Default AT&T is the one....the ONLY one!

If you have iPhones, you have AT&T. They are the only providers for the iPhone in the US. However, if you can unlock your phone, you can get it to work on T-Mobile. The issue with the iPhone is a technical issue. The iPhone only works on GSM networks and only AT&T and T-Mobile have those networks. Verizon has a CDMA network, so the iPhone will not work on their network, no matter what you do.

I also have an iPhone, but I'm living in Germany at the moment. T-Mobile is the provider here, but they have a fantastic network in Europe.

Hopefully, that will change in the future, but I'm holding my breath. Apple just announced the iPad and it too is on the AT&T network...
