This worked perfectly for me, thanks. Customer service told me I needed a new microsim. I went to the At&T store where they gave we one for free and transferred the contacts

How is the StraightTalk cell service? How is the web service? Is it slow, do you get calls cut off?

Firest of all, AT&T sucks, overcharge and have customer no service. I spent 3 days trying to speak to someone this week and only got the runaround and automated answers, which never addressed the issue……..They are so big, they don’t care . I have no problem in screwing them if I get a chance. They have screwed us for years.!!

Everyone knows that At&T make their money on packaging in ANY form. that is why the phones are much cheaper if you buy them on a contract. The deal about that is, you are Locked in their web from 1-2 years… If you are buying a data plan as well as your pay as you go phone; IT IS NOT STEALING. You are simply changing a default problem with a phone manufacturer. That is even set up for the large providers to get you within their grip. Trust me, THEY ARE MAKING MONEY! This is just a step to protect you from their full control. Come on guys; this isn’t rocket science. It should be as clear as the brightest day, to know that an AT&T agent would actually LIE to tell you that this cannot be done. Why the lies and what are they hiding!!? I have a regular service through AT&T and it is ridiculous. I want to thank you guys for helping the under dog from the mass corporate monopolies that are as bad as the banking systems that robbed us all during the bail out. It is the little man that works two jobs just to eat and make ends meet, that are getting abused by these people. Everyone knows that the percentages of the poor out weigh they rich; and also the ones who are paying for ANY TIME PLAN AT ALL!! WHO DOESN’T HAVE A CELL PHONE THESE DAYS?

[...] sense to buy an iPhone within a standard two-year agreement. Unlocked iPhones can be set up as pay-go and as prepaid phones in the USA, though the process is unofficially supported by AT&T and you [...]

i was wondering if that new 65$ plan let the data work on iphon? is it supposed to or no? oh and to answer your question, you moght be able to convince them that tou made a mistake, when tou call them tell them you picked the wrong plan and i bet they will transfer the plan that you want, and being that its the same price it should be ok !

AT&T prepaid just came out with a $65 per month unlimited talk/text & 1 gig of data. I just changed over my plan & am no longer getting data on my iphone 4. If I go back to the $50 unlimited talk/text plus $15 for 200kb of data I will have to pay all over again. I am hesitant to all AT&T because they will ask wha kind of phone I am using as a prepaid. Any suggestions?

Yes, your current phone will work fine. AT&T will even switch you to GoPhone at your request if you ask them to when your contract is up.

No, a jailbreak is not needed.

An iPhone locked to AT&T will work fine for a prepaid AT&T plan. This also includes plans that operate on AT&T network like H2O and Airvoice. You only need an unlocked phone if you want to use it on T-Mobile’s network.

If i want to do prepaid, does the phone have to be factory unlocked or i can just buy one locked to AT&T?

So I went out and bought a cheap go phone-put the sim card in my old iphone. Phone works and texting works. My only problem is that when I make calls from this old iphone the go phone number comes up as blocked on other cell phones. Why is the number coming up blocked??

So did you not have to jailbreak your iphone to get this to work
