I have a very similar case to the thread at the very bottom
I have an iPhone that I want to use with the prepaid sim card I just bought. When I tried to input the imei for the iphone, it doesn't allow me. I need a "bogus" imei like the thread below me.
Could any AT&T personal help me please?
I appreciate it, thanks

Iphones are not supported for prepaid sims, there are ways to get it to work partially on the ATT network - best bet is to google it

yeah but I heard from numerous people that AT&T doesn't mind allowing you to use prepaid for your iphone because they are still getting business
Back then I remember they didn't allow it but these days they are much more lenient
edit: example would be the link to the other thread i added, that user contacted AT&T and got their iphone to work with prepaid no problem. I would do the same but I don't have a phone to call AT&T which is why i'm trying to contact them via forums or email but can't seem to get in contact with any AT&T reps

I'm not looking to get a data plan with wifi
I just want the prepaid to be activated on my iphone so I can use Talk/Text only
I know AT&T has done this for many people in the past and i'm hoping some AT&T rep could see this thread and help me out please
Thank you

Right now I don't have access to a car since my tire just blow out and it's not drivable

I don't think it matters, Just try all 0's.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be a certain number, just make one up, I think they are 15 digits long.
I am not for sure on this but i'm pretty sure.
