Default At&t

i was checking t-mobile services and comparing them to AT&T. i also checked which one is more reliable. everyone's saying how much cheaper t-mobile is, but since AT&T is more reliable i checked out what i could make of it.

would this work normally?

i picked that phone just because it was free. i would take the sim out and put it in my iphone.

I'm not quite sure what your question is. Are you asking if you can use a T-Mobile SIM in an iPhone and disable the data plan?

no. that's an at&t plan. and you know how you pay like 80 dollars for an at&t plan, well i set up this plan with them and i wanted to know if it would work because i think the reason why it costs so much is because of the more minutes they add on the plan by default. get what i'm saying?

I think it's completely inaccurate to pan one provider over another with a blanket statement such as "more reliable", "better", etc. It depends on TONS of factors. For instance, T-Mobile 3G here in the DC area BLOWS AWAY AT&T's 3G here, in terms of speed. Calls are dropped more on AT&T than T-Mobile. Depends on many factors.

okay so which should i get? would i just check the coverage. i think both work very well around my area, but the prices are different of course. with the t-mobile plan that would work, it's about 65 a month and if the one i posted works for at&t then that's about the same. hmmm.... i'm tempted to go with t-mobile (web2go, right?) because it's 4 dollars cheaper, but which is better in your opinion?
