Of the two one results expesive as in 2x the cost and the other cheap but possibly slow? SPOILER: option#1:TMOBILE unlimited prepaid data only (gsm carrier compatible with the iphone3g) cost:$40/month (it also includes blackberry services but high price for standalone) even though this does seem like an outrageous price to me. option#2:Boost mobile (iden/cdma carrier, compatible with nextel/sprint/verizon/cricketwireless/metropcs/etc. cost:$0.35/day (once activated though you cant stop daily charge caution) TIP: IF your using this i reccomend you take it to an expert to flash your phone to boost cdma network since its internet is WAY! faster. as for other companies such as verizon wireless or sprint, verizon wireless used to offer unlimited data and text for $35/mth standalone but removed that? i reccomend you do a strike against all carriers to make a "fair" price standalone data only plan prepaid and/or contract. I can help, and you (if you want) can donate to me at david2biz@yahoo.com stupid response: lets all donate together and make our own cell towers (each cell tower costs $150,000 approx.) we can use our own internet, and voice service :P AS OF TODAY 2/20/2010 i doubt you can get prepaid internet today from at&t since they offer only a 100mb for $19.99 (which is alot of $ for such little amoung of data) But you have 2 options for unlimited data.

I attempted to set up a 2nd generation iPhone in iTunes yesterday and was advised that I needed to be post paid or an existing customer. Also speaking with a rep at AT&T sales, I was told there is no unlimited media net on any GoPhone plans right now, that it used to be an option but isn't any longer. This is both PAYG and PYP.

Other than that... Sprint's $20/month developer plan (or $30/month Sprint Relay plans) are the best deals out there right now. T-Mobile prepaid is working with the APN hack (see the T-Mobile forum).
