2 weeks I bought an iPhone 2g to get unlimited data back in my iPhone, Evrything worked fine but AT&T has not changed me to the $30 unlimited plan my plan still shows that I have the 2g data plan and I cannot change it to the $30 3G plan because supposedly it is not compatible with my phone. Should I just leave it like that and see what happens?
I also keep getting this message
AT&T Free Msg: Did you know a data plan is required for your iphone? We have added an appropriate data plan for your iphone. Learn more at att.com/iphoneplans.

But nothing happens

Did you put the sim in an iPhone that supports 3G? If it's still in the original iPhone ten you can't select a 3G plan because it doesn't have 3G

Call up AT&T and tell them you want your 2G unlimited data plan to be grandfathered to your new iPhone 4? I'm not sure though, I've never tried this just going by limited information I've read online.

You did it wrong. You were suppose to get a new sim. Then put it in the 2G and activate it on your line (whatever number your iPhone 4 has). Once that's done, you can either get a new microsim and call AT&T to switch over OR you can get a SIM cutter and cut the sim you used to activate the 2G and then use it in the 4.

Remember you need a BRAND NEW sim to active the 2G or it will not work. This trick does not work if you put your microsim into the 2G and activate it.

Should I just keep it on the 2g data plan?

why would you do that - EDGE is so slow!!

That's all some of us get
At least ever since AT&T installed a new antenna nearby I don't have to put up with GPRS and WAP anymore.

Actually even if he has the unlimited iphone 2G plan and sticks his sim in any 3G capable cellphone he will get 3G data and not just Edge.
Offcourse 3G has to be available in his area to connect to.

3G works perfectly on my iPhone 4, I get great 3G signal most of the time. But I don't know If I should stay on this plan.

Keep it, its cheaper anyway
And once they detect it they might move you to the unlimited plan.

There is no such thing a a 2G data plan or a 3G, all of AT&T's plans support 3G if you had the right SIM(as you do)

The only reason the first iPhone had cheaper data was because Apple worked with AT&T to make it that way so more people would buy the device.

Palm OS smartphones which would only use EDGE on AT&T didn't cost 20 dollars. AT&T upped the iPhone 3G to 30 dollars because they were putting up more money to lower the cost.


Apple tried something new with AT&T which was a higher upfront cost with lower data costs, which would end up saving people money, but people didn't jump on board.
