Hi,
I just read this on a T-Mobile forum (they're talking iPhone from Sprint):

Anyone every tried? Wondering if you can also do this with the express replacement service ($29) without going to Apple Store. As Apple send you one first.
I know that Apple is suppose to give you the exact same phone with same network where it is locked to. So this method seems too easy.

It's easily done to get ANY iPhone on T-Mobile. go to the Apple Store and get your phone replaced for something covered under warranty. go in with your SIM card out and a T-Mobile sim available with you. after they bring the phone out, hand them your T-Mo sim to put it in the new phone. it will ask what carrier you're on, select StraighTalk. watch as your iPhone activates and becomes locked to the StraightTalk US Activation Policy! it works every time! on the A1586 (Sprint iPhone 6) I'm able to get T-Mo LTE!
"go to the Apple Store and get your phone replaced for something covered under warranty." meaning, WHEN your iPhone is in need of a replacement, go to the Apple Store and use this method. I used this method and told them that the phone wouldn't connect to wifi 50% of the time, and they replaced it even though it was working fine. when you're setting up the new phone, it lets you select what activation policy you want applied to the device. it's very simple.
