[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1409247, member: 24098"] Just an opinion, but I'm fairly certain that AT&T could care less what phone you use for "pay-as-you-go" services. The reason they force specific voice and data packages on you when you purchase a new iPhone is that the actual cost of the phone is $600+. They sell it to you for $200 and subsidize the rest of the phone by the fact that you have a 2 year commitment at a set rate. Once that commitment is met, the subsidy is paid and the phone is essentially free and clear. So yeah, if you've got an iPhone that is bought and paid for, I see no reason why they could give two hoots as to whether you use it on a pay-as-you-go plan. [/QUOTE]
