I only see a $45 plan (500 mins + 2GB data + per message text costs), which is the same price as StraightTalk, but with less texting privileges.Perfect time for the 5S
Unlocked iPhone 5S on their $30/month no contract plan would be perfect.
Back in 2007, Apple should have made T-Mobile the exclusive carrier back in 2007. AT&T has a better network now in many places now, but that wasn't the case in 2007. AT&T should have died, but Apple kept them afloat and profitable with the iPhone. T-Mobile -- which had far better customer service, phone service, and prices -- suffered as a consequence.

Your AT&T phone will already be able to rock their LTE when it rolls out but yeah I only pick up 3G/HSPA+ in certain areas.
Could never switch from T-Mobile I'm on 5.99 unlimited data
T-mobile is just going to be like others....limited data...with strings attached like ATT aka puppet.
Everyone who is loving this doesn't realize that it isn't all about how cheap the plans are. T-Mobile has glaring network problems, even worse than Sprint.
It only works for people who live in major cities and adjacent suburbs. If you travel, then it is completely useless.
Poor network coverage in most problems and 3G doesn't cover all major areas, where even AT&T/VZW/Sprint have coverage.
For example, where I live in Boston, I can drive about 10 minutes and go into full EDGE, not even HSPA+. AT&T/VZW have LTE.
When I got visit my family in Maine. T-Mobile has only deployed "4G" in the "busy" parts of Portland, ME. I can go down the street from where my parents live and T-Mobile has EDGE. Then drive 10 minutes down the road, 4G is back. Same ****, over and over again. AT&T/VZW are full LTE in that area too. Sprint at least has 3G.
I don't think Apple should have even let T-Mobile gotten the iPhone. Dropping from 3G to EDGE in major cities is ridiculous when VZW/ATT probably offer LTE and Sprint at least has 3G.
On a positive note, it's about time T-Mobile sacked up and offered it. They were loosing people left and right to iPhone-carrying carriers.
Hot T-Mobile chic holding an iPhone. Whoa indeed.
Someone should post a picture.
Too bad the hot girl in their commercials won't come with it
Someone should post a picture.
So does T-Mobile have the kind of network that allows me talk and do data as with AT&T, or is it like Verizon and Sprint? If it's the former, I'll jump next summer.
You're welcome.

Looks like we are grandfathered in right now.
I would imagine that we will be required to switch if we are getting a subsidized iPhone from T-Mobile.
An unsubsidized iPhone maybe we can keep the old plan - but we will see.
Sprint speeds are not comparable with T-Mobile's, in my opinion -- even in Boston:

Actually you're welcome because I took that shot haha
All jokes aside that is my picture and I'm glad you like it.
That's the issue though. Although my AT&T iPhone 5 is future proof for T-Mobile's refarmed 4G/LTE Network, I need it to work right now, not later. Hell, even though T-Mobile announced that Houston, TX was 3G ready for the iPhone, the reality is that that's not the case. I've been around Houston, and I only get 3G on certain spots.
In fact, just last week my neighborhood FINALLY got T-Mobile's 3G network, but that's not the case at my job. I also had to go downtown about two weeks ago, and it was the same story, pure Edge speeds.
Honestly though, T-Mobile's Edge speed are a lot better than Sprint's ******** 3G network. God, the crap I had to put up with Sprint here in Houston. >>
You got to take those photos? Words cannot explain how jealous I am right now!
So now where do we go from here? Pretty much every network in existence in the US now carries the phone. Lets see these prices drop, or sue them for price fixing.
