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'.

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

the sim card needs to be cut down to fit iphone. i just had it done. take it ti an authorizrd tmobile store and get a new sim and they will cut it for younon. nernwel
Firstnyou have tocmake sure its by at&t because they work with sim cards then you can unlock it and get a sim called gevey which will make t-mobile work with the iphone but don't recomend it because you can't update it after a while or gevey has found a way to by pass the update!

U should b able to insert it SIM card and as long as u have
Service on it then it should work with no problems
but since u can take out the sim card
r u able 2 put a t mobile sim card in there?
thts my question 4 u since u know 4 a FACT tht u can take out the sim card
you must not have an iphone huh?.
duh, there is a small hole at the top of the fone and inside the box that the iphone came in has the little pen thingy where you can open the sim card slot.
me and all my friends have an iphone so this is an FACT \. no idk if you can just randomly put an tmobile sim inside of the iphone. i think you have to go to the tmobile store and have that don becuz my dad did that and now he has tmobile service on his iphone
hey bro, I am trying to get an iphone 3gs on simplemobile, do you get 3G where available or does it only work on edge? Thanks! emaile me please dx7alex@aol.com
you can but you need to unlock the phone and get a PROFESSIONAL I REPEAT PROFESSINAL hacker to cut up the sim card without cutting the little metal parts and fit the sim card into the ttray and it should work GLAD I HELPED
You don't need a professional I did this at home on my first try. Just watch the youtube video that shows you how it is very simple.
yuh CAN its at the top

Yes I notices that but yet when I put in my tmobile sim it did not work it's not showing anything from tmobile bar can you help me with this situation please.
actually....i put my t-mobile sim card in an att iphone and it has all the old info still on it and none of my contacts, messages, pictures or anything load. so i don't know if you're 100% accurate just by pulling out your sim card.
hello i would like to know if i take the sim card out my htc inspire 4g to put in iphone 3gs i will have the same data plan
this is true my brother from another mother you can oull out sim card with a pin. ( :
tmobile and att are the only ones I think
So, I have T-mobile right now. I don't wanna switch to Attt or Verizon, but I would like an iphone. Can I unlock it to work for the iphone? If so can you please explain to me the steps.
actually if you go on apple.com you can see that it does hold a sim card and it comes with a sim ejector
At the time of the poster above, he would have been using the original iPhone. That version didn't come with a SIM slot opener thingy like the newer generations do. The SIM slot was sort of un-advertised in the original.
yes actually I have a first generation iphone, ive had it since the first month they were produced. Every iphone has a sim card tray!
yea you dont know crap of what you are talking about shut you mouth
Actually this is not true. I was able to do this. You have to make the SIM card a proper fit. Apple confirming you is not a reliable source because obviously they are not going to tell you that it is possible...DUH!
actually u can put a sim car in the iphone just not the 4g and u can use a papper clip to open them but if you are using any other carrier besides att u need to jailbrak it!! and i work at radioshack so i kno!
the your apple insider also confirm you're an idiot. cuz he sure as hell told me i am for posting this 4 years later.
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.
you said in the near futur hahaha, you need to search more, the first time I unloched my phone was 7 years ago.
So you unlocked your iPhone four years before it was even invented? That's pretty amazing. Time travel much?
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.
