Apple Invites More to the iPhone Party, T-Mobile to Carry iPhone 5 This Fall Too

**Phillip Swanson** · 08-24-2011, 01:37 PM

Today T-Mobile entered the rumor mill of purported iPhone 5 carriers this fall.

MacTrast is claiming a source of theirs informed them T-Mobile will be offering the new iPhone this fall alongside AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. If so, it would mark the first time all four major U.S. carriers would offer the phone simultaneously. Also, it means the 1 million+ iPhone users that use an unlocked version of the phone on T-Mobile's network can finally go legit. If they want to.

The year-end Apple cocktail-party-for-all-our-phones-carriers (that doesn't exist) could be very awkward this year. AT&T would constantly be trying to slip Rohypnol into T-Mobile's drink, while Sprint tries be polite as Verizon asks them about their nationwide coverage, and how many people still use Nextel handsets. Sprint will key "Can you feed me now?" into the side of Verizon's car as they leave. An obvious jab at the considerable amount of weight the can-you-hear-me-now guy has gained.

Sweet iPhone 5 could one of my options now

Now it'll just be a matter of which carrier will offer the best plans, in my case which carrier will offer the unlimited data plan and will remain offering it. I just hope the carriers that jump on the bandwagon that will get the iPhone will not remove the unlimited plan as an option. You can't have an iPhone and not have unlimited data; there's just too much to do on the phone that 2GB just won't be enough.

may the best contract plan win

**vantheman169** · 08-24-2011, 02:36 PM

wohoo if thats the case then i will be able to use it on iWireless which is a T-mobile affiliate and they use the same 3G bands. As of right now i dont have 3G which kinda blows. But my total per month for unlimited everything is 57.00 dollars. If i get 3G speeds then it will be 67 a month total after taxes. Either way i am sticking with iWireless! But i do miss 3G.

T-mobile is already on iPhone 4.

**Mes** · 08-24-2011, 03:12 PM

An iPhone free-for-all ?!?! If true, awesome news for customers.

**mlopato** · 08-24-2011, 03:17 PM

That is just pure socialism.. whats next a free iphone for all. Anyway bye bye at&t and your silly tethering we've been watching you messages.

**Colby21** · 08-24-2011, 03:31 PM

In the USA, you can run an unlocked iPhone 4 on T-Mobile, but you don't get 3G speeds. My brother uses it and I think he said it uses EDGE, but it's still faster then his old iPhone 3G speeds. It might just be the fact that the whole phone runs faster that makes it seem like the internet runs faster though.

Anyway, I'm happy the iPhone 5 will come to T-Mobile. I still have 1 year left on my plan and I'm using a crappy Nokia with an iPod Touch. So now I can get the iPhone 5 and have 1 less device in my pockets.

Whoa, that came out of nowhere.

**ehren88888** · 08-24-2011, 04:59 PM

A PG-13 movie you can say ***mod edit*** like 17 times!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not going to say this again!!. Be nice, play nice. This is a PG-13 forum !!

I masked my cuss word on purpose to be lighthearted and imformative about MPAA movie ratings. Guess that didn't work, how stupid! sheesh!

**Colby21** · 08-24-2011, 08:34 PM

I thought in PG-13 movies you get one f bomb, then that's it. Anything after that is rated R

Lol get wifi **mod edit**

**Notangel74** · 08-24-2011, 10:15 PM

I will get the iPhone on Sprint but needs to be jailbreak well not sure cause. I'm happy with my HTC EVO

**Orby** · 08-25-2011, 01:03 AM

Since some members are being more literal about what does and does not constitute "PG-13," let's go with the "spirit of PG-13."

Keep the f-bombs and other expletives away from the discussion. Play nice, you have no rights. Thanks.

OT: More competition is (almost) always a good thing. Though adding T-Mo at this point may be silly, what with the acquisition being as far along as it is... wonder how long Sprint's unthrottled, uncapped 3G data lasts though.
