For what it's worth, Virgin Mobile said the same thing. T-Mobile here I come.

There was no error message that this was a problem. It just redrew the page and asked for my zip again. This doesn't boad well for the company if they can't hire programmers or admins that can plan for load or even code a site right. I've never seen them in my area, so I'm guessing they're not in SF. I hope this pushes other providers to stop thinking of us as revenue streams, but I doubt it. The Cricket coverage map site took about 5 minutes load, then didn’t accept my Zip code.

As of April 2012 AT&T blocks data access in the PAYG smart-phones unless the user subscribes to a monthly plan, being $30 ($25 voice + $5 data) the least expensive one. Matt,

When I buy a pre-pay iPhone I can top-up by 10 euro per year! Who needs a "plan" when you have wifi everywhere! Fortunately I don’t live in USA.

Hopefully this will create some downward price pressure on the industry. Would be great if they had 4G in my area. Hopefully this will create some downward price pressure on the industry.
