Can I get the Go Phone SIM card off ebay, will that work? Then, purchase the $50.00 prepaid unlimited plan for Go Phone. I have a 3gs that has been collecting dust for a while and I'm thinking about trying this out.
Will this still work and do you think it wuold work on a Android 4g device? Pls test do a vid where you stick you sim a 4G to see if it work and if you even get 4g
I'm thinking of buying an iphone 3g from ebay. If I did this or something similar with my iphone using a normal At&t contract phones sim card, would I be able to use the iphone for calling/texting/pic messages/etc, and be able to use wireless for my apps, etc without a data plan? Sorry for such a complicated question, Thanks for the help!
@failurejosh It would work, but AT&T would detect that you are using an iPhone on a contract plan an automatically charge you for a data plan. I only recommend doing this with a GoPhone sim.
@WindowsReview Thanks for the quick reply. Is there anyway to change it so they don't detect that its an iPhone? Really want an iPhone but can't afford the huge monthly bill. Thanks a lot
@failurejosh Unfortunately no, their systems will detect it. I know someone who goes into an AT&T store and argues with them every month that he is not using an iphone (he puts the sim card back in his old phone when he visits the store), he was able to get them to reverse the charges for a few months, but now they know hes using an iPhone and refuse to reverse anything anymore.
So i can go buy a used att iphone 4, get a gophone with a data plan and activate that, and take the sim and put it into the iphone and i should be all set?
hey, i just got an Gophone plan with Samsung SGH-A177!
So I called At&t, to activated the phone. so, well i talked to representive and said to wait 4 days till the phone can be use.. and it came with the Lock Sim Card! i post it up a Video so can see what happends! and wondering if i can use the iphone 4G on GoPhone! or i have to buy a SIM card From ebay like those people do to make it easier to use.
@rickdog141 You might need to go into an AT&T store and say that you need a new sim for an old phone. Tell them that your current gophone sim isn't working and this is an AT&T old phone. (don't mention iPhone). The service will work with a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone, but the iPhone does not need to be jailbroken or unlocked for it to work as I demonstrated in this video by activating the iPhone with the goPhone sim.
@WindowsReview damn like okay like how does the 100mb data work like does it run out and i cant use it or like is that the set limit or something? cause for that i can go with the tmobile even more plus plan with unlimited talk and text for 60 bucks
im tempted to do this but i think i can just wait until january to see if there anything close to a verizon iphone. or get the new ipod touch coming out soon.
work on iphone 4?

@windowsreview I'd like to hear what you have to say.
I have an activated gophone sim w/ $50.00 on it And I want to use it with my iPhone 3GS
But I know it's locked to the gophone but if I go to AT&T and get a new one will they transfer the 50.00 to the new sim?
