I have an iphone 4 with Pay as you go, but there is no unlimited plan show on the att website! Picked up a sim yesterday and after changing the profile it works fine on my iPhone4 factory unlocked. This is what I did. I popped it in my 3GS and i now have voice and text.
Im afraid of getting nailed with charges. I think the trick is to get a prepaid SIM that isnt tied to a phone. Hello, I have read all of the comments on here so far and they are very interesting. I have noticed that I do get service in certain areas. Are there any suggestions???
I was wondering if it was possible to take an iPhone and run it on a different brand, like net10? If you replace the iPhone sim card with the sim card from the net10 phone will it work with net 10? Forgot to ask about paygo plans.
I need unlimited talk,text. I have wifi at home I would love to turn off home Internet as would be able to use on iPhone if better deal I have no wifi at work or other places I go. I use pandora at work all day. What is the best plan if only need Internet at work and maybe for facebook, gps or somethng similar?
Pay as you go on the road. A great combo thus far. I did these exact steps after getting fed up trying to figure out the whole jailbreaking thing and it worked perfectly. No complaints at all. This is how wireless should be. I just wish I could also easily pick the carrier by swapping out a SIM card. No, no jailbreaking needed.
Just activate the go phone using a normal phone, or the go phone it came with. Would these work with iphone 3GS? Would these work on the iphone 3GS? There are other plans, but they are not listed as smart phone. I have this exact setup with a 3GS and it works great. Also, iv you renew your data plan on one of the last days of the 30 day period, you keep any unused data. Are you talking like a day before the expiration? Two or three? Well, here are tweaks when you jailbreak a phone that youcan install like weather app on the status bar, it refreshes every minutes.
Even though is not a huge consumption of data, it still uses some. I followed the steps — purchased a cheap Go Phone with active service. Made one call to confirm service.
Swapped the Sim Card into an original IPhone. Did I miss a step? Have people really found pay as you go more economical? Did you get it yet? My old iPhone works fine as a prepaid. I jailbroke it so I can use the Internet and everything. If I remember correctly. Please respond to my email I need help because the data plan is just too expensive. Beware when using Internet with prepaid plN.
My gf is using an iPhone 3GS 16g 4. However, there has been lately several dollar taken fromher account for the use of internet. I told her to turn off edge and 3G And it was fine until she turned edge on and Internet was used and it sorta drained her balance.
Anyways, make surethat if u use internet, stick with wifi. Raph, How much did she put in her account? I would like to know how you guys were able to activate usage of 3g!
Be sure you are on a WiFi connection so you can access the web on your iPhone Using Safari on the newly setup prepaid iPhone, visit unlockit. Moon she did not purchase data package and I would not recommend it either because like I previously said she got charged randomly for internet usage. Just unlock your iphone and use tmobile! Depending on how many bars show for your iphone, Apps should download pretty fast.
Yes, u can. Just make sure you have enough money on your att prepaid account. I use an unlocked iphone on tmobile and download apps all the time! David chimed in on our past prepaid iPhone article to describe how he got his iPhone 4 setup with a pay-go plan by transferring sim cards with […]. The micro sim was the one that came with the unwrapped phone.
I agreed and line got transfered to new Micro Sim. How much does it cost you to be online via 3G. I have an unlocked 3G phone with a prepaid sim card MTN in it. Ok I have read over all 71 comments and I still have 1 question that seems to have gone unanswered..
If I go purchase an activated gophone sim and put it into the iphone…is my only option for data the mb plan??!! I only use the web for maybe facebook every now and then and google searches.. You have 90 days to use up those 6 days however u want. It does enable app downloading. Hi i have a first gen iphone unlocked and i activated my gophone with the sim and stuck it in my iphone, however its saying i have no service : please helpppppp.
Does this process also enable the use of apps—downloading and using? So far it works. The only thing i had her do is turn off 3G an Delilah data and just use wifi. You have to have celular data on to receive picture messages though… So nxt month ill have her turn on celular data and ser how it goes. Do i have to activate the card on another phone and then switch the card to my iphone? With a little fiddling around I even managed to get the data plan to work.
