Hi Sieghard:
After reading the article and calling, and talking to Comcast and Verizon, I
know it should work, but truth is, I just have to ask, is it worth all the
trouble, and would it even accomplish the task in the end. To top things off,
Comcast currently has a deal until September 30 where you can get an iPhone8
256GB for $700, the same price for the iPhone8 64GB model. Since my wife's
iPhone 6 is dying quickly and she has to travel soon, we thought about this.
However, when we get there we get this stuff about limited supply and how they
only have the 64GB for $700. The guy then has the nerve to ask, DO you need
all that storage? I told him, since the 256 model is $150 off, do you need
$150?
Truth is Comcast has the best deal. $12 per GB of Data and $2 per line for
unlimited talk and text for Internet subscribers. My wife and I only use 1 to
2 GB between us so monthly bill would be $16 for 1 GB to $40 even if we used 3
GB. Problem is, it's not worth all the trouble if it probably won't happen
anyway.

Seems like you didn't read the article Zhi provided the link for, the person
who wrote it said he already had a line with them and put in the SIM into the
unlocked iPhone 5S he wanted to add and it worked, but still at the store they
told him they couldn't do it. Maybe at a different store it would be different,
but there are probably other good deals out there and my attitude here would be
that if they don't want my business and monthly payment possibly for years to
come then I go elsewhere and I would possibly go further and remove any other
services from them if I had any.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hello,
One solution to this would be to get a friend or family member's comcast sim,
put it in your AT&T iPhone, go back to the comcast store and show them very
directly that it indeed does work absolutely fine?<div
