T-Mobile iPhone Carrier Update is NOW out

We jumped the gun last week and announced that the carrier update was out. It is now officially out. Just plug your iPhone into your computer and launch iTunes and you will see the message to update. You can also do it directly from your iPhone by going to Settings –> General –> About.

It will say: Carrier Settings Update New settings are available. Would you like to update them now.

Once you are finished installing the update you will see that your carrier is now T-Mobile 14.1. This update will enable LTE on the AT&T iPhone 5. Not the Verizon iPhone 5.

T-Mobile has started taking pre-orders for the newest model of the iPhone 5 that works on their network. Pricing options are as followed for the 16GB:

You can pay $99 down and then $20 each month for 24 months or you can purchase it outright for $579.99. Purchasing it through T-Mobile will save you $69, as Apple charges $649 for an officially unlocked 16GB iPhone 5.

After Years Of Waiting – T-Mobile Now Offers The iPhone

Today, T-Mobile held a press conference called the “Uncarrier” event in New York City and announced that they will offer the iPhone on their network now. You can purchase the iPhone 5 directly from T-Mobile starting April 12th. It will cost just $99 and then you pay $20 monthly for 24 months. You also have the option to purchase it outright at full price. T-Mobile is the only carrier to offer the iPhone with no contract, unlimited data, and a low upfront price. If you compare this to AT&T you will save $1000.

T-Mobile has supported unlocked iPhone’s on their network from the beginning, but has made major improvements to it’s network to offer all of the features. Previously you were limited to 2G data speeds and now you are able to receive 3G/4G data speeds in lots of areas. Not only has T-Mobile been refarming their network to support the iPhone but they have also been expanding it to support 4G LTE.

T-Mobile announced that they are moving very rapidly toward LTE. It will be in 90% of top 25 markets covering 200 million people covered by the end of the year with 100 million covered by midyear. Today, T-Mobile launched its state-of-the-art 4G LTE network in seven major metropolitan areas, including Baltimore; Houston; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Phoenix; San Jose, Calif.; and Washington, D.C.

Another neat feature that T-Mobile offers for the iPhone 5 is that they will be the only carrier with HD Voice on the iPhone 5 and if you are looking to save even more money, T-Mobile will offer the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S as well.

T-Mobile is the last of the major carriers to get the rights to the iPhone and finally the wait is over. Now we just need them to continue to improve their network!

After 2 Months, Apple Finally Offers Officially Unlocked iPhone 5′s in the US

It has been over 2 months and finally Apple has finally begun selling officially unlocked iPhone 5′s. This is the GSM model, which is basically the same as the AT&T model, but is factory unlocked and ready to be used worldwide on any GSM network.

Apple’s supply of the iPhone 5 has been strained since the launch and availability has finally dropped down to around 1 week on all iPhone 5 models.

The unlocked iPhone only works on supported GSM networks, such as AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S. When you travel internationally, you can also use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5 from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5 will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.

T-Mobile USA subscribers can now get their hands on an iPhone 5 officially unlocked direct from Apple.
