Depends on what you mean by support, could you ring them up and ask questions about it, No, will it work on their network, Yes

bikepilot · 12-29-2006, 12:13 PM

I mean will they support it bye. Will a unlocked version work on t-zone or the their internet. And how about with sms, mms.

TazUk · 12-29-2006, 01:27 PM

Yes as there are 680 owners on T-Mobile who are able to do all those things

seems like t-mobile is dedicated to the blackberry products...just my opinion

T-mobile is dedicated to money like the rest of them and getting into the bidding war with Cingular is apparently not part of their plan. If they could make significant money selling treos I'm sure they would do so. Obviously someone figured out that selling Blackberry's is more lucrative.

Besides, the Treo's work fine on their system since GSM is an open system anyway. They don't loose much by NOT giving rebates to users. Heck, I'm still with them because they are SO MUCH cheaper than Cingular and I'm sure they know that is the case with lots of users.

That's why I'm still with T-mobile...much cheaper and more reliable in my experience.

I have a Treo 600 (bought unlocked from Amazon 2 years ago) that I use with T-Mobile, but want to upgrade to a new model. I understand that the 700p will not work with T-Mobile as it is not GSM. Which of the Treo models are available unlocked that would work with T-mobile? And where can you buy them? Thanks.

any gsm treo will work on t-mo. that means the 600, 650, 680 and 750 will work on t-mo's network if they have been truly unlocked. ebay would probably be your best bet for these phones. i'm sure they can also be found on similar sites.

Both the 680 and the 750 can be purchased unlocked directly through palm, and can be used with T-Mobile.
