does anyone know if this can be done? i'm curious, i've got a 1st gen iphone at 1.1.4 unlocked/jailbroken, but it's ATT. those apps sitting in itunes are killing me so i was wondering if anyone knows whether or not this is true...

Hi folks, we've updated the original article with new details, you can read it at the link below:

Yup this post is all true! I bought an iPhone 3G thats already activated from craigslist and I popped in my gophone sim card, restored the iphone (yup restored!) , and it activated!!! now i can use my iPhone 3G with a $20 unlimited data!!!

Any current At&T customer can buy an already-activated iPhone from ebay, craigslist, or from your friend and just put in your own at&t sim card and your good to go!!!! the iPhone isnt locked to a specific sim anymore, its just locked to at&t which is whats normal for carrier subsidized phones!!!

ok this really answered none of my questions... but... i kinda see it...

Only if 2.0 is pre activated
i see.... hmm gues im waitng for dev team

I am in Canada. Will Rogers Sim Card works as well because in the States, it is AT&T, but it becomes Rogers in Canada?

i got an at&t phone from the states before its uk release. been using it on o2 since aug 2007. if i updated to 2.0 would it accept my o2 sim or is it hardwired just to accept native (american) sims? is there anyway of changing the unit location (flash firmware to think its an o2 iphone)

Took the chip back to the 3G iPhone (it did not require reactivation) and now I am running a 2G cheaper data plan with my new 3G.

Can't escape the contract extension, but saves some $$$ over the long term.

Since you're paying the old $60 plan on the new iPhone. are you still getting 3G on it for free?

would this*** work?:
-purchase and activate a 3G iphone under my name
-put the 3G's SIM card in my old iphone, change the data plan back to $20/mo
-give the 3G iphone to my gf, she puts her old ATT SIM in the 3G and activates it via itunes, adding the 3G plan.



***-my gf and i are on an at&t family plan
-i have an original iphone, she does not
-i'm eligible for an upgrade ($199 3G iphone), she is not (she upgraded recently to another kind of phone)
-i want to buy her a 3G iphone using my upgrade discount

thanks in advance...

I want to know basically the same thing... my wife & I have a original & a 3G iPhone. Can I put the 3G sim into the original iPhone, activate the 3G sim with the old plan, and use it in the 3G iPhone? My old sim works in the 3G iPhone no problem, but I don't want to end up with 3 plans, or extra fee's. Has anyone tried this?

[noblepap]

So does this mean I can upgrade my 1G (jailbroken) iPhone through iTunes (to 2.0) with my regular (family plan) Cingular SIM in it and it will work without jailbreaking?

Again, noob here. Be kind.

Mmmm. Im thinking on how to save money on a long run and how to buy the iphone. What if I go to a apple store or ATT and buy two iphone with contract that will be $200 each and then a couple weeks later I say I lost them and they charge me with a penalty $175 each. Then next month I go to ATT and buy two new cheap 3g $40 each phone with a cheap family plan and take the simm card out and use it in the 3g iphone... How that sound?? Do it work?? What is wrong with this picture?? Any sugestion??

i had a blackjack 2 on att under my moms plan and i used to pay $50 a month for unlimited 3g data, like 300 rollover minutes a month, unlimited night and weekends, and 250 texts.

now i have a 3g iphone under my dad's plan and i pay $50 a month for unlimited 3g data, like 300 rollover minutes a month, unlimited night and weekends, and 250 texts.

when i pwned it, i sshed into it and checked the gprs settings plist to make sure it wasnt connecting to some new server att had created to deal with the new 3g trafik and find 3g iphone users who had tried to cheat them out of their money and i didnt find any differences so there shouldnt be anyway for att to find out that we're using a different data plan. however the way att determines what fone we have is by the imei number (when connected to the interent) so there is still a way for att to overcharge us.
