Right now they have active sweeps to determine which phone you have and disable wap push if they see you have an iphone. ]]>Jun 16th 2009 6:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/15/atandt-trying-to-force-iphones-out-of-prepaid-plans/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/15/atandt-trying-to-force-iphones-out-of-prepaid-plans/Jun 17th 2009 5:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/15/atandt-trying-to-force-iphones-out-of-prepaid-plans/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/15/atandt-trying-to-force-iphones-out-of-prepaid-plans/Jul 3rd 2009 2:44AM
