T-Mobile supporting iPhone? Yep

t-mobile5-7-09.jpgIt doesn't sell them. It doesn't promote them. Apparently, however, T-Mobile will support them. The Consumerist is reporting today that a recent change left iPhone users on the T-Mobile network without voicemail. Worse, when someone tried to call an iPhone on the T-Mobile network, the system sent a blank text message. Unless the iPhone user had an unlimited text account, those little messages were costing money.

Several customers contacted Executive Customer Support and got a phone call that acknowledged the problem, and gave the customers a 1 month service credit.

T-Mobile, through a representative, said "T-Mobile, though they do not offer the iPhone, (but) they are committed to supporting users on their network who have them."

True to their word, within a day or two the problem was fixed.

Wow. Just wow.

I've been with T-Mobile since the iPhone was first unlocked. I wish the data plans would come down, though.

I crossed my fingers that they would come to Verzion as well. Too bad the Droid had to be trolling. I also like how T-Mobile isn't all private and restrictive of unlocked phones on T-Mobile. Even though I'm not with T-Mobile, I hope it'll get to T-Mobile because here in the US, AT&T is hogging it all.

i don't thin so t mobile is the competitor but t mobile is the cheapest data. Apple would be better suited to try to market the free ipad as something that could be used in schools or could be used as a way to revolutionize how we read our news every morning.

Hello to all my Apple fanBoy brethren. I've had Tmo for years now so much infact that switched to at&t for the 32gb and switched back because the service was so bad ....But any-who i would love to see the iphone come to Tmo, it works flawlessly on the network,however 3g is still an issue,or nonexistent to more precise.But with WiFi it doesent matter.

:(

Although I read on gizmodo a while ago that the unlimited data plans are doomed. They don't say when but they say that its a fact this is going to happen. :P

T-Mobile UK are pretty swag. They are way too expensive

as for today that is definitly not true, unlimited internet for 3 month on a prepaid card is a 20 pound

 

that is good value, i can't judge network coverage since i haven't been outside built up areas but inside them i nearly always have 3g. 

 

 

 

 

so my uk prepaid card is cheaper than my contract in germany
