just got it done with the helpful hand of a business care rep that is also a member of this forum. Thank you again! (survey added as well) now the wait for those text messages.
 
Don't forget, the 2G unlimited data plan is going away on August 27, 2010. Those who get it before that date will be able to keep it.

If I am reading it right, his 2G plan will expire on that date and get automatically converted to the 3G plan.

That makes more sense. But I thought SpaceKitty said for those who had the original $20 Iphone Plan can keep it. :confused:
 
Thank you so much for this information. I looked in every walmart around me for a gophone. All sold out. Can anyone please please give a imei number. You can email me at flauer1112@yahoo.com
It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
 
Update. Haha I never wrote my review. Success! It took me less than one hour to get the first two texts. The 3rd text came about 15-30 minutes later and I checked on olam and I'm on the unlimited now.

Some users said they were experiencing mms failure. Mine sent mms just fine with no other data loss or anything out of the ordinary. Thanks again op
 
Success! Thank you. Texts took about 6 hours to get. I just kept making calls and power off/on. Ty again.
 
my brother did the whole taking out my sim card and putting it in the iphone 2g and now it says on my phone i have the "iphone unlimited data plan + 200 texts" is that right? im also on shared unlimited text. i'm just wondering if he did this whole thing right

thanks
 
Anyone else's visual voicemail not working after doing this? People are leaving me voicemails but I'm not being notified on my phone, its still showing I have no voicemails. Wondering if it's related to this loophole...
 
Pulled a razr V3 IMEI off google called and did it all, it shows me having an iPhone 3G (my i4 hasn't arrived yet) with the unlimited minutes/data plan, JUST did it so no txt message from AT&T yet just waitin for everything else to fall in place. If this works I will name my first born whatever you want me too.
 
Just got both text messages, on the 3g unlimited data plan! WOO! Though I too have 2 unlimited 3g plans for data to pick from, should I leave it at the one auto selected or pick the 2nd one? :D

YOUR plan is set to expire, not everyone's. I'm guessing you just bought a new iphone.
 
Just tried this now. Now waiting for the text messages to arrive.

Edit: I received the first 2, still waiting for the last one.
 
i can confirm this is still working called at around 7:58 got texts and email around 20 mins ago. Now im on unlimited and dont have to worry about tethering my jailbroken iphone.... so about 2 hrs is the average i have an imei someone can use if they dont have one

Still on the $30 dumbphone plan. I changed the APN settings, so I am getting data (using the trick posted earlier in the thread),
but not updated to the iPhone unlimited plan yet.
