I'm not sure whether this question has been covered in another thread (I couldn't spot it). The speakout service offers great savings on the voice side but to my knowledge, there is nothing comparable on the data side. Is anyone aware of a prepaid data option (I'm not sure how it would be sold—it could be sold in MB or in minutes I guess). I would presume that if the PrePaid data card was on the Rogers wireless data network in Canada, the iphone would be able to access it.
As well, if there is a PrePaid data service in the US that runs on the AT&T (or some other GSM data network), I would appreciate knowing that as well.
And another question…. could an iphone use a SpeakOut service for voice and WiFi only and another PrePaid data card for Internet?

Thanks Andrew. I wasn't aware that speakout even had any kind of a data plan. What additional work would be required to use the data service? I haven't purchased the iphone yet but it will likely be a 16 or 32.
Another question. If I was to buy an unlocked iphone in the US, could I immediately set it up on the speakout plan or would I have to set it up on the Rogers network first and then re-configure it to work on speakout?

That's correct, several have reported that the 3g didn't work. I use it quite successfully on my 2g. I've read reports that it works fine on the 3Gs as well.

For the most part, any pay and talk service that uses gsm phones will likely work with an iPhone. Just aquire a sim and put it in. Finding service that you will be able to use data with will be a lot tougher. We really have a unique situation here.

You need to download the iPhone Configuration Utility, create a profile with those settings, then upload it to your phone. A complete tutorial can be found here…
