Tmobile 3g on IPhone

[ayusuf]

Is it possible? I tried looking on google but most of the posts were old. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Not possible.

Ah okay. Is it because of the different frequencies still? I heard you can get internet or is that just the EDGE?

[i.Annie]

Yes, still diff frequencies.

You can get EDGE which is significantly slower than 3G, but nonetheless you can have a data plan. You just cant use T-Mobile's 3G on an iPhone.

always wondered why there couldn't be an exploit or hack of some sort to somehow get the frequencies to match. guess that's not possible?

Its a hardware issue not software. The phone is made to run with specific frequencies for 3G to work. T-Mobile's frequencies are not supported by the phone, youd have to modify the hardware.

T-Mobile UK works but they run on a diff frequency than T-Mo USA.
