I bought my iPhone 3GS in Beijing a few years ago and am now back in the US. I want to do a prepaid plan like we did in PRC.
How do I do it? I don't see the point in getting a contract with a carrier as the phone is old and I don't want to replace it because it works just fine.
I've read paygo from Target/Best Buy but I'm not so tech savvy so I need some advice.
Thanks!
iPhone 3GS
if it's not sim locked then it's just a question of
popping in a sim card set not to request pin code and you're pretty much don

I've used it in other southeast asian countries with local sim cards so I assume it is unlocked...how do I reset the pin code? can I really go to target and buy a sim card with a prepaid plan and it will work? Should I do TMobile instead?
3GS iPhone purchased in Beijing. Factory unlocked. Brought it to Target and bought the cheapest TMobile phone with a sim card already in it. Also bought a 50USD recharge card as the sim came with only 10 minutes of calling time.
I ended up calling from the house phone to get it activated and was straight forward.
Trick was regular sim card size was only available with a TMobile phone all the rest were micro sim which is fine with a 4 or 4S.
So I just saved myself a huge hassle and I'm thrilled! When it's time for the 3GS to go to the kids I'll be more than happy to buy a new iPhone in PRC. There is no point being locked into a contract IMHO!
iphone 3GS from PRC (real) with prepaid card in US?
