I'm not up to speed with Att prepaid, and could use some help. Phone is a week old Vivid, went online to Att, prepaid chat person said I need the $50. plan and then an extra $15. data plan to get everything working. Everyone else (tmo, virgin, boost, etc.) all include some data with their unlimited plan, but Att charges extra even though their $50. plan states data included. Maybe because this phone is not listed as a GoPhone? What about using another carrier? Who? I don't need much data, just check 5-10 emails a day, gps 1 time a week, some texting, and google searching about 5 times a day. I don't stream music or watch videos. Suggestions most welcome.
Btw, does anyone have experience with H20? I see where you download a app and it's supposed to work with Android (they have an iPhone app too). https://www.h2owirelessnow.com/pageC...php?page=index
Another question, will I get 4g on Att prepaid and H20?
A BIG thanks HoFo'ers!

Ok, but why does Att state unlimited talk, text, and data on their $50. plan? Very deceptive advertising.Originally Posted by efparri

If you actually go to anywhere that AT&T advertises the plan, they clearly say it's only available on eligible phones, none of which are smartphones.
If by "4G" you mean HSPA+, then yes, although GoPhone has lower speeds on the same device than on postpaid. This is not the case, I believe, with the MVNOs.
If by "4G" you mean LTE, then no. You will not get it on GoPhone or on the MVNOs, only on AT&T postpaid.
The H2O or Jolt or Red Pocket $50 plan may well suit you better than the GoPhone one. Or the Straight Talk $45/month which would require you to activate one of their Nokias and SIM swap.

Wrong. Att GoPhone does have some smart phones listed: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-pho...1&rel=nofollow
After reading another thread about APN changes, I'm ready to try it. If that does not work, Jolt or Red Pocket will certainly work. Thanks

cmstlist was referring to the $50 unlimited plan. ATT Smartphones won't get unlimited data on it. You can use a smartphone on that plan for talk and text only but if you want data you have to buy a package. One caveat is that non-ATT smartphone do get "unlimited" data without buying a data package. you can check this thread for that http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...hich-ones-work

I just read this bombshell on Straighttalk forum here: ST will now allow BYOD on their network! This will be huge for ST since this means you don't have to do the SIM switch with the Nokia E71. ST's Facebook page has more info on it...just launched today...very interesting indeed.

The AT&T GoPhone uses the "wap.cingular" APN for all telephones. LTE telephones on AT&T use "pta" as the APN. You have to change the APN in the settings.
