Default iPhone 3G and T-Mobile

How do I get my iPhone 3G to work with T-Mobile? I know that I have to unlock it and I can do that, but I don't know about these "SIM cards" or anything like that. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Just get a T-Mobile plan, and they will send you a sim card. Jailbreak your iPhone and plug in the SIM from T-Mobile and you're good to go!

Yea sadly you will be using straight 2G, which kinda defeats the purpose of the iPhone is some way.

you use the sim removal tool that came with your phone and you stick it in the small hole in the top of the phone and the sim tray will pop out then you put the new sim in and thats all she wrote.

WiFi internet will be better than 2G, hopefully.

Yes you have to jailbreak it.

There is a little hole at the top of the iPhone, stick a paper clip in it and the SIM Card tray will pop out.
