I'm currently using the iPhone 4s on Virgin Mobile and want to switch due to the lack of phone availability on VM. I don't want to be locked into a contract but I do want the new iPhone 5s.
Can I just order the iPhone 5s for AT&T (GSM) for $199 and put it on T-Mobile's $30 plan or would I be forced to purchase the unlocked $649 T-Mobile version of the iPhone 5s? Thanks.
