I got the sidekick plan pre paid from tmobile for my iphone 3g and I am very happy with it. I was told that although the txt and phone work the internet will not, but for me it is working. I get edge connection at about 110Kb a second which for now gets the job done.

I am using a turbo gevey sim card which also works great,

Just wanted to let you know incase anyone else is looking for a cheap iphone plan


It cost $1 dollar a day and 15 cents a minute


Unlimted TXT and internet and all apps work with it too.

Just wanted to point out the reason that 3G doesn't work is because ATT and T-Mobile use different 3G frequencies. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/682489/
How many minutes do you use each month?

Yea I know that but I currently I use about 300, but I still have another phone under cotract intill june so all my minutes are with the other phone for the majority.

This is just temporary for me intill the new iphone comes out.

am interested in this... about how much do you pay a month for all of this?
 
okay, i have the tmobile sidekick data plan for prepaid too. since you said that you get connection to Edge, how do your settings look like? Because i have the sam prepaid plan and for some reason, I get the calls and unlimited txt, just no internet. Is your iphone 3G jailbroken or not? is it on firmware 2.2.1? how did you get it to work!?!? (sorry for the questions)
 
Can you (or anyone) tell us the APN (or otheer) settings needed?
