Well, it's been a day now, and I don't want to do the meta-doctor way because the steps confuse me. I'm not that tech savvy. So, i'm asking, if I bought the 1MB of data package for at&t gophone prepaid, would that be able to get my profile created and over with? Or if I were to go to an AT&T, would they be able to like, supply a sim with data just to help me get passed that? or will they laugh at me and tell me there's nothing they can do because my account is prepaid?
I would say yes and yes to both of your questions. You should be able to activate with an already active Go Phone prepaid card that has data added to it. TopTongueBarry (an AT&T employee here on the forums) has done it and confirmed it will work.
And yes, a number of our folks here who are with Sprint, bought the Unlocked Pre 2's from HP and were able to go to their local AT&T stores, explain that they needed to activate their phones with an active sim with data access and the store reps allowed use of one of the demo phone sims for the two minute activation process. I am the beneficiary of such an action. So be nice and you will most likely be successful.
