Unlocked Iphone 3G for USA T-mobile users. 3G service fee?

I'm planning to get an iphone 3G and planning to unlock it then use it for my T-mobile service in USA. I heard that for AT&T customers, in order for them to use 3G services, they will need to pay extra fee per month. i was just wondering if this is a same case for T-mobile service. because i think razor 2 is 3G and there is no additional fee of using it. let me know if you have any ideas about 3G service with T-mobile.

Best Answer
I'm not sure if T-Mobile has developed their 3G networked yet.
I heard they just won for the 2100 and 1700 3G spectrum and is starting to build towers for it.
Their 3G might not be on yet
If your T-Mobile plan includes unlimited data, then you have absolutely no problem. The only problem would be if you DIDN'T have unlimited data included, in which you would have to pay per kilobyte, which is ludicrously expensive.
Simply make sure that you have the unlimited plan from T-Mobile, and you should be set.
If you manage to do this, which i don't advise, then it should work. T-mobile does not have 3g service in the united states like At&t does. the only way you will be able to use it on 3g would be to switch to At&T

I'm pretty sure T-Mobile 3G's only out in New York City right now, we keep seeing announcements about it being rolled out "later this year as part of our Big 5 Goal" (blah blah etc) but that's pretty vague. It doesn't cost any more at this point, as far as I recall.
not possible. you cant walk out of the store with phone in hand without signing a 2year contract with AT&T and you wont be able to purchase the phone online either.
