Greetings all,
I did some googling but couldn't find a sure answer.
Picked up a 3g from my little brother. Got the go-ahead from ATT to unlock with these instructions:
______________________________________________________________________
Thank you for contacting AT&T Customer Care about unlocking your iPhone.
We have reviewed your request and confirmed that you are eligible to have the requested iPhone unlocked.
Please allow 24 hours upon receipt of this notification to complete the unlock.
To complete the unlock, simply:
_________________________________________________________________________________
The phone does not have a SIM card in it now. What I would like to know is: If I use somebody else's card, is that going to wipe out/mess up or cause any problem with her card or phone? Does it restore her data to my phone?
I'm going to switch over to Tmobil with the phone on their $30/month no contract plan for a bit to see if their coverage is decent in my area (Eugene, OR).
Thanks in advance for any advice!
