iPhone Unlocked, Accidently?
A reader sent me the following comment. I have no way of testing this myself, so take it for what it's worth. If anyone else can verify this process please contact me, or post a comment here immediately.
I accidently figured out how to unlock an iPhone for use without charge from AT&T, but with full support of the phones features including WiFi, but no AT&T service. Procedure: 1.) Obtain 2 iPhones 2.) Plug in iPhone #1 In iTunes select "I am a new AT&T Wireless Customer" and "Activate 2 or more phones on an individual or FamilyTalk Plan." 3.) Follow the steps for the FamilyTalk plan and enter "Cell Number X" to port a number over from another provider (e.g. Sprint) 4.) When the you receive the "Activation Complete" e-mail, plug in iPhone #2. 5.) Select the option "I am an existing AT&T (Cingular) wireless customer" and "Replace a phone on my account with this iPhone" 6.) Fill in the information re-using "Cell Number X." Allow the iPhone #2 to activate using this number. This number will be legit. 7.) Plug in iPhone #2, it will unlock the phone for use, but without a cell phone number assigned or account from AT&T. Disclaimer: I found this by sheer stupidity, as I plugged in the wrong phone during the activation processI accidently figured out how to unlock an iPhone for use without charge from AT&T, but with full support of the phones features including WiFi, but no AT&T service.

These are exciting times for us Europeans
AT&T has again screwed up its long-term customers. Although the same cell service is offered on the same cellular system, AT&T is refusing iphone service to existing "old AT&T" customers unless they pay an additional $130.00 a month. Apparently when the "New AT&T" bought Cingular it acquired Cingular billing system and all "old AT&T" customers must move to the new billing system at an additional $130 per month to be able to use the iphone.
Can AT&T say "Class Action" suit fast enough. I asked that to Todd Trask, an AT&T manager in charge of iphone activation, and he agreed that the billing system was the issue,
Again Corporate America is building us a Pinto. I never taught that Apple will be a part of that. Unless AT&T takes care of its long term customers, Steve Jobs should use that as an excuse to get out of the Apple-AT&T deal.
Someone at AT&T made a calculation that it was worth shafting long term customers in exchange of quick profits.
I hope that some of our Supreme Court justices read this and get a live effect of their decision last week to protect Big Business.
Any lawfirm out there that wants to file a class action suit, please email me.
Thank you
[...] was just reading my buddy Kent’s blog and read the story he posted of how someone “accidentally” unlocked the Apple iPhone. The procedure requires two iPhones, but seems fairly straightforward. However, after making this [...]
Is this about unlocking or activating the iphone? From the story it seems like the iphone would get activated, if that, but not unlocked. (even if it did work, would give me an iPod with Wifi?)
I don't think that really "unlocks" the phone. I went through a similar process with just a single iphone. I tried to switch an existing cingular account to iphone. The activation sure took 12 hrs. But my phone was ready to be used for other purposes almost immedaitely: i could sync music and contacts with itunes, play music, connect wifi and browse the web. etc.
so this one's a bummer
Victor, you are wrong. AT&T didn't buy Cingular. It's the other way around. Cingular bought AT&T to build the largest network in the country. Then, as a marketing ploy, and a smart one at that, they changed the company name to AT&T. Cingular (formerly SBC) has had a terrible reputation for bad customer service for years, and they are aware of it. They now use the AT&T name now to try and snow customers into believing they are AT&T subscribers and suddenly have good customer care.
Check it yourself. Try to call AT&T Care on a Saturday. No dice! AT&T was a 24/7 good service outfit. Cingular is crap. That's why there is a fee. The migration doesn't just involve the change to iPhone service. It involves a change to an entirely new provider and a change from TDMA to GSM coverage. It's not $130 a month, however. That is complete misinformation. There is a one-time migration fee. Then, the regular service plans apply. It still blows, but it's not at all as you suggest.
Oh!! you accidentally found found that? It is a deliberate hack though!! http://windows-mobiles.com/?p=74 got it all
Not quite Ned,
Cingular bought AT&T wireless from AT&T. Cingular kept using the "cingular name, with the commercials saying, "at&t is now the new cingular."
Then AT&T bought Cingular, and the commercials are, "cingular is now the new at&t."
That sounds awesome! But where do you enter Cell Number X. (like which box.) And what do u do when u get to the billing part. If you fill it out, you will have to pay for one of the phones.