Can you elaborate on what u had to do to get the data plan to work? I even tried reinstalling with other US carriers. Thanks for any help u can offer! Travelling to USA. Then it should work. Apparently the go phone sim cards are locked to the phone for the first days. I called customer service and they unlocked it.
Now the phone works great. New question: When you enable data do you need a data package? If you will primarily use data in wifi spots but just want the ability to connect just in case while away from hot spots do you need to add a data package?
By the way, they sell the sim card already activated, so there is no need to activate it online or anything else. Hey Mario, just read that you bought an iPhone 4 without contract. Did they give you the Micro Sims or Normal Sims? Then I had to go through iTunes to activate it on the iPhone. Picked up a go phone and activated it a few days ago.
Used it while my used iphone was in the mail. I put the go phone sim in but no dice? The iphone says no service. How should I proceed? Can anyone please tell me what mb of data is good for? Like, how much could I use the internet on 3G? Does this also work on other prepaid plans? Will it still work on something like Tracfone?
Also i forgot to ask where does anyone recommend I can buy a new i phone and does it have to be unlocked sorry for all the lame questions ,thank you. My brother from Canada just gave me his iphone 4 unlocked. I have a really old prepaid sim card, bought it when it is still called Cingular, it is a 64k smart chip, do I need to purchase a new 3g sim card in order to work with the iphone? Hey i have a 3G iphone 8G had bought thre phone using another friends name service the bill got to out of hand sharing the plan got stuck with the phone do not want to get rid of it but can i buy a pay as you go 3G wireless that way i can still use my wireless on the phone and pay per month and not have to connect to any unlocked wireless network around me?
I am thinking of purchasing a friends iphone. He upgraded to a torch so I believe the iphone is off of his account. I would like to use it on att prepaid. My only question is what about activating it through itunes? Does this process bypass that? Thanks for your help! Luckily, my SIM is data enabled. I am looking at this to process credit cards. With pre paid is uning this to process credit cards at a remote site going to cost me a bunch of money? THANK you a ton for figuring this out.
I was going nuts. Is it actually unlimited, or is it gonna run out? Well I got it to work in my girlfriends iphone, but im having problems with mine. Then I would make sure you have the proper carrier file and settings. Ok so I thought it was because it was 3. I tried the APN thing but when I click create profile it says it cant create the profile. Its frustrating.
Have you found out if it is in fact unlimited data? Will At and t charge me for using the data doing it the way this article describes? Thanks Peter. And, yes, I have a brand new not-yet-activated sim card, and I understand I can activate it pretty easily. But can I activate it and give it my existing iPhone phone number? I think I am in the same situation. I have an iphone 3g at the end of its contract. I would like to keep the number on the iphone but switch to prepaid Go Phone minutes and worry about the data plan later.
I really want to keep my iPhone with the existing number. Anyone know an workable way to do that? I would be careful with sims from other prepaid phones. The sim cards are locked to the prepaid phone for 6 months. I activated the sim card online and had no problems. I have an iPhone that is out of contract but still in service, and want to take my existing phone number with me and do this. I would start there. It was hard to get them to do it. I had to go to two different stores until I found a cooperative store manager.
Yes, I did it. I have my original iPhone and I do mean the first generation! You really have to put the time into it. The period is part of the written word. You can find it on your keyboard. Try it.

My wife will be travelling to the US and will be there for a week, phone is a priority although dataplan would be nice. Any further suggestions? Yes that should work but you should get Skype as a backup since you can use Skype over WiFi if all else fails. I did a jb and unlock on my iPhone before taking it to Europe and just bought a local sim, worked fine. Hard to believe there is no pre-paid data plan on a SIM available in the biggest, richest, tech-famous country in the world.
Yes they sure do! Yes it does. You can go the walmart and it is back where the phones are. They are called Go phones.
