Hi everybody and sorry for the question that has been surely asked like a million times!

Anyway, here's my problem:
I'm a Italian student that it's coming to the USA thanks to a 6-months scholarship program. Since I'll need a cellphone plan for my iPhone, I've decided to buy a pay as you go sim and go for the 50$ "unlimited" plan.

My concerns regards the "data" part of the plan: I understand that AT&T doesn't allow to use this plan with a smartphone but I was wondering how they can detect that I'm using an iPhone!

Do you think that I could still subscribe to that plan and just set the right apn using this as described here?

Thanks for the help!
