I'm currently using tmobile. I have 4g data and unlimited texting, when i use imessage without wifi, is there a way to message them without using my data, and charge it to sms instead? thank you!
I recently got the iphone 5 from tmobile. It's my first iphone and I've been enjoying the features very much. The only problem I've noticed, and it's rather annoying, is a 4-5 second speech delay. I called tmobile and had them send me a new one, hoping this was simply a defect of the particular phone. But I've just set up my new iphone and it has the same problem. I've spoken to numerous people on Verizon, tmobile, Sprint, AT&T, and landlines and have experienced this problem with each conversation. I have done this is different areas of my home as well as different areas around town with the same results.I've had many of them repeat words or phrases after I've finished speaking and the delay is always 4 or 5 seconds. Because of this, conversation is difficult. There is a lot of speaking at the same time due to this delay and I find it very frustrating. Before I call tmobile about this phone, I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this issue. Is it a tmobile problem or an iphone problem.
I want to switch from Sprint and we live in an I wireless service area so tmobile is out of the question...I have compared the compatible bands on the GSM unlocked iphone 5 and I believe them to work just fine, but I was just curious if anyone has tried this or not? Or if anyone has roamed with tmobile into the iwireless area and what speeds do you get?
I have an sprint iphone 5 n I changed carriers and like it has SIM card I wonder if I can use it on my tmobile plan?
Hi everyone! I have an iphone 5 that was newly "remodeled" for tmobile. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my battery after a recent decline in performance. I am updated to the latest iOS and I recently restored all of my settings on my phone in an attempt to increase battery performance, leaving only wifi on location for weather. With my current usage and standby, do I have something to be concerned about? I know some individuals that have my usage and will have a standby time of over a day. Advice and opinions is very much appreciated.
i unfortunately purchased an iphone 5 only to find out wifi calling is not in it like most androids, any solutions?? (please don't tell me about skype or other wifi services) I am talking about a phone that just switches and calls out automatically on wifi for tmobile
my sleep/ wake button wont push anymore on my tmobile iphone 4 and i dont have apple care so how could i fix it and how much
I contacted Orange UK and they said that this iPhone4 is ready to be unlocked, but they can't unlock the phone because I am not the original contract owner. Why can't Apple unlock this phone, because the original owner doesn't care and has sold it? As far as I understand, I am one of at least 3 owners for this phone. I guess there could be more. I just wanted to have a normal iphone, why can't Apple help on this issue? I have previously had many apple products, this is the first one I bought used adn just wanted to restore it to normal. Another thing is that 3rd party services can unlock it for 200$. What is that they do to unlock it? Why can't apple make a small comission for unlcoking iPhones instead. People find ways to cheat and ripoff people who doesn't deserve to pay extra for the phone they bought.

