AT&T PAYG (Pay As You Go) Questions

[agentdax5]

Is this still able to be done with a unlocked iPhone? Could I just buy one of the AT&T PAYG phones from a store, activate it with AT&T and then swap the SIM out and put it in the iPhone?

Thanks

Yes, or you could just buy an AT&T sim. I use a prepaid T-Mobile sim that I purchased from Ebay. It already had a number and 150 minutes time. Just plugged it into the iphone and was off and running. Since then I just add more minutes when needed.

Do all the applications that use the Internet work?
Like youtube safari and the others.
Also, I was wondering about how much it costs to use these Internet applications.
Like how much are the rates?
Sorry for all the questions I own an iPod Touch and plan to sell it and buy an iPhone unlock it and use an at&t prepaid phone sim card with it.

Thanks

That's what I did with my iPhone, Pay as you Go, except I din't use it for any calls-just for edge data for the phone. Everything worked fine on this and only cost $19.99 a month with AT&T.

But make sure you get the Prepaid internet/data for 19.99/mo and not the regular voice Prepaid, which is what I did and whenever I used the internet, checked mail, or used the weather or stocks app it really ate up my credit on my account fast! I mean I went through $45 in 3 days and that wasn't even much surfing around.

I use a prepaid in mine and I buy a refill card for about $27 every 3 months. I use the prepaid because I only use the phone when I'm not at home and basically use it in the car. I don't spend a lot of time on the phone which is why I use the prepaid. Just "hello, I'm on my way, goodbye". "Hello, I'm gonna be a bit late, goodbye". That kind of stuff.
I disabled the Edge so I wouldn't get any big bills and I live in the city so if I really need the wifil, I could find a hotspot or an open network easy enough.
I had the go phone for a couple of years but when I saw that you could unlock the iphone and use it for not just a phone, but also a hand held pc, and an mp3 player, I jumped and haven't looked back!
