Default unlocked jailbroken iPhone

Does anyone have one of these iPhones? They are supposed to work with other GSM providers. (not only at&t) If they do work, how is the speed?

Well, unlocked means any GSM phone will work with any GSM provider...

The speed will be determined by what data network your provider has.

I had Verizon which was very good in NYC, but now I have AT&T which is lacking. Egay has tutorials how to unlock the phone which means I can go back to Verizon but July 11 apple has a faster iPhone coming out.

By the way, instead of paying on ebay (like a moron), have you tried searching google for how to jailbreak it? Any info you can buy on ebay is also available for free online...

so, lets see, you signed up for a plan, used it, then didnt re-up when it was done, then they started charging you regular rates?

that sure sounds like a bad company to me.




personally i have been with them when they were Voicestream back in 2001 and the only issues I had was a shitty Samsung phone I got that I ended up have to have replaced 3 times before I just got a different phone.

their customer service has always been great to me, and when I added my wife and jumped to the family plan things have been great.

never had a single issue with service that was THEIR fault, just the shitty phones fault.

The bills have always been 100% correct and I have never had to call in to get a bill fixed. Hell, I even got a 2 mth credit of service for the issue i had with that shitty samsung phone, granted it was the 13th and 14th month of the 1yr plan that we got free, but sure as ----, when the 13th and 14th month came around, our bill was $0 each month.
