Resolved Does unlocked iPhone 4 work on prepaid card?

[lilcarp87]

Hi all,

I don't call much. I just like the features and the applications, so I am going to buy a new iPhone4 or iPhone4S ( without contract ) but I am not sure that does it works well on prepaid card?

I saw this video clip on YouTube about "Cut Sim Card to Micro Sim Card" to use Go Phone ( Pay As You Go ) AT&T:

If yes, so do I use the refill card T-Mobile which I am using right now on my Nokia6070 for iPhone4 ( if I cut my Sim card )

Another question is:
If I use that plan by refill card, can I use iPhone4 for watching movie or surf internet on wireless and download apps / games ?

Thank you guys for reading and answering!​

Yes it will work fine, but don't expect 3G since the iPhone 4 has different 3G frequency. So you will be stuck with EDGE!

Thank you!

T-Mobile offers micro sim cards as well. You can go to the store and ask for one. I think they are $10. Just in case you mess that one up, like I've done.

Why don't they show it on website for people to check out?

Actually, I really don't call much. I just text or call 3-5 times/ days and each time is about 3-5 minutes. Sometime, I have no calls on a week, so it wastes money to make any contracts.

I am just interested in iPhone 4 about their apps. Some of them are very helpful for me.

In addition, I have another question about using some cards.

I see this AT&T prepaid card on Walmart:

If I buy an unlocked iPhone 4 then use this AT&T SIM card:

and cut it into Micro Sim Card like many guide videos on YouTube, so do they work well together?


Same things above, I also have 2 options for that:

1. Refill cards: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-refill-cards
2. Sim Card of T-Mobile: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit

I am not sure which services between AT&T or T-Mobile should I chose. Does anyone use that way before? I feel I am illegal to use that way.

I have a friend, who used to use cutting sim of T-Mobile, have more troubles about signal. He said there is no signal when he use that way. But I don't know what plan he took. Maybe he took the contract plan. Unlike me, I am going to take prepaid card plan ( if it works )
