Visual Voice Mail is my favorite part of my iphone! Also why would you want to
put an iphone on T-Mobile their data sucks worse than EDGE. Find a way to get
3G! Now thats a hack people would want.

Is This Legal

Does anyone know if this company can legally sell the right to the hack they
discovered? I would think not... but I'm no lawyer.

Also, Does unlocking void the iPhone warranty?

Just curious. I can't say T-Mobile is that much better than AT&T, but if AT&T
becomes irritating it would be nice to have options.

I used to be a CSR for T-MOBILE until about six months before CINGULAR
switched to AT&T and they use the same network eventhough they are two
different companies. CINGULAR customers used to have to call T-MOBILE to
request sim unlock codes for overseas travel. They even use the same slow
edge internet technology, whitch is the main reason for purchasin the
IPHONE. If you scroll through the network settings on most AT&T or T-
MOBILE pone you can switch between AT&T's or T-MOBILE's network
withougt swtictching providers and you won't be charged unless your are out
of your service area. A real chalenge would be to use the IPHONE on VERISON
or SPRINT service or any local provider whos internet is fast than AT&T.
