You simply could not switch out the SIM card–even to a different AT&T one!

But now with the iPhone OS 2.0 update, you can use all of those AT&T SIM cards that were previously disallowed. That’s right, folks. You can even use a prepaid GoPhone SIM card. This is a great option for those that can afford the one-time phone purchase price but not the recurring monthly bill. At just $20 a month, you get unlimited data and if you need to chat, just add some dollars to your account. Simple stuff, really. 

But take heed first gen iPhone users! the GoPhone SIM card will not work on the fly for you and requires the recently released PwonageTool. All other SIM cards do work, however, as do all SIM card types (including GoPhone) on the iPhone 3G.
