Need ur suggestions please,

i'm on T-Mobile, contract expired waiting to switch to AT&T. (Waiting for new iPhone version in June).

I have an non iPhone premier AT&T account created for my brother, contract till 2010.

question:

Can i buy/upgrade an refurb iphone 16GB (299) from AT&T account and not activate it on my brother's account and unlock and use with T-Mobile.

Will AT&T force me to add a data plan after purchasing the iPhone?, will they find out that the iPhone has not been activated. ?

when i tried buying the iPhone it did not ask me to add a data plan and i don't mind the contract being renewed for another two years, all i'm worried is abput the data plan, i dont want the data plan added to my bro's account.
