iphone sim to go phone...will it work

[smoedog]

so my iphone is broke. im in puerto rico right now and was gonna wait till i got home to get a new phone. but i found out im staying here another month.

so can i go and get some cheap pre-paid att phone and throw my sim card in it and use that for a month?

or will they see a regular plan sim card in a pre-paid phone and block it?

no data you might as well use a $5 nokia all you can do is make calls without wifi

Simple: Get any phone that works on GSM, put SIM in it. Call AT&T and have them take off the data for the time being, so you are not charged for it. It's not illegal...

It works like a charm! I've done it several times when my phone was having issues. I keep a go phone handy as a backup around the house.
