So I think I want an iPhone. I currently have an unlocked Nokia E71 on AT&T, with the $10 unlimited data. How can I keep my current plan and get an iPhone. I don't want to pay $30 for a data plan. I've read that AT&T can detect the IMEI # and change you plan accordingly... But what if the iPhone was never on their network? Italy supposedly sells unlocked iPhones... Would they work? Is there another way? I hate to sound like such a novice, but with the iPhone, I guess I am. Being locked into an expensive data plan is the reason I ditched my BB for the Unlocked Nokia (and AT&T just sees it as an unlocked "normal" phone instead of a smartphone, hence the $10 data).

Thanks in advance!

Mike
