Using Pre-paid Service on iPhone 3G (no hacks)

Heres a video gavargas and I made showing how I used a GoPhone SIM card on my 3G iPhone for making/receiving calls, plus using the 3G network for internet browsing with the GoPhone pre-paid service. This was done without doing any hacks to the 3G ver of the iPhone.

Details:

+iPhone EDGE ver - has been jailbreak with pwned, uses GoPhone pre-paid service

+iPhone 3G ver - has no hacks, it's activated with AT&T, runs ver 2.0 (5A345)


Contrary to what AT&T says you can use any of their pre-paid services for both calls and data without doing any hacks.

Feel free to axe questions. And if you can beat out an actual tech that has seen all the insider shit, tricks, and other crap that we can do in our centers, go for it. But I'm only off that gig 3 months so my base of knowledge ain't the Dead Sea Scrolls.

they make you buy weird increments so there's always money left over to pick up calls for $1/ day (if you answer) and if you have made a call or answered that day, the unlimited AT&T thing still works. I just find a wi-fi spot and use iCall. It's an official VOIP app. It restricts free calls to 5 mins. But who the fuck can't get something simple done in 5 minutes? And unlike other VOIP apps, you can also use it on the computer and it never stops giving the free calls away like Vonage or Skype.

For 9 months I got unlimited data with that fucking thing because they had no idea that GoPhone SIMs in iPhones gave you unlimited data. They fixed it and no jail breaking, APN settings change or patch that I've seen yet, gives you the 3G icon up next to the service bars w/o getting a data plan. Still cheaper than their horseshit contract. $20/mo for unlimited text, $20/month if you want to go all the way to Unlimited Data, and if you hate talking on a phone like I do,

Sometimes you just need to start running Blackra1n, 5-10 seconds later you unplug the device from USB, let it finish rebooting and blam, you get the Globe screen that says phone activated and there you go. Occasionally you just have to hard reset it, or give a minute and it'll jog it out of the slumber, but you don't have to actually finish the Blackra1n jailbreak. You will not get access to 3G unless you buy a data package now.

After it's done Restoring, it should say "Phone is Activated on the phone and then you can restore from a backup to get your shit in there, but keep it at iTunes 9.x because if you use iTunes 10.x you end up w/ iOS 4 at the end of it. I use iTunes 9.2.1 personally. You may have to unplug it from USB and replug it to get the Recovery Screen to go away.

iTunes recognizes the fact that it's in recovery mode. Download an .ipsw file with the version you want, but NOT ACTIVATED, ACTIVATED hacks are for other carrier SIMs. I put my activated GoPhone SIM into the SIM tray. In iTunes you can only restore. You want your special custom 3.1.3 *.ipsw file to load, so hold the shift key while click on iTunes' Restore button and it will allow you to pick that specific .ipsw file. Run the Restore with it.

Former Apple iPhone Tech here: These fuckers make it seem like robbing a bank.

My 3G is set up just like this. I ran iTunes (depending on what OS version you want and I don't recommend 4.x for any 3G, iOS4 was designed for a phone with 4 times the processing speed and 4x the RAM. Stay with 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 if you have half a brain). I put the fuckin' phone into recovery mode.
