I bought an unlocked iPhone and want to get a month to month contract from AT&T. Do they offer month to month contracts with data plan to people in my situation? I thought they did, but when I called customer service they said I could ony get a pre paid and that would be without data plan. Is that true?
 
Yes, you can get a monthly plan without a contract on AT&T.
Just make 100% they dont sign you to a contract cause sometimes they're sneaky and when you try to cancell later they give you the "good" news.
Happened to me.
 
To my knowledge no, you can't get a month to month plan on AT&T with the same features/service as a post paid. You can get a ore paid AT&T sim and choose from various plan options, but they won't be the same options you get with postpaid, and unless you are a very light user, it will cost much more.

If you want full featured, month to month AT&T iPhone service, I suggest trying Straight Talk. $45/month for unlimited voice and texts, and 2gb data. It runs on AT&T's network so the coverage is identical.
 
I was going to say, that would suck that just because your not on contract you cannot get all of the features as someone who is. I mean if your not subsidizing your phone, you are still paying them the same money as someone who did.
 
Not a problem. I do it twice a year when I spend time in the US
