Prepaid iPhone in a Nutshell

Has anyone been able to use gMail on the iphone. I can open emails, but not click on links or reply to emails.

Can someone confirm please.

THANKS!!

what if u could install an app that could run my Vonage account in the iphone it would be the greatest wifi voip phone ever

I tried the 999 social security number, but this not work for me, itunes never showed the option to prepaid account. I activated my IPhone with a prepaid account but i had to go the a few steps and 2 days.
I received and e-mail from AT&T telling that they need more information.
I called AT&T and said that i want a prepaid account, they told me to goto to AT&T store and get an pick your plan gophone number. i went back to home and tried activate the iphone again, didn't receive the option for a preparid acount the i tried the 999 SSN again and i received the same message: we need more time to process your application, then i received the e-mail telling me that AT&T needs more information. I called AT&T tell then that i went to an store and got a prepaid number then they activated my IPhone.
Hint: ask then to put the IPhone Data bundle in your account because the plan they put me they charge 10 USD per megabyte. with a few minutos of internet usage i spend almost 25 USD, i called AT&T (611) and change the plan to include IPhone data bundle but this will start only on the next billing period, until then must pay 10 USD per megabyte.

when does the option for prepaid come up? is it before or after the "Review your information screen" where you click submit?

An additional issue, so very relevant to rural folks, is how to keep an iPhone functioning when not living in an ATT coverage zone. Perhaps the pay ahead method will work ... ATT requires no more than 40 per cent off grid usage per month for long term contracted clients. We need to know more about those consequences for off ATT grid users.

Well, let's face it: the iPhone was primarily to be used as a phone.... if you want a good (and much cheaper) multimedia / handheld web browsing device get a Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) (BTW it plays games too and you can have as many memory cards stuffed with movies, as you want, you're not limited to the internal memory)

you can switch later to a contract but you will need a new sim card.

If I start on the iphone prepay plan and I like the coverage, reception, etc. can I switch to a contract later?

i did the all nines thing, and it worked without a hitch. i'm waiting for a certain group in the uk to crack the phone, then i'm going to put my tmo sim in there. woohoo!