PG and Ned, you both are close to right. Cingular was a separately created cellular service co-owned by SBC and BellSouth, who as you may know was spun out of AT&T years ago in the grand baby-bell break-up. AT&T was mainly a long distance company, but bought the assets of McCaw and Cellular One to create AT&T wireless. Cingular then bought AT&T wireless from AT&T leaving a dying brand with little assets other than old long distance trunks. SBC then bought the last remnants of AT&T, mainly to get the brand name, and started calling themselves, "The New At&T". They "New AT&T" or perhaps "The entity formerly known as SBC" then merged with BellSouth under the name AT&T, who as I told you above was the only other owner of Cingular. Since both co-owners of Cingular were now one and going by the name "AT&T", they decided to change the brand name of Cingular to AT&T, taking an example of American branding to new all time high on wasted money and resource.
So the "New AT&T" has very little to do with the old communications conglomerate that we knew, but can claim to be part of its origins long ago. It is effectively a well known brand name that was bought.
Not quite PG, Ned, and GK. Both AT&T and Cingular are BS companies. None of us really gives a ratz asss about them. AT&T is trying to make iPhone techies pay (a lot) just because they have a contract with Jobs. Jobs should've just left the iPhone unlocked because he would've sold more in the longrun. It's just a matter of time b4 it gets unlocked. So to AT&T-Thanks but no thanks
Actually, Cingular was a joint venture between Bell South and SBC. The joint venture acquired AT&T wireless back when AT&T was divesting everything in order to stay in business. Eventually SBC bought AT&T and used the branding to their advantage and later purchased Bell South. Cingular only became part of the at&t mismash when the Bell South acquisition was completed.

Ok, so here goes my 15 minutes in the spotlight. I have an iphone and I activated it with AT&T, and then I cancelled the contract a day later. I dont know if this is old news but the phone stays unlocked after being cancelled and you can use all the features except calling and sms. Once I cancelled the contract I just made sure to leave the ATT sim out so it wouldnt do something crazy to the phone such as lock it back up. I'm waiting for someone to come up with a crack so I can switch the unlocked phone to Tmobile, because ATT is really a joke.
There is a link from this site which purports to be able to unlock the iphone already http://www.iphonesunlocked.com
how do you access the sim chip thank you
Hey Victor - I am experiencing the identical problem with AT&T. We are known as "Blue Accounts". All TDMA versions were deactivated last month. The GSM versions stil operate properly but AT&T does not support any changes to the account. Check out this article I started which explains this in more detail -
http://www.my3cents.com/showReview.cgi?id=23832
Also, this is a thread where other blue account holders are discussing action -
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/iphone-faqs-for-current-att-customers-all-customers-eligible-for-iphone-272880.php
After you sync with itunes for the first time without completing the process and then you just have to press the power button for 3 minutes and then reset the phone by pressing power and single button for 15 sec.now u dont need to activate your phone but just sync it with a new computer with no number and all working well except phone etc.
did anyone actually get the iphone unlocked.. with the article about the needing 2 i phones to unblock one. but does it unlock the phone ? meaning can i put a international sim card in it? ( i have a itunes account.. i have had one for about 2 years now.. ) so the issue isnt itunes the issue is at&t..
Huh. I wonder if someone just copied and pasted your content and sent it to Gizmodo, or they really did just rip you off. I've found the folks @ a blog in that same network are quite good at citing the source ie. not try to take credit for someone else's content.
I found an 'One click to unlock your iPhone' tool at http://www.pqdvd.com/iphoneunlock. It can active iphone to get a ipod with WiFi, not phone function yet. But who knows? it might soon be resolved too...
we need Developers with ARM programming skill for unlock iphone:http://hadi.wordpress.com/2007/06/29/iphone-unlock-contest/
I already hv unocked i-phone and i m using it rite now on T-mobile. and my brother in INDIA too using the same with Vodafone-Hutch...I don't know why u guys can't get it????
This is to RAJ; "From where did you and your brother got the "unlocked" iphone? Guess you may do some good to "iphone humanity" if you reveal this info. cheers!
RAJ how u did this, im also in india let me know how come my iPhone will work with Hutch or Airtel
Thanks
To MAC & RK: I bought it from Mumbai India. (heera-panna market).Its original 8gb i-phone unlocked in around USD750.
Hi Raj,
Do you have any contact number to reach how we can unlock the Apple Iphone.
Regards, Fesar
Raj, please post that vendors information for all of us. How do you like the iPhone? How is the GSM side of the phone? Have you dropped any phone calls?
