iPhone 3G works with Go Phone out of box
Hi there! If you're new to the site, you may want to subscribe to the the feed.
When the iPhone 3G was first released, we went over a way to use it on prepaid. This was all just theoretical, though. As far as I understood, no one had really tried it yet — or at least hadn’t tried it and then written about it on the Internet. Thankfully, someone has finally publicized their experience. This comes from Erica at The Unofficial Apple Weblog. She popped a Go Phone SIM card into an iPhone 3G, and voila! No unsightly mess. No big clean-up. In her words:
“I did not pwn the iPhone. I did not unlock the iPhone. It. Just. Worked.”
Erica notes that you can take advantage of AT&T prepaid deals which can bring down the cost of the refill cards. For instance, you can nab certain refurbished Nokia phones with $100 of airtime for $80. You can then apply the $100 to your prepaid data plan, which costs $20 per month.
It’s good to know that this really does work. The only issue, of course, is getting an iPhone 3G without a contract.
