Question
QUESTION: HEY, IF I GET AN PREPAID AT&T GOPHONE CHIP. WILL I BE ABLE TO USE THE iPHONE ON A PREPAID "PICK YOUR PLAN" SERVICE?
I WAS PLANNING TO NOT BUY INTERNET AND JUST USE WiFi..

ANSWER: You will not be able to use the Pick Your Plan on an iPhone. You can only use an iPhone with a voice and iPhone data plan. AT&T will not allow you to use the iPhone with WiFi only. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN

QUESTION: THANKS. THAT HELPED MUCH. HOWEVER I WAS WONDERING IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET AN SMARTPHONE WITH AN ALLTEL PREPAID. I HAD A MOTOROLA Q9C WITH ALLTEL PREPAID BUT IT TOOK AWAY EXCESSIVE MONEY FOR WEB-BROWSING WHEN I WASNT EVEN BROWSING. BUT I SOLD IT TO MY FRIEND[AFTER CANCELING THE INTERNET]...SAME NUMBER SAME PLAN AND EVERYTHING...AND HE HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. HE STILL HAS ACCESS TO THE INTERNET THOUGH. WHAT IF I WAS TO GET THE ALLTEL TOUCH PRO OR SOMETHING.

Answer
If Alltel will allow you a prepaid plan with a TouchPro than you are good to go. It's up to them what devices they support on Prepaid. You can't get a post-paid phone and used it prepaid, you have to get a prepaid phone to use it with prepaid. I am not certain whether or not you can use a TouchPro, but if they have it listed on prepaid, then you should be fine. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