Drew
Hi guys, I apologise if I sound rude but all the crap bout unlocked Iphones in india is pure BS! Our mr.raj is either playing a prank or is a complete $%^&!
does this really work or not?
Okay on the unlocking procedure on the last step did he mean plug in the iPhone #1 or unplug iPhone #2 then plug it back in? An if its right will it unlock iPhone #1 or #2?
Look you all have it wrong here. Let me show you the way... This procedure does not "Unlock" the phone as you would know in the GSM world. All you have done is disable the activation script that is on the phone. You need to understand that the underlying OS is still a stripped down version of FreeBSD which is same OS that is a MAC. It runs a simple script to "activate" the phone. When all of the aurguemnts have been met the script stops and the phone opens is door. This is all you have done. To truly unlock the phone so that it would work on any GSM operators network, you need to get two things one. One, you need to get inside the phone without dorking it to gain access to the SIM. Two you need to know how to calculate the key to remove the network specific SID information that "locks" the phone on to at&t network. In the formal GSM world this key is generated from IEMI and ESN. From what I understand, Apple did NOT lock the phone in this manner because for years this is how we have unlocked phones from a specific providers network. Apple has a crappy Five year exclusive deal with at&t in the US. I have read a couple of blogs, that some people are close, but they are not there yet. Apple has done a good job of making this phone hard to get into.
Ciao...
NewMobileFreedom.com - Unlocking iphone very soon: http://www.newmobilefreedom.com
this is for all of u i don't knw abt the vendor because one of my brother's friend had some hook ups in INDIA through which he got this phone and he sent it to me here in USA too,,the phone itself looks gud but some of the general features are missing in it like msg forwarding and sending msgs to many people at a time etc but there is no dropped calls thing in phone . And for Mr. Dev i don't know wht to say for ur blog but u believe it or not i m using i-phone on my t-mobile no. and my brother on vodafone hutch in India and he paid 33,500 indian rupees for this .. and one more thing I read it smwhr that once u get the contract from AT&T wid the i-phone and after one month if u cancel the contract by paying termination fees then AT&T have to unlock that phone for you its compulsory by law..so i think that if AT&T can unlock it then hackers also can do the same...thanks
To Raj, dude I did not mean to offend you in any way, but I happen to be in touch with people at Heeera Panna on a daily basis, business you see and belive me even they are dying for it coz they know they can make truck load of money on the thing. You are correct in saying that AT&T needs to unlock the phone if you cancel the contract thouhg no instances of this particular case have been seen. Dude I am not really convinced that your bro is using it in India. Sorry bout that but I just cant digest it.
but i can say one thing that i m not lying!!!! and second thing is that one can only cancel a contract after 1 month of their services...and i-phone was launched on 29th june so technically after 29th july 07, one can cancel his contract..so lets wait till then???
The work around to the blue account problem is just go to an ATT store and do an upgrade to any gsm phone. Just find any free phone they are offering for a two year contract, even the upgrade fee is waived no charge to do this. then go to itunes an change the new phone to the iphone. and since you already singed a contract for the new phone there is not really no new contact just replacing the new phone with the iphones contract, then resale the new gsm phone on ebay and make a little money on it.
How do u get 2 the SIM card in the iPhone?
How do u get 2 the SIM card in the iPhone? Where is it?

Will an activated iPhone work in India with CDMA sim cards provided by Reliance and Tata Indicom?
I recieved my iPhone today. I live in London, and it doesn't work. How can I function the iPod or other stuff on the phone, without using the phone itself? All it says is "Activate iPhone."
TO MR. ARUN : NO IT WON'T WORK ON TATA OR RELIANCE AS ITS A GSM QUAD BAND PHONE. IF U TAKE A ACTIVATED PHONE TO INDIA IT WILL SURELY WORK ON AIRTEL OR HUTCH BUT THAT TOO AS ON INTERNATIONAL ROMING WHICH WILL COST U A LOT...
@Raj: thx for the info. But how will be airtel or hutch cost u roaming charges, cant i use a local airtel/ hutch card?
@James: chk out this: http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki/index.php/AlternateActivationMethods
so with what youve done, dose this mean you can use all the functions on an iPone or just the Phone part/Ipod part? and if you need 2 iPhones, can you do this method to both of them and have them both unlocked or just one of them?
Hi guys, i just followed one of the blogs instuctions of how to activate the bloody Iphone, nd it works , BUT not the handset yet, any news?