I bought a full price Unlocked iphone 5 from Apple back in January to use on Straight Talk. I had some issues with data on Straight Talk not being reliable and I had to keep turning data off and on again to get a connection. Now that tmobile is supporting the iphone at the same price as Straight Talk I figured i'd give them a try - after all that's what having an unlocked phone with no contrat is all about right? I'm a free agent. So i signed up however i don't get 3G anyhere, and my 4G coverage is spotty (talking HSPA+ 4G not LTE). This is because my $599 unlocked phone doesn't have AWS support. My question is why won't Apple release an update that will allow my identical hardware to work the way the one would if i bought it from tmobile? It's the same A1428 Model, the ony difference is the software. I really don't have to have to sell my older A1428 to buy a new A1428 from tmobile just to get it to work when it should have anyway. Can someone respond as to what Apple plans to do about this? Thanks,Andrew
my aunt gave me her Verizon iphone 5, so i poped in a tmobile pre paid nano sim card and it worked for two days then out of no where it said no service and its been like this for a month. i tried refilling but nothing worked. please help!!!!
I just recently got my iphone back and factory unlocked and I plugged it in onto my laptop and when iTunes showed up it asked me if I would like to carrier update my settings? Im not sure if i should do this because I have never done it before. I currently have the iphone 4S and unlocked for tmobile. Original carrier was AT&T. I am just scared if this can have an effect on the unlock settings and reset it to AT&T carrier? Help?
someone on craigslist is selling a brand new iphone 5 tmobile brand new still in shrink wrap. does it still come with warranty? he didnt really tell me how he got it.
My iphone 4S is not running on icloud, running on tmobile, 16gb, white, refurbished, on ios 6.1.3. Its not running on icloud and 10gb of 16Gb of it is still availible on my phone. IDK what the problem is, but it has been an hour and it is 64% after being charged to 100%. IT HAS BEEN AN HOUR. What happened?
Will version iphone 5 unlock work on the new tmobile 4g lte network
I have a factory unlocked iphone 4S (previously with AT&T, now used with tmobile). After I downloaded the most recent update, I am no longer able to send or receive picture messages. How do I fix this?
Does tmobile ios update fix the issues with unlocked iphone 5?
I know the straight talk iphone 5 is using Verizon's tower which is CDMA, but I also heard it can but use for any GSM sim card such as T-mobile and ATT. I just went to walmart and brought an straight talk iphone 5, but i have not open yet. On the back of the box it says the phone is model A1429, so I am really wondering if the straight talk iphone is GSM A1429 or CDMA A1429. I have an iphone 4 GSM unlocked using straight talk sim card. It works just fine, but is a bit slower compare to straight talk CDMA. I know the straight talk does not support LET, but if the straight talk iphone is GSM A1429 using CDMA 3G netwrok, I can switch to tmobile LET 4G network when I move. Does anybody know?
Ever since I updated my iphone 4s to version 6.1.3 but can't send pictures or recieve them. Need new MMS code for tmobile? Does anyone know where I can get it?
Okay, here's my situation. I was recently given a iphone 3GS that I was thinking of using an iPod touch (i.e. no cellular data -- just wifi). My car, an Audi A6, has iphone/iPod integration as well as a built-in WiFi hotspot (using a tmobile SIM built in to the car). I have a long commute so I listen to a lot of podcasts. I thought it would be cool if I could subscribe to x number of podcasts and have them automatically download/udate without having to touch the 3GS -- just do all the controlling via the car's interface. The problem it doesn't seem like podcasts are downloaded to the "Podcast" directory in the phone anymore (thank you iOS 6 and Apple's Podcast app). Since my car's interface will only stay in the "Music" directory, is there anyway to automatically get podcasts into that directory so I control them using the car's interface? 3rd party app perhaps? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hello. I am trying to unlock a phone for someone using their new Simple Mobile carrier. I read online that Simple Mobile uses tmobile towers, so the iphone can work if it is unlocked. I have also unlocked my own iphone for tmobile, so I know this is true. The iphone is unlocked, but it keeps forcing me to activate it when I put in the new sim card.When I try to activate it, it says that the simcard is not supported.when I insert the old at&t sim, it can activate, but the sim is a fake, its not a working card, so I am baffled. Once its "activated" with the old sim, I try to switch them, but it will always force the activation screen on me when I use the simple mobile card. -I have tried restoring the iphone-I have tried hard restarting the iphone. I did this before on my 4 on tmobile with no problems.So Im just doing the same thing I did then. Does anyone know how or have any tips for activating the iphone using an unsupported sim?
Can I get my secondhand iphone 4 reset to factory setting? It is on uk carrier 3 and I would like to use it on the tmobile or Virgin carriers and give it to my daughter for her birthday on 16-02-
I had a factory unlocked verizon iphone 4s. After my upgrade to ios 6.1 it will not activate for tmobile anymore. It went back to verizon.
This iphone5 has a bad battery life. Appalling reception quality, and I've checked with other owners across O2, Orange, tmobile and Vodafone and the same problems exist. The phone just cuts out in the middle of a call even when showing full reception. Also the phone casing heats up very quickly. Are Apple actually going to do something about this iphone5 or have they given up? They are likely to take Microsoft's crown when it comes to releasing unprepared and not fully tested products to market! Very very very disappointed and frustrated!
i have an iphone through verizon and we are about to switch phone companies and i was wondering can i use my iphone through tmobile service i really like my iphone and i dont want to use tmobiles phones
Hi I bought this phone on ebay from a seller who states the phone is unlocked. However, the sim is not recognized by the phone.The seller sent the follwoing instructions but it doesn't seem to work either. Do I have to buy an unlock code from a third party? Please advise... Do not waste your money because the unlock Code is already paid for through Apple itunes. To unlock it, Insert a tmobile or Non-ATT Sim Card. Open itunes on your Computer. Plug the iphone into your Computer and wait until itunes recognizes it. Unplug the iphone from the Computer. Wait 20 seconds and plug it in again. It should now be unlocked. The unlock Code has already been paid for through Apple itunes. Thank you.

