There’s no real reason to do this with the US version of the phone unless you want to stay with AT&T –whose plans aren’t so cheap regardless on prepaid (if that’s what people are going with). Using the turbosim or any other sim-piggyback like solutions to unlock the iPhone (temporarily) are buggy and require you to reboot your phone regularly –it’s some people’s only option when roaming abroad I realize that. The best way to get an iPhone 3g without a contract is to get an unlocked handset from Hong Kong –which come unlocked out of the box.

AT&T hasn’t said what the requirements will be for buyers purchasing at the no-contract price. That pricing isn’t available yet.

However, you will probably have to have a postpay plan of some form to buy it at that price. I suspect AT&T will wait an even longer period before formally offering iPhone 3G on prepaid plans.

i did call at&t, complain I don’t get 3g neither edge. They checked and the cell tower is 7 miles away from my location. In order to cancel she told me I have to return the iphone. So be aware, you may cancel your plan, pay early termination but they want your iphone back. They will not let you walk away with the iphone and no plan attached to it. That is the way I understood from this ATT rep. And she was very inquisitive, I bet a lot of people trying to get away with a iphone and detached att’s costly data plan.

OKay but my real question is about the 30 days and termination of the contract. do I need to wait 30 days or can i terminate now?

Agnes, nobody in AT&T has the unlock codes for iPhone 3G… at least not at the customer service level. Nobody has successfully unlocked an iPhone by “calling AT&T”.

Now, that will work for just about any other phone, provided you meet AT&T guidelines. Sorry, but whoever you spoke with at AT&T really misinformed you.
