Can I use my AT&T GoPhone Prepaid SIM in my iPhone 3G /3GS?

I have a Go Phone that hasn't been activated. If I take the At&t SIM Card from it and put it in the iPhone 3g or 3gs, will it work?

"I should also point out that the battery life on my 3G iPhone using the GoPhone sim is AMAZING!"
Mine too on O2 in the UK with a VALID O2 SIM and with DATA!!!! I've not had less than four days since 3.0 and had NO problems with anything beforehand (AND we have tethering AND MMS already)!
Seriously, what HACKS ME OFF continuously is those who have problems of their own making because of their own 'taking'!
Live long and PROSPER (as they say in some parts)....people tend to GET just what they GIVE (we have found)

  • I live in the uk , can I use a pay as you go sim in my iPhone 4S in United States

    I live in the uk and have an iPhone 4S, can I use a pay as you go sim in the United States ?

    Yep.
    But, the US is not like Europe...your choices are very limited, as in only one real choice: T-Mobile.

  • How can I use international data on a prepaid sim (not vzw roaming) with the Galaxy s3?

    This has been incredibly frustrating.  I am in the middle of a trip to Europe.  Before I left, I confirmed with VZW CSR's that my s3 LTE phone is fully unlocked and that I could buy a local sim and use it while in Austria.
    Aside -- I can't use VZW global services on their network -- cost notwithstanding -- because I  hit some device limit when I bought my wife an iPad, and VZW required a deposit for it.  No big deal, EXCEPT that here three months later I learn that VZW accounting prohibits global roaming if you account has a deposit.  So fine, VZW doesn't want me to pay them a dollar a minute and $20/100MB.  No problem, I can get a drei (3) prepaid card for 10 euros that has 1000 minutes and 2 GB of data.
    So, I do.  I activate the card, and voice and sms work fine.  No data.  No joy.
    Step 1.  I call samsung.  Samsung, after about an hour of claiming it should work, decides that it is because VZW has some sort of software block.  Not surprising, since the software is actually from VZW.
    Step 2.  Call VZW.  After a great deal of ****  VZW says you have to go back to the drei store.
    Step 3.  Return to drei.  Store rep discovers VZW software will not recognize their access point name (APN), and will not let you enter it.  They verify on a different s3 that the sim is fine.  With my VZW sim, I can see the VZW APN's, but because I don't have global services turned on, no joy.
    Step 4.  Do some web digging.  Discover that this APN thing is a known bug.  Web sites (like the CSR in the transcript) suggest rooting or jailbreaking is the only workaround -- which I don't want to do.  But here I sit in Austria, with no data on a top of the line VZW phone and an account with seven different lines. 
    So, how do I resolve this?  Take the phone back, because there is clearly a defect?  But if it's software, I'll have to get an escalation to get a different phone.  Is there a fix?  Sue for false advertising?  Better yet, start a class action -- there sure seem to be a lot of us in this boat based on web searches.

    OK, I have to throw VZW some props here.  I went to the store where I bought my phones, and explained the problem I was having with international travel and the s3.  The store put me into an iphone5 for free as a warranty exchange -- apparently they know the APN issue is a serious one and they said there was a big lawsuit about it.  It cost me a bit for power adapters and such, and a few paid apps, but the iphone has (reportedly) no issues with international travel and local sims.
    Way to go, VZW. Mark this one up for responsive customer service.

  • Can you use a non-Verizon USA Prepaid SIM card in a HTC Incredible 2?

