If you have an unlimited data package it's grandfathered even if you upgrade or activate a different phone, so no need to trick the system.

You would actually have to call to get your data plan updated because iphones have their own data plan and your internet won't work if you sim swap, you need to switch to the regular smartphone plan. You will have the option of continuing with the unlimited.

Yes, they would know you were using a different phone. When you put your sim card in another phone and power it up it pings the tower and announces it's IMEI number.

If you upgrade to another smartphone you will be required to add one of the current data plans.

Well...

The smartphones I've heard good things about and their current web pricing would be:

1. LG Quantum - (WP7)- $0.01
2. Motorola Bravo - (Andriod) $49.99
3. Bberry Torch - $99.99
4. HTC Inspire - (Android) - $99.99
5. Samsung Focus - (WP7) - $99.99
6. Samsung Captivate - (Android) $149.99
7 Motorola Atrix - (Android) - 199.99

If you weren't using data before can you take advantage of then new texting packages that came out to lower your minutes and add data and end up at about the same price or less?

The new texting packages include mobile to mobile to any mobile phone regardless of carrier. Often after setting up the new packages we have been able to move people down in minutes if their landline calling is not high....

On another note, I saw that nokia was going to start producing windows phone 7 phones, so there may finally be a good nokia phone on at&t in the near future.

Link,

As reported you can keep your unlimited data on the Inspire. If you aren't getting any help locally. PM me. I can swap the feature over the phone. Thanks.
