    I purchased a iPhone 3gs from a third party on Amazon. The phone was unlocked by AT&T and it works as a phone. I cannot use Safari nor can I receive aol e-mail. I was able to download the Facebook app from the apps store. I used the apn settings in this message but Safari still does not work. I also called T-Mobile and asked that my number 214-906-2555 be “linked” to an iPhone.
