Att can see your IMEI, and the whatever device you are using is registered on the network when you put your sim into it; it is not a matter of preventing data flow, because that is not what is identifying your device.

I routinely flip between my blackberry and iphone, but since you are on a dcorporate plan things may be different. What is the problem exactly?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The problem is my company said "Att informed them" that i'm my BB sim is being used on an iphone. is there a way i can prevent that?
i know i used my bb's SIM on the iphone for over 2 weeks previously without any notice. but recently i started using it again, i started on sunday and company knew on monday. i had to active thru itunes again since i needed to restore the phone. just curious if that triggered something.
want to see if i can prevent from triggering something that will notify att i'm using my BB sim on an Iphone.
 
does ultrasn0w or sn0wing the phone block at&t from seeing which dataplan i'm using?
