. . .hope this isn't a duplicate post. . .looks like AT&T allows unlimited data for prepaid/smartphone customers. . .should work with unlocked iPhone. . .?
Savvy users can now, with minor changes, use any unlocked GSM or UMTS phone, smartphone (including iPhone), PDA, or aircard as a data device… without paying any monthly voice fee. iPhone users can bypass the $50 GoPhone plan. existing GoPhone Pick Your Plan customers can switch to Pay As You Go service and also benefit from the new offering. Simply call AT&T Customer Service to switch your account over. (credit to phonenews for this info) Previously, GoPhone Pay As You Go offered feature packs, which allowed for adding 1 MB or 5 MB of data for $4.99 and $9.99, respectively. When the data was used up, a customer could call back to 611 and re-add the data package. Unused data would roll over from month to month, provided the customer re-purchased the add-on. Now AT&T has added to that offering with a new package: Unlimited MEdia Net for Pay As You Go plans. For $19.99/month (same as Unlimited MEdia Net on other plans), customers can use MEdia Net service without paying any monthly airtime charge. All a customer has to do, is call 611 at the start of every month to have the automated system re-add the Feature Pack to the account.
