internet with tmobile

[androidfine16]

Hey guys someone offered me a samsung captivate for 50 bucks n it looked nice but its At&t and im a tmobile user ..................so even if unlocked the highest speed internet i can get without wifi is only 2g and edge right...........

P.s will that be enough for facebook/netflix?
thanks in advance

Edge is what u will get.

Facebook....yep, but probably really slow.
Netflix...i would say nope, because of the slow data transfer speed.

But in the end, it is whatever u r willing to tolerate.

As he said very slow. I used my captivate on Walmart family mobile which is powered by T-Mobile and it made me want to gouge my eyes out it was so slow... But they did throttle data speeds on that plan so you might have better luck.

Also if you decide to try it anyway and are a brave soul when it comes to tinkering there is a thread somewhere in here on a DIY unlock for the captivate. I can verify that it works as I've done it myself but I suggest backing up your efs folder first.

I have the thread bookmarked on my PC so I could link it for you later if you're interested.

Will the recent refarming of their network help us out like the iPhone users that have also been stuck on EDGE?

I'm going ahead and picking up a Vibrant pretty cheap tonight so I don't have to worry about it. Who knows how long it may be before everything is 3G? My Cappy can be a backup.
