Question
Will an AT&T phone work with my t-mobile sim card. I have a blackberry curve, and I can get an i-phone from a friend.
If not- how can I get out of my t-mobile contract?
If you get the AT&T phone SIM unlocked, your T-Mobile SIM will work with an AT&T phone. The iPhone will need to be SIM unlocked and jailbroken in order to use it. Only way out of your T-Mobile contract is to break it. The most you will pay is $200.00 (if you have less than 18 months left on your contract). Otherwise, it will be $100 or $50.00 based upon where you are in your agreement. In my opinion, it's worth it if you want to move to another carrier and already have a free phone. Just my opinion, of course. Jailbreaking an iPhone isn't free.
