Question: I have an jailbroken iphone with no contract and no service to anyone. I was wondering if it was possible to use a voip app and a data only package to use the voip app like a phone service from someone like AT&T. There is a jailbreak app which tricks the iphone to think it is using wifi when it is using 3G. Is this feasible or even possible?
 
I'm not positive, but I don't think AT&T sells data-only packages for iPhone (they might for BlackBerry, though). Calling them is always worth a shot.

Hope that helps a bit.
 
Another option I htought of was (sorry AT&T) going to verizon due to a $20 a month unlimited data plan. Would this work (with the proper jailbreak steps taken)? Thanks for the input and helping me keep my bills down.

How will you do that. The iPhone is not compatible with Verizon frequencies, perhaps t-mobile if you can live with Edge instead of 3G.
 
I'm a little new to the iphone on a different carrier game. I thought it was possible. If T-Mobile is usable, then I would need to research prices before deciding.
