I wish I could find the thread on this to update it, but this forum doesn't seem to want you to find threads you've posted in previously (wouldn't this make things easier).

Anyway, if you go into an att store tell them you want a pay as you go sim for your iphone they'll tell you you can't get a data plan for it, but they'll hook you up with a number and minutes. If you login to the pay as you go site you won't be able to add a data package there either.

If you call 611 you can say buy features, then data plans and you'll be given a choice of 10MB for $5, 100MB for $15 or 500MB for $25. They last 30 days but rollover if renewed before 30 days.

You'll need to use the iphone configuration utility to add a configuration profile to your phone to make the data work. Just tested it out today and it works like a charm.
