oh...I was thinking your comment was based on date of the account, not the phone. Im going ot have to call around to some friends to see if anyone has a 2g.
It is only a matter of time before they update their system and kill this trick. They will not let you be grandfathered in because well there was no account to GF in.
They will then say you have been updated to 2Gig a month plan.
I am GFed in though because I had an iPhone 2g, which offers unlimited data. So by me replacing my 2g with an iPhone 4 on my account I am GFed in. ;-)

I Doubt that they will close it any time soon. I've been using this trick for a few years going between the 3G data plan to the 2G data plan.
I used to do this to get the cheaper plan on my 3G phones. I would use the sim in my 3G for months before they would change the plan back to the 3G plan. Then I would do it all over again.
If I don't what? I should of said, this is cool but most of us don't really need it. Or you for that matter.
So I don't understand the point of your post......
Are you saying because the majority here don't need this it shouldn't be posted? We should only post things that help the majority?
If you change to this plan it will take your FAN discount away. 
The First generation iPhone didn't qualify for FAN discounts on the data plan VS the 3G data plan and current that do give you a FAN discount

And when you update to the $30 unlimited plan you get your FAN discount back.
You do? Don't you have to go back thru the whole FAN certification process of paystub,etc?
They put mine right back on. When I called in to make sure my plan was right she told me the discount was already reapplied. I was shocked.
You can use your buddies iPhone 2g, but you have to wait until you have an ATT account. LOL Once you have the iPhone 4 or 3GS in your hands go ahead and do this.

Thanks for that John bleeding Nash. Why are you even posting in this thread? Does it give you some sort of pathetic gratification to stick around in order to ram your opinions down other people's throats?
Look, this loophole is awesome and all. But! I urge you to not post this information on any other forums and such. Contain this info here as long as possible so that more people can take advantage of this before this loophole becomes widespread. I highly doubt this loophole's going to last that long. If this becomes widespread AT&T WILL make sure no new customers gets grandfathered or put some kind of limit to who can be grandfathered. I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE loopholes but they are fixed so fast because people can't shut the hell up about it. Let's keep very quiet about this.
monaarts, I don't know if this is possible or not but, can you change the title of this thread to something ambiguous? Title that doesn't bluntly say, "HEY WE HAVE A LOOPHOLE COME AND GET IT EVERYONE!" But something very neutral like "unlim data." That would be awesome. Thanks.
Same.
And i agree to the whole not telling that many people about this. Im sure AT&T will figure this loophole out sometime soon. Maybe u could take this off or something and PM it to the people who need it? Idk, i know theres an easier way to keep this hidden while still letting people know about it..
Grrrr.... white iphone needs to hurry and come out so I can do this trick. Anyone wanna sell me a 2g Iphone
