Have a new iPhone 3GS 16GB. Just has a plastic slot cover over the sim card slot. The cover comes off but no card tray. Ordered one. Got it today. It won’t go in. On one of the pages it shows inserting the card and doesn’t show a tray. Are the new 3GS iPhone without the tray?

Yepper listen to this man he knows what hes saying….I have the iphone 3g running 3.0 software and purchased a gophone for $29 at walmart and activated my phone now im awaiting my number to get ported from my virgin mobile account ………..

I havent yet activated the data plan for $4.95 will do so whenever I only brought the iphone because i can stream my ipod wirelessly and the camera is great too only 2mp but it takes good enough pics

gps will locate you if you are standing still but it wont follow you like my mio gps unit does but it can certainly get you out of a jam and direct you to a location just not turn by turn directions like you may be use to with a car gps

Yes, 2.1 works just fine with prepaid. There is no software update to iPhone 3G that will block prepaid accounts. AT&T may be able to do that on their end, however, it’s not likely that they would do so.

Thanks for the info on the pre paid 3g it works fine. The first gen iphones can still me put on prepaid accounts by att. I just put my brothers on prepaid. I have another question though. If i upgrade my iphone 3g with the 2.1 software it will still work prepaid. right? Again thanks for all your help.

Do not use ZiPhone. It is not compatible with firmware 2.1. Again, you need to use PwnageTool.

When you purchase an iPhone 3G, you can simply insert a prepaid SIM card into it. Only first-generation iPhones need to be jailbroken to activate on prepaid.

Does the i phone 3 g have to be unlocked when i put my first generation iphone prepaid sim card into it so it will work?

Again, with the first-generation iPhone, simply use PwnageTool to activate it on a prepaid account.

I tried putting a 3g simcard that i took from a razor phone. but the i phone activation screen popped up asking me to plug the phone into i tunes to activate it. Is there still a way to activate it pre paid. The i phone i have is the earlier model.
