What would happen if I put my AT&T SIM in an iPhone...?
A friend of mine just bought a jailbroken iPhone 3GS. He plans to unlock it so that he can use it on T-Mobile and on overseas networks. (Yes, he knows that he won't have 3G data service.)
I have an unlocked Nokia E71 that I've been using on AT&T for over a year and a half. I have the "dumbphone" unlimited data plan for $15 per month. Said friend wants to use my SIM card in his iPhone, just to see if/how it works.
I've never owned an iPhone, so I am wondering what would/might happen if my SIM is used in his iPhone, even temporarily. Would AT&T detect that my SIM is being used in an iPhone and therefore upgrade my data plan automatically? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Yup, it'll happen... AT&T will remove that unlimited plan and place a $25 2GB cap plan instead, and, despite that data plan is changed, the iPhone will not connect to the internet until you change the IMEI
Thanks again.
Here's hoping that I can do that again in the future, but I guess it's not a huge deal if I have no choice but to go with the $25 2 GB plan. I haven't come anywhere close to using 2 GB in a month thus far.