BREAKING NEWS
AT&T IS UNLOCKING THE I-PHONE
2 OF MY FRIENDS HAD THE CONTRACT WID AT&T. THEY TOOK IT ON 29 JUNE WHEN I-PHONE WAS LAUNCHED, TODAY ON 1ST AUG JUST AFTER ONE MONTH OF THEIR CONTRACT THEY SIMPLY CANCELLED THE CONTRACT BY PAYING EARLY CONTRACT TERMINATION FEES OF 175 ( ALTHOUGH THE FEES WAS ALSO WAIVED OFF FOR THEM FOR SOME REASON). THEN THE AT&T HAD UNLOCKED THEIR I-PHONES BY PUTTING SOME CODES.NOW THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN USE THEIR I-PHONE WITH ANY OTHER CARRIER TOO....
THANKS
Wow thats a great news. If someone cancels the contract and gets it unlocked, then he should try to record it in someway by using another phone/ camera.
Sure the code to unlock will leak if one is available.
Damn, I need that as well... When someone tries out the trick RAJ has explained, could he please tell all of us if it works? That would be great news! I think everyone will be running to the stores if that is true
(including me ofcourse)
Hell yeah, im headed off to the US of A in a week and id love to be able to buy the Iphone and then have the damn contract terminated so i can use it back in th UK
hey your theme is really cool,can i have it? free or commercial. or at least tell me designers name. email me: me [att] hadifarnoud.com
So, if I unlock the phone using GoPhone prepaid service (which I hear is an option when you try to activate it using ITunes) and cancel it after, lets say 2 months, I will get an unlocked phone, no cancelation fees (since it is prepaid) and only paid for the 2 months I used it? Sound too easy. I currently have AT&T in Puerto Rico, but they don't offer it here, I just wish to unlock it just to change my sim card to the IPhone.
hiii.. i just wanted to know that after the iphone is unlocked can you call and txt message people along with using the wifi and ipod features with a tmobile simcard?
@jojo: if by "unlocked" you mean using the method (way) above, then no. Currently the iPhone has not been "unlocked" in the sense of "Look, swap the SIM card and now my iPhone works on T-Mobile!". It has been "unlocked" in the sense that after you buy it you won't just get an "Activate Phone" slider that does nothing. It will work as an iPod, a Wi-Fi (NOT EDGE) browser, and all the other goodies it has, minus making calls and internet wherever you are. Imagine it not as an iPhone, but an iPod on super-mega steroids. If you will.
To all of you guys out there, who thinks cancelling your contract with AT&T will get your iPhones unlocked, think again! I actually tried to cancel my contract and I even offered to pay the $175.00 early termination fee. AT&T were tripping all over themselves to try to get you to cancel and pay the $175.00. They really don't care if you cancel or not, they just want your money! Then in addition, when I asked if I will get the code to unlock the iPhone if I paid the $175.00 early termination fee, they told me that AT&T does not have the code to unlock the iPhones. They instructed me that if I devide to cancel, I'd have to pay the $175.00 and return the iPhone back to the Apple Store. Apple will charge a restocking fee of $139.99 (20%, what happened to 10% like they stated on the receipt?).....what a nicely pre-planned way to extort money from unsuspecting consumers. In addition, AT&T's customer service people really suck as they always sound pissed off when you call them with any iPhone related issues.....anyways....I got around the cancellation fees on my contract in other ways! This is how to do it....Get yourself a letterhead (or make one yourself) from a foreign based company. Tell AT&T that you have been offered a job overseas. Fax them a copy of the letter from the fictitious company and they will cancel the contract for you with no fee. It's actually in the exceptions clause of their wireless contract. The termination fees are waived if you are relocating to another country of if being ordered by the military to serve overseas where your cellphone service will not have any use for you...they are trying to stiff everyone out there, the least what we can do is fight back using the taste of their own medicine! Don't worry! they will have no way of verifying with the fictitious company about your new employment overseas since AT&T are not offering you a job. Privacy laws makes it impossible for AT&T to call these company to verify employment. In addition, did I mention that the company is fictitious?
yups dennis is right if u can show that u r moving out of USA whr t-mobile or AT&T is not available..then these companies have towaive off the termination fees...
Well guys this is unconfirmed but i am from barbados and a few of us down here have had the i-phone unlocked for a month now. What happened was that at&t was down here and they were bought out by digicel and hence there equipment and technology was now owned by them so simply installing a digicel sim card allowed users to make full usage of the phone within the carribean under Digicel's sim card service. Need any more info blog back and I would be happy to lend a bit more insight.
Plz to be unlock 904SH now?
Hey James...do you think the same will apply in other Carribbean countries where digicel in operating?
