Anyone know how prepaid SIMs work? Do they stop mid-call once you've reached your limit (preferable) or do they continue and charge you over?
 
As far as T-Mobile, you'll have to unlock it. And the 3G iPhone has not yet been unlocked.

I'm not sure if this would even work with AT&T, as the no-contract 3G iPhones are not yet available.

can't you just jailbreak it?
 
So jailbreaking doesn't allow that huh. Btw doesn't the PwnageTool unlock iphone?

It can unlock the 2G iPhone if you want it to, but the 3G iPhone is currently unable to be unlocked.

Well, I'm adding it to this topic so as to avoid starting a new thread. So how do they work in general?

Sorry, I wasn't sure what exactly you were getting at.

I'm not exactly sure how prepaid SIM cards work because I've never used one. But it only makes sense to me that once your money/texts/minutes are up, the phone won't be able to perform those functions. If you're in the middle of a call - your time is up, too bad.

However, this is only speculation on my part on what appears logical to me.

That's what I was thinking, and it sounds logical to me, too... thanks.
