My question is, what if any are my alternatives (calls, texts etc I don't care about at all) but what I need is a decent data cap.

(Could I for example, as I own the device go into AT&T and say I want the iPhone plan and give them my cc details or will they require bank info etc and proof of address)

(Been reading and still reading relevant threads on here)

Any help would be excellent.

Thanks,

Why even bother with trying to get a plan, just pick up a GoPhone sim on ebay. Prepaid data is $19.99 for 100mb...kinda pricey, but if you're using an iPhone you're kinda locked into AT&T for the best experience. EDGE on T-mo is noticeably slower, maps take forever to load. You are just not going to find a "decent data cap" on prepaid.
