my brother and sister in law live in germany. i see that tmobile over there has the iphone4. i am on tmobile...is it cheaper to buy an iphone from there and have it sent to here, cut down my sim and use it on tmobile USA?
That's not really true. T-MO USA is the only carrier in the US that has the same bands as in Europe. My previous phone was a Nexus One bought from the US from T-Mo and it worked perfectly here in Europe. So it should work the other way around.
You need to do your homework lorin.bute. The iPhone 4 doesn't support the 1700 MHz band, which is what T-Mobile in the States uses for 3G. They support the 2100 Mhz band, but that's just one side of the equation. Try again.
