T-Mobile is Enabling 3G for Unlocked iPhones in Certain Areas

T-Mobile is enabling 3G access for unlocked iPhones in certain areas of the country as part of its 84Mbps upgrade, reports Electronista.

Multiple reports have emerged of T-Mobile switching on 3G for frequencies that existing unlocked iPhones and other devices can use. At least some parts of Nevada and some parts of Northern California and the Northwest are seeing 1,900MHz repurposed to be used as additional carrying space for the HSPA+ 84Mbps network anticipated for 2012. Those who live in the altered areas are seeing speeds faster not just than they would on EDGE but faster than AT&T's real-world 3G, at 7.92Mbps down and 1.8Mbps up.

If you've noticed these higher speeds with T-Mobile, let others know in the comments.
