Apple any Iphone (doesn't have to be unlocked or jailbroken)
Brand New ATT 3G Sim card (purchase from ebay)
ANY Imei # for a gsm phone (any old att phone should work)
Fill out the info ... you only really need is your simcard # and imei number then a valid email address. This Should take maybe about 5 minutes your simcard will be activated and you will also get your phone number.
*NOTE* to get $60 Unlimited Talk/Text you need to select the .25 Cent simple rate plan.
Step Two
Put the simcard in your iphone. If its stuck searching for network, turn off your phone and connect it to iTunes let it activate the phone.It took about a minute for me. If your having issues with the signal I suggest you restore to factory settings to get it work.
Step Three
Simply add $60 worth of airtime, call 611. Then just setup $60 Talk/Text it's going to be in feature packages.
FAQ
1. Will this Work?
It's working on my 3G iphone as we speak.
2. Can I just use a simcard from a GoPhone?
NO... I spoke with ATT and the rep told me, if you use simcard from a gophone that comes with bonus air time included it will be locked for that specific phone. Plus I was able to purchase my sim from ebay for $1.59 , dont buy it att please they will rip you off for $25.
3. Can I call ATT activate my simcard?
No just do it your self its pretty simple , plus I can't say that this will still work.
4. If I add extra money can I use the Data Pkg?
Yes but you need to sign up for a specific data pkg either $4.99 for 1mb or $19.99 for 100mb. You will need to go to website and make a Custom APN for it. http://www.unlockit.co.nz]Unlockit - APN Changer for your iPhone

Just activated the service following your instructions. Thanks for the info. Note: I was however able to go into the att store to activate a sim card (I just told them I had an unlocked phone at home). This saved me having to order the SIM card on ebay or paying the $25.00. They activated the sim card and I paid my first month ($60) upfront, and had no problems whatsoever.
Also, the web works great with the instruction you gave.
Just wanted to confirm what zman said.
Went into AT&T store. Told them i called online to get a new
SIM card to reactivate an old "go phone". Said the person on the
phone said i could just go into a store.
Paid $60 upfront for the Unlimited Talk/Txt. Left.
Re-set the iphone 3g i used before unlocked/jb with tmobile before an accidental restore to new baseband.
Put simcard in, resoted. And there you go. Working perfectly.
Now to see if there is a way to use data on this besides wi-fi...
Curious what the IPCC files do.. anyone know if there is a way to use the settings from my tmobile unlimited data account i have on my G1? Prob not, but you learn something new every day.
