I don't know what was happeniong with yours, but there is no required plan for the G1. If you buy it on contract then you have to get a data plan, but other than that there is no requirement at all. And if you don't buy it on contract then you aren't even required to get a data plan.

lol, nextel phones aren't compatible with AT&T. They are IDEN, not GSM.

You need to create or sign in to a Gmail to get to a home screen on a G1, which requires data. I worked for Tmo for almost 2 years

So? What does that have to do with anything? The fact remains that the only plan requirement for a g1 is a data plan, and that is only on phne bought on contract. if you buy it off contract, you don't even need a data plan. There is no special G1 plan, so I have no idea what plan you had to upgrade to.

[subzero1313]

Because I didn't have data. Hence my plan "wasn't compatible" and technically the G1 data plan was coded differently then other data plans, so it does have "its own data plan" but thats a technicality. And idk where you got that info from, but everyone I know who bought the phone no contract had to add the data. Theyd come back 20 minutes later and couldn't get passed the 1st screen

Well they couldn't get past the first screen until they turned the WiFi on...

So your plan was absolutely compatible, you just had to get on the internet in order to sign into Google (and paying for an unlimited data plan isn't the only way to do that, but it will certainly work).

That is not the same thing at all as Sprint reps telling customers the unlimited data they have been paying for on their Windows Mobile phone won't work on their Hero or Pre, and requiring an upgrade before they will even activate the phone.
