Hey all. I would like to throw out some info out there for anybody wanting to use a Iphone with at&t and want away from the contract and there prices. I was with at&t for 8 years back to the cingular days. And decided to go the pay as you go route instead of a contract.
So here are the details
Iphone 3GS locked from AT&T on 4.3.3
There are rumors a AT&T gophone sim is $25 which is untrue. Went to a at&t store and got a free one.
Went home and setup my gophone account for $2 a day unlimited talk and text, $60 a month.
Bought a 200MB data plan for $15.
Phone is up and running. At no time was the phones serial number mentioned or asked. But no visual voicemail or data working.
Went after some google research and found Unlockit - APN Changer for your iPhone which after joining a wifi connection and going to this website and choosing your carrier at&t or any other carrier to modify the phones APN settings which are below. on ios 4.x don't allow you to modify them manually so this website does it all and installs it within 20 seconds.
APN: wap.cingular
Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
These are the APN settings for the official at&t iphone data plan. So now for $75 total I'm operating my iphone on at&t pay as you go with talk, text and data. Haven't gotten to the route of MMS or visual voicemail yet. I'll do some research and work on that too. I'm sure with enough research or maybe even someone on here could figure it out.
So I hope this little write up informs or helps a few guys out there. So many people have told me I couldn't use a iphone on pay as you go. Have to pay $25 for a sim card, can't get data even if it works, you have to put in a fake imei number, etc etc. So I'm a happy guy.
Guys who do jailbreak on 4.3.3, you need to jailbreak before you modify the apn settings since the new jailbreak installs a new ipsw.
