I (foolishly?) upgraded to 1.1.3 and now whenever I try to access the EDGE network, I get a popup saying, "Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE". I have the EDGE icon (little blue E) and EDGE worked fine before the upgrade. D'oh!

EDGE login is broken for all GoPhone plans, at least in this area, according to AT&T tech support. My 1.1.2 iPhone doesnt work with EDGE either.

Warning: I called Tech Support when I originally encountered this issue. They temporarily 'fixed' it but in the process I got charged by the kbyte ($15 for two websites). AT&T reversed the charges and repaired the billing problem, but said that I will be charged by the kbyte until this problem is fixed (no ETA) and will have to call in for every charge to get it reversed.

Where is "this area?" How long have you had your problem, starfishy? I'm in the SF Bay Area and have not had troubles until today.

Yeah, sounds like this is a regional issue that happened to occur today. Whoops. I will call ATT and try to get them to open a ticket.

I have the same problem, upgraded to 1.1.3 this morning and now I have no edge support anymore. I am NOT in the SF area, I am in the Tri-cities, WA area. This weekend I will be going to Seattle, and I am sure it wont work there either.

Chalk up another person with the same "You are not subscribed to the EDGE network" issues with a gophone plan. I am in Wichita Kansas.

UPDATE: I just called a support rep and he is telling me they can only credit me $20 for the data plan that has been removed from my GoPhone plan since the 1.1.3 update removed it for some reason. Otherwise I have to pay for a full month again in advance to get the system to kick the data plan back on or wait until Feb, 6th when I am billed again. They are implying they can't do it manually. I find this incredibly hard to believe they can't do that. The rep I am talking to is calling tech support to see if there is an update on this problem or something they can do. If their system is SO inflexible they can't manually add the MediaNet package back to my plan it's no wonder AT&T has such a bad rap. Ok he just got back and told me that they can do nothing until another full payment is paid. Ridiculous. I hope someone has better luck than me in getting this fixed.

UPDATE:
The quick fix which activates the pay-per-use text/edge is also not working.  The system drops the fix every 24 hours, plus I imagine they don't want to devote man hours to manually adjusting affected accounts.  AT&T's position is that they will not continue to do the quick fix, rather they told me to wait 24hrs as they work on a permanent solution..  They also credited my account $20 for inconvenience and told me to look for WiFi.  I laughed.  Where's Chicago Muni-WiFi when you need it?


I had the same problem yesterday morning, prior to the release/install of 1.1.3.  It happened to be the day after my GoPhone account automatically refreshed, so I think it's more likely that the cause of the "You are not subscribed to EDGE" problem.

I called customer support and was told:
1) They (some) are aware of AT&T problems that cause the MediaNet package to drop from your account when you are charged the monthly fee, even though my account was setup for the iPhone data package and refreshed fine last month.
2) My text package (200) was also dropped.
3) The rep added the MediaNet and text package back on my account and told me that it would not be effective until the next auto-debit (1 month).
4) Unacceptable, asked to transfer to a supervisor, mysteriously disconnected.

I finally got a hold of a service rep:
1) She was aware of the problem, manually fixed it by adding pay per use internet and text.  She was going to monitor my account so she could reimburse amounts being charged as they happened up to when the problem was resolved by AT&T.
2)  Approximately $80 was charged and added in 5 hrs worth of casual internet/email use-- ouch

Edge stopped working this morning, time to call back and have it manually added?  This does not appear to be a problem with 1.1.3!  This is AT&T's issue with the way the computer refreshes your monthly iPhone data package.
