When we buy any type of phone, we must need a carrier for it to work. Just like Apple’s iPhones, we must have carrier in order for us to utilize its features. However, when Apple announced to the public that all iPhones will now be exclusive with AT&T, many people were in rage of the unjust decision of Apple. This is because many people are using T-Mobile as their carrier. This led us to ask the same question all over again; can I still use iPhone with T-Mobile? Although this would require us our skills and time, there is still hope for us in order to use our iPhone with T-Mobile. Here are some of the steps that we could do.
 First of all, in order for us to get our iPhone’s working with the T-mobile network, we will need to download 3rd party software. In addition to this, the new Apple iPhones do have a current firmware that makes it hard for us to unlock. This means that it would already be difficult for us to use another network or carrier for this gadget aside from the AT&T. However, we could still try searching for the older version of the iPhone’s firmware and download it for us to use other carriers such as T-Mobile.
In case we are not technology or gadget savvy, we could still rely on many online retailers or shops that sell or offer pre-unlocked iPhones. These phones are unlocked by experts or certified people in order to allow different carriers in use. This is sometimes considered as one of the favorite options in order to use T-Mobile since it is hassle-free and it is also very fast and easy. Despite having these easy ways to make it possible for us to use T-Mobile, there are still some setbacks. One of these is the fact that we c annot use the 3G feature of the T-Mobile since iPhones are designed for AT&T and AT&T does have different 3G bands that are not similar to the T-Mobile’s. Nevertheless, the 2G feature will still work fine with the iPhone. Aside from this setback, the iPhones warranty will also be cancelled or become void due to unlocking it. This will remove all the free services the iPhone can have if it’s still under the warranty period. However, we are still very lucky to be able to use T-Mobile with these days’ new iPhones.
So now that we already know some of the ways in order for us to use iPhone with T-Mobile as well as the different risks involved, it is already up to us if we are ready or determined to use carrier of our choice despite having these setbacks.
