    Can't you give it a rest? I had to quote the entire section to put the sentence in boldface in the proper context. Would it have been clear if I quoted only this sentence?

    Use of iPhone to access corporate email, company intranet sites, and/or other business applications requires an Enterprise Data Plan for iPhone.

    Oh, you're totally clear. You've only pasted that a few dozen times (talking about giving it a rest...).

    Why don't you go back and count the times you have pasted this or something similar?

    Because irishguy's post is actually useful feedback for folks thinking about trying their luck with this loophole.

    I must be missing something here. Don't you just get the globe screen and a message telling you to connect to iTunes for activation after a restore? How are you getting past that after doing a restore?

    I'm half-tempted to try it myself just to verify, but I don't want to rock the boat since I've had my phone working properly on the cheap data for a few months and don't want to have to mess with re-adding/re-dropping the $30 data if it turns out that you do need the proper data plan in order to get the phone working again.

    No problem. Enjoy. Glad that I could be here to help (unlike a few others).

    So, I've just started getting the scare-messages from AT&T regarding the ineligible data plans. I've read through most of the 40 pages and not a single person has confirmed that AT&T has charged them more or shut them down. Are we all in agreement? This IS just AT&T bullying their customers to pay for for nothing extra? I've been a cingluar/AT&T customer since 1995.... I pay them over $80/month to use my iPhone and they want more?!? I had a 2g and a friend gave me her 3g when she upgraded to 3gs. I've disabled the 3g and have never once used it. So there is NO difference at all from what I had to what I now have based solely on at&t's service. I have a newer iPhone, I have more Gb's- but the service I use from AT&T is no different, so why should I (or any of us who rely on Edge or wifi) pay more? *example* when I had a landline, my telephone had the capability to have a 2nd line. I could also press a series of numbers and dial an international number. BUT if I have a top of the line phone with all the bells and whistles, but CHOOSE not to use them, I don't get charged for all that stuff.

    We should all be angry at AT&T for their price gouging, corporate greed, and terrible service. I hope ther will one day be a class-action lawsuit for the scams they pull. I'm calling at&t's bluff. Go ahead and change my plan. I dare you AT&T to cut off my service. I've been giving you $80/month since 1995.... I've dropped you for my landline service already. Wanna lose me again as a wireless customer,too? Knock it off with the 4:30am txt msgs about how my data plan is ineligible!

    To all of you posting about this topic. I thank you all so much for the information. And please PLEASE post when & if AT&t ever start charging you, change your plans, or block you until you pay more. I would loooooooove to know about it.

    Getting a job at AT&T and doing it yourself. I'm afraid there is no other way, aside from calling CS.

    Put your SIM into another AT&T branded phone and register on the network. Give it an hour or two and log in to OLAM. Not sure, but you might have the option of switching the data plan. If not, leave the SIM in the AT&T branded phone and call CS. Tell them you sold your iPhone and would like to switch to the $15 plan.

    You can't =(

    You'll still have to call in and make up a believable story to have them remove the plan.

    You used to be able to that but they have closed that loophole long time ago. Currently, you must call CS to remove the iphone and put on another non-iphone IMEI to the line to get the $15 plan.

    No extra charges, no forced switch. This is since November 2008.

    good to know, thanks.
    someone at crackberry said they received a email from att saying they were gonna be hit with overages if they don't switch so that had my heart running kind of high. don't want to switch plans every week lol.

    do you still get those pesky emails though?
