blurred wants to make jump to smart iphone-simplemobile?

**Blurred** · 11-01-2011, 02:46 PM

So I've been holding out on getting an Iphone because of the ridiculous cost per month.

Lost my phone yesterday, so I'm in need of a new one.

Best plan I've found is through simplemobile. $60 unlimited everything. My understanding is that simplemobile uses Tmobiles network. Tmobile works good enough in my area.

Anyone know what I need to do to get an iphone working on this network? (tmobile iphone) Jailbreak etc, but how do I program phone? Is it sim card? Does it need to be swapped out? Does anyone have a older 3G Iphone they want to sell me for cheap?

iPhone is fun. A perfect communication device that basically never freezes. The droids freeze up and you have to re-boot, even to make a call. iPhone will not do that for calls, a rouge app might have to be re-installed, but that is it.

The other, no clue. Verizon rocks.

Droid works better for people who refer to themselves in the third person.

How does the droid work for people like you whose mouth doubles as a cock holster?

Please. The preferred nomenclature is dong wallet

They have the directions on their website but say it is not supported. http://www.mysimplemobile.com/phones...programmingtab

The iPhone has a sim card in it but I don't think it is user accessible.

This would be correct. People who use Tech Talk for cars and phones and shit are unclear on the concept.

I have a 1st gen droid I could send you if you want it, it's pretty beat up but it works. Buy me a beer sometime. Only if you'll use it though.

edit: I'm away from where it is for a week, you might not want to wait that long, let me know.

No clue on the droid phones either. Never had mine freeze once.

But what would you expect from someone who puts makeup on their phone?

Just showing you how to do it man, "Navy" is noticeable. If you do it in black you can't see it, especially if you use dots/periods "...." to fill up the spaces.

But go ahead and be defensive and aggressive when someone's trying to help you, it's how you roll I guess.

Heh. Would you look at that.... Nice to see that 18k can actually teach you a few things. (otherwise it'd just be a colossal waste of time)

The biggest problem with the carriers that rent space from tmobile, verizon, and at&t is dropped calls. If a tower reaches capacity the leasers get kicked off before the owner of the tower. I decided that dropping calls (even occasionally) wasn't worth the minimal savings to go with one of the smaller carriers.

Yeah like I said, the dots work best.

ditto. toast2266 will use black ellipses to fill space in the future.

iPhone will take some getting used to but in the end, you will be VERY happy you went that route.

Iphone is every bit as good/bad as everything else. My iphones freeze, crash, etc. at about the same rate as the the Android based phones I've owned. Go with whichever feels the most intuitive, unless you want a phone that talks to you like a GPS device from 1999, then go with the iphone

Old Droid has basically never frozen after several years--apps have frozen (or refused to close) a few times (very rarely), but that's it.

But I agree simplemobile sounds good for Brett--extremely, stupid simple might be best for a guy like him.
