Method to Convert data plan from limited to Unlimited for Iphone-At&T


Recommended Posts

Posted

Items needed:

"Dumb" phone, with the IMEI number (found in the battery casing) - This can be bought as a "go" phone from any radioshack, at&t store, walmart, ect for <$20.

iPhone sim information (found in general--> settings --> ICCID, write this down as you will be using the iPhone to call at&t)

Access to your account for at&t



----


- Call 611 on your phone

- Click 1, 0, 0 (this is the series of #s you'll type in even if you listen to the automated voice)

- When you get to an at&t rep, tell them you want to switch from your iPhone 4 to a non smart phone. Also tell them you have an adaptor to make the micro sim work in your non smart phone (they will tell you it may not work, just tell them you want to do it anyway).

- Give the IMEI number of the non smart phone

- Give the SIM number of the iPhone (have this written down beforehand since you're on your phone)

- Everything should be set. They should confirm it's been switched.

- Ask for the $30 unlimited texting, email, and data phone ***for non smart phones*** If you have a plan with unlimited messaging, you will need to disable this (you can add 200 msgs temporary for $5 per line), and follow the rest of the guide. If you have it enabled you can't select this $30 non smart phone plan. You can re-enable it after you have unlimited 3g data in 2-3 hours.

- After it is set, hang up.

- You don't even need to turn on the non smart phone. Make a call from your iPhone. This will make the system realize you're still using it.

- You will get 2 texts from At&t (within 2-3ish hours):

Message 1:

"At&t free msg: did you know an eligible dat plan is required for your iPhone? Call 611 or visit att.com/iPhoneplans for details."

Message 2:
"At&t free msg: Your iPhone requires an eligible data plan. We have added an appropriate plan and messaging pkg. Call 611 or go to att.com/iPhone plans for info"

You'll also get an email saying the same thing.

If you log into your account on At&t's site you'll see that you currently have the $30 plan for non smart phones for unlimited data/messaging/email selected. Wait a few hours, and it will automatically change to $30 unlimited 3g data since you have an iPhone.

^ You will get a text message (this is a 3rd message) in 2-3 hours notifying you that you have the unlimited 3g data plan.

Welcome to the unlimited club  If you disabled unlimited messaging, re-enable after the change has been completed.

Hope this helps all.....
