im thinking of buying a jailbroken 3g iphone...the question i have is..if i already have a data plan with ATT...will it automatically work once i insert my sim card?

Thx in advance!
 
you might just want to ask someone at ATT because its my understanding that the data packet for the iphone is different that just a generic data package. Im sure it will work, but I think you might be able to save some money.

not trying to contradict the other poster, I'd just check on something like that. I dont think there is any harm in asking them in just a generic fashion. I dont have a data plan since my iphone goes back and forth w/ me from China so I generally avoid talking to AT&T. Nonetheless, good luck.
 
yes. I pulled my sim out of a palm treo 680, worked without any trouble in the iPhone. NOTE - you will not have visual voice mail if you are not on an iPhone data plan, however. Wasn't a big deal for me.
