Is it cool to buy an iPhone 3Gs but use a prepaid SIM card?

I'm planning to buy an unlocked iPhone 3Gs but I'm also planning to use a prepaid SIM card that uses GSM frequency. Is it cool to have that or will it limit the features of the iPhone. Is it cheap? (Like cheap person if I do that) I don't wanna have a plan on any networks that's why... And last concern, will it work?Is it cool to buy an iPhone 3Gs but use a prepaid SIM card?
In the US, the iPhone is not supported as a prepaid. I believe that the phone has to be jailbroken as well as unlocked to use a prepaid sim. Neither AT%26amp;T nor T-Mobile offer prepaid data plans. At best, you will be able to call, text and use wifi.



Before you buy anything, make sure you are completely educated on how easy it is to relock the phone (especially a 3gs) and how the 3gs running 3.1.3 cannot be unlocked right now (and no one appears to be working on a solution). It's going to be very easy for you to end up with a very expensive useless phone.
Yeah it's fine to have it like that, however using the internet may become expensive. The iphone calls, texts and picture messages are the same as any other phone but nearly all users use the internet almost all the time so if on pay as you go it may become expensive. What i would recommend is you buy a bundle/ booster from your network for unlimited internet; should be about 拢5 a month... :)Is it cool to buy an iPhone 3Gs but use a prepaid SIM card?
Hey- I was in the U.S. last year with my unlocked and jailbroken 3GS, and for awhile, I had no problem with a pre-paid ATT card - and they also had a data plan which was not so expensive. But then, the Edge started not working, so I just used it with the Wi-Fi at home and in Starbucks, and cafes, etc. So, then I switched to a T-Mobile pre-paid but with no data plan - but there were no limited features, otherwise. Another thing - where I live now, a disadvantage of the iPhone is that you get charged for Internet even though EDGE is turned off and you dont even have a data plan. I had to download BossPrefs from Cydia to toggle it off. Then BossPrefs was superseded by SBSettings - but I still could not toggle off Edge - so I went back to BossPrefs. It must be a common problem or they wouldn't have these programs. Where I live now there are cheap data plans for pre-pays, but you have to monitor your Internet usage so you don't go over the package limit or the price goes way up. Anyway, check out SBSettings - there's a ton of cool things you can configure your jailbroken iPhone with that program. Also, in the links below there is a discussion on how they have fixed the toggle data off in SBSettings.
You can use a prepaid sim card in an iPhone if it is unlocked.



The problem you will have is with the data side of the plan. The iPhone uses data for a number of its applications including YouTube, Stocks, Maps, Weather, iTunes, App Store, Mail and Safari.



You will therefore need to ensure that your sim card comes with some data.Is it cool to buy an iPhone 3Gs but use a prepaid SIM card?
Just to confirm you can but like other people have said I wouldn't advise it.



You can get good deals on the iPhone with unlimited internet and a good amount of calls and texts. This will be much better than using a prepay sim card.



But yes you can use all the features.



Hope this helps
You will not be limited on features only airtime.



It's pointless to get an Iphone if you can't utilize all the apps. I would suggest you go with an unlimited data plan. You never know how long you'd be on your Iphone and data charges for AT%26amp;T are ridiculous.
