The report notes that T-Mobile already has thousands of iPhone’s on it’s US network, thanks to carrier unlocks. […]
Guess they decided to redesign… Didn’t They
[…] are still tied to AT&T as the carrier. If you want to get around this, you will need to use a carrier unlock for the iPhone 4. Carrier unlocked iPhones are available in other countries, including France, the UK, and Canada, […]
