This is a discussion on All Prepay (GOPhone) Plan Prices Inside :) within the AT&T forums, part of the Wireless Carriers category; ...
hmmm so seems like you can do prepay then just not add funds and your iphone will be activated so you can use safari with wifi, ipod features etc... without having to pay for a plan course you will hve to use wifi for everything but this is great for people that just want a iphone for its other features
Can anyone confirm this? It seems like a way for non-US users to use the iPhone other than a phone?Originally Posted by SPCartmanLand
The way GoPhones work is you pay that charge in advance every month, without the ability to go over. It is not like the prepaid phones where you buy minutes and they're good for three months. You are automatically charged the MONTHLY rate, and dollar values accumulate, but when you cancel, they disappear. It's not a pay $20 now and it's good forever kind of thing.
well according to this you can do whatever just not make calls or use there network for data unless you add funds to your account
there is actually rollover minutes on the plan
They only rollover as long as you keep paying the monthly fee. When you tell cingular to stop charging you, that's it.
Yeah I chose to go with the gophone plan instead of giving AT&T 2years, and it's working out real good. I still have my tmobile account so everyone still contacts me through that phone, so i'm not wasting minutes on my iphone. The Gophone plan worked out better than i thought it would.

What I meant is that for those who are outside the US, and therefore do not have AT&T, if they want to use the iPhone as an expensive iPod and internet device with WiFi like me, we can enter all zeros for the SSN, then choose prepaid, and just not fund the account.
As a result, the activation is completed, we can use the iPhone as iPod and internet device (with WiFi), but no account to cancel because we have not funded it.
Correct?
Or do I still need to fund the account and supply the information (bank, credit card, etc) and then cancel the prepaid?
How does one cancel the prepaid anyway?
like i was saying above looks like to me it says if you do prepay the phone is activated even before you add the funds to the account if not it wouldnt say what features you could use etc without adding funds you know
