    Unlocked means it will work with most Service providers
    (cingular/att/t-mobile) as long as your service provider uses sim cards sim cards are the little chips under the battery.... as for downloading stuff yes it should work ...

    i know the phone will work for things such as phone calls, but i am wondering if i would be able to download ringtones or games for example.

    A full unlocked phone will work on any GSM network as stated above. Once the phone has been activated on the T-Mobile Network, you should be able to download anything you want that T-Mobile has to offer.

    To add to Boss' post and so there's no confusion, the unlocked handset must be a GSM phone as well and must also have the appropriate bands i.e. 850, 900, 1800, 1900 in order to work with the GSM network of choice, so for example if you have a GSM handset that's only dual band 900 & 1800 band, it will not work on T-Mobile's network which runs on the 1900 mHz band.


    @ jennzenn

    if you get a handset that's not T-Mobile branded, you will need to configure the handset in order to be able to use the phone's browser for downloading your games & ringtones as well as for text/pic messaging.
