Hey folks.. here's my question:

I currently carry two phones. A normal, plain jane flip phone that my employer provides on AT&T and an iPhone on a personal plan. If I put my non-iPhone / non-data plan SIM card into my iPhone.. will I be able to do everything with the exception of data? (unless on wifi)

I'm thinking voice and text should still work? Anybody tried it?
 
Hey I just called ATT and they said a data plan would automatically be charged to the account of the new SIM card.. can anybody confirm or deny that?
 
They will send you a text message asking you to call them once you start using enough data to catch their eye. I used a non iphone sim for a few days and never got one. But I've heard of people getting one within a few hours.

Yes, I know people using a non-iphone data plans for over a year and never got a text while some others that got texts and keep getting them along with phone calls from AT&T within a week.
