SIM card in pay as you go phone?

[Johnny iPhone]

Sorry for this post, I bet it's been covered but all the search terms related to "sim pay as you go" are ignored for being too short.

I am attending some football games/tailgates this year and don't want to bring the iPhone with me for fear of losing it or damaging it. I see some nice deals on pay as you go phones on att.com ($10 for refurbs) - will my iPhone sim work in these phones? Anything special I have to do?

Thanks!

Thanks... let me add, if someone knows of some good deals on a used/refurb/new phone that would make a good iPhone replacement for a day at the game, let me know.

has anyone found an answer on this yet? i was wondering the same thing the other day. i don't want to take my iPhone along with me when i'm out biking or whatever and was thinking i could just get a cheapo pre-paid and drop my sim card in it.

From what I hear your iPhone sim will have no problem working in another gsm phone....I have a tracfone that is gsm but I am too lazy to test it out.

The sim will work in any Cingular/ATT phone. I put my sim back and forth to use with my RAZR to get the contacts on to the sim card. Pay as you go phone can be used with the sim as well. My dad has apink RAZR that he bought as pay as you go, and he is using a regular sim card that I gave him for my family plan.

Have you tried other GSM phones?

Its a regular sim card, it will work fine, I have used my sims in many different phones. Any GSM will work with the sim card, I tried the sim from the iPhone in a GSM RAZR, an old GSM Motorola V551 (the blue one), and my wifes Cingular Sync, all worked fine.
