I jailbroke and unlocked successfully. I do not have the T*Mobile data card as someone is buying this from me, but I want it set up for her to insert her cut SIM card. iPhone 4, fwiw.

I get to this point: Tap on “Settings” then “General” then to “Network” and “Cellular Data Network”
Enter in the following T-Mobile specific settings under Cellular Data, MMS, and Internet Tethering:

I am there, but “Cellular Data” only has an On and Off switch. I put it to “On” and have nowhere to enter the settings. Help please!

David,
you will need to unlock the phone first if you want to use it for T-mo.

I’m having the same problem. I phone 3g running 4.2.1 firmware 6.15.0 unlocked with redsn0w 0.9.6b5 and unlocked with Ultrasn0w through cydia. Help!

I’m having the same problem Rick is. Using an iPhone 3GS with 5.0.1 redsn0w untethered, “no service” or “searching” after following all of the steps. Sad panda!

TMo – you’ll be stuck with Edge as TMo has their own proprietary frequencies. You can use Wifi, though, for data services.

ATT – iPhones are made to work on ATT’s network and since it’s a “world” phone, it will work internationally since ATT’s frequencies are basically similar to the ones used by phone companies worldwide.

If you upgrade the iPhone’s iOS to v5x, you’ll lock the phone again.

If your phone contract is over with your phone provider, check to see if they’ll provide the Unlock code since you already fulfilled your service agreement with them!

Good luck!

I unlocked my phone with a gevey sim and it works fine. Should i still enter this data in or should I leave it blank. I don’t want to try to fix anything that’s not broke.

I have an unlocked jailbroken iphone (v4.3.3) and wish to subscribe to T-Mobile with data plan. Will I still be stuck with EDGE or 3G speed.

I am touring in USA soon and wish to get more insight before I commit to T-Mobile or AT&T.

Thank you!!

you are correct, the iphone will only function on edge while on the t-mobile network, one of the steps that should be put in here is to ensure that 3g is turned off. otherwise it will not connect correctly, and the APN should be epc.tmobile.com since t-mobile no longer used the voicestream apn settings.
