Nope. The Cingular/AT&T version of the Apple iPhone will work only on the Cingular/AT&T network.
UPDATE: T-Mobile SIM cards can be used in an iPhone that has been jailbroken and unlocked via third party software. This is to be done at your own risk and can void your warranty with Apple.

the iPhone will NOT hold a SIM-card !! Remark the device :there is NO way to open it. Source from inside Apple confirmed me that the identity normaly stored on the SIM, will be put into the device by the provider. This is one if not the major reasons why Apple is starting in the US only with Cingular and not the other providers. Plans for Europe are indicating same direction : minimum number of providers (Vodaphone and Orange being one of them)
Actually, IT DOES! Being an iPhone owner/att wireless subscriber, I know, for a fact, that you CAN remove the SIM from the top of the phone. There is a little pin hole you push with a pin and the tray slides out and it holds the SIM... I've taken my sim out and put it back in the other day in an effort to restart the phone... so, arent we happy that this issue has been laid to rest? :) thank you, goodday.
so can i put a 02 sim card in a iphone or not
please reply
The top of the Iphone does have a sim card tray. ALL gsm phones must use a sim card and it must be user removable. The phone will be locked, but im sure in the near future, someone will develop the software to unlock it so you can use it on other gsm networks, such as tmobile.
I worked my way backwards in order to get to my theory. For Apple the end result is to have a 3G compliant/capable phone. This could only mean that you would either need to get a new iPhone at the end of your two year contract when the standard changes or upgrade to the new standard. Why produce a phone with a technology that will soon be obsolete? As opposed to making one that uses current technologies(GSM, GPRS, EDGE), with future technologies dormant!(WCDMA, 3G)
Maybe the iPhone is a GSM/CDMA hybrid and has a virtual sim-card. This makes the most sense to me because of what I have red on many other websites about the inability for anyone to remove the 'sim-card' and the indication that the iPhone will have, in the near future, 3G capabilities. Some website and reviews of the iPhone claim that there is no 'sim-card'.
It is possible for the chip-set for the iPhone(which is not talked about - at all)to have the features for GSM, GPRS, EDGE and CDMA coexisting. If you pop over to QUALCOMM you could find out more about WCDMA technology and chipsets that make it possible for a device like the iPhone to not warrant a 'sim-card'. This would explain why it would make sense for Apple to use a WCDMA chipset(which would extend the iPhone's abilities to work with 3G technology)with dormant features, until they are ready to offer this service to their new iPhone consumer base, with only just the GSM, GPRS and EDGE available now.
From my non-technical understanding of CDMA, you don't need a 'sim-card' like with a GSM phone because the security features and storage capabilities rely on the handset and the network of the CDMA platform which does not need a third component like a 'sim-card' for sending or storing any data specific information that may or may not be needed by your handset or network for a call to be made or for data to be transfered.
So the question of whether there is or is not a 'sim-card' in the iPhone and whether you can remove it or not is still speculative but the fact that this is not talked about from Apple's side is interesting, given the future prospects of the iPhone.

You are pretty much a moron. You probably, like, believe in jesus and stuff. Dumb.
No your a moron
Man, you are stupid. If you even read anything, the iPhone has a pinhole at the top that opens the drawer for the SIM card. You have to look into stuff if you want the truth.
if you notice, his post was in 2007 before the iphone came out you fucking idiot
I have a iphone 16 GB i stuck a ear ring in the pin hole at the top and a sim card just poped out.
So you cant tell me that a IPHONE from apple and i have AT&T does not have a SIM CARD. Because it does. i know this because i looked and it opened and poped out. i saw it and looked at it for a min. or so . It is for sure a sim card yes it is 4-sure ... Julie
I dont know.
you can take the sim card out of the iphone just watch the video.....

You can take the sim card out all day long, but you are not saying that the T-Mobile sim card will work in the iPhone after making phone calls, sending text messgaes, picture messages and checking voicemail. If someone can prove that on video without buying special software, I will buy it now.
youtube Iphone anySIM!
Why doesn't any one try it?? Put one of your friends sim cards in tit and see if a hard restart works.
Thats a great idea!!! I just tried it cuz I have both an Iphone and a Tmobile phone. I switched the SIM cards and BOTH MY PHONES WORK!!! The Iphone put up a message saying "different SIM card detected. Connect to itunes" But the the message went away, and my iphone said "T-Mobile" up at the top! SO THERE YOU ALL GO! IT WORKS!! I
someone should try it and see what happenes cuz i really want an iphone and i have tmobile.
Iphone is Hacked you can put in ANY "GSM" SIM card in it anywhere in the world. I have a Bell carrier here in Canada (CDMA.) But using my sister's Fido SIM card I was able to make and receive calls without any problems. But this is an unlocked Iphone, the one that comes in the original packaging wont work.

yes you do.. and any other sim card will work as long as its unlocked properly
Okay, I read all of these messages. I too have T-Moible and would like to have an iPhone. I see on eBay there are many unlocked iPhone units for sale. Does this mean that they will work with a T-Moible chip?
Yes but you don't need to buy an unlocked iPhone. Just do it yourself.
Jailbreak + anySIM.
how do u unlock the iphone to use it for tmobile
Hi there, I just recently got an iPhone. However, it's not unlocked because I cannot use any sim card on it. Everything else is obviously fxning fine, except call related features. Is there anyway to enable the phone to work with a tmobile sim without purchasing hyper-card? I tried using AnySim?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
YOU KNOW WHAT, THE ENGINEERS WHO CREATED THE NEW IPHONE WERE A BIT REALLY STUPID, I DONT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY!!

Im looking into buying the new iphone coming out on july. I know now you can unlock the phone and change sim cards. But are you able to use the internet freely, receive calls, make calls and all that..
Is it true you have to update the software every so often to avoid the phone getting luck again?
Thank you
DOES THE INTERNET WORK THE SAME IF YOU USE A TMOBILE SIM CARD
