    I want to buy an unlocked jailbroken iphone off ebay and then use my current SIM card I am using with an old nokia phone. I assume the phone and texting part will work, but I have been reading around the middle of 2009 AT&T decided to make some change to their network so the iPhone can't be used with the pay as you go plan. Is this true? Is there a way I can use a jailbroken phone on the AT&T network with a pre-paid plan?

    Unlocking has no effect upon how the phone will work on a network. Unlocking is a local issue between the phone and SIM card. The carrier uses the IMEI to determine whether the phone is acceptable on its network. Unlocking the phone does not change the IMEI.

    You don't have to unlock it you can just use any sim card that is on AT&T network. On my iPhone I use airvoice prepaid sim card it's only $40 month for unlimited text and talk. The only thing is that I do not have internet I'm always around wireless access points so I just use WIFI for my internet. I'm bout to buy me a pay as you gophone with data and take out the sim card to see if the internet will work on my iPhone. Other than that my phone works fine with a prepaid sim card.

    Yes, it should not make any diff. The fact that your iphone is unlocked and jailbroken you should be able to use any sim and pay as you go plan is no exception
