When you pay for the $50 Go Phone unlimited plan and do everything over the internet yourself, is there a way to get the data to work on the iphone without paying for the data feature that would be unlimited on other types of Go Phones ?? The iPhone is an older one but still works great for a Go Phone. All the featues work except the data portion which is suppose to be unlimited as well on the $50 Go Phone plan. Any thoughts on this from anyone or maybe a way to get around the extra cost of data service ???? Thanks.

The reason why you are not allowed unlimited data on your $50 Unlimited account is because you are using a smartphone such as the iPhone. Smartphones users under this plan are restricted from using unlimited data usage; instead, they have to purchase a capped data package separately if they would like to use prepaid data on their smartphone.
This is no exception in your case. Because you are not able to take advantage of the unlimited data portion of your plan, you have to purchase a separate data package if you WANT to use prepaid data on your iPhone. Again, you do not have to. To enable data, you will have to change the iPhone's APN settings to allow and recognize it.
