The current status of the SIM cards provided by AT&T is that many 3G SIM cards are problematic with the neo1973 SH1. This issue is known and there is a bug report for tracking progress: http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=666)
Below are two tables to help users report their success or failure. If your card is not listed or have different results, please update the tables below.
(Note: When adding to the tables, please do not include the 20 digit ICCID, as this is your SIM's unique id. If you do your phone company will be able to track you down and 1984 may overpower 1973)

ATT's GoPhones also have a "Pick Your Plan" option described here: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/go-phones/pyp-plans-phones.jsp
These plans require no contract and have an option to get unlimited data transfer for $19.99/mo. This may be the cheapest non-contract method to get unlimited data. If someone tries this, please confirm that the SIM card that comes with these GoPhones can be transferred to an Openmoko device.
I bought the AT&T GoPhone package from Best Buy for $14.99 that includes the Motorola c168i. This phone came with the Blazing Fireball 3G SIM 71234 O 4022, so it should work with the FreeRunner. As soon as I get my FreeRunner I will try it and update this page. --Brianwc 21:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
