Can an unlocked iPhone 4s work without any issues on simple mobile carrier?

I'm thinking of buying an iPhone 4s unlocked to use on Simple mobile carrier which they allow iPhones to be used on their not work but don't support it as stated on their website. Giving that it's an unlocked iPhone, all I would need is a Simple mobile sim card and I'm good to go but my question is.... will all features work? It would suck if I bought it at full price just to find out some features may not work on the unsupported network. It would defeat the purpose of having an unlocked iPhone if I can't use it on any GMS carrier.

iPhone 4, iOS 5

You should ask the intended carrier. I use tmobile when I am in the US and not all features work but they did tell me this when I purchased their Sim card. With the carrier I use at home all features work well but I know other carriers at home who do not provide Visual Voice Mail or Hotsport services.

I have an iPhone 4S (at&T) working with RedPocket network wich is the same coverage than at&t but prepay, it works perfectly but the MMS feature works only if you Jailbreak your iPhone and this can get done easy, free and quick if you look for it on YouTube. Actually the 4G works so the phone is super fast and for only $60/mo is a great deal!!🙂

Simple uses the T-Mobile network, Since the iPhone 4S doesn't support the 1700Mhz band, data will only be provided at 2G (EDGE) speeds (really slow). Visual voice mail will probably not be avaiable.
