Im thinking of getting an unlocked iPhone but I want it to be on a prepaid phone company. Does anyone know any prepaid companies that work with the iphone?

The iPhone GSM (any model) can work easily on AT&T's gophone services as well as T-Mobile's but with T-Mobile you will only be able to use edge. It will work for Boost mobie as well (which is prepaid GSM) and yes the iphone does work on that carrier. This requires an unlock BTW. As for the iPhone 4 CDMA you can have it on Cricket, MetroPieceofCrapService, and Sprint. This requires a flash unlock which is more complicated because you ahev to edit the phone's internal files and set the APN and other setting to that specific carrier. Keep in mind that CDMA version, if unlocked, will only allow you to use text, sms, and phone. The data will not as it is still being figured out by the Dev-team. Good luck :)

Officially, the iPhone only works with AT&T and Verizon, and there are no prepaid plans for the iPhone with either wireless service. If you jailbreak and unlock the iPhone through unofficial (but not illegal) methods, you can get the iPhone to at least make/receive calls on a prepaid T-Mobile SIM card, but it isn't official and unlocking can pose a risk to the iPhone if you don't do it properly.

Nope. But you can unlock it.
That's what I am using. I have an unlocked iPhone and use a tmobile sim card. The cool thing about unlock is that I got installous. Which u can get apps for real! Buy one that's already unlock
