Yes got it to work unlimited data on iPhone 4!!!!!!!!!! LINK WITH TUT INSIDE

I figured out how to do this a while back:
if you have an old, non-smartphone lying around (in a pinch, someone else's will do), then all you need to do is stick the sim card into that phone, get the unlimited dataplan for NON-smartphones (i think it's called something like medianet), then stick it back into your iphone. If you're on a family plan, you can reduce the price to $20, or potentially lower, for unlimited data. I managed to get a $10 unlimited data plan on my iphone 3g using this method.
 
2G Unlimited Data With New iPhone 4 - Question

I have read all the threads on obtaining 2g unlimited data plan and placing on new iPhone4. Question: What is the easiest way to do this, given the following without an existing account and buying a new iPhone 4 with a new account and number this week:

1. I have a 2g on its way.
2. I have a micro sim adapter on its way.
3. I have an extra new unactivated ATT micro sim on its way.
4. I will buy a new iPhone 4 this week and can buy at a ATT or Apple store, or from their online services. Which is preferred in your opinion?
5. ATT tells me that if I order online, the new iPhone 4 comes activated but is placed is suspension until you call them.

Thanks in advance -

some here have reported that this procedure isn't working any longer
 
It worked for me as of 12/1/10.

I am a brand new AT&T customer. I bought two new iPhones on 12/1/10 on a family plan.

I went home, read this thread, called a buddy with an old 2g laying around. I picked it up, went back to AT&T and spoke to the same guy I bought the i4's from and advised him I was going rock climbing in two weeks and dug up an old iPhone 2g that I will bring so I don't damage my new i4. He gave me the SIM at no charge (i brought the iPhone 2g with me to prove it). I told him I'd activate it home.

I got home, hooked it up to iTunes and selected the Unlimited package with 200 texts.

I got an email saying it was processing. I later got an email saying the process was canceled. I was unsure why, but I didn't give up.

I called AT&T on my land line and advised them of the situation and that I was going rock climbing. They asked for the IMEI number and the rep said they needed a supervisor's approval to add the unlimited, but that it is no problem. Within 5 minutes it was showing on my account.

I cut the SIM (google the tutorial) and stuck it in my i4. BINGO no issues.

I did this around 7:30pm and by 9am the next morning I received the text I had been waiting for. I checked my account and I was automatically moved to the $30 unlimited iPhone plan.

No problems
 
2G to 4G for unlimited data question

I would like to try buying a new iPhone4 this week and taking a 2g with sim adapter tray to activate and enable unlimited data on iPhone4 by switching sim from 2g to 4g as outlined in posts here.

Can I use the new sim from the new account iPhone 4 in the 2g (with sim adapter tray) to do this? Won't the newly activated iPhone 4 sim present a problem, or ?

Thanks in advance.

2g to 4g extended data

thanks, then use the new sim in the 2g and once activated through iTunes, transfter it to the 4g, right?

thanks again ...

Yep, exactly. I bought a SIM adapter on ebay, but I never used it. It came with a stencil for cutting the SIM into a micro sim though. I did this at 7pm and by 830 the next morning I got that much awaited text.

Is the $30 'true' unlimited plan eligible for corporate discounts?

Only to the extent that your FAN agreement provides for a data discount, not all FAN(s) have this data agreement with AT&T.

Also, the current $25 2GB iPhone data plan also qualifies for a discount on eligible FAN plans. The $15 200 MB iPhone data plan does not qualfy for a FAN discount.

Is this trick still working? And do I have to have a 2g iPhone. Or can I use my old lg phone that doesn't require a data plan?

I'm not sure if it still does, wouldn't hurt to try. I wouldn't see why It wouldn't work anymore.
 
I have a iphone 2G and iPhone 4 (Unlocked bought from UK). Both unlocked & JBroken.

Do they give Monthly / month to month unlimited plans? I need to use it for a week in Canada? Will that charge roaming?
