How to use my data plan on my prepaid iphone 3gs without Wi-Fi?

I was originally on the $50 unlimited talk/text plan with at&t and would just use my Wi-Fi at home for the internet. They just made a new rate plan for smartphones allowing them to get data usage. I switched to the $65 uunlimited talk/text/international calling and text and 1GB of data.once i added the money to my account and switched my rate plan i turned off my Wi-Fi and i can't get on the internet. Any help please?

No reason to turn off the Wi-Fi but the your not getting any "g" as in 2, 3, or 4G then you should check your' data settings to make sure data and roaming are turned on. But that seems really limited for the price… You should really check out the new Unlimited everything (including hotspot) plan that just came out. Runs off T-Mobile and at&t's 4G network for $49/mo and ends up bein free or making you money every month instead. It just launched in September and is taking the money that would other wise be wasted on the same old repetitive advertising and giving it to the people for sharing with others. $20 for every 3 people you enroll every month for as long as they have the service+another $20 for every 3 people they add as well… It adds up let me tell ya. Also coming to Europe next year!

First turn off your Wi-Fi and to turn on your data plan go to
Settings>>general>>cellular>>turn on cellular data and enable 3g

Hope it helps

  • Possible to do AT&T prepaid plan without GoPhone (want to use my own iPhone 4)? I'm currently on T-Mobile and you know how it is with iPhone… Only 2G and no 3G data. I'm done with my contract and need to use the phone for 5 more months so I don't want to sign up a 2 year contract. I'm going to restore my phone back to factory state and want to sign up for AT&T prepaid plan but is it possible to do it w/o buying the GoPhone?
  • Need small prepaid talk and data plan while in Chicago this weekend? I'm going to Chicago this weekend and want to bring my unlocked iPhone. It is too expensive for me to get an international plan which is why I want to get a local sim. I'm looking for maybe around 50-100 minutes and about 100-200mb of data. What is the cheapest prepaid plan available that would meet this criteria for Chicago?
  • Is there a prepaid plan I can use with my 3GS using my AT&T SIM card? I know that StraightTalk has gone all screwy for us AT&T iPhone users. I really don't want to have to buy a new SIM card from anyone, especially not at the supply-and-demand prices one now faces in the mobile phone world. If I can keep my number, that'd be just too groovy for words; I don't really expect to be able to though.
