Noah's got the iPhone 3G and the old iPhone - the old one's jailbroken, unlocked, and running on T-Mobile. Side by side you can see how the unlocked version works just like the new one (minus 3G). All hail the iPhone-dev team! Also, check out the T-Zones hack for T-Mobile users!

Sunday, November 02, 2008there is something similar to unlocking the iPhone 3G. Its where you open the sim card slot, take the old sim card out, and put in a sim adapter,then put in whatever sim card u want to.

Saturday, August 09, 2008Dude! i don't understand why all these people love to unlock it to use on t-mo. Their network is slow garbage with poor reception. AT&T's soo much better, and for those that complain about price, i think you pay for what you get and basically you don't get that much with t-mobile

T-Mo Fan
Friday, August 01, 2008T-Mobile has better coverage, cheaper rates, and amazingly better customer service then AT&T. So yeah, lots of folks prefer T-Mo over 'the Deathstar'. As to other US carriers, they're either incompatible technology (Verizon & Sprint/Nextel) or strictly regional. As to support, T-Mobile International already sells the iPhone in lots of countries, just not the US. So support is fine from T-Mo, they've even got a department specially set up to handle the many non-T-Mobile-branded phones on their network. Ben running my iPhone 'classic' on T-Mo for 6 months now, and pwn'ed it to 2.0 software last week.

Friday, August 01, 2008Does YouTube really work for you on T-Zones? It doesn't for most. Streaming radio doesn't work, either.

1/8/2009 8:16:06 PMin response to jshaw6000: if you have a jailbroken iphone, then you can just go into cydia and then go to sections, then go to themes(springboard) and it'll be in the b's section

12/6/2008 5:35:04 AMSo when I jailbreak it...I can still use AT%T as a phone and shit...I don't see the point in unlocking it unless you just feel AT&T are nazis. Out of all the service providers I have ever had they have always had the best connection overall to towers, it would make since why mac would use them for there iPhone. No one has been able to awnser that simple question, can I still use iPhone 3G as a phone if I jailbreak it?

420phenom
12/1/2008 2:17:32 PMwell unlocking is being able to use any sim card on the iphone. jailbreaking is a program known as cydia and installer witch allows u to download endless amounts of apps that dont exist on regular iphones for example video recorder,etc. and its safe on the 1rst gen iphone not to sure about unlocking a 3g i heard its possible but never seen it personnally

11/30/2008 12:19:33 PMcan some one please tell me what jailbroken means. also if i buy an iphone and get it unlocked will this create any problems ?

11/30/2008 9:23:13 AMjail breaking is like an iphone wayof hacking and if you didnt have the latest version it helped you download apps. if you do it there is a small chance of failing but if it fails it can mess up your iphone if that happens all you need to do is restore it and back it up
