No data allowed for AT&T prepay Iphone users?!

I have an unlocked iphone that I use for travelling around, and have just changed my AT&T prepay rate to the $50 a month unlimited plan, which includes unlimited calls, texts, international texts and data for "regular phones".

The small print reads:

Note: Smartphone Users: You may use your Smartphone on all GoPhone plans. Smartphone users must purchase a Data package to use Data services on any plan. Pay-per-use data is not available on Smartphones.
The rates shown are:

500 MB $25
100 MB $15
5 MB $5

However, according to the agent, I cant use the iphone (and she also said Blackberry) even with the purchase of the above data packages, which if true is rather unbelievable, and then also makes AT&T useless as a network for the occasional US traveler.

Does anyone have any info/experience with this?
