They already have a "dumb" cell phone, (Samsung/T-Mobile) but it's designed so poorly they can't reliably figure out how to use it. They liked the 4S I showed them, so I just wanted to give it a try. Could I possibly put their T-Mobile SIM card into a 4S? Will that "just work" (I think I tried it before and it didn't) or are there some shenanigans I'd have to go through to do it? Not really into jailbreaking... _______________________________________________ iPhone-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/iphone-talk
