have o2 in the USA. The only carrier that the iPhone is exclusive to is a company called AT&T.

Visual Voicemail won't work. T-Mobile EDGE speeds are slower and non existient in a lot of areas. And when the new iPhone comes out soon, 3G won't be compatible on T-Mobiles 3G network when it's built.