THEY UNLOCKED IT GO TO GOGGLE AND GOGGLE IT.
[...] Semi-unlock details for activating an iPhone without a phone number, but access to everything else [...]
Can't you guys just tell AT&T that you are going on vacation overseas and want your iPhone unlocked so that you can use the local service wherever you are going since international roaming cost an arm and a leg? Users with Blackberrys have been doing this procedure for a long time. Just my 2 cents.
I FOUND OUT TOO LATE TODAY THAT THE 8525 WHICH I BOUGHT FROM AT&T UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I AS AN OLD AT&T CUSTOMER WOULD BENEFIT, WOULD COST ME A FORTUNE TO OPERATE. WHEN I COMPLAINED, THE CANADIAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS GUY SAID, "AT&T ISN'T JEWING YOU." WHO WANTS TO DO BUSINESS WITH THESE SWINE?

Digicel James Bim please send me more information, I am with Digicel Thanks
Ned is a moron. Cingular bought AT&T Wireless. Then AT&T bought Cingular.
Sebastian, Ned's closer to right than you think.
It goes like this: Bell is split up in Jan 1 1984, into AT&T (a couple of AT&T entities) and the regional Bell companies. Cingular, SBC, all of those were outgrowths of that. One-one, the regionals merged back into what was SBC - Southwestern Bell.
Then SBC bought AT&T, which was good because AT&T was shoddily managed for several decades. SBC might have lousy customer service, but AT&T had a toxic corporate culture.
The buyout of AT&T by SBC/Cingular was not only just, but two decades later than it should've been.
Unlocked iPhone
http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/
Hi everyone. I am an AT&T employee and I'm really sad to see everything being said on here. Apple CHOSE to enter into a contract with AT&T, so don't just blame us.
Second, Cingular bought AT&T (I'm not going to delve into the history there) and everything was called Cingular... then Cingular decided to just change the name back to AT&T for the recognition. There was no additional buy-out. NO change in services what so ever.
I'm really sorry to hear about the bad customer service some of you have been receiving. It's not what we as a company like to see, and it's being worked on.
Found this small download to activate the iphone as an ipod/pda/wifi device. Doesn't unlock the sim though.
http://www.pqdvd.net/iphone-unlock-toolkit.html
Some methods to unlock the iphone at http://www.iphonesinfree.com
This is not an unlock. All this does is activates Wi-Fi and iPod functionality. You will not be able to make calls using another carriers SIM.
Dennis,
I think that is illegal. They can't charge you $500/$600 for an iPhone and then say it isn't really yours, you have to turn it in when your plan expires or is terminated. I think A,T&T is just trying to prevent you from terminating and is simply refusing to provide the unlock code. Under the DMCA unlocking of cell phones is expressly not covered, so there is nothing illegal about unlocking and I believe they cannot refuse to provide you the unlock code without being in violation of DMCA themselves.
You know the funny thing is that, when I talked to AT&T and they told me that they did not have a means to supply me with the subsidy code and they refused to unlock the phone, AT&T declined my request to have such denial in writing with the reason for their denial. I am now seriously considering a class action suit againts AT&T and Apple for breaching the DMCA rulings. Any attorney's out there willing to pursue this with me. My main point id that, I am being held hostage to AT&T's service and when I travel to Europe, I will not have access to my phone's address book. Once you turn on your phone outside the country, the phone automatically logs on the other network and accesses EDGE, this incurs a huge daily roaming charge and huge data charge just for having turned on your phone. Believe me, my friend just came back from London and when he checked his email a couple of times, he came home to a phone bill of $562.37, $300.00 of that is just data charge. I think this is extortion and was a preattempted act by AT&T to make more money from consumers.
I just spoke to AT&T again this morning, I spoke to a customer service manager by the name of Shirley Bastiste, her direct phone number is 1-337-279-6179 who claims that while it is the consumer's rights to get access to other network when contract is properly terminated and subsidy code to unlock the phone is to be provided by the carrier through the manufacturer, AT&T has now pointed the fingers at Apple claiming that Apple refused to provide AT&T with the all the unit's subsidy codes. When I requested to have my denial in writing, it was turned down flat. Then I was advised that, they can give me the reasons for the denial over the phone but when I asked if the conversation can be recorded, again the request was rejected and she stopped talking to me at that point. I then requested for the phone number and address of their legal department. She put me on hold and then cam back on the phone after several minutes and told me that they do not have an address or phone number for their legal department! Wow! Wonderful, I multi-billion dollar company who has no legal department. I am so tired of being lied to and passed around by AT&T. If there are people out there who would like to pursue a class action suit with me, please email me directly at dmac925@gmail.com. I have now engaged myself into finding an IP attorney who will take my case for AT&T and Apples' breach of DMCA rulings. I am sure that the state of california legislators will be interested in finding out about this.
