3G 95% of the time. EDGE or GPRW the rest. No 4G or LTE unless you pay extra for it via text prompt when you enter a country.

Coleman I do "basic" texting, picture and quick video clip texting. I personally have not tethered it to a laptop, but I've seen a colleague do it with no problem. I have tethered it to my ipad and watched real time streaming ESPN football games. Occasionally there is a video connection hiccup but audio is not affected. GPS works perfect.......and that burns data like crazy. I now keep my data roaming on 24/7 knowing there will never be any extra usage fees (except for the $.20 per minute calling) when I am overseas. Technically I really don't need an unlocked phone anymore as long as I keep this tmobile plan.
- If you buy it from the Apple store, it's unlocked. Apple doesn't sell locked T-Mobile iPhones.
- If you buy it from a T-Mobile store, even at full price, it will be locked to T-Mobile until you've had service with them for 40 days and then they will unlock it.
You speak without proof. I visited the Apple store where I live to find the truth in all this. They are all locked to a particular carrier, even if at full price. It is incumbant upon you to call the carrier. TMobile just happens to be a little behind (45 days).
Okay. Enough already. I am an international airline captain. I have a Tmobile 64g 5s.....purchased from Apple online. I've had a TM account for over 10 years starting when they used to be Voicestream. I activated the new phone at my local TM store. Flew to Hong Kong next day. Installed my 3 Hong Kong nano sim. Worked fine. Since then I have flown to Australia and used my 3 Australia nano sim. Italy Tim nano sim. Germany Orange nano sim. Netherlands Orange nano sim. Great Britian 3 nano sim. All worked fine. The phone was unlocked out of the box and worked perfectly for talk, text, data and hotspot. Good news, right? Here's better news. As of November 1, T-mobile USA introduced global access. They have a deal with 100 countries for $.20 per minute incoming and outgoing roaming talk time and UNLIMITED roaming data and text. With this new deal I no longer have to recharge foreign sims. In fact I've tossed them. My TM phone is now usable in 100 countries plus the US for $60 a month. I have unlimited data and text/picture plus $.20 per minute from any country outside the US talk time.
You are wrong. The T-Mobile version sold at the Apple Store IS UNLOCKED! That is why it's always out of stock and very hard to come by at the Apple Store. The employee either doesn't know better or he purposely lied to you.You speak without proof. I visited the Apple store where I live to find the truth in all this. They are all locked to a particular carrier, even if at full price. It is incumbant upon you to call the carrier. TMobile just happens to be a little behind (45 days).

I get 3G on my iPhone with a local SIM so I will get 3G with T-Mobile.Primarily 3G. Very rare edge or GPRW. When you enter a country you will get a text asking if you want to upgrade to 500mb of faster speed for a week for $20. BUT even TM says don't do it because 90 out of the 100 countries they have this deal with, doesn't have 4g or LTE capability. Free 3G is fast enough for me...and there is a lot you can do with it. Always remember to leave your data roaming button ON.
There are several Apple stores in Miami. Have your uncle buy a full priced "device only" AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile iPhone and it will be unlocked.Bad new for me.
My auncle is gonna be in Miami tomorrow.
Does anybody knows if Best Buy sells unlocked Iphones 5s?
Thank you.

Bestbuy does not sell unlocked iPhone 5s. Just Apple online or retail stores.
I am asking her right now.I think she just asked for T-mobile.
My uncle leaves Miami on Nov 23th. So, I am waiting for a miracle! XD
Thank you for the information.
Your uncle is a she? I am confused. Why can't your uncle go to an apple store?
If she is someone you are buying for if you are looking for unlocked. Any of the models I listed above if purchased device only will be unlocked. You can use it with any GSM carrier.
I am sorry not to explain the case very well.
My uncle(he) is arriving tomorrow at my other uncle's house in Miami (she)
The big problem is the shortage of Iphones 5s at the stores :S
English is a second language? What is your native language?I am sorry not to explain the case very well.

There is a lot of stock of the space gray iPhone 5s.
I just checked the zip code you posted. I see stock of space gray AT&T, Verizon, and one 64GB T-Mobile. Silver I see AT&T and Verizon. And I even see stock of gold in all 3 carriers.My native language is Spanish. Im learning
Are you sure? So, there is hope.
Because I clicked on "check availability" from t-mob, verizon and AT&T, then enter the zip code 33156 and there arent any stock of Iphone 5s, whatever size or color.My uncle lives in Kendall, south part of Miami)
How do you know there is a lot of stock.
Thanks.
