quick ques for you guys,i am in fl for business and i just purchased a iphone 5 for my bro from an apple store, when i come back to Trinidad would he be able to get 4g on it even though it was not bought from bmobile?

and he is on a cooperate account, he wants the 10Mb a month package

when u go to get the plan. tell them its for an android phone and take either the 5gb or 10gb. it will work. if u tell them its for an iphone they might hit u some 3rd world backward talk about how u didn buy it from them.

not true. Bmobile will still set up your device for you with 4G at normal rates.

even if you didnt buy an iPhone from them you can still get a normal 4G package just like everyone else. You don't have to hide that you own an iPhone even though bmobile sells them.

you sure about that duane?

in the past bmobile has always said " that phone won't work down here"
"nah that can't work on our network" if you tried to get a service from them on a phone that has foreign carrier branding on it.

I had 3 AT&T iPhone 4S all of which I unlocked locally rite here on trinituner, i took 2 into tstt an dey configured it to work with their 4g service in minutes. The 3rd I configured myself ....prepaid.
Settings>General>Network>Cellular data network>APN.......type bconnected here
Den restart phone!

^ exactly

no trouble at all

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Duane are you sure a carrier update from bmobile is imminent to restore the mobile hotspot feature?

[S_2NR]

I remember someone said they were trying to get on an iPhone plan with a foreign purchased iPhone and bmobile beat up for it. I realise Duane rel love bmobile/TSTT tho

bmobile will not add their iPhone plans (voice, data, text) to an iPhone that wasn't purchased from them, but they will add the regular 4G data plans to exciting plans , hope that clears up the confusion.

To be fair it's the same for all carriers.
The difference is you can get it factory unlock on one US carrier and take it to another (once contract expired/paid out)

Technically it's the same here, you just have to go through TATT to get the phone unlocked once the contract is over/ cancelled with early termination fees.

But TSTT does not sell factory unlocked iPhones.

But TSTT does not sell factory unlocked iPhones.

Last time I checked neither do AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and we'll see what Tmobile does next year when they start selling next year. As far as I know none of them sell the phone unlocked outright, when the 5 was released there was an issue that arose when customers on AT&T bought the phone outright (no contract) and paid full price in Apple Stores, it said their phones were unlocked after connecting to iTunes because Apple Systems detected they paid full price. Apple stopped selling AT&T iPhones at full price because of this. I could be wrong, I'm sure some minor US carriers who carry the iPhone sell them unlocked but correct me if I'm wrong, none of the major ones do.

You can buy a "no contract" iPhone from the carrier then ask them to unlock it for you, if you are already a customer with them. After that, however, you cannot use that phone with that same carrier.

Okay interesting, didn't know that thanks

no just facts

you on the other hand like to troll and complain - without actually finding out what is true.
Which is why you are quick to make uneducated comments like

if u tell them its for an iphone they might hit u some 3rd world backward talk about how u didn buy it from them.

There are alot of people (maybe thousands) in T&T with iPhones that they bought elsewhere, factory unlocked and they have it working with bmobile. The iPhone does not require any special data plan like a Blackberry, so any talk of not being able to work unless you buy it from them is silly and naive.

I have a bmobile phone, so i comment about what I know.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Ok, thanks.

As you all mention that, a co-worker of mines got a notification to update the carrier settings on her 4S Thursday (bmobile).
I'm also on bmobile but got no such notification.

What does your co-workers carrier read now? bmobile 13.0?

My bad - just checked and the phone is unlocked to bmobile using a Gevey sim.

The carrier was reading Rogers 13.0

What would happen if she chooses "Yes" to update carrier settings in this case though?

Doubt anything would happen. Could be wrong though.

But once the baseband is not tampered with and is supported by the gevey sim, then she good to go

[Strauss]

Why not just make life easier and get it factory unlocked?

The price dog cheap these days and you will never have to worry about baseband ever again or if you jail break or not.

Apple TV users with possibly the FLOW 15MB package ... how good is the service speed-wise?

I want to switch over next week so I wanted to know as I'm on Blink 2MB package at present.

Excellent

I personally find that apple content loads considerably slower than say YouTube etc - but it loads

[Parvin]

Thanks man.

BTW, what will be the best available subscription sites? It will be the Apple TV3 and I know it can't be jailbroken but I won't mind paying $8 US per month for movies.

[evil_twin]

where can i get a itunes gift card locally?
