I'm currently using a Sidekick II with data plan on T-Mobile. If I get an iPhone and unlock it, would I need to change my plan with T-Mobile? And (aside from visual voicemail) would it work exactly as if it were on ATT?
An interesting little story regarding T-Mobile and the iPhone...
I called them Friday to find out exactly what day my 2-year contract expires. The phone rep wanted to know why I'd be switching, and I told him quite frankly, "you don't have iPhone". He suggested some other model phone they did have, and I said I wasn't interested. Then, he actually suggested I get an unlocked iPhone so that I could still use T-Mobile, to which I replied, "that wouldn't have visual voicemail and voids the warranty on the phone". He argued with me about the warranty thing, but I assured him it did. Finally, he flat-out told me they would have iPhone by the end of the year. I highly doubt that's the case, but interesting they would make such desperate claims to keep customers from jumping ship.
