Will a T-Mobile SIM card work in my iPhone? They are both GSM/EDGE.
Out of the box, the GSM version of the Apple iPhone (up to the iPhone 4) and the iPhone 4S will only work on Apple approved GSM providers (i.e. AT&T).
T-Mobile SIM cards can be used in an iPhone that has been jailbroken and unlocked via third party software. There are a variety of commercial and non-commercial software options available which unlock the iPhone.
Though unlocking has become very common for users that do not want to be tied to a particular carrier or bound by a contract, users should understand that unlocking is performed 'at your own risk'.

I'm getting a IPhone 3 from a friend that has been jailbroken and use it with my T-Mobile SIM card. And yes, it DOES work, my sister just did that 2 weeks ago. :) My question is: will my data plan change/increase because of the changes? I currently have an ANDROID. Thanks in advance!

Your iPhone must be unlocked first...
You must use a NON 4G T mobile sim card
You can either have a "professional " cut the t mobile sim card down to fit in your iPhone ,OR you can purchase a sim card cutter on eBay for about $5 (that is wht the professional guy uses anyway)
Than after installation ,the phone must be programmed to work with the new t mobile card
(a Craigslist professional can do all this for you for about $40)
Good luck to you!

I wanted to buy Two Kits to convert from AT&T to T-Mobile. Is it that simple to do? I love my iPhone 4. I use it for my Volunteer Emergency Responder work. I really need some HELP ! please help me to get these Two iPhone 4s to work with T-Momile Lines of pre-paid Service .... I do NOT have AT&T Service anymore haven't for over Three Years.... Just been using WiFi / Magic Jack for iPhone, and Google Voice.... I want to buy these Kits.... What is this Volunteer EMT / Medical Assistant / Ham Radio Operator going to do... ???? The Apps on the iPhone are indeed for saving lives.... Seriously NOT making this into some Drama Show.... Any Pro-Bono Help out there, anywhere?