I contacted Telus and they have sent Apple a request to unlock my iphone 4. They told me I had to sync it with itunes and that is where I am confused. I went through what I thought was the process to sync it but never did get a message saying the phone is unlocked. I took the phone and sim card to tmobile today and it isn't unlocked. Anyone have an idea which step I may have missed? I did a restore after an update, etc. I am not very 'techie'. Am connecting the phone with USB to my MacBook and am online. Very frustrating and could really use help!
I tried to switch my cut up tmobile sim to a tmobile micro sim and now there's just a black screen with a loading sign on my iphone 4. also, it wont turn on or off. Please help!!
I am an infrequent cell phone user. I currently have a Verizon paygo account with a $300 balance. I would like to get an Iphone5 and am willing to pay "full price" for the phone. Alas, VZ doesn't offer paygo for the iphone but tmobile does. I realize I could just buy an unlocked Iphone5 and use it on Tmob but I hate leaving the $300 at VZ. Sounds like the Verizon CDMA Iphone5 has also has support for GSM. So, I am wondering if the following might work: - buy the iphone5 at verizon and sign a 2 year contract ($199).- use up my $300 credit over a few months ($80 per month)- terminate the contract and pay the $350 fee (still cheaper than full priced unlock)- take the phoneover to tmobile and insert their nano sim into the "unlocked" GSM slot- sign up for their cheapest plan and live happily & cheaply ever after ... I would appreciate thoughts and comments from those of you who know much more about this sort of stuff. Thanks.
I have an iphone 5 unlocked. I have been using it for few weeks but 4 days ago I turned it off and in the morning it had NoService. Called tmobile and apple costumer services no one helped. Did any one had this issue
I have tmobile as a service carrier. I have heard a lot about unlocking iphones to use with tmobile. Are there disadvantages? Is it llegal?
I've had my iphone for approx 2-3 days now and whe I got it, I installed iOS 6.0.1. immediately, everything was fine, my battery life is quite good when not using 3G but WiFi instead. However, after a day of having the iphone 4S, in the evening I went onto my camera and took a picture, my screen went black and RGB lines went through it and flickered back onto normal screen again. I've noticed it's becoming increasingly hot when I'm only running 2 apps (cos i force shut down apps by double clicking home) last night it actually burnt my hand, like a scold. i couldn't touch it because it just overheated so much it was too hot to touch. I don't know whether to go back to tmobile where I got the phone from or go into an Apple shop. My mother even says that I need to send it off. But I've been reading forum topics about it and apparently it's been happening to alot of people with 4/4S on iOS 6.
Mám zaplá mobilní data a i když nejdu na facebook, vypla jsem počasí, icloud, polohování, teoreticky úplně vše, stejně mi data mizí, i když teď už jen trochu, ale tak za hodinu to udělá toho 0,4MB. Ale mít iphone bez dat, to mě teda nebaví, jenže s takovou to žere obrovsky. Když jsem měla počasí a icloud zaplý a nic jsem nedělala, za hodinu mi to natahalo 1MB - ano emaily ani iMessage.Je nějaké řešení kde jde vidět ke které app ta data jdou? Nebo jak se dá fungovat s daty a přitom nemít neomezený tarif na data?když jsem začínala a šla jsem na fb tak během minuty mi to vzalo 3MB, dá se to nějak omezit? Na emailu potřebuji být a v Tmobilemi jen řekli že to mám vypínat ručně.Doufám že je někde jen něco špatně a můžu to přenastavit Díky za raduD.
people are offering an unlock service that's similar to a factory unlock from apple?? anyone heard of this? and does apple offer a unlock service i'd rather pay them to do it, if they do? i just want my phone to work with tmobile. . . . I HATE DROIDS!!!!
I bought an iphone 4 about 2 years ago from a tmobile store, it was on a pay as you go contract so i paid for the phone outright. i have now decided to unlock my phone and switch to a different carrier. I had the phone swapped the day after i bought it as the speakers never worked. i swapped it at t mobile itself no questions asked.I then had the phone swapped a further two times at the apple store meadowhall due to other faults. now i have tried to ring t mobile to unlock the phone, which they have charged me for. i waited the amount of time given and called back as nothing had happened, turns out they were using the origional phones details to unlock the phone. i gave them the details of the new phone which they said they would unlock for me without me having to pay again, i today received a text from tmobile saying 'we regret to inform you that we cannot complete your unlock request to unlock your iphone Reason: Account details miss match. if you have any queries call on 08454125000' any ideas how to resolve this? as ive been waiting months! FED UP!!

i want to unlock my iphone 4Tmobile
I was wondering where I could find a brand new 'factory unlocked' iphone 4s? does apple sell unlocked iphones 4/4s brand new, or are those 'jailbroken'? I saw them on amazon, and thats why I'm wondering about them... I don't have at&t, so if I get one, I want to bring it to tmobile to use... thanks! (PS) does 'factory unlocked' mean 'jailbroken' ?
O meu iphone 4S, está trancando após a atualização do IOS 6. Após a atualização de software, ele começou a travar. As vezes ele consome até mais bateria, pois fica "procurando" o sinal wireless. Ele tranca e fecha nas configurações, quando vou tirar foto ou acessar as fotos do álbum. Além de trancar outros aplicativos. Como faço para corrigir isso ou voltar para o IOS anterior? Alguém mais está com esse problema?

These numbers has been appearing on my bill and I don't know why.... I think it has to do with the phone's setting/iMessage. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm using tmobile and the only thing they said they can do is upgrade my plan to the international plan or call/text them myself, but then I'd be charged even more. I've looked it up on the internet, but it doesn't show any solutions. Please help!!

My factory unlocked iphone 4S on T-Mobile cant receive Emoji icons from an ATT iphone. Instead I see a bunch of weird symbols, but the ATT iphone can receive emoji's from my phone. Also some of my friends have a verizon iphone and I can receive their Emoji icons, and they can receive mine. At one point I was able to receive emoji icons from ATT iPhones. Is this a problem on ATT's network or T-Mobile's ? any help would be greatly appreciated !