    I've investigated this forum,and others on the web and there is some confusion to the right answer to my question. I also got different answers from Verizon support. So here's my particular situation.
    I renewed my Verizon plan that included a new Motorola RAZR Max HD several months ago to replace my HTC Incredible 2 .I have successfully used my new Motorola phone with overseas SIM cards.
    After having the HTC unlocked, I was able to successfully use the HTC phone overseas with various foreign SIM cards. I had initially tested the phone with a USA T-Mobile SIM card with no problems.
    This week I decided to give my mother the phone (mainly for pictures, etc.) and use a prepaid H2O SIM calling card. The HTC phone shows the right H2O information such as SIM & IMEI number but the telephone number is not the H2O Sim one but my old telephone number that I'm using on the Motorola.  I tried a factory reset but didn't help.
    1.  Can I use non-Verizon USA SIM cards in the HTC phone?  If yes, how do I do it?
    2.  If  not, why did the T-mobile one worked?
    3.  If I find a way to change the phone number to my new SIM card's telephone number, will that work?
    4.  I read about "rooting" a phone, will this work?
    5.  Some told me that it was illegal  for Verizon to monopolize the phone. Is this true?
    Thanks for the help!! Tilly Saint

        I understand it's important to obtain the correct information tillysaint, and I'm happy to help you. The device is designed to work on our network. If the software was altered to work on the network you mentioned, some service and features are not available. In addition, the network you're trying to use may not be compatible with H20. The phone is a 3G phone which means if the network you want to use is on GSM, this will not work.

  • I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

    I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

    Thank you KiltedTim!
    YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?

  • Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad?  I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it?

  • HT3939 Am An Iphone Costumer  i purchased iphone 5 s in UAE , Can i use it in India with Indian Sim Card ?

    hello,
    Am An Iphone Costumer  i purchased an iphone 5S in UAE , Can i use it in India with Indian Sim Card ?

    Well, surely you know which carrier you were using in the UAE when you purchased the phone?
    You can tell if the phone is unlocked if you put a new sim card in the phone and it works - if you put a new sim card in the phone and it comes up with 'sim card invalid', then the phone is locked and you'll need to get it unlocked.

  • My IPOD is already synced to iTunes.  My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes.  Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?

    My IPOD is already synced to iTunes.  My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes.  Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?  Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also?  I haven't done this before with just an app.  Thanks.

    Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
    Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
    He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
    However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store.

  • Can I use my Philips SJM3140 iPod Docking Cradle with my iPhone?

    Can I use my Philips SJM3140 iPod Docking Cradle with my iPhone 4s?

    Pete, I'm grateful to have your comments... ! If you're like me, you may have the impression that the quality of technical support -- and documentation -- for third party hardware and software has declined dramatically over the past 10 - 15 years...
    So my concern was that somehow different signal assignments / or current would be applied to the 30 pins (between the two devices), and that might result in frying my new iPhone 4s.
    It would, nevertheless, be dandy to have the ability to 1.) charge the iPhone; 2.) transfer files over USB (from a third device); 3.) output stereo audio from the iPhone 4s via the (included) stereo RCA plugs to various devices; and, possibly, 4.) output video, via the Philips's S-Video port, to another device or monitor.
    Your comments are helpful. And perhaps I can trust that the pin assignments are the same for the iPhone 4s and the iPod (for example, the 4th Generation iPod with color display).

  • I lost my phone.  Can I use a location app to find my company's iphone?

    I lost my phone.  Can I use a location app to find my company's iphone?

    If the iPhone had your iCloud account set up on it, and in the settings for that account you had enabled "find my iPhone" then you can log in to your iCloud account in a computer's web browser (www.iCloud.com) and try to track it from your account.
    If you did not enable find my iphone, then no, you cannot remotely track it.

  • Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or noteb

    Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or notebook. Worked fine last week, but over weekend just started having issues.

    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has appeared recently that is preventing your Time Capsule (TC) from providing a clean RF signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. Look for other Wi-Fis that may be operating nearby. Note those with the strongest signals and which channels they are operating on ... then change the channel used by the TC to be at least 3-5 channels away.

  • TS4002 how can i use a deferent apple id for iCloud on my iPhone?

    how can i use a deferent apple id for iCloud on my iPhone?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you delete the existing account you will get an option to keep the iCloud data on your device.
    Before deleting the account, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll.

    That means your phone is now a brick. Congratulations.
    That's a risk you take when you decide to hack the phone.

    Maybe you can find something on google that will help you.
