I'm shortly moving back to New York. I have no credit there and AT&T is now charging a $750 deposit and, moreover, I'm not even sure I'll be there for two years.

I'm thinking I'll simply get a plain 3G on ebay then unlock it.

My question is (and despite searching I can't find a definite, straight answer on this) what is the best network, plan to use and what hacks are there to use these networks. For instance to fool AT&T into thinking that I am not an iPhone etc.

Also, what do I get for these packages? In the UK it doesn't cost to receive a call; in the US it does so it's fairly confusing. What do I have to do to keep these packages going.

I'll be calling through google voice.

Anyway, I would truly appreciate links, advice etc.

Best,
James.
