Dane, go to an ATT store and tell them you lost your phone, and you only need the SIM card (because you already have a phone) but do not mention the Iphone. The SIM card if is your first time replacing it, you will pay nothing, and with this SIM your Iphone will work. It worked for me!

I already had a gophone account, bought a used iphone 3G, and a G3 sim card from ebay (I read that the cingular card in the gophone was problematic). Got the new sim card activated on my existing account (I told them I lost the old phone). I gave them the IMEI number from the old phone Put the sim card in the iphone…and nothing “No Service”. Just to check that the new sim card was activated, I put it back in the old phone to check that it works and it does. What am I doing wrong?

My friend is giving me her old iphone. Its not activated. I was wondering if i could pop my “unmarried” go phone sim card in there and it would work? Would it? Plus, i only spend 25 dollars a month on my phone. $20 for unlimited text and $5 for calling. Would that aldo work in the iphone that im getting, or do i need to get a gophone media package. PLEASE PLEASE RESPOND!! Thanks.

Matt, how long ago were you able to do this? When you say activate with the other phones imie, do you mean online? Also how did you add the data plan, when i look online it’s locked out?

I got around this with my Iphone. Buy 2 of the same gophones. Go online to activate at ATT. Activate the sims card from the 1st using the 2nd phones EMIE. This way the card won’t be locked or “married” to the phone that it was package with. [ I bought the 1st phone authorized it the card, using the its EMIE turned it on, took out the card and it didn't work in the Iphone only in the gophone. Found out that it was married to the phone, essentially the sims was locked for 180 days or something stupid. So I purchased a second one. ] With the second I first tried to authorize it with my Iphone EMIE but it didn’t work (it said call error occurred call customer service…lol ..screw that), and so tried it using the EMIE from the 1st gophone that I had already activated ( ie…the one it wasn’t package with, I figured they’re both the same brand, model , why would ATT care about that) The authorization went through, so I popped the sims card out of the plastic credit card looking thing and straight into the Iphone (note … it never touched the gophone, its first use of service was the Iphone)…bam… 4 bars ATT logo and a 3G. I found out I lost the “15 start up minutes” that came with the phone because I didn’t use the original packaged phone to authorized (If you read the fine print, its in there and says when activated the sims won‘t function on antoher phone for a period of time…screw that…), so I put 30.00 in the account, got the data plan (19.99) and the 1 a day 0.10 minute plan…works great…

I’ve been keeping an eye on my data plan.. I noticed my bill data is 500000kb a month and this is what you want to keep an eye on even though my phone says I move close to 85 to 95 mg….I’m in WIFI a lot because of home and University settings but I knew I was drastically under there fake unlimited plan ( which is really 5 gb).

I’d say just buy one from the store and copy the EMIE from another package because there next to the sku number, but when I purchased mine at check out is, its was electronically registered or something (something like authorizing, or activating came up on the register, even the Target employee commented that it scanned they scan differently)