Oh, by the way....when I asked to speak to Shirley originally, she didn't exist as an employee of AT&T, then when I told the representative that I spoke to her and it is regarding a legal matter, she was able to magically pull up her phone number and extension number almost immediately.....darn AT&T! You guys need to go back to training on "how to blatantly lie through you teeth to a customer"....Anyone out out there experience the same thing?
Ned, actually AT&T wireless was sold to CIngular and then SBC bought the old AT&T and then renamed the whole thing AT&T, then bought Cingular and now the whole thing is know as AT&T. Here is the story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Mobility
A young kid is bragging actually bragging about unlocking the iPhone. He sold it to some company. He talks about it on his blog.
He got a measley Nissan and 3 new iPhones.
Poor decision making…he could’ve got so much more!!!
And now since he’s widely publicizing his actions I’m sure he has a lawsuit coming his way.
Check out GlobalGrind.com's News Feed for the rest of this story.
nop!!!!! nothing happened here!!!!
here in the philippines, some 50 iphones are now running on local networks (globe, smart, sun) using either software (SIM-side) or hardware unlocking methods.

Quick question. AT&T says for existing customers they need to subscribe to an iPhone data plan. This will cost an additional $20 per month for me. Do I really have to sign up for a data plan even though I don't need it? I just want the iPhone to use as a normal phone and listen to music or surf the web over wifi at any of the hotspots. Can someone please clarify?

dude my phone does the most frustrating thing, a lot of the time, when I'm on safari, on its own, it goes to the homescreen, without me even pushing anything! It sucks because when I go back into safari I have to start all over again, whatever I was doing...
For instance, it I'm on my hotmail account, this will occur, and when I go back into safari, its like I was never signed in!!
Anyone else having this problem?!!
Those on AT&T 2 yr plan now, prepare for the worst by the end of 2008 which is your 1st yr anniv with AT&T. When Cingular bought AT&T, they sold their towers (the original Cingular ones) to T-Mobile. Cingular was given a chance to co-use those sold towers until 2008. After that period you will be stuck with the original AT&T Mmode towers which has very poor coverage. As in POOR! I was with AT&T Mmode before (GSM not the TDMA network) and I can't even call from home or in lots of other places which defeated the purpose of having a "mobile phone". Whenever I tried to get out of my contract then, they said they will charge me the ETF. After AT&T I was a long time Cingular customer until this recent change to AT&T. A little digging and I read that news about the cell towers. Those towers are now T-Mobile property. The only thing that sucks for T-Mo right now is their GSM band which is not good at penetrating through thick walls in buildings. But those with Cingular errr AT&T, expect the worst come next year. Prior to AT&T being bought by Cingular, they were cash strapped and couldn't afford to add new cell sites. And now they'll be back to operating under their original Mmode towers. Ever wonder why they started mandating new AT&T customers to 2 year commitments unlike T-Mo which still gives out 1 yr contracts?
victor u are wrong.... i own an iphone and it is only 20 dollars more each month. the only problem is that this plan only includes 200 text messages...for more texts it is 40 dollars a month.
well take out the difference of your old text messaging plan. i was paying 15 a month pre iphone for texts, once i got the iphone, it took away my current text plan($15) and added the 30 iphone plan. all in all my rate went up 15 a month, not bad,
Well.... I have been with at&t since 1994, and if anyone needs my signature for a lawsuit I'm good for it. I have the $99 charter plan(blue customer), and since at&t became cingular everything change (horrible customer service, billing issues, etc, etc) I'm really dissapointed with cingular, but not enough to drop my plan, I beleive at&t should take care of the customer that as help them grow and make their millions. I might have a $99 charter plan but with my long distance (overseas) and my roming to europe and south america ......... I have had a month were I paid $600.00, and my bill after taxes is never under $150.00, any questions pls email me to dcaem@hotmail.com (subject: IPHONE)
$20 for a plan that includes 200 text messages only?
i know a country where it's like two bucks (converted) for unlimited texting for a week... so make that eight bucks for unlimited texting in a month. some of my friends living there average 500 messages a week...
texting in america is so expensive...
haha ravii, the 20 bucks isnt for texting, those are data prices too
